With possible Iranian Israeli escalation in the region how should Turkey position itself?

[Cash GK]

Looks like Iran and Israel going towards a full collusion. Yesterday was just a teaser.

How should Turkey position itself? Obviously we should stay neutral but we need to take precautions.

Possible precautions:
1. In case Israel Iran war escalates, turn of the radar that protects Israel
2.Iran Israel war will be in Syria first so create buffer zone to keep militants and refugees in Syria
3. If Israel starts to smash main land Iran, secure a wall, and create buffer zone in Iran for refugees.
4. Use diplomacy to stop the Iranian Israeli war

it will not happen soon but if happna turk will go with iran.. iran will be their natural allie. because they have long border together..

I know why are you asking?

Just curious u thought u might play into their propaganda. Iran is good but , not that good..

The Iranian Air Force chief making threats is like a chihuahua, lots of barking and little to no biting. The Iranians are capable in Assymetric warfare no doubt but they barelly have a standing airforce.

Regardless its none of our business whatever happens between the two. We might have problems with Israel but i dont think Turkey actually seeks its destruction, which is why Turkey is kinda in the middle between these two countries.

Iran has a new jets no? Qhaher or something.

no way!

That's a testing bed project for future projects, all that was created was a prototype model.

Air force is not priority of Iran, using air force is not iran's strategy.

Of course he is talking rubbish, but every time Iranian is killed there is a response for Israel. No Iranian was injured or killed these days, Zionists only use it as excuse to illegally strike Syria.

It's a shame you think Turkey lacks the moral principles to stand against Israel.

Not going to happen.

Its already happening, just in slow motion, opaquely, with no conclusion...yet.

The OP said "full collusion [sic]". That is not happening. Not in slow motion or fast motion.

Well that's a bad strategy.

I am a Pakistani Muslim and i will like Israel to get eliminated from the map but in reality Iranian Airforce cannot withstand against Israeli Airforce for a single day in one to one battle. Iranian aircrafts are obsolete beyond the limits and their electronic warfare capability is also not a thing to be discussed.

My understanding of what you're saying is that Iran's airforce will instantly and completely cave into the IAF. Even if i agree the IAF is better than Iranian airforce, the advantage Israel's airforce has over Iran's is not big or great IMO. Also remember that airforces wont engage in a vacuum. There is an extra aerial context that also affects the aircrafts engaged in hostile actions. There will be no Israeli victory without US help.

War is not fought in 21century throgh military...Rather through Trade and economic influence...In spite of so many sanction, Iran is still completing with combine force of West and Israel due to iys policy of getting engaged with most of countries that matters to them..

Even if Israel is mimifarily strong, it has failed miserably in alligning politically with significant part of this world.


In a nut shell, Iran is a survivor....it will not use army to attack but passive means auch as hezbolla and victimhood image of Palestine conflict to gain milage over Israel..

I didnt realize seeking the destruction of a state is the result of a lack of "moral principles". You can disagree and outright reject a certain county's domestic and foreign policy without seeking its destruction. I rather prefer to see a 2 state solution to the Palestinian/Israeli conflict rather then the outright destruction of the latter.

Either way we have no horse in this race, and thats the hard reality of the situation. If Iran cant even help us get rid of the PKK in Qandil then why the hell would you think we would help you destroy/oppose an admittedly powerfull small state.

Well that's a bad strategy.

When Turkey can achieve something against Israel apart from bowing to them then having Zionist soldiers attack and kill your aid workers on a boat, then working with Israel to make Syria weak so Israel can do what they like, then you can tell us what is a good strategy.

"destruction" is zionist media lie, even our regime said if Palestinians-Israelis can reach peace and make deal then we have no problems.

I also prefer to see a two state solution, this is about standing up to a European settler-colonial apartheid regime, not about seeking their destruction.

LOL.
Why are you so mad? It's fact and reality.

In a Iran-Israel war the Israelis would dominate, just because Air superiority. --> Arab-Israeli wars.

If Iran and Israel shared a border yes. But they do not. Delilah cruise missile range = 250km. if they get all the way to iranian border (cross syria + iraq) then maybe they can attack ahvaz... but not much else.

What you think, they fire jericho from f-16?
