No, not in Turkish interests, Turkey wants to be able to grow without the zionist evil eye on it, frankly speaking, the Iranians keeping the zionists busy is in Turkish interests. Turkey is not undermining Iran, if anything if you follow the small little development, Turkey is one of the few Sunni countries in the region that doesn't have a hostile relationship with Iran. Hakan Fidan was in Tehran only a few days ago to discuss regional matters.

He offers them economy, trade, military support, political support, support by world financial tycoons, otherwise he's is like Baghdadi. Muslims leadership and people need to learn from this, build their economies, military to defend themselves and also form unity. So far its all a big disappointment.

Funny thing I don’t see the big economic benefit to most of these countries trade etc outside of uae currently which by now Israel has basically compromised many in that country and the tech they sell if there is not a back door to gather intel or sabotage uae in the future I would be extremely amazed.
Arab and Muslim countries as a whole are way behind turkey is catching up Pakistan is definitely a military powerhouse but definitely should build up their economy without fear of having to lean on china or America.
Saudis could be a military powerhouse but they spend 100 billion every several years on outside ware instead of investing half of that in house and building up their domestic production
But what do I know…..

From all these Turkey, Indonesia, Malaysia should be the role model, great economies, educated societies, big institutions, Turkey is like military superpower for the Muslims, Indonesia has decent military but both Malaysia Indonesia don't need big militaries, Pakistan military is top notch but sadly we lack in all other fields. GCC are ofcourse loaded since they have Oil Gas, noone can compete in those areas, Egypt is balanced but like Pakistan has too much corruption, Iran in my opinion has the potential to be at Turkey level, and economy as GCC. Unfortunately international sanctions and western/GCC lack of support to Iranian current regime is harming them. If Iran was under Shah i think they be like Turkey, with large GCC type of oil/gas wealth.
Anyways Turkey can easily counter Israel, Greece and Cyprus via Turkey North Cyprus and Syria, that is if they can maintain control, Usa Kurdish Saudia Israel are also fighting for control.

Unless turkey takes a more direct role in Syria with substantial troops to counter Israeli expansionist goals not going to happen and when I mean counter just set up a large base how Iran has done in the past not for the goal of destroying Israel but keeping it at bay Israel loves to fight a war but wars they think they will win quickly not wars that will drag out turkey is far better prepared to go to war with Israel than Iran was and to be fair neither side will go to war for fear of angering papa trump.
Honestly I know Cyprus and north Cyprus more or less cold peace but does either side want to go to war same with Greece and turkey israel is just playing these idiots to raise the heat

They will not build a base if they are unable to defend it. Turkish ally in Syria is SNA, and HTS is between Saudia Qatar and Turkey, SDF is with Usa and possibly Israeli backing, FSA is Usa backed, South Israel is trying to gain influence. I mentioned this before, Turkey should have backed Bashar Al Assad and SAA, they countered Israel and SDF, ofcourse they refused to share power with Muslim Brotherhood and allies, and also were secular so they had to go, they also didnt get on well with GCC leadership. Syria is a mess right now.

Then you're missing the whole point. It's because of Turkey's threats the last 7-8 years and Turkey's meddling in Syria and Libya that we are now in this situation. It's not about Jews playing anyone,like your Turkish friends here repeat non-stop. First they said it was the French,previously the Americans. When they act like a bully and we end up getting some kind of help from some stronger country,they rush to say "oh they are puppets,they are puppets".
What's been happening the last 5 years? Greece has been threatened by Turkey. Israelis too feel threatened by Turkey's sudden rise in the geopolitical arena. What happens when two or more countries worry about a stronger adversary? They come together to discuss solutions on how to defend from any threat.
That's what it is.
