Turkey's Cross-Border Strikes: Retaliation and Escalation

Turkey warns of potential escalation in air strikes on Kurdish targets in Syria and Iraq following a recent attack in Ankara. The Turkish government claims that the attackers entered Turkey from Syria and received training there. Turkey considers all Kurdish facilities in Syria and Iraq as legitimate military targets and has conducted air strikes and raids in response to the attack. The YPG militia, seen as an affiliate of the PKK, has strained ties between Turkey and its Western allies, including the US and France. Iraq has expressed opposition to Turkey's military presence and denounced the recent air strikes.
