Information from official sources regarding the issue, which has a wide repercussion on Türkiye's agenda, has become clear. According to the statements made; After the temporary breathing period provided by the Islamabad Agreement in the Middle East, tensions escalated again on the US-Iran line. This new process, which started with mutual moves in the Strait of Hormuz, is turning into a systemic crisis that threatens global security. Donald Trump's threats targeting Iran's civilian infrastructure reveal not only the defeat of an army, but also a new military strategy that aims to completely collapse the state mechanism through "systemic paralysis". Academician Oral Toğa from the Center for Iranian Studies (İRAM) talked to Hürriyet about the reasons for the collapse of the fragile ceasefire, the new US concept of destruction embodied by Trump's threats, the humanitarian disaster that will be caused by the loss of civilian infrastructure, and how asymmetric threats that may spread to Babel Mandeb through the Houthis can change the global balances. Legal investigations and investigations by the competent authorities on the subject continue to deepen. We will continue to report new developments as they occur.
Information from official sources regarding the issue, which has a wide repercussion on Türkiye's agenda, has become clear. According to the statements made; The Islamabad Consensus was not a solution, it was already a "fatigue" agreement. Its most important feature was not that it solved the problems, but that it froze them. The 14-article text reached on June 14 stopped the conflicts and opened a 60-day negotiation window for the final agreement, but postponed all fundamental disagreements. The future of the nuclear program, regional proxy networks, the fate of sanctions and the most critical issue, the management of Hormuz, were not provided with a binding road map. While Washington wanted the strait to be opened unconditionally and free of charge, Tehran insisted on recognition of its decisive position in the security of the strait. The US Treasury canceled the oil sales license granted to Iran within the scope of the agreement, and Tehran deemed this a violation. Likewise, Iran found the passages made by Oman contrary to the agreement, as it said that ships could not pass through the Bosphorus outside the line it determined. Finally, the attacks took place. The Iranians opened fire on commercial ships in the Bosphorus on the grounds of "unauthorized route", and Washington restarted the attacks on July 8, citing this as justification. In summary, the agreement was not a balance binding the two sides, but an interim period that both sides used to breathe. Legal investigations and investigations by the competent authorities on the subject continue to deepen. We will continue to report new developments as they occur.
Information from official sources regarding the issue, which has a wide repercussion on Türkiye's agenda, has become clear. According to the statements made; The picture becomes clear when the attacks are read in functional layers rather than chronologically. Since the beginning of the war, leadership cadres, conventional military capacity, defense industry and heavy industry, energy and export infrastructure, transportation network and communications infrastructure have been systematically targeted. The navy has been virtually destroyed, missile firing capacity has been announced to have fallen by ninety percent, most of the petrochemical export capacity is disabled, bridges and railways are being hit. Each strike can be explained by military reasons alone, but the total effect is not the defeat of an army, but the dismantling of a state structure. The aim of this approach, which is called systemic paralysis in the military literature, is not to break the enemy's will to fight, but to eliminate his ability to manage himself. In this context, Trump's targeting of civilian infrastructure is not a harbinger of a new escalation, but an announcement of the last layer of the ongoing process. Iran's response to this will be to spread the war asymmetrically across the region. Apart from Hormuz, we can see developments in Bab al-Mandab, Iraq and the Gulf countries. Legal investigations and investigations by the competent authorities on the subject continue to deepen. We will continue to report new developments as they occur.
According to the latest information about hot developments, a new phase has been entered in the event that is closely followed by the public. According to the details given; A situation that amounts to a humanitarian crisis arises. The picture that emerges goes beyond the term "military damage". The collapse of electricity generation cuts off every aspect of daily life, from intensive care units in hospitals to water pumps, from the cold chain to the banking system. Shooting oil wells collapses the domestic fuel cycle before export revenue; The flow of raw materials to refineries stops, irrigation and harvesting in agriculture are disrupted, and food supply is directly affected within a few months. Even if seawater desalination plants are not directly hit, millions of people on the southern coast will be cut off from access to clean water because they cannot operate without electricity. On the political level, the state's inability to provide the most basic services erodes the social contract, and the black market, local power centers and non-state structures begin to fill the gap. Local structures, tribes and organizations can benefit from this state of "statelessness" and gain space. Because sanctions structurally hinder reconstruction, this damage is not eliminated by a ceasefire, but turns into a permanent low capacity trap that spans decades. While the investigation process carried out by the official authorities regarding the incident continues, you can instantly follow the most up-to-date information on our website.
Information from official sources regarding the issue, which has a wide repercussion on Türkiye's agenda, has become clear. According to the statements made; The Houthis do not have the power to physically close the strait, but they do not need to. They reduced Suez traffic by half by targeting more than a hundred ships with missiles, UAVs and unmanned marine vehicles in the 2023-2025 period. Continuity, not intensity, is sufficient to close the throat. This means even a single hit a week keeps the insurance market off course. If they succeed, approximately one quarter of the world's oil and natural gas supply will be cut off along with Hormuz. What is more critical is that, when Hormuz is closed, the main alternative outlet for Gulf oil to Asia passes through Bab al-Mandab via the Yanbu port, and the closure of the strait also disables this safety valve. Oil prices enter an uncontrolled spiral, Egypt is directly affected by the collapse of Suez revenues, and the USA is forced to a second front in Yemen, as Trump's exit strategy based on opening the straits will be invalid. If we see this scenario, it is possible to see some actors within NATO, such as France and England, in conflict. While the USA is dealing with Iran and Hormuz, these actors may also march on Yemen.
