The EU mission — which currently consists of four frigates — has an exclusively defensive mandate and is not allowed to attack the Houthis on Yemeni soil. The United States is spearheading its own naval coalition in the area and has, along with Britannia, conducted strikes on the Houthis in Yemen.

[KavkazUzel] A court in Makhachkala tightened the measure of restraint for three police officers who were under house arrest in the case of the death of detainee Kurban Dalgatov.
As the "Caucasian Knot" wrote, on February 22, the investigation reported 13 defendants in the case of Dalgatov's death. On March 11, it became known about the arrest of the former deputy head of the criminal investigation department of the Soviet regional police department of Makhachkala, Arsen Abdulkadirov. On March 13, he was arrested in connection with the death of Makhachkala resident Kurban Dalgatov. On March 14, former police detective Timur Gugaev, who was detained a day earlier in the same case, was also taken into custody.
Kurban Dalgatov died on January 20, 2023 after he was taken to the Sovetsky district police department of Makhachkala. Relatives stated that he died of suffocation, which occurred after Dalgatov “was given electric shocks to the heart area.” The man received injuries before his death, the Ministry of Internal Affairs confirmed.
The court changed the preventive measure for three detectives of the police department who were under house arrest in the case of the death of Kurban Dalgatov in the building of the police department, said the head of the press service of the Supreme Court of Dagestan Zarema Mamaeva.
“The court, having considered the investigation’s petition, changed the measure of restraint for three employees of the Sovetsky District Department of Internal Affairs of the city of Makhachkala to detention for the period of the preliminary investigation,” TASS quoted her as saying on April 9.
The decision was made by the Soviet District Court of Makhachkala, Bolat Medzhidov, Nazhmudin Chupanov and Magomedshapi Magomedshapiev were placed in custody, Chernovik reported on the evening of April 9.
Let us remind you that on January 15, the Sovetsky District Court of Makhachkala placed under house arrest two police officers detained in the case of the death of Kurban Dalgatov - Muslim Kerimov and Magomedshapi Magomedshapiev. When choosing a preventive measure, the court took into account that one of them had disabled parents as dependents, and the other took part in hostilities.
The next day, the court placed another detective of the police department in the Sovetsky district under house arrest. At the same time, on February 3 it became known that the decision to place Muslim Kerimov under house arrest had been cancelled.
On January 20, 2023, before the arrest of 35-year-old Dalgatov, a conflict occurred on the street between two men, one of them, according to the police, shot at his opponent and escaped with the help of Dalgatov. Kurban Dalgatov was found and detained. During the investigation at the police department, his health worsened, he was given first aid and taken to the hospital, but doctors pronounced him dead.
[Rudaw] German authorities detained an Iraqi couple suspected of being members of the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems.... (ISIS) and accused of enslaving and sexually abusing two young Yazidi girls, prosecutors said on Wednesday.
The suspects, identified only as Twana H.S. and Asia R.A., were married under Islamic law and arrested in Bavaria on Tuesday "on suspicion of genocide, crimes against humanity, as well as membership in the foreign terrorist organization Islamic State," Germany’s Federal Public Prosecutor’s Office said in a blurb.
They are accused of holding a then five-year-old Yazidi girl as a slave and later a then twelve-year-old Yazidi girl as well between October 2015 and December 2017. During that period, "Twana H.S. repeatedly raped both children. To this end, Asia R.A. prepared the room and put make-up on one of the girls."
The victims were further exploited into housework and childcare, were prohibited from practicing their faith, and were forced to partake in Islamic prayers and belief, prosecutors alleged.
In another heinous example of their actions, "Twana H. S. and Asia R. A. applied harsh physical violence to the detriment of the children in case of alleged mistakes. On one occasion, Twana H. S. hit the older girl with a broomstick. Asia R. A. scalded the younger girl’s hand with hot water and repeatedly forced both children to stand on one leg for a half hour each, as a form of punishment," according to the prosecutors.
ISIS swept through vast swathes of Iraq and Syria in 2014 and declared a so-called "caliphate" in a brazen offensive that saw the group take control of around a third of Syria’s territory as well as several Iraqi cities, including the second largest northern city of djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... . It was declared territorially defeated in 2017 and 2019 in both countries respectively.
During the jihadists’ brutal reign, they committed heinous atrocities, such as genocide, sexual slavery, and massacres against non-Moslems, especially the Yazidi ethnoreligious group. Christians and Shiite Moslems were also a target.
Before the couple left Syria in November 2017, they handed the girls to other ISIS members.
"All of this served the organization’s objective to destroy the Yazidi religion," their statement said.
They are being held in pre-trial detention.
German Justice Minister Marco Buschmann commended the arrests, saying "when it comes to combating forces of Evil and religiously motivated crimes against international law, our justice system has a long arm and lasting power."
More than 6,000 Yazidis were kidnapped when ISIS overran the community’s heartland of Shingal (Sinjar) in 2014. Around 2,700 remain missing, with little done to bring solace to the rescued.
In January 2023, the German parliament recognized the 2014 crimes against the Yazidi community by ISIS as "genocide." Berlin has been an essential member of the US-led global coalition against ISIS.
On Sunday, a German MP from the right-wing Alternative for Germany (AfD) party told Rudaw that Berlin has not done enough to prosecute what he said was over 5,000 suspected "war criminals" from Iraq and Syria, mostly ISIS members, who entered the country since 2014.
Germany frequently prosecutes those who committed serious crimes abroad, such as crimes against humanity, on the legal principle of "universal jurisdiction," giving Berlin the green light to prosecute international crimes regardless of where they were committed.

