In the same token, it was opened a chat account under the name of Recep Tayyip Erdogan shown him as a collaborator with a "leader of an enemy state" according to the scenario (AFP, 2017). Ultimately, Turkish participants pulled out of the drill, and NATO Secretary-General immediately extended apologize to Ankara. However, it created a great deal of disappointment all over Turkey against NATO solidarity. This event, probably, would be registered in NATO history as a first scandal disquieting one of its member states.

the pre-Arab Spring period, the post-Arab Spring era, and the last: the Russo-Ukrainian war period. In the first decade of the 2000s, the emphasis on the Mediterranean Sea attracted both European countries and Türkiye. First, the
Mediterranean Sea is crucial to Eurasian countries’ global economic transportation routes. Particularly the Eastern
Mediterranean Sea has grave security importance for Türkiye. Second, recent natural gas exploration in the Eastern
Mediterranean Sea has reinforced the importance of this region. Türkiye’s geographical position, and therefore its
interwoven interests in the Middle East and North-Africa as well as in the Russo-Ukrainian war, is central in understanding its current position in NATO.

Missile defence forms part of a broader response to counter this threat.”
The intelligence community assesses that the threat from Iran’s short- and medium-range ballistic missiles is developing more rapidly than previously projected, while the threat of potential Iranian intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) capabilities has been slower to develop than previously estimated. In the near term, the greatest missile threats from Iran will be to countries in the Middle East and in Europe.
On 17 September 2009, President Obama has approved a phased, adaptive approach for missile defence in Europe. The “Phased, Adaptive Approach” for Missile Defence in Europe has four phases, three layers and emphasizes three important pillars; US National Missile Defence Systems, The Active Layered Theatre Ballistic Missile Defence of NATO and the national missile defence systems of member nations. If any threat attempts to launch a missile at a NATO ally, it will face the consequences of its actions not from one country but from all NATO members. According to this program Turkey is going to undertake an important role however she has not have her own missile defence system capabilities.
Expectations from Turkey for the U.S. and NATO’s integrated missile defence system may be in the form of contributions in the first two layers. The program is primarily designed to increase protection against medium-range and intermediate-range ballistic missiles but, to intercept those missiles as soon as possible after they’ve been launched in boost and ascent phase. For that reason, Turkey has a vital importance due to its geographical position within the context of the potential threat.

İran kaybeden taraf olmak istemeyecektir. Kazan-kazan formülü için İran’ın nelere sahip olması gerektiği konusunda taraflar asgari müşterekler üzerinde mutabakatla hazır olmadığı için bir uzlaşma sağlanması oldukça zor gözükmektedir. Gelinen noktanın daha da ilerisinde kaybeden tarafın batı olacağı ve batının iradesini sert güçle kabul ettirme yoluna gideceği değerlendirilmektedir. Bununla beraber, batının karşısında yeni bir blok oluşturulması durumu mevcuttur. Özellikle Putin’in iktidara gelmesiyle birlikte, İran, Rusya ve Çin bloğu batının sert güç kullanmasının önünde bir engel teşkil edecektir. Üç ülke ile kontrol edilen Asya kıtası İran için yeterli kaynağı teşkil edecek ve ABD için ciddi baş ağrısı olacak demektir. Neticede nükleer bir İran görmeye hazır olmalıyız.
