DEBKAfile Exclusive: Iranian delegation visits Ankara
2007-09-30
Debka, salt etc...
A high-ranking Iranian air force and intelligence delegation, led by a general, is reported by DEBKAfileÂ’s intelligence sources to have landed secretly in the Turkish capital a few days ago. The visitors said TurkeyÂ’s government and army should be warned that Iran would not stand by again in the event of another strike against Syria, whether by Israel or the US, or both. Next time, Iran would step in, he said, without specifying in what form.

The message was taken to mean that even if Syria decided against reprisal, Iran would act instead.

According to our military sources, the Iranian delegation returned to Tehran empty-handed.

#2  I don't think the Iranians would get away speaking to the Turkish Military like that but rather to their politicians. In Turkey, though, the military is pretty independent and very secular. If the Islamist in government go a little wobbly, the military will definitely straighten them and the Iranians out. Only the PKK can bring them together.

#1  Threatening Turks always works. The Iranians are lucky the Turks didn't send their heads home first.