[FoxNews] The device was detonated in the early morning hours of Feb. 24 outside the Montgomery office of Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall.
An Alabama man has been arrested for his alleged role in the late-night detonation of an explosive device outside the office of state Attorney General Steve Marshall in February.
Authorities took Kyle Benjamin Douglas Calvert, 26, of Irondale, into custody on Wednesday on charges of malicious use of an explosive and possession of an unregistered destructive device, the Justice Department said.
Investigators arrested Calvert weeks after an explosive device went off around 3:45 a.m. on Feb. 24 outside Marshall's office in Montgomery.
The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA) said authorities were notified of a suspicious package the Monday after the explosion. The package was confirmed as the device that was detonated days earlier.
"This IED used commercially available pyrotechnic fireworks as the main explosive charge, a coffee can as a concealment container, and was enhanced with added fragmentation and ignitable liquids," an FBI agent wrote, according to court documents.
"The addition of metal screws, nails, and other hardware to this IED demonstrates weaponization characteristics due to the enhanced fragmentation effect that those materials would create. The addition of ignitable liquids to the IED demonstrates weaponization characteristics due to the enhanced ability for the IED to initiate a fire."
No one was hurt and no major damage to nearby buildings was reported.
Surveillance footage released by authorities at the time showed a man walking on a sidewalk minutes after the incident. Investigators have not disclosed a motive.
Charging documents against Calvert state that he placed stickers on state buildings at the time of the bombing with graphics advocating for various political ideologies, AL.com reported. Some allegedly included the phrase "Support your local antifa."
Antifa, a far-left militant movement that calls itself "antifascist," is known for violently confronting those with opposing political views in mostly left-wing cities.

