Turkey’s decision to veto the latest U.N. Security Council resolution on Iran should be of concern for all those, like me, who desire a peaceful resolution of the international crisis over Iran’s nuclear programme.
The Turks are apparently upset that the West has not responded positively to the nuclear deal it recently negotiated with Iran, with Brazil’s assistance, whereby Tehran would ship some of its stockpile of enriched uranium to Ankara in return for fuel rods for its so-called research reactor in Tehran.
In fact this deal was nothing more than a watered-down version of the agreement Iran negotiated with the world’s leading powers in Geneva last year, and then reneged upon. Crucially, it made no provision for Iran to call a halt to the controversial uranium enrichment programme at Natanz that allows it to produce another 100 kilos of fissile material each month. (Iran now has about 2.5 tons of enriched uranium, more than enough to make an atom bomb.)
But the Iran-Turkey deal is indicative of a far more worrying trend in relations between the two countries. I now gather that Iranian officials were in close contact with the “aid” activists responsible for organising the flotilla that tried to break Israel’s blockade of Gaza.
Turkey has, of course, become an increasingly vocal supporter of Iran’s right to develop nuclear technology in recent weeks, and my fear now that, having been thwarted in its attempts to negotiate an end to the nuclear crisis, it will be tempted to help Iran beat the new sanctions regime by smuggling goods across their joint border

What I am concerned are the B-61 bombs that are inIncirlik Air Base . They are safe in the USAF’s, WS3 Weapon Storage and Security System but the USAF must consider to move them in the newar futuew.
wHAT? A moslem country siding with Iran, no it can’t be. Kick ‘em out of NATO!
I agree. Turkey has forfeited its membership in NATO.
