Iran and Turkey discuss military cooperation, signal intent to build a stronger regional ‘security’ partnership
Turkey is a member of NATO; its NATO membership serves the interests of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan as he pursues his expressed vision of a revived Ottoman Empire with himself as caliph, particularly now that the EU and America are arming him.
Iran’s Defense Minister Brigadier General Aziz Nasirzadeh and his Turkish counterpart Yasar Guler met in Ankara, where they discussed expanding military cooperation and signaled intentions to build a stronger regional security partnership.
General Nasirzadeh, who has traveled to Ankara at the official invitation of Turkish Chief of General Staff General Yasar Guler, held talks with senior Turkish officials, saying the visit provided a platform for direct discussions on bilateral defense cooperation and wider regional issues.
Highlighting cultural and religious ties, Nasirzadeh said Iran and Turkey share broad common ground, adding that differences are minor compared with shared interests.
He said strengthening defense ties with neighboring countries is a priority for Tehran.
He described Turkey as a key Muslim nation with political, economic and military influence, adding that stronger military cooperation could help address challenges facing the Islamic world and the region….
Erdogan is indeed fully dedicated to Islam; so much so, in fact, that he has stated that there is no difference between Turkey and the Taliban in beliefs.
Islam knows no boundaries at all in employing deception. Its classic theology divides the world in two — dar al Harb and dar al Islam — that is, the House of War and the House of Islam, respectively. “War is deceit,” in the words of Muhammad (Sunan Abī Dāwūd 2637), and “Allah is the best of deceivers” (Qur’an 3:54).
