Senior Israeli officials told Kan News that Turkey has threatened to provide aerial assistance to Iran if Kurdish forces invade Iran as part of an alleged Mossad-led ground operation to overthrow the regime. The officials reportedly said this is what President Trump was referring to when he claimed Turkey was on the verge of becoming involved in the fighting.
The report, first carried by Kan News, cites senior Israeli officials who describe a Turkish threat to provide air support to Iran in the event of a Kurdish ground invasion linked to a Mossad operation. According to the officials, this threat is what U.S. President Donald Trump referenced when he said Turkey was on the verge of entering the war.
The claim has not been independently confirmed. Trump has previously stated that he personally urged Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to stay out of the conflict. The Zioneer has reported on weeks of escalating rhetoric from Ankara, including Erdogan’s warning of a possible military confrontation with Israel and Turkish efforts to block Kurdish plans in the region.
The alleged Mossad operation — a ground campaign to overthrow the Iranian regime — has not been officially acknowledged by Israel, and the details remain unverified.
