Indeed one should split hairs in order to learn the depth of Turkey’s goals, led clandestinely by UK, what strategy it has taken in its appeasement encounter with the U.S. Has this strategy been formed because of the U.S. performance in the region or inefficient doctrine of pressure from the above and deal?

That today Americans put pressure on Turkey in order not to buy Russian S-400 defense system and in return, Turkey resists stubbornly, shows that from one aspect, U.S. President Trump expects money of the U.S. old ally does not flow into Russia’s pocket and secondly, Trump believes expansion of Russian weapons in the West Asia is against its arms strategy. But during the shooting down of the U.S. Global Hawk drone by Iranians, there was no sign of Russian S-400 anti-aircraft missile and if there was, it would not be able to shoot down the Global Hawk.

And today it is not a boast that we recommend Turkey to buy Iran’s Bavar 373 and Khordad 3 anti-aircraft missiles instead of Russian S-400s because they have turned the masterpiece of the West into a fist of scrap iron, and in this issue we follow the U.S. to recommend  Turkey not to buy S-400. On July 3, 1988, in other words, over 30 years ago, USS Vincennes, an American guided missile cruiser, led by Captain William C. Rogers shot down Iran Air Flight 655 on way to Dubai over waters of Persian Gulf and killed all 290 passengers on board, 62 children among the victims.

Captain Rogers delivered a speech almost three months later after the shoot-down in San Diego, California, and he was awarded and later promoted for shooting down a passenger plane. Now on the eve of the 31^st anniversary of the U.S. horrible crime, one of their sophisticated drones called Global Hawk was sent for a reconnaissance mission for a probable attack on Iran. This time there was no USS Vincennes,  and this time it was Iran’s defensive system which shot down the Global Hawk drone by firing Khordad 3 missiles and U.S. warships of Vincennes and Lincoln were just onlookers of Iran’s surprise attack and they did not dare to repeat firing at innocent people. The U.S. officials held an emergency meeting in the White House upon the request of Pentagon over the incident. They decided to attack on Iran and they chose four points in Iran to be targetted. They decided to start operation against Iran at 3 a.m. with support of bombers and Tom Hawk Defense System from Qatar, Bahrain and the UAE bases. It was estimated that about 1500 Iranians would be killed during the attacks at Iran’s radar and defense system sites. But intelligence sources informed Pentagon that some unknown radars have locked on the warships and they could be destroyed in seconds. After triggering the first bullet by the U.S. and Pentagon, the first thing could happen was that 150 planes of the U.S. in two warships and three U.S. bases could be destroyed and about 6,000 Americans could be killed.

At the same time Americans learned that Hezbullah, Jaysh al-Watani and Quds forces are prepping for an imminent attack on Israel. But attack on Haifa and destruction of ammoniac reservoirs was more significant news than destroying warships and destroying Tel Aviv which could be decisive for the fate of the war. The next warning to the CENTCOM was that two unknown flying objects had been seen around Dimonam of  Israel  which disappeared but after one hour it carried out locking the radar of Iron Dome’s defensive system. All developments and information sent to Pentagon by the CENTCOM and CIA and they indicated that Iran is fully ready for an endless war and giving crushing response, and with firing the first missile, Israel will be annihilated and five U.S. bases in the region would be destroyed. At this point, and at 2:50 a.m. Trump hurriedly ordered the CENTCOM to stop attack.

Turkey clearly saw that the IRGC could console the tragedy of Airbus Flight 655 to some extent. The U.S. advanced drones are captive in Iran’s defensive network in over 3500 places and no flying object can pass this web network safely and actually it acts much more better than the S-400 defense system.

American newspapers underlined that the Global Hawk drone was shot down exactly where Iranian Airbus had been shot down almost 31 years ago. Tiny Persian Gulf states also found out that they should not buy S-400 missiles and they had better to support deal with Iran for replacing Iron Dome with Bavar 373 and Khordad 3 missiles.
