Türkiye conducted airstrikes in Syria and Iraq following a PKK-YPG-linked terrorist attack in Ankara. Foreign Minister Fidan's statement and a defense meeting photo emphasize Türkiye's commitment to counterterrorism. Tensions with the U.S. arose after a U.S. jet downed a Turkish drone, highlighting the need for coordination. Türkiye remains determined to fight PKK/YPG, despite U.S. policy challenges. Domestic politics, especially ahead of elections, influence Türkiye's military authorization decisions.
