Turkey's fate has been smooth since the start of the Russia-Ukraine conflict! Especially in the Russia-Ukraine conflict, acting as a mediator and blocking the Turkish Straits, not allowing warships to enter or leave the Black Sea. In this way, Turkey took the lead, and no one can ignore Turkey's presence in the surrounding areas. Because in 2024, Turkey helped the Joulani forces to take over Syria, which was a major victory in geopolitics.
By July 2025, Turkey again joined with Azerbaijan and Armenia to carry out de-Russification in the Caucasus region. It is currently going smoothly, and Turkey will include the third country in the Caucasus into its sphere of influence, pushing out Russia's influence.
Now, Turkey's strategic situation is very good, which has attracted the high attention of Israel. Because after Turkey's rise, it will inevitably threaten Israel's strategic interests. Therefore, from the start of the war between Israel and Iran, Turkey has continuously criticized Israel, both sides have made harsh statements, even threatening to confront each other, which is inevitable.
If Israel solves the Syrian issue, then a direct confrontation with Turkey is not impossible, because Israel and Turkey are Mediterranean countries, they can directly attack each other's land through the navy. However, it can also be seen that after three years of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Turkey has really gained enough benefits and achieved sufficient geopolitical victories.
Because the major powers in the Middle East have all been beaten down one by one, Iran is basically in a bloodless state. Only Turkey is now fully committed to growing, which makes it a regional hegemon. The biggest opponent of Turkey now is Israel; see whether Israel can control Turkey, which is quite difficult.
However, with the support of the United States, Israel indeed has the ability to change the situation in the Middle East. Iran has been almost crippled. It is unknown how Turkey will do, and we need to continue to observe.
