Sinjar: Iraq-Syria Border Handed over to PKK, Hashd al-Shaabi
ERBIL — The border areas between Iraq and Syria near the predominantly Yezidi town of Sinjar has been handed over to pro-Iranian militias of Hashd al-Shaabi and the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), an official said.
Sinjar Mayor Mahma Khalil told reporters on Tuesday that the Iraqi government is responsible for the move as it is likely to lead to another phase of unrest in the region.
In a statement made to Anadolu Agency, Khalil expressed concern and said that the Shi’ite militias and PKK forces have replaced the Iraqi army in western Sinjar.
According to the official, Baghdad is adding to the problem instead of finding a solution.
ERBIL — The Islamic State (IS) on Monday regained control of two oilfields in Harijy area northeastern Deir Ezzor, east of Syria.
According to Turkey-based Syrian Qasioun news agency, the IS jihadists recaptured Sayyad and Dahash oilfields after conducting a sudden attack on the Syrian Democratic Forces from Soor village northern Deir Ezzor.
The extremist group previously several times had carried out attacks in hopes of recapturing the oilfields in the area, but failed in all the attempts until Monday, the agency said.
US national security adviser John Bolton acknowledged on July 1 that an important part of the agenda of the upcoming Trump-Putin summit will be for the United States to ask for Russia’s help to oust Iran from Syria. According to Bolton, Washington has accepted that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad will retain power in Syria and now wants to concentrate on convincing Moscow to cut its partnership in Syria with Tehran. In return for Putin’s agreement to help the Americans expel the Iranians from Syria, Trump is reportedly ready to withdraw US forces from the country as well as help the Syrian military regain full control over the southern region along the border with Jordan.
Reacting to these reports, the Iranian press has been quick to speculate that Russia is about to “betray” Iran once again and to use Tehran as a bargaining chip to reach a deal with the United States. Moscow’s reaction to speculation along those lines, however, has been quite unexpected. For instance, Russia has backtracked from its previous position that all foreign forces, including Iranians, must leave Syria. Instead, Russian officials have started to vehemently emphasize the lawful nature of Iran’s presence in Syria. On June 28, Russia’s ambassador to the United Nations, Vassily Nebenzia, called Iran’s presence in Syria “legitimate and undeniable,” stressing, “Nobody can deny the issue, whether they like it or not.” Four days later, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov said that Iran’s presence in Syria is of an advisory nature and fundamentally aimed at fighting terrorism. On July 4, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov called the US and Israeli demands for Iran’s full withdrawal from Syria “absolutely unrealistic.”
Israel softens tone on Assad but threatens Syrian troops near Golan
Israeli Defence Minister Avigdor Lieberman says he cannot rule out 'some kind of relationship' with Syrian government in future
Israel held out the prospect of eventual contacts with Syria under President Bashar al-Assad's rule, in a nod to pro-government forces recapturing most territories held by rebels over the seven-year-old civil war that Israeli officials had initially predicted would topple him.
Russian-backed government forces have advanced in southwest Syria and are on course to reach Quneitra, a rebel-held district abutting the Golan Heights frontier with Israel.
The military campaign has raised Israeli concerns that Damascus may try to deploy troops there in defiance of a 1974 UN demilitarisation accord on the Golan.
Touring the Israeli-occupied Heights on Tuesday, Defence Minister Avigdor Lieberman ramped up threats to use armed force should Damascus's forces encroach.
"Any Syrian soldier who will be in the buffer zone risks his life," Lieberman told reporters.
However, Lieberman appeared to signal acknowledgement that Assad would regain control of the Syrian side of the Golan.
Asked by a reporter if he anticipated a time when the Quneitra crossing would be reopened under the UN-monitored armistice between Israel and Syria, and whether the two old enemies could establish "some kind of relationship", Lieberman said: "I reckon we are a long way from that, but we are not ruling out anything."
>'IRAN MUST EXIT ALL OF SYRIA,' NETANYAHU TELLS PUTIN'S ENVOYS BEFORE TRIP
An Iranian envoy is also set to be in Moscow on Wednesday.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met two senior Russian officials in his office Tuesday and told them Iran must leave all of Syria, just hours before flying to Moscow on Wednesday and a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
According to the Prime Minister’s Office, Netanyahu told Putin’s visiting special envoy Alexander Lavrentiev and Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Vershinin that Israel will not tolerate a military presence by Iran or its proxies anywhere in Syria, and that Damascus must strictly abide by the 1974 Separation of Forces Agreement that followed the 1973 Yom Kippur War.
Pompeo: Russia's attack on Syria a violation of our agreement
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Tuesday that Russia has violated an agreement that it would not advance toward southern Syria since the area had already been designated as a safe zone. "We had an agreement with the Russians that they would not move in the south. There was a de-escalation zone that the Russians had agreed to. They now have clearly violated that," Pompeo said this in an interview with Sky News in Arabic. He also added that the US government is interested in reaching a political agreement regrading Syria.
He makes no sense more than ever, he used to be slightly objective, at least more than now. For instance, he pretends RuAF bombs are the smartest in the world and the US ones are solely civilian seeking, but if you bring up the fact a lot of Mosul civs were not that far removed from ISIS then he'll tend to agree that their lives didn't matter as much anyway, even if he acted butthurt about their deaths before. Plus his comparison last thread between the bombing of the cities discussed was fucking retarded, not even comparable.

How the U.S and Russia negotiate a solution for plutonium disposal
The upcoming summit between President Donald Trump and President Vladimir Putin holds great promise. Many are hoping that Mr. Trump scolds the Russian leader about his cyber tactics or his Syrian policy, but I think there is much more at stake.
While most of the country has no clue that a large plutonium disposal facility is being built just over the Georgia-South Carolina state line at the Department of Energy’s Savannah River Site, Mr. Putin is well aware of it and knows it is on the chopping block
The little-known facility began because the U.S. and Russia signed an agreement back in 2000 for our two countries to mutually destroy 68 metric tons of surplus weapons-grade plutonium, the equivalent of 17,000 nuclear weapons. That’s not a typo. These weapons contain high grade plutonium — a material that terrorists and rogue nations like the Taliban, ISIS and Iran would love to have.
Since information about how to build nuclear weapons is widely available on the Internet the primary obstacle to preventing this from happening is the lack of access to weapons-grade materials — plutonium and highly enriched uranium. During the Cold War, Russia and the United States built up a stockpile of tens of thousands of nuclear

True, but most accept civilian deaths and joke about them more often than not, as opposed to getting bleeding heart butthurt about them. Anyways later m8, thanks for the news.

I think admin come from time to time to actually ban him. And same as with Urduni, there is no much help when he is persistent, maybe even more so than Urduni.
>sometimes I feel that way every time he posts here. Outside of a small group of super autists on Jow Forums he must genuinely be one of the most pathetic people to post on this site. He doesn't even get any (You)'s.
Anyways it's kind of funny to see ISIS make some gains.
HAHAHA! I bet none of you Nazi larpers could ever get your fat asses away from your keyboards to do this. And you all think you're going to win when shit hits the fan.
>"Ideological and ex-soldiers. We were sharing our perspective on revolution with the military guys, and they were giving us training and advice. It was beautiful to watch" Imagine fighting in a war while having to listen to the political opinions of some basedboy.
This is important because if he actually does fullfill it it basically creates an autonomous Native American state in Southern Mexico and also basically Nullifies NAFTA inside said zone
The government cuts the internet every other day for this period from 6 to like 8 or sometimes 9 because the exam questions gets leaked every time and the students share them kek.
