US says it doesn't 'want war' after the biggest military buildup at the Iranian border!

The U.S. is making the biggest military buildup of the modern era on the Iranian border, yet its official statement is: "We do not want war."

Iran is taking position according to this siege; it is saluting the Gulf with hundreds of missile-loaded vessels, yet its official statement is: "We do not want war."

Saudi Arabia is willing to have Iran attacked from afar, but its foreign minister says, "We do not want war."

If you ask me, apart from the extensions of Tehran in Iraq, Syria and Lebanon, even Israel will not want war. Their plans are working like clockwork, and the only thing that can disrupt them would be a war that gets out of control.

If so many countries, whose national security interests are conflicting, want peace, I would suggest they slowly withdraw from those regions.

Even though their acknowledgment that a "war will not break out" is realistic, even if all the "We do not want war" statements are sincere, if there is the "likelihood of a war" that will wreak havoc in the heart of the world in such a tight space, trouble will brew.

For example, if countries that have "settled" in Iraq for so long are "packing their bags" and leaving, if even the U.K. - which knows the true story - is joining the train – albeit gradually - and Ankara is strengthening its ties with Baghdad despite this, if the construction of the "fortress" in Northern Iraq - which is said will be the U.S.'s biggest consulate in the world once it is completed - is hastily continuing, and "Katyusha" rockets are fired into the "Green Zone" in the Iraqi capital, it does not matter whether they hit their target.

The jam in Idlib is one of the wings of the same bracket. The bilateral meeting of Turkey and Russia's defense ministers following the meeting of the two countries' state leaders seems to have curbed the Damascus attacks on Idlib after last week.

This situation was disturbing Turkey and it appears to have been temporarily suspended.

We know why Moscow told Damascus to "move forward," but we do not know what it did to make it "stop."

The two speculations are interesting.

Reports based on unreliable sources that Turkey's National Intelligence Organization (MİT) chief Hakan Fidan held a meeting in Tehran with Damascus leader Bashar al-Assad: should we consider the timing and the message given of this report rather than its authenticity?

There is nothing surprising in intelligence contacts. President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan made statements with respect to this as well.

However, we need to think what is trying to be said through the claims reported by Damascus that Assad personally stated, "We met with Hakan Fidan [in Tehran] and we are ready to meet with Erdoğan as well."

It does not seem true - if it is, that is a different story - but if it is a lie, there must be a trap.

The second topic is the matter of the "Hedgehogs" (Kirpi) in Libya. The videos and photographs of Turkey-made war vehicles are spreading like wildfire especially on social media.

There is no secret to whose side Turkey is on and who it is standing against in Libya. This is not solely a matter of taking sides either. It is a move to meet the Western attacks targeting the region and the "coalition" cooperating with the invaders in the Middle East as far as possible before they reach the borders.

Whether or not this aid is real, the hand reaching out to Libya will be presented to the global community by the invaders and their "solution partners" through exploitation. This will not come as a surprise either, but this will most likely cause Ankara sleepless nights.

There are three more developments that we will be carefully watching.

Saudi Arabia is going to assemble Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC)-member and Arab League-member countries in Mecca on May 30. It is going to tell them about the Iranian threat and try to form a strong Arab bloc against the war.

The second development is France working with Cyprus to expand the country's naval base,, and mostly, how this will contribute to the anti-Turkey alliance in the Mediterranean.

The third development is the S-400 and F-35s. You might ask what there is left to discuss. But there is the information that the U.S. halted the shipment of F-35 simulator equipment to Turkey, which was "unheard" even though President Erdoğan mentioned it.

"They delivered five F-35s to our generals and pilots. Our aircraft is currently in the U.S. But for example, we have simulators, et cetera, too, there. They are yet to deliver these simulators. Of course, as these apparatuses were not shipped here, we are manufacturing $7-billion-worth of parts in Turkey to send; in the meantime, we are getting these ready."

This is actually a first. Turkey had until now been stating that there was no disruption in the F-35 deal and the delivery process. This is the first time the intentional disagreement was mentioned.

The U.S. is threatening to halt the shipment concerning F-35s by using the S-400s as an excuse, but this is the first step that was taken.

This rise is going to continue until the declaration of the approach called the "Deal of the Century," which we can describe as the "Israel solution," in the Middle East. The first leg of the declaration is June 25-26. It is said its economic dimension will be revealed. It is obvious that is a sort of "purchase" step. The plan's political dimension may emerge in July. In other words, there is an adaption/"revealing" process.
