(June 16, 2026)

Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa may travel to Ankara to meet with U.S. President Donald Trump on the sidelines of the upcoming NATO summit, though he has not received an official invitation to the gathering, according to information obtained by Türkiye Today.

Contrary to the reports published earlier in Turkish media, the Syrian leader is not included on the official guest list for the alliance‘s formal event. However, sources indicate a face-to-face meeting with Trump remains a possibility as global leaders converge on the Turkish capital.

Trump plaudert am G7-Gipfel Plan B aus für Fortsetzung der Kriege in Westasien

Euronews berichtete mit der Schlagzeile, Trump habe Netanjahu zu „mehr Verantwortung“ ermahnt und Syriens Präsidenten als den „Fähigsten“ zur Bekämpfung der Hisbollah bezeichnet. Das ist der Terrorist, auf den die USA davor eine Kopfprämie von 50 Millionen Dollar ausgesetzt hatten und der jetzt für sie arbeitet – als Terrorist. Middle East Eye nannte es eine Bestätigung von Berichten, die „ein hochrangiger US-Beamter ursprünglich dementiert hatte“ — nämlich dass Washington Syrien zu einer Invasion des Libanon drängt.

Syria‘s al-Sharaa rejects military action against Hezbollah despite Trump‘s push – report

New details have also emerged regarding discussions involving Israeli and Lebanese representatives. Reports indicate that Trump proposed a framework in which the Syrian military would play a central role in a future effort to disarm Hezbollah.

The proposal, however, has reportedly faced skepticism from multiple sides. Israeli officials have questioned Syria‘s ability to effectively confront Hezbollah, while Lebanese authorities oppose the presence of foreign troops operating within Lebanon.

Israeli attacks in Syria and Lebanon threaten Türkiye, President Erdogan says

„Türkiye‘s security begins not in Hatay, but in Aleppo, Damascus and Beirut. Neither will we tolerate any faits accompli in our brothers‘ countries, nor will we turn a blind eye to aggression,“ he said, stressing that the country‘s security extends beyond its borders.

President Erdogan also referred to what he described as Israelis’ „delusion of the Promised Land,“ saying Türkiye was fully aware of its ultimate objective.

Türkei: Justizputsch in Ankara

Der 38. Parteitag der noch auf Staatsgründer Mustafa Kemal Atatürk zurückgehenden Republikanischen Volkspartei (CHP), auf dem 2023 der jetzige Parteichef Özgür Özel den langjährigen Vorsitzenden Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu abgelöst hatte, wurde wegen angeblicher Delegiertenbeeinflussung für »vollständig nichtig« erklärt.

Das Gericht beschloss, dass Kılıçdaroğlu vorerst die Parteigeschäfte führen soll. Er hatte seine Bereitschaft dazu bereits am Tag vor dem Urteil signalisiert.

Turkish Parliament Speaker Calls for Suspension of Israel‘s UN Membership

(April 18, 2026)

The Turkish official drew a direct historical parallel to the global response against Apartheid South Africa, which saw its credentials suspended by the UN General Assembly in 1974. „Just as the world united to suspend South Africa‘s membership over its racist, criminal policies, we must now act with the same resolve against the Israeli regime for its identical treatment of the Palestinian people,“ he argued. „This is not merely a regional dispute; it is a litmus test for the credibility of the international legal order.“

Turkey says Israel should be suspended from UN General Assembly

(August 25, 2025)

On 27 September 1974, the UN Credentials Committee rejected South Africa’s credentials, a routine procedure before General Assembly meetings.

Three days later, the General Assembly passed Resolution 3207, urging the Security Council to review South Africa’s membership in light of its constant violations of the Charter.

Although the Security Council vetoed the resolution, in November of that year the president of the General Assembly, Algeria’s Abdelaziz Bouteflika, ruled that, given the Credentials Committee’s decision and the adoption of Resolution 3207, the General Assembly would refuse to allow South Africa’s delegation to participate in its work.

South Africa remained suspended from the General Assembly until June 1994, following the end of apartheid.

Activists argue that the UN General Assembly could apply the same process to Israel. They note that the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in July 2024 issued an advisory opinion declaring Israel’s decades-long occupation of Palestinian territories “unlawful” and its near-complete segregation of populations in the West Bank a breach of international law on “racial segregation” and “apartheid”.

A U.S. Ground Invasion of Iran Would Face 1 Million Troops, 4,000 Tanks, and Mountains That Favor the Defenders

As is often the case in large-scale military operations, logistics are crucial to success. Preparing, staging, and deploying a large, mechanized ground force is a massive and difficult undertaking, and in this case, the favorable points of entry are most likely Turkish territory or the ocean. It seems unlikely the United States could stage an invasion force in Iraq.

To say the prospective operation is “high-risk” might be an understatement. Any concentration of U.S. forces would immediately offer a target for Iran’s remaining precision-guided ballistic missiles.

Iran will not target any country not used for aggression: Pezeshkian

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has reiterated that the country will refrain from any action against neighboring countries provided their airspace, territory, or waters are not used as platforms for attacks on Iranian soil and people.

He made the remarks in a telephone conversation with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to discuss regional developments following the recent US-Israeli military aggression against Iran.

He categorically rejected media claims propagated by outlets aligned with Israel and the United States that Iran had launched missile strikes against Turkey.

Turkish President Erdogan tells Iran that the violation of Türkiye‘s airspace ‘cannot be excused for any reason’

Last Wednesday, the ministry said a ballistic munition fired from Iran toward Turkish airspace after crossing Syria and Iraq was intercepted and neutralized by NATO air and missile defense units in the Eastern Mediterranean.

Türkiye is „negatively affected“ by conflicts in which it is not a party, Erdogan also told his Iranian counterpart.

Ankara does not approve of the „unlawful interventions“ against Iran and Iran‘s targeting of countries in the region, Erdogan stressed, adding that targeting brotherly countries „is not in anyone‘s interest” and “these actions must end.“

Will Turkey Invade Iran?

(March 3, 2026)

Independent Turkish press described two possible scenarios for Turkish military action: an early-stage push to establish border shelters for a refugee crisis, and later incursions into Iran to secure a buffer zone if the Iranian state fails. Turkey’s intervention in northern Iraq—combining extensive airstrikes with a network of ground outposts in a mountainous, insurgent-sheltering hinterland—holds clues as to what such a buffer zone might look like in Iran. Nevertheless, the magnitude of PJAK or Kurdish coalition activity in a collapsing Iran would be the final determinant.
