Turkey is battling deadly wildfires across multiple provinces, with two fatalities confirmed and over 200 homes destroyed. The blazes, burning for seven straight days, have taken a sinister turn after a group calling itself âChildren of Fireâ claimed responsibility for coordinated arson attacks in six cities. The group, allegedly linked to the banned Kurdish militant organization PKK, says it started the fires as part of a political campaign.
The PKK has not commented on the claim. Firefighting operations continue near major cities like Izmir, Antalya, and Istanbul, with support from helicopters and aircraft. Roads near popular resort town ĂeĆme have been closed, and hundreds have been evacuated. As emergency services struggle to contain the flames, Turkey now faces a national security scare amid environmental devastation. The interior ministry has launched investigations into the arson claims while warning that further attacks may be imminent as the dry summer season continues.

Iran has issued a sharp âfinalâ warning to block a U.S.-backed trade corridor through southern Armenia, part of a peace declaration between Armenia and Azerbaijan announced by Donald Trump. The route would give Azerbaijan direct access to Nakhchivan and Turkey, boosting regional trade while granting the U.S. exclusive development rights. Tehran has flexed military muscle to signal opposition, calling the plan a âgraveyard for Trumpâs mercenaries.â While analysts doubt Iranâs ability to militarily stop the corridor, tensions are rising across the Caucasus.

Turkeyâs Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan has issued a chilling warning to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over his Gaza City occupation plan, accusing him of genocide and expansionism. Fidan declared Netanyahu would âdrown in the blood of people he condemned to starvationâ and vowed his âtyranny will be erased from history.â Ankara condemned the plan as a war crime, urged a ceasefire, and called on the UN to act. With over 61,200 dead, Gaza faces famine and escalating international legal action.

Apocalyptic wildfires have engulfed Turkeyâs Ăanakkale province, forcing mass evacuations and halting maritime traffic through the Dardanelles Strait. Flames tore through forest roads, consuming fire trucks and threatening ancient Troy. Villages and a care home were cleared as winds intensified, with temperatures expected to worsen. The straitâa vital global shipping routeâhas been closed in both directions. With firefighters stretched thin and conditions deteriorating, officials warn of more wildfires ahead, as Turkey grapples with one of its worst fire emergencies in years.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has openly backed Iranâs military response to Israeli airstrikes, calling Tehran's actions "legitimate and lawful." In an explosive speech, Erdogan accused Israel of "banditry and state terrorism," and likened Prime Minister Netanyahu to Adolf Hitler. He also condemned global silence over Israeli aggression, particularly in Gaza. Erdogan warned of further instability if Israelâs âinhuman attacksâ continue and pledged to protect TĂŒrkiyeâs interests. Meanwhile, Russia also denounced Israelâs campaign, while the U.S. maintained its full support for West Jerusalem and demanded Iran's âunconditional surrender.â

Turkish President Recep Tayyip ErdoÄan has condemned Israelâs strikes on Iran as a reckless provocation that violates international law and risks igniting a global catastrophe. Calling it a âstrategy of bloodshed,â ErdoÄan warned Netanyahuâs government is sabotaging diplomatic efforts over Iranâs nuclear program to sustain regional chaos. Turkeyâs foreign ministry echoed the alarm, demanding urgent global action to prevent further escalation.

Shocking live footage captured by Kurdish media outlet Rudaw and Al Jazeera shows the exact moment an Israeli airstrike hits the Syrian Army Headquarters in Damascus. Viewers watched in real-time as a reporter screamed and ran for cover, while a massive cloud of smoke engulfed the skyline.
The target appears to be the Syrian General Staff building, a critical military facility. This dramatic escalation comes amid heightened regional tensions, as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned of operations to protect Israelâs northern front â and specifically addressed the Druze population to stop crossing borders.

A U.S.-operated oil field in Iraqâs Kurdistan Region has been obliterated by a drone strike â and all signs point to Iran-backed militias. The target: HKN Energyâs Sarsang site in Duhok, now in flames and completely shut down. As smoke rises, so do fears of a wider proxy war unfolding across Iraq.
The attack, which Kurdish officials condemned as a âdeliberate act of terrorism,â comes amid a stalled oil export system and growing instability. The U.S. has issued a sharp rebuke, demanding Iraq take action. Meanwhile, Baghdad and Erbil are under pressure to respond â fast.
Is this the beginning of a new front in Iranâs shadow war with the U.S.? Or a direct message to Washington about who controls Iraqâs energy future?
