Iran, Turkey & Saudi Arabia closer than ever as Israel watches nervously?

Iran is making a concerted effort to strengthen ties with Türkiye during Ankara’s Republic Day celebrations. On Tuesday, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi extended greetings to his Turkish counterpart Hakan Fidan, expressing optimism about expanding cooperation between the two neighboring nations, according to Iran’s official IRNA news agency. These moves come amid a significant realignment in Middle Eastern geopolitics, with Saudi Arabia gradually moving away from normalization with Israel while deepening engagement with former rivals Iran and Türkiye.
