It seems like a Middle Eastern superpower is gearing up to join the fight against the Islamic State, as Turkish foreign minister Mevlut Cavusoglu confirmed Saturday that Saudi Arabia has begun amassing a massive number of troops and warplanes in Turkey's Incirlik military base, according to The Independent.

Saudi Arabia announced two days ago its intentions to join the fight in Syria, stating that its decision to send its military forces to the beleaguered Middle Eastern nation was irreversible.

With the number of troops the country is amassing, however, it is almost clear that it intends to initiate a full-scale invasion of Syria. Cavusoglu further stated that Turkey and Saudi Arabia are now seeing eye-to-eye in lieu of military efforts against the extremists, reported The Daily Caller.

"At every coalition meeting, we have always emphasized the need for an extensive result-oriented strategy in the fight against the Daesh terrorist group. If we have such a strategy, then Turkey and Saudi Arabia may launch an operation from the land," Cavusoglu said.

The Turkish foreign minister, however, did not specify the exact number of troops that are being amassed in the military base. He also did not give any indication of the intended date of deployment for the troops, reported Fox News.

With Saudi Arabia entering the fray, the Islamic State might find soon find itself in its tightest spot yet.
