The conflict in the Middle East is internationalizing in an unprecedented manner, with Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan delivering a terrifying ultimatum to Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu, warning that any involvement of the Kurds in the Middle East war will mean Ankara's automatic entry alongside Iranian forces, as reported by Israeli outlet Kan on July 20. Specifically, Ankara stated that if armed Kurdish separatist organizations attempt to attack Iranian territory, Turkey will immediately provide air support to Tehran. Consequently, the warning of a potential attack against Western-backed Kurdish forces could mark a turning point in the Middle East balance of power. Donald Trump is now called upon to carefully weigh which forces he will mobilize and enlist against Iran. Meanwhile, the Iranians, aware of American plans for an attack via Kurdish rebels, continue to launch preemptive drone strikes targeting Kurdish positions in Iraq, including Erbil...
Kan bombshell: Turkey gave ultimatum to Trump - preparing to enter the war
Israel's state broadcaster Kan, citing senior officials, reported that Turkey warned Israel and the United States about potential military support for Iran. According to the source, Ankara stated that if armed Kurdish separatist organizations attempt to attack Iranian territory, Turkey will immediately provide air support to Tehran. This statement comes amid ongoing escalation in the Middle East, where the US and Iran have been exchanging strikes for several days. In this context, any announcement regarding a potential escalation of the conflict is received with extreme sensitivity.
Kurdish involvement in the war alongside the US and Israelis a turning point
Turkey, a NATO member, is formally an ally of Washington. However, its relations with the US and Israel remain strained. The warning of a potential strike against Western-backed Kurdish forces could prove to be a turning point in the balance of power in the Middle East. There is no official confirmation from Ankara as yet. If the reports are confirmed, it will mean that Turkey is ready for direct confrontation with Kurdish forces operating with the support of US and Israeli structures.
Mossad's plan for a coup in Iran with the Kurds and... Ahmadinejad - Thrown into turmoil by Erdogan's intervention
Meanwhile, shocking revelations came to light a month ago regarding Mossad's dark plan, according to which the Israelis would execute a coup in Iran with Kurdish assistance, establishing a new government in Tehran under former president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Indeed, the plan was seriously considered by the Americans, but was averted following a veto placed by Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan through his direct intervention with Donald Trump.

"There was a sequence of special operations for Iran that were supposed to happen, starting with the the centerpiece of all the 'invasion by Kurds' and moving on to Ahmedinejad, who was a part of that sequence,… pic.twitter.com/EwqS9rjO6H
Specifically, these serious allegations regarding behind-the-scenes operations against Iran were reportedly made by former Israeli intelligence head Tamir Hayman. According to what he reportedly stated, a sequence of special operations focused on Iran had been designed, starting with what he described as the "central element" of the plan—an "invasion by Kurds"—followed by further actions that included former Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
Erdogan's hasty move toward Trump to prevent Mossad's plan
Hayman claimed that the plan was ultimately not implemented because Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan exerted pressure on US President Donald Trump, arguing that supporting Kurdish forces would be a strategically flawed choice. If these statements are confirmed, they highlight the role Ankara allegedly played in preventing plans that could lead to broader regional destabilization and further escalation with Tehran. To date, there is no official confirmation of these claims from the governments of the US, Israel, or Turkey.
"Creating a Kurdish state is a disastrous mistake, you are setting the entire Middle East on fire"
However, Tamir Hayman shared that just as the plan was ready for full execution, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan contacted US President Donald Trump directly, securing the plan's cancellation and derailing the process. "This operation, which would have been executed through the Iranian branch of the PKK, the PJAK, and its affiliated militias, was actually going to be the central component of this entire strategic phase. However, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who views these militia forces as a very serious threat to Turkey's national stability, intervened in the process by directly convincing Donald Trump. Recep Tayyip Erdogan clearly explained to Donald Trump that creating a state or territory for PKK/PJAK allies in the region was a very bad idea and that US support for these ethnic militia groups was completely contrary to Turkey's vital interests. I believe Recep Tayyip Erdogan's powers of persuasion were directly decisive in Donald Trump's decision to completely cancel this operation. As a result, Donald Trump permanently canceled this plan that would have set the region on fire."
"Israel did not expect the attack on Iran"
Tamir Hayman, refuting claims frequently made in the public sphere that "Israel convinced Donald Trump to attack Iran," stated that the process actually began with a sudden, impulsive decision by Donald Trump. Tamir Hayman also claimed that Donald Trump acted based on a "sense of success" stemming from the US intervention against Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, making the following assessments: "The situation in Venezuela led Donald Trump to post on social media saying 'help is on the way' to anti-regime protesters. This came as a huge surprise to the Israelis. When Donald Trump said 'help is on the way' and then suddenly appeared in early January saying he would strike Iran, Israel was caught off guard because at that time we had no military attack plans. Following Donald Trump's statement, Israel's military planning and US motivation merged, leading to the military mobilization of February 28th."
Fidan's warning message to Rubio: "Don't even think about it"
In recent months, diplomatic sources speaking to the New York Times claimed that Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan had conveyed a direct message to his American counterpart, Marco Rubio. According to these allegations, Minister Hakan Fidan also strongly warned Washington not to support any ground attack on Iran by the PJAK, an offshoot of the PKK terrorist organization, and other ethnic militia groups.
After the wreckage... Trump threatened the Kurds with strikes
It is noted that months ago, Donald Trump claimed that the United States attempted to supply weapons to Iranian protesters during mass demonstrations in Iran in December 2025 and January 2026. He maintained that shipments were sent via Kurdish groups in Iraqi Kurdistan, but the weaponry never reached its final recipients. In a telephone interview with a Fox News correspondent, Donald Trump stated: "We sent them a lot of weapons. We sent them through the Kurds. And I think the Kurds kept them for themselves. We sent weapons to the protesters." This revelation from the US President is "astonishing" in every respect. 
First, it confirms direct interference in the internal affairs of a sovereign state, even an attempt to support an armed rebellion. Second, it invalidates all Western criticism against Tehran regarding the harsh crackdowns on protesters, as Iranian intelligence services had discovered that demonstrators were being armed from abroad.
Third, Donald Trump essentially justifies Iranian strikes on bases in Iraqi Kurdistan through which weapons were supposed to flow into the Islamic Republic. Furthermore, as the US president continued to lay his cards on the table, he expressed dissatisfaction that the cargo allegedly remained in the Sulaymaniyah region of Kurdistan, near the Iran-Iraq border. Subsequently, Trump issued threats against the Iraqi Kurds: "I am very upset. Those who withheld the weapons will pay a heavy price." According to the White House strongman, the operation's goal was to help Iranians resist the regime amid the brutal suppression of protests. Donald Trump's statements come amid the recent escalation of tension between the US, Israel, and Iran. Tehran is already using the American president's words as proof that the protests in the country were incited and supported from abroad.
