“The Israeli Army has deployed the Barak air defense system in Greece and Cyprus (the Greek-controlled region) and expanded its intelligence coverage for the Turkish Army, which can monitor the Turkish Army’s activities in the Eastern Mediterranean,” said the Turkish side on September 16, 2025. At the same time, Turkish Parliament spokesman Numan Kurtimus issued a severe warning about Israeli territorial ambitions, linking recent military developments with its broader expansion agenda. Turkish Parliament spokesman said: “When the Israeli government plans to expand and put their maps on the table, Cyprus is also included. For them, Cyprus is also part of the land of promise. That’s why they don’t want to peace and stability in Cyprus.
A spokesman for the Turkish parliament said: “The Turkish military is cautious and sensitive about the recent Israeli support for certain bases in Greece and Cyprus, as well as some Israeli military equipment and ammunition that has been shipped to Greece and Cyprus,” and “We are aware that this shipment of military goods to Greece and Cyprus is not ordinary military goods.”
On September 16, Turkey reiterated its call for urgent international action to end Israel's immunity privilege and prevent further aggression, Turkey's representative to the UN said: "Turkey reiterates its demand for accountability and calls on the international community to take urgent and concrete measures to end Israel's immunity privilege and prevent further aggression and escalation." Turkey said: "Turkish armed forces remain fully ready and vigilant after Israel's attack on Qatar", "Turkey warned Israel's expanding strikes could destabilize the region, while Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan was preparing to attend the Doha summit." Turkish officials said that Turkey is worried that Israel may expand the scope of attacks to Iran, Syria, Yemen and now Qatar.
Turkish analysts pointed out that due to Turkey's NATO membership and growing military capabilities, a direct Israeli strike is unlikely, but Turkey still has concerns about potential secret Israeli military operations. Turkish experts warned that the hot spots of conflict in Syria may lead Turkey and Israel to confrontation. On September 16, local time, Turkish Defense Ministry spokesman Major General Zeki Ekturk warned the Israeli authorities that "Israel may As in Qatar, expand its unbridled attacks and drag the entire region into disaster."
On September 15, the Israeli side argued that the Israeli authorities were preparing to attack Turkey. If Israel really bombed Turkey, it would not be surprising to see if attacking Turkey could trigger NATO’s fifth article, which is a common defense mechanism. They feared that NATO would soon declare that “North Atlantic Treaty’s fifth article of collective defense is not entirely applicable to the special dispute between Turkey and the two countries.” Fighting these U.S. subjects is conducive to dismantling the U.S. Middle East strategy; in fact, it is also indirectly conducive to our formation of a more systematic and decisive Middle East strategy. The Middle East needs a comprehensive war, and Palestine can be liberated. But if Israel bombs Turkey
These tactical ballistic missiles have a range of 300-500 kilometers. Turkish Air Force F-16 fighter jets and S-400 long-range air defense missiles can cover the launch of tactical ballistic missiles, including over Syria and the Mediterranean Sea. This launch condition is much stronger than Iran's. The contradiction between Israel and Turkey is iradjustable, and there is a possibility that there will be a misfire at any time, or a fight will break out. In the past, the B-611M tactical ballistic missile was used against Kurdish armed forces and the Syrian battlefield. Obviously, Turkey has made the B-611 ballistic missile its own strategic weapon!
Turkish President Erdogan said earlier that Turkey is developing 2,000-kilometer-range missiles, before Turkey tested 750-kilometer-1000-kilometer-range ballistic missiles, and Turkey is also developing thousands-kilometer-range cruise missiles, which can be used with ballistic missiles, Guard-2 long-range rockets, air cruise missiles and other long-range combat weapons, in cooperation with the Turkish army to further enhance Turkish long-range combat capabilities. Clearly, if these missiles serve, will greatly increase Turkey's long-range combat capabilities to Israel.
Turkey's armed drones, suicide drones, tactical ballistic missiles, air defense missiles, and even the Turkish Air Force, the Turkish Navy, the quality of fear is much higher than Iran's quality, whether or not Israel's attempt to attack the countries of the Middle East, there is always a country, which is unable to be borne by the Israeli state. Turkish F-16 fighter jets, even cavalry-armed drones, can carry cruise missiles, air-launched ballistic missiles, in the face of Israel's density of air defense, the defense rate will be high. If fighting, the scale is large, Turkey can get the military arc of resistance of NATO, Arab countries, Iran's leadership, the three major forces to support Israel at the time, can not be a real
