🇮🇱 Israel has issued a strong warning to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan over Ankara’s growing military involvement in Syria, amid rising tensions between Israel and Türkiye.
The warning follows Israeli airstrikes on August 18 targeting the Abu al-Duhur airbase in northwestern Syria. Israel said the strikes were aimed at preventing a potential Turkish troop deployment at the facility near Aleppo.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said Syria had been “on the verge of breaching” an agreed security status quo by allowing Turkish troops to deploy at the airbase, and warned that such a deployment would pose a threat to Israel’s security.
Netanyahu later said Israel would not tolerate a Turkish military presence extending farther south in Syria, while Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz accused Erdoğan of pushing Türkiye toward “dangerous adventures” in Syria.
🇹🇷 Türkiye has rejected Israel’s allegations as “untenable” and condemned the airstrikes, accusing Israel of using the claims to justify attacks on Syrian territory.
The escalating dispute highlights growing tensions between Israel and Türkiye over military influence and security in post-war Syria.

“What those who talk about peace in these circumstances mean is surrender,” Nabavian wrote in a post on X.
Nabavian has been one of the most outspoken Iranian parliamentary critics of negotiations and concessions to the United States. His latest remarks reflect continued opposition among Iran’s hardline political camp to any agreement they believe would require major concessions.

🇺🇸 U.S. President Donald Trump has reiterated his warning that Iran must not be allowed to obtain a nuclear weapon, saying Tehran cannot be permitted to develop such a capability.

The White House says preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon remains a central part of Trump’s policy toward Tehran.
The warning comes as tensions between Washington and Tehran remain high, with the two sides still at odds over Iran’s nuclear program and the wider conflict.
⚠️ VERIFIED: Trump’s position that Iran must not obtain a nuclear weapon is confirmed by recent White House statements and reporting.

Reports of unusual Chinese 🇨🇳 and Turkish 🇹🇷 military transport aircraft activity in Pakistan over roughly 60 hours have raised questions about possible defence equipment movements.
Chinese military transport aircraft were reportedly seen at Nur Khan Airbase near Rawalpindi and Masroor Airbase in Karachi, while Turkish military transport aircraft were also reportedly involved.
The reported activity comes shortly after Pakistan 🇵🇰, Türkiye 🇹🇷 and Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦 signed the Mecca Joint Defence Agreement on August 7, under which an armed attack on one member is to be regarded as an attack on all three.
Pakistan is also deepening defence cooperation with both China and Türkiye across areas including aerospace, drones, air defence and naval systems.
⚠️ Important: The reported aircraft movements have been cited by media and security sources, but claims that specific weapons or defence equipment were transported have not been independently confirmed.
