626: Preemptive Prosecution

The Ceyhan terminal in Turkey serves as a critical hub for the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline, which bypasses Syrian territory. The disruption of Russian-aligned pipelines through Syria is viewed as a primary objective of neoconservative interests represented by the Kagan family.