[GreaterKashmir] Srinagar, Apr 5: Army successfully foiled an infiltration attempt by turbans in the Sabura Nala area of Uri in north Kashmir ...a disputed territory lying between India and Pakistain. After partition, the Paks grabbed half of it and call it Azad (Free) Kashmir. The remainder they refer to as "Indian Occupied Kashmir". They have fought four wars with India over it, the score currently 4-0 in New Delhi's favor. After 72 years of this nonsense, India cut the Gordian knot in 2019, removing the area's special status, breaking off Ladakh as a separate state, and allowing people from other areas to settle (or in the case of the Pandits, to resettle) there.... ’s Baramulla district that resulted in the elimination of two unidentified turbans while a massive search operation was on.
Official sources said that the security forces retrieved the body of one of the two terrorists.
The operation was started after the movement of two to three turbans was detected during the early hours, prompting an immediate response from the Army. "OP SABURA, URI #BaramullaAn Infiltration bid on #LoC has been foiled by alert troops in the morning hours today when turbans were trying to infiltrate through Sabura Nala, Uri Sector. 01xTerrorist has been eliminated. Operations in progress.@NorthernComd_IA@adgpi@HQ_IDS_India," Chinar Corps -Indian Army posted on X.
Infiltration activities typically decrease during the winter season due to harsh weather conditions, with a resurgence expected as the snow begins to melt and passes open up.
The infiltrators were challenged by the Indian Army, leading to a fierce shootout in which two bad boyz were potted.
Their identities have not yet been ascertained, and the operation is still underway in the area to ensure the elimination of any remaining threat.
This incident marks the first infiltration attempt from across the Line of Control (LoC) in Kashmir this year.
Infiltration activities typically decrease during the winter season due to harsh weather conditions, with a resurgence expected as the snow begins to melt and passes open up.
General Officer Commanding (GoC) of 15 Corps, Rajiv Ghai, recently visited the LoC to assess the operational preparedness of the Army. During his visit, he interacted with artillery units and emphasised the importance of maintaining a high state of operational readiness and morale to tackle future challenges effectively.
The timing of this infiltration attempt is crucial, as it comes ahead of the Lok Sabha ...After the Libyan Civil War, Sabha grew in importance as a slave auctioning town. However, an investigation by the National Commission for Human Rights in Libya (NCHRL) revealed that while there was illegal slavery, reports were exaggerated, as slave auctions were rare and not made public.

The city was later seized by forces loyal to the Libyan National Army (LNA) and its leader Khalifa Haftar in January 2019, probably for its collection of MiG-25 aircraft.... elections, during which turbans often target political workers and leaders in J&K to disrupt the democratic process.
[GreaterKashmir] Apr 6: The thwarted attempt of infiltration in which two bad boyz were potted on Friday is seen as a desperate move by Pakistain to fuel unrest in Kashmir ...a disputed territory lying between India and Pakistain. After partition, the Paks grabbed half of it and call it Azad (Free) Kashmir. The remainder they refer to as "Indian Occupied Kashmir". They have fought four wars with India over it, the score currently 4-0 in New Delhi's favor. After 72 years of this nonsense, India cut the Gordian knot in 2019, removing the area's special status, breaking off Ladakh as a separate state, and allowing people from other areas to settle (or in the case of the Pandits, to resettle) there.... ahead of the Lok Sabha ...After the Libyan Civil War, Sabha grew in importance as a slave auctioning town.

The Army said that intermittent fire was also exchanged from Pak forward posts in the vicinity of the Line of Control (LoC) during the counter-infiltration operation.
The successful foiling of the infiltration bid was the result of a joint operation led by the Army, which had received numerous intelligence inputs indicating plans of terrorist groups to infiltrate across the LoC in the Uri sector.
Based on these inputs, the counter-infiltration grid was reviewed and strengthened.
According to the Army’s statement, their ambushes detected a group of hard boyz moving towards the LoC in the early hours of Friday.
The security forces tracked their movement and established contact, leading to a heavy exchange of fire.
The operation resulted in the killing of two hard boyz and the recovery of two AK rifles, three magazines, four hand grenades, and ammunition, among other war-like stores.
The Army emphasised that this infiltration bid by hard boyz highlights Pakistain’s desperation to disrupt peace in Kashmir, especially at a time when Lok Sabha elections are scheduled and the democratic process is underway.
The operation’s success was attributed to the synergy between various security and intelligence agencies committed to ensuring peace and tranquillity in Kashmir.
Oooooohhhh, synergy. Such a s3xy word, and all the rage in managerial circles these days…or at least some years back when I paid attention to such things.
The Baramulla Lok Sabha constituency, where the incident took place, is slated to go to polls on May 20 in the fifth phase of the Lok Sabha elections.
It is considered one of the most sensitive constituencies due to its proximity to Pakistain-Indian Kashmire (PoK), encompassing three districts of Kupwara, Bandipora, and Baramulla, all sharing a border with PoK.
The incident underscores the ongoing challenges faced by security forces in the region and the continued efforts of anti-India elements to disrupt peace in Kashmir.
[An Nahar] Three sons and three grandchildren of Hamas ...not a terrorist organization, even though it kidnaps people, holds hostages, and tries to negotiate by executing them,...

