Arab nationalists have staged a coup in Iraq- four pro-German Colonels, "the Golden Square", have overthrown British-supported Regent of Iraq 'Abd al-Ilah.
Anti-British Iraqi soldiers, captors of Baghdad, have declared a "National Defence Government" led by Colonel Rashid Ali (secretly backed by Nazi money & offers of German military support).
Deposed ruler of Iraq al-Ilah (Regent to the young Iraqi King) has fled from the military coup- he flew to Basra last night, now safe aboard British warship HMS Cockchafer.

Codebreakers at Britain's Bletchley Park have cracked a single signal from Italian Navy- three days to a major attack. Working flat-out to decode more & discover location.
Italians use Enigma cipher machines, gifts from their German allies, making their signals "impossible to decrypt"- so they believe.
Codebreakers at UK's Bletchley Park have decrypted orders from Italian fleet in Mediterranean: they plan to sink a British convoy tomorrow. If Royal Navy fleet at Alexandria strikes now, they can ambush Italian ships enroute.

In Egypt, 30,000 British & Commonwealth troops are advancing deep into the desert- ready for a surprise attack on Italian invaders.
Allied forces hiding in no-man's land of the Egyptian desert; windscreens removed from vehicles so no Italian reconnaissance will spot tell-tale sun-glare.
30,000 Allied troops in Egyptian desert finally told they are not on an exercise. Tomorrow they attack Italian forts: huge raid, codenamed Compass.

Hitler has called an emergency council with top German commanders, to decide whether to continue with Operation Sea Lion, planned invasion of Britain.
Hitler: "The efforts of the Luftwaffe are beyond praise- but we cannot bring England to her knees. We must be sure of successful invasion."
Operation Sea Lion is scheduled for 17 September, before autumn storms begin. By then, the Royal Air Force must be destroyed- next 3 days are Hitler's last hope for invasion of Britain.

THREAD: On the 16th anniversay of the war in #Iraq, I want to make today as uncomfortable as possible for people who cheerlead & supported the disastrous War and ignored the rest of us, who protested, marched in the streets & loudly warned of its violent, bloody consequences. 1/
Protests against the Iraq War began in 2002. I took part as a UC Berkeley student. On Feb 15, 2003, there were a mass protest in over 600 cities around the world. Millions came out. We didn’t have “access” or “insider info.” We all new the war was a sin from the start. 2/
Hans Blinx, the UN weapons inspector, said Iraq had no weapons of mass destruction, no “mobile laboratories.” There were 700 inspections. 700! He asked/begged Bush not to do a pre-emptive strike and invasion. He was ignored. 3/

When the #NSA discovered that #Iran may have been buying computer chips from the #UnitedStates routing them through a U.S. ally
&
Potentially supplying them to detonate #bombs against U.S. forces in Iraq & #Afghanistan
It credited so-called economic intelligence with the find.
The solution wasn't a death blow delivered by the #military but rather a new regulation on the export of certain #technologies via the #CommerceDepartment which the #NSA said would end up “saving #American & coalition lives.”

#Iraq Hashd al-Shaabi attacked #ISIS in Baghuz, disregarding #US recommendation to keep away from the #Syrian borders.

Iraqi counterterrorism leaders believe the US officials would like to see #ISIS in the area to stop the reopening of albu Kamal crossing between #Syria & Iraq.
Hashd commanders said two #ISIS commanders abu Sayyaf and Abu Leith were killed during the #Iraq/i bombing.

#Khashoggi Case Thread: I am going to ‘pin’ this post to use it as an ‘Info Thread’ on the #Khashoggi Case. I am in #Turkey. I’ve been following the case closely and with access to sources & experts here. This is a very ‘sensitive’ criminal case due to ‘Diplomatic Booby Traps’!!!
The Evidence Obtained Outside Cameras will not show any evidence of ‘tempering’ but other than license plates of dozens of diplomatic cars (Many with tinted windows-large trunks) with related time stamp, drivers Info, model/year: Nothing.
#Turkish Intel-Investigative Bodies also have the list of all Diplomatic & Private Saudi & “other significant’ Planes in #Turkey for the period of ‘interest.’ Many of the Target airports have their own security cameras & related evidence.

Iraq's International Federal Police confiscates 31 boxes containing hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash en route from #Iran to #Iraq in support of Hadi al-Ameri, head of the Tehran proxy Badr Organization.
#Iraq activists say this is outside the country's parliament only days before the May 12th general election

People chanting:
"#Iran, out, out" & something against IRGC Quds Force chief Qassem Suleimani

(Can anyone provide more info? Thanks in advance)
#Iraq general election posters (scheduled for Saturday) put up in Isfahan, #Iran.

Millions are living in poverty across Iran, and yet the regime spends money on such ridiculous causes for another country.

Shows how Tehran's influence in Iraq is considered vital for the mullahs.
