در عصر پادشاهی ناصرالدین شاه قاجار، جدای از مسئله #بحرین، موضوع حاکمیت ایران بر دو جزیره #خارک و #سیری نیز با چالش روبرو شد. در مورد جزیره خارک، دولت انگلیس در ۲۶ ربیع الثانی ۱۲۷۳ جزیره خارک را در اعتراض به تسخیر هرات به وسیله قشون ایران، تصرف کرد.

دولت ایران به شدت به این اشغال اعتراض کرد. اشغال خارک تا پایان جنگ ایران و انگلیس استمرار پیدا کرد؛ ولی پس از صلح بین ایران و انگلیس و انعقاد پیمان پاریس میان این۲ کشور، دولت انگلیس جزیره خارک را تخلیه کرد واز آن پس حاکمیت ایران بر جزیره خارک بدون هرگونه وقفه ادامه پیدا کرد.

A few thoughts about #Ukraine’s case at the #ICJ. Some have already tweeted on this (@OriPomson, @VidigalGeraldo, @amirafarhadi, @niccoloridi and @mabecker17 among others)—here’s my take. ✍🏻

#UkraineRussiaWar #UkraineInvasion

Ukraine’a Application: icj-cij.org/public/files/c…
Apologies in advance for getting all #ICJ on this. 👩🏻‍⚖️

I understand the political decision for making an application to the ICJ. This thread is in no way a judgment of that decision, which is very well founded in the terrible events of the last week especially.
That said, Ukraine has (sadly but realistically) an uphill battle both to obtain the #provisionalmeasures it seeks (link to request below) and in the eventual #preliminaryobjections.

For years, #UAE has been dreaming about occupying #Iranian Islands of Lesser Tunb, Greater Tunb & Abumusa in #PersianGulf. During exercise "Great Propher-17", #IRGC simulated an operation for rapid deployment of its Saberin specal forces to the Islands to counter UAE's invasion.
The first step was to transfer the Saberin special forces of #IRGC Land Forces by Il-76TD and An-74T-200 transport aircraft of #IRGCASF from #Tehran to #Qeshm. You can seen their Towfan MRAPs and other equipment also boarding the Il-76MD/TDs here 👇
In the next stage, Mi-171 transport helicopters of #IRGC Army Aviation escorted by AH-1J Cobra attack helicopters airlifted the Saberin Special Forces of #IRGC Land Forces to Island of Greater Tunb in #PersianGulf.

The secret war on oil smuggling to fund Hezbollah
——————————————
The #smuggling axis and the money laundering- hundreds of millions of dollars that pass through 🇸🇾Syria to the #terrorist organization (#Hezbollah) in 🇱🇧Lebanon. This is how the "oil war" is conducted.
1/25–Part 1
#Iran's oil smuggling into Syria is not a new issue. They have been in place for several years, even before the #Trump administration imposed sanctions on Iran and on Syria.
The question facing Western intelligence was how #Syria pays Iran for the oil it receives. 2/25
As of May2018, when the #Iranians were barred from transferring funds in the international financial system, they had trouble getting the proceeds or payments for the oil they smuggled to China, North Korea, Syria & other countries like Turkey where oil was smuggled inland. 3/25

#Hydronomastics is the study of #hydronyms, the proper names of bodies of water.