It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with 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, and the leader accused Israel of acting in "the spirit of Dire Revenge and murder."
Ismail Haniyeh ...became Prime Minister of Gaza after the legislative elections of 2006 which Hamas won. President Mahmoud Abbas dismissed Haniyeh from office on 14 June 2007 at the height of the Fatah-Hamas festivities, but Haniyeh did not acknowledge the decree and continues as the PM of Gazoo while Abbas maintains a separate PM in the West Bank... 's sons are among the highest-profile figures to be killed in the war so far. It was not immediately clear how their deaths might affect the monthslong cease-fire talks being brokered by international mediators, though Haniyeh said Hamas would not cave in to the pressure.
The Israeli military said the men conducted bully boy activity in central Gaza, without elaborating.
Haniyeh confirmed the deaths in an interview with the al-Jazeera satellite channel, saying his sons "were martyred on the road to liberating Jerusalem and the al-Aqsa Mosque."
"The criminal enemy is driven by the spirit of Dire Revenge and murder and does not value any standards or laws," he said in the phone interview.
The Israeli military described the three siblings as a cell commander and two military operatives.
In his interview with al-Jazeera, Haniyeh said the killings would not pressure Hamas into softening its positions.
"The enemy believes that by targeting the families of the leaders, it will push them to give up the demands of our people," he said. "Anyone who believes that targeting my sons will push Hamas to change its position is delusional."
Haniyeh lives in exile in Qatar ...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates. Home of nutbag holy manYusuf al-Qaradawi... , where al-Jazeera is based. Hamas' al-Aqsa TV station aired footage of Haniyeh receiving the news of the deaths while visiting maimed Paleostinians who have been transported to a hospital in Doha. As an aide received the news on his phone, Haniyeh nodded, looked down at the ground and slowly walked out of the room.
"There is no might and no power but by God," Haniyeh muttered. "May God make matters easy for them."
Al-Aqsa TV said Hazem, Ameer and Mohammed Haniyeh were killed with family members in the strike near the Shati refugee camp in Gaza City. Ismail Haniyeh is originally from Shati.
The brothers were traveling with family members in a single vehicle targeted by an Israeli drone, al-Aqsa TV said, adding that a total of six people were killed, including a daughter of Hazem Haniyeh and a son and daughter of Ameer.
Earlier, Israeli war cabinet minister Benny Gantz claimed Hamas has been defeated militarily, although he also said Israel will fight it for years to come.
"From a military point of view, Hamas is defeated. Its fighters are eliminated or in hiding" and its capabilities "crippled," Gantz said in a statement to the media in Sderot.
But he added: "Fighting against Hamas will take time. Boys who are now in middle school will still fight in the Gaza Strip."
Gantz reiterated the Israeli government's commitment to go into Rafah, the city at the far southern tip of the Gaza Strip where more than half the territory's 2.3 million people are now sheltering. "Wherever there are terrorist targets — the IDF will be there," he said, referring to the Israeli military.

