One wonders if the Iranians start targeting Dummkopf Trumpf's resorts and hotels in the Middle East.

The Iranians won't target the Trumpf Hotel in Istanbul or Incirlik AB in Turkiye as that might a) invoke NATO Article V; b) injure innocent Turkish airmen and civilians.

Also the Turks and Iranians cooperate with each other against separatist Kurdish groups.

Wow.

Thanks for that.

Iran and Turkiye don't have a history of antagonism against each other.

Tehran and Ankara have worked together for years against the PKK/PJAK.

Look at all these recent high-level defense and economic cooperation meetings between Turkiye and Iran.
