Turkey may give Saudi Yemen operation ‘logistical’ support: Erdogan

Summary

Turkey could provide “logistical” support for Saudi Arabia’s operation against Iran-allied Huthi rebels in Yemen, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Thursday, slamming Tehran’s involvement in the region.

Warplanes from a Saudi-led Arab coalition bombed the Huthi Shiite rebels on Thursday, in an operation slammed by Shiite Iran as a military aggression.

The Turkish leader indicated suspicion of Iran’s role in the region, saying its involvement in the campaign against Islamic State (IS) rebels in Iraq was aimed at replacing them.

Turkey has sometimes been accused of providing tacit and even more concrete support to IS, claims it vehemently denies.

  1. And if two parties of believers fight against each other, make peace between them; then if after that one of them transgresses against the other, fight the party that transgresses until it returns to the command of Allah. Then if it returns, make peace between them with equity, and act justly. Verily, Allah loves the just.
