Türkiye (that is the new spelling) is all in on the side of Ukraine in its war with Russia and that causes far more damage to Iran than any benefit Iran gets from some business with its neighbor. The drones that Türkiye supplies to Ukraine have caused costly damage to Russia and that drains resources that Russia could be sending to Iran. Russia has funded Iran to the tune of over sixty billion in oil and gas deals in the past two years and only Ukraine is preventing even more such deals. It helps of course that the drone factory is owned by Erdogan’s son in law. That does prove that not all corrupt Presidential sons in law are incompetent grifters. And Türkiye has agreed to let Finland and Sweden into NATO, a catastrophic defeat for Putin and his Iranian buddies. I never thought that I would live to see it.
That said, the overwhelming evidence is that Iran did NOT instigate the October 7th attacks. Because of the attacks, seven billion dollars in oil revenues remain embargoed. Hamas is funded by Iran but is not a direct proxy like Hezbollah or the Houthis.
