Further signs of the Ezekiel 38 alliance beginning to form. First it was Russia and Turkey, now Turkey and Iran, and we have the Russia and Iran connection with the nuclear program. All the pieces are falling into place.

Ankara tells US it won’t adhere to new sanctions on Iran
Turkish officials have told an American delegation that it has no intention of following unilateral US sanctions on Iran, a move likely to deepen a rift between the two NATO allies over the Islamic republic’s contentious nuclear program that Washington believes is aimed at developing nuclear weapons.
Turkish and American officials have confirmed that a US delegation comprising representatives from the State and Treasury departments visited Ankara last week to have talks at the Turkish Foreign Ministry and the Undersecretariat of the Treasury over US sanctions on Iran.
The talks came as Turkey said it would support Turkish companies making sales to Tehran despite unilateral US sanctions that restrict trade. “They were here to discuss and explain UN sanctions and also the new US sanctions package signed into legislation by President Obama on July 1,” a US Embassy official in Ankara told Reuters late on Friday. The official said Turkey was one of many countries the delegation was planning to visit.
Foreign Ministry officials said the delegation had offered details about the US sanctions but that Turkey’s response was negative, the Anatolia news agency reported. “We told them we don’t feel obliged to adhere to sanctions other than those imposed by the UN,” an official said.
