Senior Iranian Regime Officials Claim Victory For The Iran-Led Resistance Axis, Saying The Palestinian Resistance Forced The Zionist Regime To Accept Ceasefire; Iran’s Apologetic Explanation For The High Price Paid By Its Proxies: The Resistance Axis Was Merely Preemptively Defending Itself Against An Imminent Attack By Israel And The West

Introduction

After the Israel-Hamas ceasefire went into effect January 19, 2025, senior Iranian regime officials, headed by Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, praised the resistance of the Palestinian people for, as they depicted it, forcing Israel to submit to its demands and accept the ceasefire.

FAQ: Is Turkey the Next Nuclear Proliferant State?

Q. Has Turkey taken any steps to acquire nuclear weapons?

Ankara appears to be taking quiet but deliberate steps toward producing enriched uranium fuel, which has dual purposes in fueling nuclear reactors and nuclear weapons. In October 2024, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan and National Intelligence Chief Ibrahim Kalin visited Niger, securing a provisional mining agreement with the country’s junta government. The most plausible explanation for this deal is Turkey’s intent to secure access to uranium, potentially laying the groundwork for developing the fuel cycle to produce enriched uranium.

However, if Israel strikes Iran’s nuclear capabilities, the Islamic republic regime will be weakened but will not collapse and will resume its subversive activities in the region and in the world.

Turkey’s soft power strategies and Islamophobia

Although the Turkish state’s interest in Turkish migrants and children born in foreign countries is a new thing, a noticeable approach has emerged since the late 2000s and the early 2010s. This new phase, which was qualified by the systematization of rapid institutionalization and soft power strategies, foresees the creation of new state institutions; open interest in mobilizing youth; the expiation of international influence in the educational, cultural and religious fields of various state and civil society actors; and finally (not the last one), a wider approach of diaspora framed with religious unity.
