Turkey has dispatched F-16 fighter jets and attack helicopters to Somalia to enhance efforts against the militant group Al-Shabaab and safeguard its growing interests in the region. According to Jin10, informed sources revealed that Ankara has already stationed a limited number of fighter jets in Somalia. In recent months, Turkey has collaborated with the United States to combat Al-Shabaab, with U.S. targets in Somalia also including Islamic State militants. This week, the Somali cabinet replaced the army chief in a bid to revitalize the fight against militants.
Turkey has been deploying helicopters and combat drones in Somalia for several years and began training Somali soldiers in Mogadishu in 2017. Over the past decade, Ankara has significantly expanded its influence in Somalia through defense, energy, and infrastructure projects. Turkey has also announced plans to commence oil drilling off the Somali coast soon.#Turkey #F16 #Helicopters #Somalia #AlShabaab #Militants #Defense #Energy #Infrastructure #US #IslamicState #OilDrilling

🚀 Tensions Rise as Hormuz Strait Closure Continues Amid Iranian Conflict

The Long View, institutional investor, posted on X. The ongoing closure of the Strait of Hormuz remains uncertain as tensions escalate between Iran and other nations. The situation is influenced by recent events involving the new Ayatollah, whose family members, including his father, wife, daughter, and grandchildren, were killed in recent attacks.
The Ayatollah's father was known for his famous quote, 'Be at peace with those who are at peace with you, and at war with those who are at war with you.' This philosophy appears to resonate with the current Ayatollah, who is believed to share his father's views.
The Ayatollah's perceived mission is to help establish a new Islamic state, which he believes will lead to the return of the messianic 12th Imam, a figure associated with the final judgment in Islamic eschatology. This belief may influence the duration of the Hormuz Strait's closure as Iran continues its conflict.#HormuzStrait #IranConflict #Ayatollah #IslamicState #MiddleEastTensions #Geopolitics #Eschatology #MessianicBeliefs #StraitClosure #InternationalRelations
