I think he wants a continuation of
of the war on both fronts.
And so this would be bad for him politically.
And thus, that's why he's lobbying here in Washington.
But as to the Turkish relationship, yes, it's probably one of the most underexplored, if not the most underexplored relationship in geopolitics.
Trump and Erdogan quietly have gotten on for some time since the first term, as I think you allude to.
And the Turks have been very, very careful players throughout all of this.
There's no love lost between Turkey
and Iran.
And Turkey repeatedly, both on and off the record, will assail the Iranians for use of proxies in the region.
But what they don't want, what they don't want is a all-out U.S.-Israeli regime change war in the region.
Number one, they don't want to deal with the flow of refugees.
There's been tons of refugees that Turkey has handled from the Syria war.
But number two, they know that they'll be next on the hit list for Israel if Israelis are able to convince the Americans to get involved.
Frankly, I have heard when Netanyahu comes to Washington, half the time he talks about Turkey as much as he talks about Iran.
No, I think you're quite right to pick up on this business element as the potential actual wedge between the U.S.
and the Israelis at this point.
The fact is, war will be bad for the kind of business, the sort of investment in building infrastructure in the region that both the administration wants to get involved in and also Trump's own family.
These investments in the Gulf
won't be worth anything if they're basically target practice for Iranian missiles.
