As tensions rise in the Middle East, the ceasefire rhetoric dominating public discourse seems unlikely to build lasting peace on the ground. These drafts, which fail to fully bring the main parties to the table and do not include all actors in the region, are opening the door to new conflicts. At the beginning of the article, GZT Editor-in-Chief Doğukan Gezer asks the questions, and Topkapı University Faculty Member, Retired Rear Admiral Prof. Dr. Cihat Yaycı, analyzes the developments on the ground and makes critical predictions.
The US is pursuing a strategy of cornering Iran not through a total invasion, but by weakening it economically, militarily, and strategically. In this context, potential operations targeting critical points such as the Strait of Hormuz and Hark Island, which are vital for global energy shipments, stand as the strongest scenarios that would fundamentally alter the balance of power in the region. The transformation of the crisis from a purely regional conflict into an international intervention will be the most decisive factor in the coming period. The fact that recent NATO statements explicitly target Iran's nuclear capabilities and freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz proves the seriousness of the West's operational plans for the region. This massive geopolitical chess game has extremely critical consequences for Türkiye, posing direct security risks. As the only NATO member bordering Iran, Türkiye is likely to face diplomatic pressure regarding intelligence sharing, logistical support, and the use of bases as the crisis deepens. It is clear that Türkiye has entered a period of historic vigilance against both the new terror corridors that are being attempted to be formed on its eastern and southern borders and the impositions within the alliance.
