The Greater Middle East Project, step by step...

Israel has attacked Iran... Iran is responding with missiles. The tension that has lasted for years is about to turn into a hot war...
The question is very clear and simple: Why is Iran being targeted?

What is the real goal of the US, UK, and Israel?

The sole purpose of the occupations, wars, flowing blood and tears, divided and fragmented countries, ethnic and sectarian clashes, and much more in the Middle East is: The Greater Middle East Project (GMEP).
Greater Israel, the so-called 'Kurdistan'... Call it what you will, it is the great project of imperialism...

Before the Assad administration in Syria was toppled, we stated in this column again, again, and again: The GMEP continues on its path despite everything

"Israel's attacks are not slowing down. Hassan Nasrallah, one of the most important powers of the Middle East and the anti-imperialist line, has been killed. The US-UK-Israel imperialist alliance in the Middle East continues its massacres against the leaders of the struggle against it...
Palestine, Lebanon, Iran, Iraq, Syria, Yemen... All are being targeted. The Greater Middle East Project (GMEP) continues on its path... The ultimate goal is Turkey..."

Is it enough to read the occupying Israel's attack on Iran without taking the GMEP into account, perceiving it only as a hegemony war or a power struggle based on religious justifications?
There are also those who are angry at the current regime in Iran and take a 'neutral' stance. There are even those who support Israel, claiming it will 'bring civilization'. The people of a country can change that country's regime. The internal dynamics and current conditions of countries are decisive. Who would benefit from a change brought about by imperialism, by external intervention, and especially by an intervention from a war machine that has the blood of millions of oppressed people, children, and families on its hands?

It is possible to multiply the questions.

And what should be said about the collaborators who support the occupation and imperialist intervention? How should one interpret the statement of support for Israel and the call for the public to revolt against the Iranian administration by an organization called 'PAK', which has 'freedom' in its name and claims to be fighting for the freedom of the Kurds?
When we strain our memory a little, it is possible to remember the Iraqi Communist Party that supported the US occupation of Iraq, and the so-called anti-Zionists who rejoiced at Israel's occupation of Syria. How are they any different from those among us who said, "I wish the Greeks had won"!

Speaking of memory, let us write it again. In capital letters, which means 'shouting' in literature: THE GMEP IS ADVANCING STEP BY STEP!

What is the GMEP?

The GMEP map published in the US Armed Forces Journal in 2006 showed that the borders of 22 countries were being changed. The GMEP envisions the seizure of administrations along with the changing of countries' borders, the seizure of their underground and surface resources, and their division and fragmentation along sectarian and ethnic lines...

In 2003, Iraq was occupied, then Saddam Hussein was executed. Subsequently, a US-collaborator autonomous administration was established in Northern Iraq, and the country was effectively divided into three as Shiite and Sunni corridors. Hundreds of thousands of people were massacred. Oil and the country's resources fell into the hands of the occupiers.

Afghanistan was occupied, then the Taliban regime took control of the country.

In occupied Lebanon, Hezbollah, led by Nasrallah, repelled Israel with the 2006 resistance. Nasrallah lost his life in an Israeli attack. The anti-Israel and anti-imperialist front suffered a major blow. It was also a deep loss for Palestine!

In 2011, a civil war was incited in Syria by provoking fundamentalist and ethnicist structures to topple the Assad regime. Instability was escalated by ISIS/Al-Qaeda. With US support, the PYD/PKK was placed in the region in northern Syria. Terrorist acts were continued in Turkey, Iraq, and Iran. On December 8, 2024, the Assad regime was toppled. Israel occupied southern Syria. It destroyed the country's defense systems. It is currently using the airspace as it pleases (Israel also uses Iraq's airspace as it pleases). The imperial bloc has also gotten rid of the Syria trouble for now...

Libyan leader Muammer Gaddafi, who was etched in memories for his great support to Turkey during the 1974 Cyprus Peace Operation, was murdered by reactionary mobs. Gaddafi's Libya, which offered many opportunities to its people for free, is currently in three pieces...

Palestine has been under occupation and attack for years... There are two separate administrations in the West Bank and Gaza. Support for Palestine has been cut off due to regime changes in Iraq, Libya, and Syria!

The ultimate goal of imperialism is Turkey!

In the middle of this ring of fire, Turkey is protected by the secular-unitary state structure founded by Atatürk. Our national unity protects us. In most Middle Eastern countries, ethnic, sectarian, and feudal powers hold the power. There is no nation-based common structure.

Difficult days are ahead of us...

It is said that "a single thread holds forty patches together in the Middle East." In today's picture, Turkey is the power that holds the pieces together and unites them. However, our Great Leader Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk's "Peace at home, peace in the world" and region-centered foreign policy is before us... A line based on mutual interest, rational, objective, and for the benefit of the country and oppressed nations, without getting caught up in adventures, daily thoughts, and ideological obsessions, and without interfering in anyone's internal affairs, must be maintained.

Let us hold on tightly to our homeland, our unity and integrity, the Atatürk Republic, and the principle of "Peace at home, peace in the world," and let us stand together!

Let us not forget that; "Nothing is a coincidence in the Middle East!"
