Your lack of knowledge of the region makes sense since you are south asian with zero relation to West Asia. Russia post soviet times has always eyed a return to Caspian region and surroundings. They have official claims in Caspian sea and they meddle heavily in oil-politics of the region. Now they have Iran as a strong ally and Syria as a base too.
Not exactly. Again lack of knowledge from a south asian outsider who is trying to come across as some sort of general for Russians and Iranians. Russia has been engaging Turkey since 1980s. Who do you think founded PKK? I can bet you have zero knowledge of it. It was Russian KGB in Baku. Do you want to know whose brainchild PKK was in KGB ? It was Heydar Aliyev, the father of Azeri Republic and of current president. Even after 20+ years of its formation, the Azeri republic did not recognize PKK as a terrorist organization which massacers Turkish forces for lunch. They not only created PKK, they harboured them for a long time too. Funny enough the same Azeri republic refused to harbour any anti Iran terror element which is why we have zero violence in Azerbaijan, except for few media clowns who bark but do nothing else. Here is something interesting, the first publication on incoming Kurdish majority population change in Turkey came from ... nowhere but Moscow.
Do you want to know why ? Because Azeris are the people who invented Shiaism in the region and the Qizilbash Military order that created Saffavid Empire. Tell some Azeri from republic or from iran that will he will side with any anti Shia force he will laugh at you.
Turkey is less populated than Iran, also the region that connects Turkey to Iran is infested with Azeris (Shias) and Kurds (hate Turkish). In order to make a move against Iran on ground Turkish forces will have to pass through PKK infested corridors in their own region let alone entering Iran through tough mountainous region. Even if some of the forces enter Iran they will meet hardcore tribal Shia Azeris or Kurds. My family is from Khoy, Azerbaijan so trust me I know more about that region than you.
And btw Turkey is not armed to teeth. In case of conflict, IRGC will fire some 500-1000 pinpoint accurate MaRVs/CM on 3 Turkish FABs that house 6 squadrons facing Iran and the Turkish attack arm will be gone. IRGC's GVs rain down at 4-5 mach so good luck intercepting them. What will Turkish do then ? they have near to zero missile power and their UCAVs cant pass through multi layered AD of Iran (covered with SHORADS, TVC-HIMADS). With mild re-structuring Russian AD has brought down 20 bayraktars in hostile region. What will happen to them in Iranian skies which even American Stealth UCAVs (RQ-170, RQ-4) have failed to pass through?
Multiple times through history Iran has blasted Ottoman forces out of our region. Which is why despite being ruling Arabs and Berbers for centuries Ottomans couldnt establish rule over an inch out of Iranian land. Instead, as soon as any Turkoman or Azeri empire took over Iran, they attacked Ottomans.
Turkey has no missile power like Iran so their airbases are at mercy of IRGC's MaRVs which Turkish AD can't intercept. IRGC can fire barrages of MaRVs from their underground bases deep from the Southern territory (our highest range is 3000+ km for BM, 2000KM for CM). The F-16s will blast to fragments on ground and runways will be gone.
You are deluded in Turkish love while Turkish nationalist will call you a converted Indian. Trust me, I know them esp their nationalists more than you will ever do. You think of them as some Islamic warriors and your equals, they in reality are European wannabe liberals who see you as stupid clients they can generate easy money from.
Historically it has always been Iran who has occupied Anatolia. Below is the not so distant history of Azeris with Turkish. Tabriz being emptied by Azeri forces of ottoman invaders in some classic azeri way.

You are suffering from some conflicted self-identity crisis which is resulting into love for Turkish nation that you have no blood or historical link with. Closest you ever got to touch a Turk was when Turko-Iranics ruled you (Mamluks, Uzbek Moghals) or attacked you (Azeris of Iran, Afshars, my people).
Potential result will be that Shia Azerbaijan which was taken from iran by force by Russia will return to Iran the same way Shia Iraq rolled back into Iranian fold. Us Azeris did not choose to leave Iran we were over-powered because of inner weak government of Iran at that time. Even then, the warrior clans of Qizilbash of Baku fought to the point that Russians almost lost the war. They had to cross over Qizilbash soldier's bodies to enter the fort. We are Shias, Qizilbash warriors who have massacred Russians, Ottomans, Indians. Only stupid outsiders with no knowledge of region think we will side with anything other than Shia or Azeri/Iranian.
Only cartoonish comments are coming from you here. A South Asian man with some delusional fetish for Turkish because you think doing so will turn you into west asian. I never understand why does Pakistan produce the highest number of these self hating types who love other nations more than they love their own country.
Are you on drugs or something what does PKK even have anything to do with this or in that matter some Shia peasant farmers in this is also irrelevant..
