      Amid intensifying escalation across the Middle East, a Turkish media outlet has highlighted controversial remarks by retired U.S. Colonel Douglas McGregor, sparking strong reactions in Ankara.

      According to the report, McGregor suggested that after Iran, attention could shift toward the “elimination” of Turkey, placing Ankara in what he described as the next phase of a widening regional confrontation following U.S. and Israeli airstrikes on Iranian targets.

        No, I’m talking about Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett saying: “A new Turkish threat is emerging… And from here I warn: Turkey is the new Iran” at the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations on February 17th.

        But it’s nice to see that they already have their messaging in line.
