Turkey Under Fire Over Iran Ties | US News

Senator Rick Scott is sounding the alarm on Turkey, calling them “not exactly our friends” as the U.S. Treasury slams a Turkish bank for aiding Iran’s Revolutionary Guard — a group tied to funding terror groups that threaten American troops. The targeted bank, Golden Global Yatirim Bankasi, allegedly funneled tens of millions in funds through its branches, prompting Secretary Scott Bessent to warn any financial institutions still helping Iran’s network will face consequences. With Scott wielding influence on key Senate committees and Turkey ramping up military activity in Syria while criticizing Israel, tensions are escalating — especially since Turkey hosts vital U.S. bases like Incirlik. Despite denying involvement in recent U.S. strikes against Iran, Turkey’s shifting alliances and regional posturing add another layer to an already complicated geopolitical chess game.
