TURKEY PERSPECTIVE
IRAN-STRAIT OF HORMUZ: TEHRAN PLAYS MOSCOW CARD WHILE TRUMP AWAITS A PHONE CALL

Ankara observes, diplomatically well-positioned to benefit from resolution
Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media
ANALYSIS
Daily Sabah covers the diplomatic crisis by emphasizing growing disillusionment with American and Israeli positions on the Iran war. The Turkish paper presents Turkey as a potentially well-positioned actor for mediation: NATO member, recognized interlocutor with Tehran, confirmed host of the Alliance's next summit. The Iranian proposal for Hormuz opening is analyzed as an opening Turkey could facilitate. Istanbul is moreover one of the commercial hubs suffering most directly from maritime transit disruptions in the eastern Mediterranean linked to Gulf closure.
