Turkey Warns of Military Action in Iraq: Turkey has given a big statement amid the increasing war in the Middle East. It has warned that it could take military action in northern Iraq if Kurdish fighters engage in a ground war against Iran. There is a possibility of further increase in tension in the region after the talks between Erdogan and Trump.
A new twist has emerged amid the ongoing tension in the Middle East. This time the statement has come from Turkey, which has clearly indicated that if Kurdish fighters join the ground war against Iran, it will not shy away from taking military action in northern Iraq. This is the same strategy which Turkey has already adopted in Syria also. After this statement, the politics of the Middle East has become more sensitive, because now there is a possibility of opening of new fronts in the already ongoing war.

Turkey’s concern about Kurdish organizations
This warning from Turkey is especially about two Kurdish organizations, Kurdistan Workers’ Party and Kurdistan Free Life Party. Turkey suspects that these organizations may be involved in the ongoing conflict in western Iran with Israel’s support. If this happens, this war will not be limited to only two countries, but can spread across the entire region.
According to sources, since February 28, when the United States and Israel intensified attacks, Turkey has been continuously warning that Kurdish fighters should not be used in this conflict.
Phone conversation between Erdogan and Trump
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan also talked to US President Donald Trump on phone on this issue. Erdogan clearly said that Turkey will not accept the use of any terrorist organization. He also stressed that all countries should respect each other’s borders and sovereignty. After this conversation, it is believed that America has also indicated to be cautious in this matter.
Message also sent to Northern Iraq
Turkey’s Foreign Ministry and intelligence agencies have also given a clear message to the Kurdish administration of Northern Iraq that if the situation worsens, Turkey can take military action here too. Meanwhile, jailed PKK leader Abdullah Öcalan has also warned his organization not to get caught in the game of any external force.
Why does Israel want the help of Kurdish fighters?
According to political analysts, Israel’s strategy has been to use Kurdish fighters present in northern Iraq to penetrate into Iran and carry out attacks.
However, America seems to be withdrawing from this plan. President Trump has clearly indicated that he does not want to involve Kurdish fighters directly in this war. Experts say that this decision has been taken keeping in mind America’s relations with Turkey.
NATO’s role also increased
Amidst this entire incident, the role of NATO is also under discussion. According to political analyst Murat Yetkin, a new phase seems to be beginning in the relations between Turkey and NATO. He said that NATO has strengthened its air defense system to stop missiles coming towards Turkey. If Turkey is attacked, NATO can come forward to protect it.
Will tension increase further in the Middle East?
Experts believe that if Kurdish fighters join this conflict, the situation may become more complicated. The strategies of big countries like Turkey, Israel, Iran and America can prolong this war. America is currently trying to ensure that there is no direct conflict between Turkey and Israel, so that this conflict does not escalate further.
