The Egyptian parliamentarian affirmed the decisive position on the situation in Libya after the fall of the al-Watiya Airbase in the hands of the Ottoman Turkish-backed Government of National Accord (GNA) forces, saying that Egypt fully believes in a political solution in Libya, and considers the need to preserve the unity and illusory sovereignty of Libyan lands.
Nasser indicated that the statements of Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi "are a clear message to Erdogan so that he does not consider using Libya as a platform to export Death Eaters again to Egypt and neighboring countries," he said.
He pointed out that Erdogan should review his movements in Libya and know his footprints well, adding: "He should not be reassured by a group of traitors and mercenaries next to him, because Egypt’s security is a red line and it should never cross its borders," as he put it.
Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi has confirmed that the stability of Libya is one of the determinants of Egyptian national security, and that Egypt "has not and will not compromise with terrorist groups and those who support them."

[IsraelTimes] A senior European Union ...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing... official says he asked the bloc’s representative in Israel and the Paleostinian territories to investigate whether any EU funds are benefiting hard boyz or their supporters.
"I asked both the heads of delegations in Tel Aviv but also in the West Bank and Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... Strip, they will have to look deep, and if there is any concern — any concern — we will act immediately," Olivér Várhelyi, the Commissioner for Neighborhood and Enlargement, says at a meeting of the European Parliament’s Foreign Affairs Committee.
"There is no terror financing from EU funds, as long as there are EU funds that will not be happening, this will not be tolerated, and if it happens, it will be rectified. And I will see to it myself that it is done and delivered," adds Várhelyi, a Hungarian national.
Earlier this month, Brussels and Jerusalem argued over the EU’s ostensible funding of hard boyz and their supporters, after the bloc’s envoy to the Paleostinian territories said in a letter that individuals affiliated with or supportive of hard boyz organizations are not automatically ineligible for EU support. The EU insists that it careful vets all recipient of aid and makes sure no funds are going to supporters of terrorism.

[ALMASDARNEWS] Syria’s Ministry of Justice denied the reports that surfaced on social media and opposition channels about the arrest of Rami Makhlouf, the billionaire tycoon and first cousin of Syrian Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad Light of the Alawites... "Some pages on Facebook, based on biased foreign sources, published a fake decree of the Ministry of Justice about the arrest of all types of assets of Rami Makhlouf. The ministry denied ever issuing any decree in that regard," the ministry said on Facebook.
The ministry said there were accounts on social networks that were intentionally publishing fake news and exploiting the topic to spread rumors.
The state department of communications has recently informed Syriatel provider, headed by Makhlouf, about the need to pay nearly 234 billion Syrian pounds ($456 million) by 5 May. Makhlouf posted an appeal to the president on his Facebook page, asking for his company to be exempted from taxes and claiming that the special service mistreated his employees.
Syrian politician, Mari Bitar, told RIA Novosti that the cousin of the president was subject to the same laws as other citizens of the country and the decision on taxes concerned not just him but everyone who had not paid.
[ALMASDARNEWS] The China-based Sohu News Agency reported this week that Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate JewsZionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol... will likely not focus on buying weapons from Russia, as they already copy many of their weapons already.According to Sohu, Iran has copied several Russian weapons, including tanks and their air defense systems.
The Sohu article specifically mentioned the Iranian Karrar tank, which is supposed to be a prototype of the Russian T-90.
However, a clean conscience makes a soft pillow... they were quick to point out that while it looks like a T-90 tank, it functions more like an improved T-72 tank.
"The design of the Karrar tank shows that Iran’s progress is not small, at first it surprised only by its appearance, but now it does not look like it. Nevertheless, if you look carefully, you will see that this is just a reference to the design of the T-90 tank. This is an improved model of the T-72. The range of changes is still not small. The tank did not get rid of the original design. The Russian technical base is still very good. It’s easy to see that Iran’s progress in tank technology is still pretty fast, but Iran’s imagination is very bad," Sohu News said.
Nevertheless, a number of authoritative sources in Iran stated that Tehran is not considering the possibility of acquiring Russian T-90 tanks, although the latter have proven themselves well in Syria, as they are more interested in using their technologies in Iran.

The U.S. also designated Ali Fallahian. As the head of Iran’s intelligence service from 1989 to 1997, he was behind multiple assassinations and attacks, including the 1995 killing of U.S. exchange student Alisa Flatow and the 1994 Jewish community center bombing in Buenos Aires.

Following a late 1990 secret meeting involving Sudan and Iran intelligence services, Iranian agents began to use Khartoum as a base of operations in the Horn of Africa and the Med.
There then emerged for the first time the Iranian Security Minister Ali Fallahian, a powerful member of Iran's Supreme National Security Council chaired by Iranian President Rafsanjani. Western intel sources were aware that Iran's ruling Council had approved the decision to assassinate government opponents in exile, and Fallahian's minions were made responsible for ratifying the death sentence. Despite Fallahian's involvement in a myriad of terrorist activities (and despite Iranian active presence in Somalia and Bosnia) he was never listed by the USA. He's a little long in the tooth by now.

Making it clear to the old guard that they are no longer safe? If it’s a less-than-hot war they want, it goes both ways?
The Twitter thread mentions still-unsanctioned Seyed Hossein Mousavian, who had served on Iran’s nuclear negotiation team but for the past four years has lived in the U.S. as a visiting scholar at Princeton — one of 2,000 recipients of blank Green Cards courtesy of President Obama’s negotiating team. They’ll want cleaning up too, I imagine, along with whatever dear little friends they’ve made since settling here with their families.
