Turkey Iran

Israeli security officials are concerned that Iranian cells with local Turkish operatives would carry out an immediate attack.

In an interview with The Jerusalem Post, Hakham Bashi (Chief Rabbi) Ishak Haleva said Israelis should feel at home in Turkey, contradicting repeated warnings by Foreign Minister Yair Lapid.

After enjoying his time in Turkey, Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro went to Tehran where met with President Ebrahim Raisi.

Security officials said they are worried Iran might launch a drone or missile attack over the assassination of IRGC Colonel Hassan Sayad Khodayari.

Tehran has been poking at Israel and is finding that Israel is very aware of the threats against it and is prepared to confront them.  

The creation of a new “group” called Ahrar Sinjar may be an excuse to strike Turkey now, alleging to be responding to other Turkish attacks.

The attack targeting the Turkish base near Bashiqa is not the first, as it was targeted in December 2021 and also January 2022, with reports staying that there was also an attack in November 2021.

The target of the operation was an Israeli businessman, in retaliation for the killing of Iranian nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh in 2020.

ran is deeply concerned by what it sees as Turkish meddling in the Caucasus, and also the chance that Iran could be cut off from Russia.

For years, Turkey would say one thing to Moscow and Tehran while telling Washington’s Iran hawks that Turkey was “against Russia and Iran.”