[IsraelTimes] The Beersheba District Court hands down a 20-year sentence to a Paleostinian man who crossed into Israel from 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 Hamas with 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... armed with knives and attacked a security guard in 2021.
He was convicted in January of attempted murder with a terroristic motive, in addition to illegal infiltration.
The Gaza resident, Amad Tzufi, is also given a suspended sentence and ordered to pay compensation of NIS 50,000 to the victim, who was lightly maimed in the attack.
Tzufi entered Israel May 30, 2021, through an undetected breach in the security fence caused by a mortar shell fired from the enclave during the 11-day conflict earlier that month. He came in armed with two kitchen knives.
The attack occurred when he stabbed a civilian security guard patrolling a road near the Sdei Avraham community, near the borders with Gaza and Egypt.
The security guard was lightly maimed in the attack.
In the sentencing, the judges note the gravity of the incident given that "the accused was aware that the victim was Jewish and stabbed him and tried to kill him out of a nationalistic or ideological motive."
"There is no dispute that fortunately the victim sustained an injury that was defined as minor," the sentencing continues, while pointing out that the reason the security guard was not more seriously maimed was because he "managed to fight back."

[IsraelTimes] The Islamic Resistance® in Iraq says it carried out two attacks against Israeli military positions on Sunday morning.
The Shiite umbrella group of Iran-backed militias says it fired drones at a base in the Golan Heights and another base inside Israel.
There were no reports of dronezaps Sunday morning, though rocket sirens did sound in the Golan Heights at 11 a.m., where one of the bases was located.
The claimed attacks come a week after the group took responsibility for a dronezap on an Eilat naval base. Israel said that drone was "made in Iran" and the attack was "directed by Iran."
[IsraelTimes] The IDF says Nahal Brigade soldiers are still battling Hamas ...not a terrorist organization, even though it kidnaps people, holds hostages, and tries to negotiate by executing them,... button men in the central 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 Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect.

