But, says France 24’s Philip Turle, the castle’s capture is largely symbolic, with little strategic importance, while it remains unclear if Israel is currently winning its battle with Hezbollah.

How ‘strategic ambiguity’ made Turkey a winner in the Iran war

Since the Iran war began in late February, Turkey has positioned itself as a key regional power, an economic bridge and a neutral mediator, condemning both the US-Israeli strikes on Iran and Iran’s retaliatory attacks on Gulf nations. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan reiterated his country’s support for peace talks in separate phone calls with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif last week. The week before, in a call with US President Donald...
