I'm willing to believe this is an isolated case.
What I think it tells us is how effective gov. media has been in making the War of Independence so symbolic of the times today and the degree to which today's rivals and enemies are the same as the old ones.

Headlines like this were inevitable for sure. Not really sure what they’re going to do about it.

Hard to know if statements like this this is a fig leaf covering failure or it's something Ankara believes.
🇪🇬 has been consistently against a bi-lat EEZ deal w/🇹🇷 for strategic reasons. Does 🇹🇷 really think that offering more sq. km. to Cairo is that persuasive? IDK

At the very least, seems like more a plea from Turkey and Saudi Arabia for Iran not to attack them like they did in the spring.
Significant development and the most meaningful regional engagement seen during the war thus far.
That said, the generally enthusiastic tone from Iranian officials (while not surprising--a regional order that does not include the US has been an Iranian ambition for decades) serves to obscure one of the likely motives behind this trip: Saudi communicating that attacks on its territory are likely to bring more serious repercussions than in the past.

The silliness of all this posturing is that there's real dollars and sense things on the line for all involved. Is Turkey and Egypt really gonna mix it up over invisible lines on the map?

Not unimportant but more a performative dance.
Remember: The National Assembly in Ankara was supposed to approve an official map of Turkish maritime claims in the spring. It's October and it has not happened.
Why? That comes with real potential costs.

Σύμφωνα με άριστα πληροφορημένες πηγές της «Κ», έχει περιέλθει στην αντίληψη της Αθήνας ότι στην απόπειρα ενοποίησης των ενόπλων δυνάμεων ανατολικής και δυτικής Λιβύης πρωταρχικό ρόλο διαδραματίζουν από κοινού η Τουρκία και τα Ηνωμένα Αραβικά Εμιράτα (ΗΑΕ). Η Τουρκία και τα ΗΑΕ δεν είναι κατ’ ανάγκην αλληλοαναιρούμενοι παράγοντες. Σημειωτέον ότι να απλώσει «πλοκάμια» στη Βεγγάζη επιχείρησε και το Ισραήλ.
