ALBAWABA - Israel and Iran are continuing to fire more missiles at each other in one of the most dangerous conflicts in the Middle East in recent years. In Turkey and the Arab world, social media is full of clips from the famous Turkish TV show Kurtlar Vadisi Pusu (Valley of the Wolves), which some people now say "predicted" what would happen.
Recently, a scene from the book's main character, Polat Alemdar, came back to the top. In it, he says: "Israel and Iran work together without saying so." Their survival depends on making each other angry at each other. They make up a problem when emotions drop.
The scene, which aired more than ten years ago, has hit home with fans who are now seeing real-life events that match the show's global threats. A lot of people on the internet want to know: Is this war real, or is it just for show? The same thing Polat said.
War or Pre-Written Drama?
"Savaş mı tiyatro mu?" After this Kurtlar Vadisi video went global, the question "War or theater?" became popular on Turkish social media. People talked about the character's claims that both Israel and Iran use heightened tensions in the region to keep their power, and that this manufactured conflict helps arms traders and global oil groups.
The scene that went global happened at the same time as the eighth day of real fighting between Israel and Iran, during which both countries have fired direct missiles at each other. Nuclear sites in Iran were recently hit by Israeli missiles, and Iran fired rockets at big Israeli towns like Tel Aviv, Haifa, and Be'er Sheva.
A Made-Up Prediction?
Kurtlar Vadisi is back, and it's not just one scene. Fans of the show for a long time say that between 2010 and 2015, there were a lot of stories that dealt with secret wars, nuclear goals, Mossad operations, and trouble in the region involving Iran, Israel, and Western powers. In a line that has been shared many times, the figure Abdülhey says: "They will make the Middle East less stable." Next up is Iran. Many people say that this line sounds a lot like today's news.
Wants to Come Back
People are talking about a new season again because of the increased excitement. Necati Şaşmaz, who created Kurtlar Vadisi, has hinted at bringing the show back in the past, but no official news has been made. But fans are adamant that the show should come back right now, when things are really crazy in the region.
Pop culture and politics meet in the middle.
As the conflict between Israel and Iran gets worse, some experts say that cultural events like Kurtlar Vadisi show and affect how people think about power fights in the area. The show's dramatic portrayals of deep-state plots, oil wars, and foreign meddling continue to hit home, especially as tensions rise in the real world.
These are the words of Polat Alemdar: "This land will have a real war one day..." Everyone will need to choose a side. For many, that day seems to have come.
