Panorama of standoff including all actors, Ankara as implicit pivot

ANALYSIS
Ankara envelops the IRGC threat in a broader topic: Pete Hegseth declaring that the 'most decisive days' of the war are approaching. Turkey, a NATO member but Iran's neighbor, juggling Atlantic obligations and regional caution. The Daily Sabah condemns neither Iran nor the US—it reports both with calculated equidistance that is the hallmark of Erdogan's Turkish diplomacy. The IRGC threat is treated as fact, not scandal. Ankara learned long ago not to startle anyone.
KEY POINTS
- Hegseth announces 'decisive days' and warns war will intensify if Iran doesn't negotiate
- Syria's al-Sharaa declares neutrality at Chatham House except if directly attacked
- American journalist kidnapped in Baghdad by group linked to Kataib Hezbollah
