I guess it makes more sense now with the context you added, although I understand these are only assumptions like you said. It kind of explains why they would be the absolute last place Iran would target, given its military power compared to the gulf regimes.

I do get your point regarding the Ukraine war. It's probably best for Iran to wait until the war in Ukraine ends. To me, Türkiye's independence and geography are probably some of the reasons for its rhetoric during the war in Ukraine, the zionist genocide, and the regional war in West Asia in general. It allows them to pose as a mediator while being a self serving participant in the empire's colonization of West Asia.