The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... corridor that is the only location where troops remain in the enclave.
The IDF says Nahal troops killed several button men over the past day, including a cell in close-quarters combat.
Troops have withdrawn from the north and south of the Strip, but remain in the so-called Netzarim corridor, a strip of land running from the border with Israel near Be’eri to the coast.
The corridor, built around a road south of Gaza City and north of Nuseirat, enables the IDF to carry out raids in northern and central Gaza while allowing Israel to control access to the north for Paleostinians seeking to return after fleeing south.
The corridor also allows Israel to operate a crossing with nearly direct access to northern Gaza for trucks of humanitarian goods, which are secured by the army while using the artery.
The army says it is continuing to carry out Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... s across the Strip, hitting dozens of targets with fighter jets and drones over the past day.
According to the IDF, the targets included military sites, rocket launchers, tunnel shafts, and other infrastructure
One airstrike also targeted a Hamas cell that posed a threat to ground troops, the IDF says.
Among the sites hit are a building and rocket launcher in Jabaliya in northern Gaza used to fire a rocket at Kfar Aza a day earlier. The rocket was intercepted by the Iron Dome.
A fighter jet also struck a launcher, after troops on a pinpoint raid in the area of Gaza City’s Shejaiya neighborhood came under rocket fire from within the Strip, the military says.
[IsraelTimes] The IDF says a recent airstrike in southern Gaza’s Khan Younis killed a terrorist who participated in the October 7 onslaught.
Also over the past day, the Israeli Air Force struck several sites belonging to terror groups across the Gaza Strip, including buildings, rocket launch positions, and other infrastructure, according to the IDF.
Among the targets were also a building and tunnel shafts adjacent to a launch site used in a rocket attack on Re’im yesterday, the IDF says.
Meanwhile, the IDF says the Nahal Brigade continues to operate in central Gaza, where it says the troops killed several gunmen over the past day in close-quarters combat.
Additional operatives deemed by the troops to be a threat were killed in airstrikes and sniper fire, the IDF adds.
[IsraelTimes] The IDF confirms carrying out a strike in Gaza’s Maghazi camp last night, killing Hatem al-Ghamri, the head of the so-called emergency committee in the central part of the Strip.
The emergency committee is a Hamas body tasked with maintaining public order and civil control in the Strip’s municipalities.
According to the IDF, al-Ghamri, in addition to being head of the emergency committee in the Central Camps, was also an operative in the Hamas military wing, responsible for rocket fire from the Maghazi area.
Palestinian media reported that at least five people were killed in the strike.
[IsraelTimes] IDF says it intercepted missile heading for northern border town; Lebanese man accused of funneling Iranian cash to Hamas found dead; UNIFIL urges diplomatic solution
The Israel Defense Forces said Wednesday it had intercepted a rocket fired from Leb ...an Iranian satrapy currently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers... at the northern border city of Kiryat Shmona, as United Nations ...a lucrative dumping ground for the relatives of dictators and party hacks... peacekeepers stationed along border warned that the ongoing violence between Israel and terror group Hezbollah could dangerously escalate.
The incoming missile was shot down by the Iron Dome air defense system, the IDF said.
Sirens sounded in Kiryat Shmona and nearby communities, though there were no reports of damage or injuries.
The head of the UN peacekeeping force in Lebanon expressed worries that hostilities on the border with Israel will continue to spiral out of control, calling for a diplomatic solution to the conflict.
"The danger of escalation is real," Aroldo Lazaro said in a statement posted by UNIFIL. "There is no military solution to the current confrontation and violence; a political and diplomatic solution is the only way forward."
The statement did not mention Hezbollah’s violations of UN Resolution 1701, which requires that the group’s armed wing not be allowed to operate in southern Lebanon.
One final detail on the story seen here and here yesterday:
#BREAKING: Mohammad Sarur, who was sanctioned by the U.S. government in 2019 for transferring tens of millions of dollars from #IRGCterrorists to #Hamas' Izz-Al-Din Al-Qassam Brigades, was found dead in Beit Mery today. He also liaised with #Hezbollah. It appears Nili continues… pic.twitter.com/eKzhYivE75
… It appears Nili continues its work. Sarur likely provided financing for Hamas' October 7 massacre, as Sarur was in charge of all money transfers from the IRGC's Quds Force to Hamas' military wing?
[Rudaw] The Ottoman Turkish army and its Syrian proxies on Wednesday bombarded positions of Kurdish-led forces near the northern Syrian city of Manbij, a war monitor reported.
"Ottoman Turkish forces bombed with artillery shells positions of the Manbij Military Council near the city of Manbij in eastern Aleppo," said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a Britannia-based war monitor.
The monitor did not mention any casualties as a result of the festivities.
The Manbij Military Council, a local force affiliated with the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), oversees security in Arab-majority Manbij. Security in Kurdish-controlled areas in north and northeast Syria is managed through military councils led by locals to maintain the delicate balance of the region and prevent Arab discontent.
The festivities come amid an increased surge of violence near Manbij between Kurdish-led forces and Ottoman Turkish-backed murderous Moslems, according to SOHR.
The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire... has long viewed strategic Manbij, located at the crossroads connecting Aleppo, Raqqa, and the Kurdish-administered northeast, as a key zone to launch its next military operation to seize northern Syria from Kurdish forces.

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.

The eight dead fighters "worked under the command" of Iran’s Guards and were "slaughtered" using knives, says Rami Abdel Rahman, head of the Britannia-based Observatory, which relies on a network of sources in Syria. It has been accused in the past of inflating corpse count numbers.
Control of Deir Ezzor is split between US-backed Kurdish-led forces to the east of the Euphrates River and Iran-backed Syrian government forces and their proxies to the west, while Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference.

On Monday, the Observatory said button men killed three Syrians who were also working with the Revolutionary Guards, in an attack on a military position on the outskirts of Mayadeen city.

...an Iranian satrapy currently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds.

It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...
