#2 Again, IRAN is refusing to commit any of its major conventional forces to fight the ISIS/ISIL unless the Nucprog issues wid the US-Israel, etal. is formally resolved.

It has Hezbollah in Lebanon-Syria, + local Shia "Qadir" Militias in Iraq, + it will likely retaliate militarily, albeit limited, iff the ISIS gets too close to Iran proper for Tehran's comfort.

The above being said, the ultimate or top priority for the US-NATO/EU right now is preventing the ISIS from destabilizing + expanding into Turkey.

IFF THE US-WEST FEARED ANYTHING AS PER THE OVERTHROW OF THE SHAH OF IRAN BACK IN THE LATE 1970'S, IT WILL BE much WORSE WID AN ISIS-CONTROLLED TURKEY.

Wid IRAN expanding its sphere from Iraq to Syria + Lebanon [East Med], any ISIS-controlled Turkey can expand only towards RUSSIA + EASTERN EUROPE [NATO-EU].

THE NEED FOR A UNIFIED, WESTERN + EASTERN JUDEOCHRISTIAN/CHRISTIAN MILPOL BARRIER IN THE UKRAINE [Crimea] + BLACK SEA REGION AGZ THE EXPANSION-HAPPY ISIS/ISIL CALIPHATE IN SYRIA-IRAQ IS MORE IMPERATIVE NOW THANKS TO THE LOOMING ISIS THREAT TO TURKEY.
