Questioning Israel’s regional policies, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said the country could declare Turkey as a new opponent in the future. According to him, Israel’s strategic position is such that they use conflict as a means of survival.
In an interview with Anadolu News, Fidan said Israel’s focus could shift to the other side after the current tensions over Iran, and that Turkey could be a potential target.
He also talked about the relationship between Iran and the United States. According to him, both countries are interested in a diplomatic solution, but in reality there are complications to reach an agreement. The recent meeting in Islamabad reflects the reality in which no agreement has been reached despite lengthy negotiations.
According to analysts, Turkey’s statement has brought the growing range of competition and security concerns among regional powers.
Every strategic position in the present context of the Middle East has a multi-dimensional impact, where diplomacy and military calculations are working together.
