Report: the transformation of Iraq's tranquility into a grave menace for a Pro-Iranian leader
2023-07-16
“Nice little country ya got here,” said Uncle Joe Biden. “Sure would be a shame if your little friends were stupid and something bad happened.”
[Shafaq News] On 20 January, three suicide drones targeted al-Tanf, a military base in southeastern Syria hosting US forces.

The attack didn't cause significant losses: the troops there shot down two of the drones, while the third went kaboom! after colliding with a building belonging to an allied Syrian rebel group, US forces said at the time.

Two days later, an unknown gang called "the Inheritors" grabbed credit.

#3  That’s what PM Netanyahu is concerned about, Slavising Unineting5672, and why the IDF reservists threatening to boycott training — at the behest of the Biden administration — is so profoundly evil.

Note, however, the final two paragraphs of the article:

"All the arenas in the region, including Libya, Yemen and Leb, are heading towards settlement and appeasement. The Iranians want to be part of this settlement as part of preparation for their next front with Israel," he added.

"They do not want to open this front before the other fronts are settled, or at least calmed down. There is a change in tactics. Any unnecessary battles must stop now because the real battle is with Israel."

#2  This sort of international conference of Islamist leaders can be traced to the late nineteen eighties when leaders of both Shia and Sunni movements met in Tehran and opened offices there. Subsequent meetings have been held sporadically. In the meeting just held it was stated, ""The meetings were routine, and the conversations all focused on the recent events in Jenin," However, this is not entirely believable. Each meeting sponsored by Iran has resulted in a change (really an imposition) of policy. This meeting perhaps is called because Iran senses weakness in the Netanyahu government and Israel itself. It may signal an increase in attacks on Israel throughout the Muslim world.

#1  Extensive detail but what I got from this is that Shafaq News thinks the current PM Sudani might be assassinated by US agents.

That's basically nutzoid reasoning.
