The conflicts that began in Gaza in the Middle East have gained a new dimension with Israel's attacks on Lebanon and Syria. With the addition of Iran's missiles fired at Israel, comments have started to emerge that the tension in the region could escalate into a regional war. In this context, the British press has also presented striking analyses. A news article published in the Mirror emphasized that Israel is receiving support from its Western allies, primarily the USA and the UK. The article included a list of which countries would support Israel and which would support Iran if the conflicts were to expand and turn into a global war. Accordingly, Israel's relationship with the USA dates back to former President Harry S. Truman's decision to recognize Israel. "THE EUROPEAN UNION WILL STAND BY ISRAEL"Israel has gained strong allies in addition to the USA, and it is anticipated that the UK and the European Union will also stand by Israel. This prediction is based on the UK's commercial and military ties with European countries. It was also stated that Western countries, particularly the UK and the USA, share a similar stance with Israel regarding Iran. The article also evaluated which countries might support Iran. "HAS SUCCEEDED IN ESTABLISHING A SUPPORT NETWORK WITH RUSSIA, CHINA, AND TURKEY"It was commented that "Iran has succeeded in establishing a support network with Russia, China, and Turkey in response to the alliance of the USA, EU, and the UK against Israel." It was noted that Russia and Iran have developed strategic relations against sanctions from the West. Similarly, it was mentioned that China is trying to meet its energy needs through Iran due to its increasing production capacity, and for this reason, it has signed various agreements with Tehran. It was striking that no details were provided about Turkey, which is among the countries likely to support Iran. However, the newspaper recalled Turkey's removal from the F-35 program due to its acquisition of S-400 missiles from Russia and the calls for its expulsion from NATO, evaluating this situation as a reflection of the discussions surrounding Turkey's axis shift.
