Advisor to Iranian leader Ali Khamenei, Ali Akbar Laiti, said that Türkiye has become the target of provocations organized by the United States and Israel.
According to him, Tehran did not expect that Ankara would fall into the trap prepared for it by these countries.
Let us recall that the former commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) of Iran, mohsen rezaei, made harsh statements directed against Israel. In an interview with Al Jazeera, he said that Tehran’s next retaliatory measures will be effective and will deal a significant blow to Israeli interests.
Rezaei described the recent attacks on Aleppo in Syria as a blunder committed by the United States and Israel. According to him, these actions are an attempt to expand the conflict, spreading it to Lebanon, Gaza and Syria. He argues that such steps are aimed at destabilizing the region and weakening resistance forces.
Though, as Rezaei emphasized, such tactics will not achieve their goal. On the contrary, they will only strengthen the resolve of resistance supporters who intend to continue the fight. He expressed confidence that Iran’s strategic response will be successful, despite all external provocations and interference.

Interview with Dr. Amina Hosseini, Middle East Affairs Expert
Time.news Editor: Thank you for joining us today, Dr. Hosseini. We’ve recently come across statements from Ali Akbar Laiti, an advisor to Iranian leader Ali Khamenei, claiming that Türkiye has become a target for provocations orchestrated by the United States and Israel. What do you make of this assertion?
Dr. Amina hosseini: Thank you for having me. Laiti’s comments reflect the increasing tensions in the region, particularly between iran, Türkiye, and western powers.This narrative suggests that Iran perceives Türkiye as an unwitting participant in a geopolitical game that aims to destabilize its interests. It’s essential to understand that such statements are not isolated; they represent a pattern of behavior where regional players are caught in the crossfire of broader international strategies.
Time.news Editor: In light of recent comments made by former IRGC commander Mohsen Rezaei regarding retaliatory measures against Israel,how should we interpret Iran’s military posture in the region?
Dr. Amina Hosseini: Rezaei’s statements signal a clear intent from iran to respond to perceived aggressions from Israel and the US. His mention of effective retaliatory measures indicates a readiness to escalate military responses,which could further entrench the ongoing conflicts in Lebanon,Gaza,and Syria. It’s also crucial to highlight that these threats often serve as both a deterrent and a rallying cry for support within Iran and allied groups in the region.
Time.news Editor: You mentioned the potential for escalation. What implications do these military postures have for regional stability and international relations?
Dr. Amina Hosseini: The escalating rhetoric and military posturing are likely to destabilize an already volatile region. The logic of retaliation could lead to a cycle of violence that affects civilian populations and could draw in outside powers. For international relations,it puts pressure on diplomatic efforts to contain the conflict. Western powers, particularly the US, need to navigate carefully to prevent further escalation while balancing their support for allies like Israel.
Time.news Editor: Rezaei claims that current tactics by the US and Israel will only strengthen the resolve of resistance forces. How do you assess the resilience of these resistance groups?
Dr. Amina Hosseini: Resistance groups have demonstrated a remarkable ability to mobilize support and adapt to changing circumstances. Rezaei’s assertion that external provocations will only bolster support is rooted in ancient precedent. Each perceived injustice tends to rally local populations and militia groups, reinforcing their narratives. Though, the effectiveness of this support in achieving strategic goals remains a subject of debate.
Time.news Editor: Lastly, could you provide some insights or practical advice for readers who are monitoring these developments? How can they stay informed amidst the complexity of Middle Eastern geopolitics?
Dr. Amina Hosseini: Staying informed requires a multi-faceted approach.Readers should follow reputable news sources that provide in-depth analysis, rather than just headlines. Engaging with expert commentary and academic work can give deeper insights into the motivations and consequences of regional dynamics. Additionally, being aware of the historical context of these tensions can definitely help demystify the actions and statements made by key figures like Rezaei and Laiti. Ultimately, understanding the interplay between regional actors and their international backers is crucial for grasping the ongoing developments.
Time.news Editor: Thank you, Dr. Hosseini, for your valuable insights and expertise. It’s imperative to continue discussing these complex issues to understand their full implications on regional and global scales.
Dr.Amina Hosseini: Thank you for having me. It’s vital to keep these conversations ongoing to foster a deeper understanding of the challenges we face in the Middle East.
