Turkey would give Syria a major beating. We are talking what, one huge long time NATO supplied nation against a Iraq type nation. Its no match what so ever. Syria has also lost every war its fought in the last hundred years.

Turkey isn't going to attack Syria.
Turkey and Syria have grown closer in recent years. As have Turkey and Iran.
Turkey even has formal relations with Hamas.
DEBKA is a propaganda and disinformation website.
Think about it for a moment. Turkey has basically destroyed relations with Israel and gotten in bed with Syria, Iran and Hamas.
Whose purpose and interests would it serve to see Turkey at war with Iran and Syria?
Whose purpose/interests would it serve to influence public opinion?
There's a "great" game of chess being played.
Don't believe everything you read, especially from sites like DEBKA.

It's also in the MSM.
Debkafile is to Israel what ATS is to the rest of the world. Info shows up there LONG before it appears on the MSM, IF it appears at all. I have never found Debkafile to post "propaganda" in the accepted definition of the word.
Wiki
DEBKAfile (Hebrew: תיק דבקה) is a Jerusalem-based English language Israeli open source military intelligence website with commentary and analyses on terrorism, intelligence, security, and military and political affairs in the Middle East. The word "Debka" refers to an Arab folk dance.[1]
The site started in the summer of 2000, and is operated from the Jerusalem home of veteran journalists Giora Shamis and Diane Shalem.[1] It has been awarded Forbes' Best of the Web award.[2] Forbes identifies the best part of the website as being its archives, but decries the fact that "most of the information is attributed to unidentified sources."
In March 2009 I co-wrote a piece in FORBES magazine called Doomsday Investing. Penned in the depths of The Great Recession, the story offered a few ways investors might make money if the dire downturn were to continue: sin stocks, Swiss francs and gold. But, I warned, limit the extreme defensive plays to 10% of your portfolio.
For that story I interviewed a woman named Laura Martin who works for Gerald Celente, the ultra-bearish publisher of Trends Journal who still believes the worst is yet to come, and she said she’d cashed out her 401(k) and shifted 60% of her assets into gold coins. I opined, in print, that she was overreacting.
But nearly two years later, gold has nearly doubled in value and the S&P 500 is down roughly 20% over that period. In recent months, gold has become so frothy that Mr. T has been popping up in commercials for online gold-buying outfits (I recently interviewed him about the spots — see below).
TEHRAN, June 28 (Xinhua) -- Iran announced on Tuesday that it " successfully" testfired 14 short-range, medium-range and long- range missiles on the second day of the missile drills.
According to the local English language satellite Press TV report, the missiles fired included Zelzal, Shahab-1, Shahab-2 and Shahab-3 on the second day of the Piambar A'zam-6 (Great Prophet-6) military drills.
The missiles which were launched near the central city of Qom comprised five Shahab missiles, including four medium-range and one long-range, as well as nine Zelzal missiles.
The Islamic Republic began the drills on Monday, and on the first day of the exercises, Iran unveiled underground missile silos and fired Fateh-110 missile.
Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast said Tuesday that the more powerful an independent country is to defend itself, the more helpful it would be for the security, peace and stability of the region.
Talking to the reporters in his weekly press briefing, Mehmanparast said that if the regional countries were powerful enough to defend themselves, the Zionist regime of Israel would never dare to attack and occupy their territory.
Now that the West is concerned about Iran's power to defend itself, it means that they cannot pursue their interests easily in the region, said the spokesman.
Aerospace commander of Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) Amir Ali Hajizadeh, said Tuesday that Iran's missiles have the range of 2,000 km and can reach U.S. bases in the region and also Israel.
Iran does not need to increase the range of its missiles since Israel is just 1,200 km away from Iran and the U.S. bases are even nearer, some 120 to 700 km away from Iran, said the commander.
With the existing missiles, Iran can hit the targets from the Iranian central cities of Semnan and Damghan, Hajizadeh said.
He dismissed the threats by the Europeans and said that Iran has designed and developed its missiles for U.S. and Israel targets.
The commander also rejected the allegations that Iran has imported the missiles and the technology of the missiles from the DPRK.
On Monday, Colonel Asghar Qlitchkhani, the spokesmen for the wargame, said that the technology and the construction of the silos are totally local and have been developed and built by the Iranian experts.
The permanent readiness of the missiles in the vertical position is one of the important features of these silos, the commander said, adding that all the launching stages of the missile are electronic and are remote-controlled.
The silos function as one of the swift-reaction units of the missile commandment so that, permanently in the vertical position, they are ready to hit the pre-determined targets, he told reporters.
The aerospace commander of the IRGC said Sunday that the Piambar A'zam-6 missile drills would last for 10 days.
The maneuver had totally defensive objectives and would be held with the message of "peace and friendship," Hajizadeh said.

Looks like they're coming along nicely in their plans to defend themselves against Israeli aggression.

Not if Israel targets these missile sites before the nukes
Iran has denied claims that it threatened to hit NATO bases in Turkey, accusing the Western media of trying to spread false information.
A columnist for Lebanese daily al-Akhbar, said to be close to Hezbollah, claimed last week that Iran had threatened Turkey, saying if it were to be used as a platform for NATO action against Syria, Iran would bomb US and NATO bases in Turkey.
“There have been reports that NATO will attack Syria from its bases in Turkey and that Iran has threatened Turkey. These are untrue claims that the Western media is trying to spread,” Ramin Mehmanparast, the spokesman for the Iranian Foreign Ministry, told a news conference in Tehran on Tuesday. His remarks were carried by the Anatolia news agency, which quoted a statement from the Iranian Embassy in Ankara.
Mehmanparast also underlined that Iran and Turkey have very good relations and that they have the potential to go even further with their existing cooperation. He added that NATO was not able to engage itself in a new operation as it already faces problems in Afghanistan.

Iran does want to destroy Israel, but not the jews.
There are jews living in Iran, In fact the second highest jewish population in the middle east is in Iran.
Israel has no right to exist, they dont even have official borders.
sure the jews have the right to exist, but the zionist are not jews, they are sick power hungry selfish people who want their messiah to rule the new world from jerusalem. the new world will emerge after a big war where apparently israel will be forced to destroy the world? but why would the world turn against israel? I can answer that question. because the zionist want total control and they are never happy with what they have.
ISRAEL = I Slay, Rape, And Extort Land
now, tell me did david have a star and what does the star of david really mean
another question, do you like to be controlled and manipulated?
i dont think so
nobody does
and thats why the jews have been targeted every century, because wherever they go they control the population for their own gains, then the people wake up and fight back and the same result of jews being kicked out. same thing now except this time israel has nukes.
they will kill 6 billion people just so that 6 million can live. they dont care.
