#Iraq
Missiles hit #Erbil airport where #US forces are based and the Bashiqa base occupied by #Turkey. Both are considered occupation forces by the Iraqi resistance, not by Kurdistan local government & #Baghdad central government. Turkey maintains over 20 military bases in Iraq.
A precision missile fired from #Erbil hits a Hashd al-Shaabi position in Bartilla leaving one wounded. The hit came amid an announcement from KRG PM Masrour Barzani that "Militia should leave their position at the limit of Kurdistan", following last night's attack. #Iraq.
An explosion at al-Sadr city east of #Baghdad, #Iraq.

#SaudiArabia declared its #Yemen's "initiative" to the press but never discussed it with the Yemenite.
Saudi did not declare this media-initiative to please the #US administration because Biden's envoy came to #Oman to discuss with Ansar Alllah the advance toward Marib.
To be clear, the #US negotiators were negotiating on behalf of #SaudiArabia, trying to dictate their conditions on Ansar Allah as if the Saudis were winning the war (the reality is the opposite).
Ansar Allah negotiators are aware of the US tactics +
Actually, we see a #US administration leaving and another coming in but they all follow a book in their wars: what is impossible to gain on the ground using military power, is worth trying using sanctions or humanitarian aids to recover the losses.+

#SaudiArabia FM @FaisalbinFarhan to Ansar Allah:

Please stop your attack on Marib and accept the ceasefire before you embarrass us. We have been bombing #Yemen for the last six years and managed to kill only 10s of 1000. Many still to be killed & starve

#SaudiArabia FM @FaisalbinFarhan to Ansar Allah:
Please look positively at the fact that we didn't kill you all. Use common sense, a positive approach & let us forget about our war crimes. Don't bomb our oil because we need to pay @JoeBiden who didn't present his heavy bill yet.
#SaudiArabia FM @FaisalbinFarhan to Ansar Allah:
We have been armed by so many nations around the world and you have been armed by Iran. We totally condemn Iran's support to #Yemen coz it is not fair. We were supposed to kill Yemeni & were thinking they would be sitting ducks.

13 years ago, Imad Mughnieh was unlawfully assassinated in #Damascus. Both the CIA and the Mossad claimed credit. Haj Imad managed to survive for 25 years away from his killers (incl some Arab States) and transformed #Hezbollah to another level of deterrence against #Israel.+
He introduced changes within #Hezbollah structure and was known to be fair with all militants. He has created an innovation sector within Hezbollah and handsomely paid for any qualified person to materialise new ideas related to science, health and military fields.+
During the last year, around 2006-2007, Haj Imad became more visible domestically and regionally. He was the one meeting political and military leaders, including allies and his name became more known as the "assistant of the Jihadi council Leader (Sayyed Nasrallah) +

Don't be surprised if in #Iran & among Iranians living abroad, there is a resistance related to the nuclear deal where many want to show a pragmatic side. Showing an understanding of Western thinking. However, it is also important for the West to understand that there are limits+
#Iran tried your (pragmatic) approach notwithstanding Trump's rejection of the JCPOA and Europe followed suit. We see @JoeBiden admin is manoeuvering thinking there is a room to "enlarge" the deal. Bottom line: no respect of the JCPOA and no immediate lifting of sanctions+
The Iranians living in the West need to understand that no country - only #Iran and #Cuba to name but a few - can hold 41 years under sanctions. It is time for Iran to show determination and bring out its teeth and refuse to be a toothless shark. Otherwise sanctions continue+

Not my style to remind but, for the last 5 months, I have been saying - quoting decision-makers in #Iran - that #Tehran could go full nuclear and reach weapons-grade if the #US abuses of its sanctions & refrain from honouring its commitments & allows EU countries to follow suit.
No leader in the world accepts for his country to remain under harsh sanctions without reacting. It is time for the #US to stop abusing of its power and lift ALL not partial sanctions on #Iran. Removing folkloric sanctions won't work.
#Iran is now convinced that by reaching nuclear weapons-grade, no country in the world would dare to threaten it, without the need to use nuclear weapons, like the +100 that #Israel possess and was about to use in 1973.

Read this, it is my an ongoing investigation:

When the #US unlawfully assassinated #Iran Sardar Qassem Soleimani, the #IRGC cdr was carrying a message to #Iraq PM Adel Abdul Mahdi who also asked him to visit #Baghdad following a direct request of mediation by Donald Trump.+
No doubt that Trump and his team cowardly planned the assassination and created circumstances for a setup to bring Sardar Soleimani to #Iraq, a trip that was not on his schedule.
But above all, Soleimani carried a message from Sayyed Ali Khamenei to #SaudiArabia. +
Is it the rapprochement between #SaudiArabia and #Iran the reason behind assassinating Sardar Soleimani? A normalisation of relationship between #Tehran and #Riyadh certainly damages the #US national interest.+
