Turkey has issued a stern warning to the United States, Iraq, and Kurdish forces: if Kurdish organizations dare to participate in any action against Iran, Turkey will not hesitate to take direct military measures—joining Iran’s side!
This would mark the first time a NATO member state enters the conflict.
According to the Turkish news portal “Türkiye,” from the very beginning of the campaign against Iran, Turkey had learned that Israel’s intelligence agency, Mossad, had attempted to contact the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) and its Iranian branch, the Kurdistan Free Life Front (PYAK), seeking to exploit these groups—designated as terrorist organizations by Turkey—as ground-level "intermediary forces" to help topple Iran.
The President has already called Trump directly, clearly stating Turkey’s position on Iran’s territorial integrity: “We will not entertain any claims about so-called proactive actions. We will launch attacks. Just as you’ve seen us act in Syria, we will intervene here too. Any attempt to spread war across this region will prompt us to take necessary measures.”
Turkey’s message is unequivocal: once the war escalates and Kurds are involved, Ankara will no longer view it as an Iran-related conflict, but rather as a direct threat to its own national security.
Erdogan has drawn a red line—willing to join Iran’s camp if needed—but absolutely refusing any proxy warfare, and strictly forbidding even the slightest emergence of Kurdish independence movements.
The warning is now out there!
As the saying goes, experience still beats youth. Erdogan has long anticipated Netanyahu and the U.S.’s moves—and isn’t afraid to confront them openly.
