Sorry bro but we Turks have been hearing these excuses for years now about how ""Turkey should not intervene with Syrian sovereignty" and now Iran is doing that very same thing. Those Iranian soldiers die for their little forward base against Turkey, Israel and other regional countries. Those arent martyrs that die protecting their country, those are puppets dying for a selfish cause.
You know my words are justified. Dont get my harsh words wrong, they dont apply to every Iranian citizen or Iranian soldier protecting their country.
They are actually protecting our country. What do you think will happen if Syria & Iraq falls to Islamic Jihadists like ISIS and Al Qaeda? Do you think they will suddenly become a enlightened nation, and help advance the region, or do you think they will start moving towards Iran? Our country has a huge land borders with Iraq & Turkey on the west and Pakistan and Afghanistan on the east, and if we do nothing, and terrorists gain more power in both these neighbors, who will lose out?
When they start attacking Iran from our land borders, do you think Erdogan will come help us? USA will help us? Saudi will help us? Who will help us, when bombs are being set off in our markets and schools? We're not going to wait and do nothing, until our borders are full of terrorist scums, and then fight them in Iran, while your countries will make a statement, "We do not support such actions" and "These are not real Muslims" whenever a suicide bomb blows up something in Iran.
Our soldiers are dying so these scum, who's only use in this world is to be the fertilizers in the ground, don't reach our citizens.
If Turkey, Qatar, and Saudi, instead of helping to give strength to these terrorist scum, and instead erased them completely in Libya, Syria, and Iraq, trust me, not one Iranian soldier would step foot out of Iran.
