Abstract :
The security relations between Turkey and Israel have always had significant effects on regional security in West Asia, particularly on Iran. On one hand, Turkey is a regional ally of the United States, and on the other, it was the first Muslim country to officially recognize Israel’s existence in 1949. Following this recognition, the two governments deepened their relations through bilateral agreements. In this context, the research question is: What impact do Turkey-Israel relations have on the Islamic Republic of Iran within the West Asian security complex? This study employs qualitative methods, including document analysis and library and internet-based data collection. By relying on Barry Buzan’s security complex theory and his broad definition of security, this research demonstrates that Turkey and Israel, as regional allies of the United States in the West Asian security complex, have consistently engaged in strategic cooperation in various security domains, including military, economic, environmental, and social spheres. However, in the realm of political security, they have occasionally experienced verbal disputes at different periods.Thus, these two countries exhibit mutual dependence across five security dimensions, and challenges in one security domain do not necessarily mean the absence of overall security relations. Furthermore, Turkey-Israel security relations can have significant repercussions for the Islamic world, particularly for Iran. The shared objective of both countries may be to weaken Iran, dismantle the Islamic resistance axis, and disrupt the balance of power in favor of the Western-Israeli-Arab bloc within the West Asian security complex.
