Wars in the Middle East are not only a war of weapons, but also sects, ideologies, energy lines and global domination desires. The hostility between Iran and Israel that has been going on for years is now about to cross the controlled tension threshold. But the point is not just that the two states threaten each other. This is the trailer of the bloodiest domino scenario in the Middle East.
Why this war now?
For years, Iran has been carrying out a strategy of encircling Israel with the front it established with Hezbollah, Shiite militia groups and Hamas under the name of "axis of resistance". Israel responded to this with a "preventive attack" policy: the airport in Damascus was hit, Iranian scientists were killed, cyber attacks were carried out on nuclear facilities. Finally, the war in Gaza escalated this hostility to the evolved directly into a hot war.
But the point is not just to intimidate Iran, which supports Hamas. this is a redesign war. They want to bring the entire Middle East map to a consistency in which Iran is pacified, Israel's military superiority is legitimized and US hegemony is perperpetuated.
Us effect and big picture
America no longer wants to exist in the Middle East, not militarily, but with proxy forces. Iran is held in the role of a “continuous threat” in this equation. because the easiest way to legitimize Israel's presence in the region is to demonize Iran.
The United States also wants to send a message to China and Russia through a war with Iran: "Your energy lines pass over the instability we have established." Let's not forget; Iran is not only for Israel, but also for China's oil route, Russia's opening ally from the south.
Turkey's stance: strategic squeeze
Turkey does not want to be an open side in this war. On the one hand, it is part of Nato, on the other hand, it is one of the most open supporters of the Palestinian people. However, due to reasons such as commercial relations with Israel, energy transfer, and the fact that American bases are deployed in Turkey, the state language is always a few steps behind the emotionality of the people.
If this war expands, Turkey will be harshly affected in terms of both economic, security and social stability. Because there are accumulations of the usa and Russia along the border line, and sectarian fault lines are getting sharper inside.
Russia, Chinese and Arabs
Russia acts together with Iran in Syria, but it also takes care not to cause a crisis with Israel. For Putin, Israel and Iran are bargaining trump cards. If Iran is weakened in the war, Russia's sphere of influence expands. But its complete collapse does not work for Moscow.
China, on the other hand, invests in Iran through energy resources. In a possible war, China's supply chain will be under threat. This will force Being to make diplomatic moves. However, it is not expected to intervene directly.
The Arab world is quiet. Countries such as Saudi Arabia, Bae, Bahrain have been covertly cooperating with Israel against Iran for a long time. Countries such as Jordan and Egypt are either silent or indirect support due to internal instability. Palestine is alone. Because the "Arab street" is angry but the leaders are passive.
Nuclear risk and radiation scenario
Iran's nuclear program has always been the red line of war. Israel's biggest fear is that Iran will develop nuclear weapons. That's why Israel has repeatedly sabotaged nuclear facilities such as Natanz with cyber attacks. but if a direct attack happens, it will affect the entire region, not just Iran.
A possible nuclear plant bombing can cause radiation leaks not only in Iran, but also in neighboring countries. Depending on the direction of the wind, the eastern borders of Turkey, Iraq and Syria can be affected by this leak. This is not just a war, but a potential ecological disaster.
Although it is not officially disclosed, it is known that there are nuclear weapons in Israel's hands. If there is a large-scale attack on Iran's facilities and it is reciprocated, nuclear instability will begin in the region, not nuclear deterrence. This is not what Israel wants — but it is a big gain for the us arms lobbies.
The real war: knowledge, perception and silence
This war is not fought with weapons, but also with perception. Western media shows Iran as "crazy" and Israel as "self-defending". Social media algorithms are silencing Palestine. Warplanes are in the sky, disinformation satellites are on the internet.
As long as Muslims continue to separate each other as "shia-Sunni", no one will win in this war. Because if Iran falls, it will be someone else's turn. We are renewing piece by piece. And while being defeated, we look at each other, not the enemy.
Result: whose war, whose peace?
This war is not just for Israel's security nor just for Iran's ego. This war is the war of redesigning an uncontrolled Islamic geography. The winners at the end of this war are the war barons, arms lobbies and believers in the strategic depth illusion.
But the losers...
Palestinian children, Iranian civilians, poor families in Lebanon, people stuck in the market with Turkish lira, younger generations growing up with hostility and most importantly: hope.
And perhaps the most painful one is this:
Those who will start this war are clear.
But those who can stop it are still silent.
The loneliness of the ummah
At the end of the 1990s, several secret documents from the U.S. foreign affairs were laying the foundations of a map that would later shape the entire Middle East. It was called the “greater Middle East project” (bop), but in reality it was the plan to reshape the boundaries, leaders and peoples of the Islamic world.
It started in Iraq. Millions of Muslims were killed by saying "we will bring democracy". The Saddam regime collapsed, but it was not "freedom" that replaced it, but chaos.
It continued in Syria. A popular uprising turned into a proxy war. Iran, Hezbollah, Russia, Turkey, USA, Israel, all of them were lined up like chess stones in this area.
But the strange thing was this:
No stone played for Palestine.
Why bop is not a map, but a chain?
Bop not only divided Iraq into three, but also made sectarian wars permanent.
All distinctions such as Sunni – Shia, Kurdish – Arab, secular – Islamist were opened like a file.
This time, it was made with identities, not with maps.
Iran has been enemized, because Israel's security requires an enemy.
Turkey was controlled because it was the only country in the NATO whose people were standing for Palestine.
Egypt was silenced because it was Gaza's windpipe.
Lebanon was confused because Hezbollah had to be silenced.
Saudi Arabia was bought, because Mecca and Medina were asked not to speak again.
This loneliness is not the political loneliness of the ummah; it is the spiritual disintegration.
We pray for Jerusalem, but we are silent while the damascus collapses.
We are angry when Baghdad is bombed, but when Tehran is targeted, we say "sect".
This is bop's greatest achievement: breaking down our mental map.
