The spread of protests in Iraq .. Charges of Tehran involvement after clashes

14 hours ago

An atmosphere of confusion prevails in the political and political circles

NRT

The spread of demonstrations on Saturday to include other provinces in Iraq, including the province of Karbala as demonstrators stormed late on Tuesday night the building of the province, amid accusations of Iran involved in the movement of demonstrators in Iraq.

The Iraqi political and political circles were confused yesterday because of the inability to identify clear leaderships for the demonstrators. Attempts to hold meetings with tribal leaders to stop the demonstrations did not stop .

There were questions about the map of the institutions targeted by the demonstrators, a map different from previous demonstrations, including oil companies and ports of the south and border crossings and airports, in addition to the homes of local officials and governors .

A number of activists in the demonstrations said there was no coordination among the groups in the cities, and that each march chose its objectives. The aim of focusing on the main interests seems to be to embarrass the government and force it to take action .

As the government approved a national security meeting to take action against the expansion of demonstrations, including the deployment of forces to protect official facilities, cut off the Internet to prevent communication between protesters, and to issue orders to confront those who were called "marchers in the ranks of demonstrators" who expand the circle of burning and vandalism, It starts in the evening until dawn, as happened in Najaf yesterday .

The security leaders reveal that the concern reached its peak with the spread of calls to a major demonstration in Baghdad last night .

In the absence of contacts between the security leaders and the organizers of demonstrations, as was the case in the rallies of the Sadrists and civil forces, security leaders do not know "who is facing ."

Despite the accusations of involvement of Iran through a number of supporters in Iraq to move the demonstrations, the night of clashes erupted in Najaf, between demonstrators and elements of Asaib Ahl al-Haq armed group close to Iran, against the attack of demonstrators based .

The delegation representing the leader of the Sadrist movement Moqtada al-Sadr arrived in Basra yesterday morning, to receive the demands of the demonstrators, which sparked criticism on social networking sites for what was considered an attempt by parties to "ride the wave of demonstrations ."

MThe US-led Coalition against ISIS, Washington and Russia all demand the mullahs regime to leave powe

 

 

The US-led Coalition against ISIS, Washington and Russia all demand the mullahs regime to leave power, amid full disregard from Iran.

 It is expected that air strikes and intensive shelling will be waged on the gatherings of Iran-affiliated militia during the coming period.
The commander of special operations of the US Coalition for Combating ISIS Major-General James Gerrard said that the coalition forces will remain in Syria pending the completion of the political process there. 
Iran's terrorist role
According to a report published on Al Al-Arabiya.net, Gerrard warned of the role currently played by Iran in Syria doesn't help foster stability.

He added, "We are confident that Iran backs terrorism in Syria in order to ignite violence there.These Iranian practices only aimed at hindering achieving peace and stability in Syria. 

The senior military official confirmed that the war against ISIS terrorist group hasn't ended yet, even in the areas liberated by the Syrian Democratic Force) (SDF). 
He announced the US-led coalition will stay in Syria until the complete clearance of those liberated areas.
We are fully aware that our war against ISIS hasn't ended yet, despite the liberation of some areas by the Syrian democratic forces, Gerrard added.

He pointed out that Syria is still facing the specter of terrorism, so we will remain here until reaching political settlement backed by the Syrian people.

We are here in Syria to achieve stability and carry out training drills to the internal security forces in north-eastern areas in Syria to ensure that the threat of ISIS will never come back again, Gerrard added.
He added that there are other parties seeking to spoil the relationship between the US-led Coalition against ISIS, noting those parties are doing their best to destroy this relationship.


Iranian militias won't leave Syria  
In the same vein, Iran reiterated that it will maintain its military forces in Syria, despite the opposition of its ally, Russia, which called for expelling The Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and all its allied militias from Syria.

 Hossein Amir Abdollahian, Special Aide to Iranian Parliament Speaker for International Affairs, said that the so-called Iranian military advisers will remain in Syria under the pretext of "combating terrorism," although the lack of Iran's reasons to stay in Syria, especially after the ISIS 's defeat by the US-led Coalition defeated in Syria.

According to Fars News Agency, Abdollahian, during his meeting with the Palestinian ambassador to Tehran Salah al-Zawawi, said that his country would continue its firm support for the Iranian pro-militias in the region.

A big number of The Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC)-affiliated officers has been killed in Syria in recent days, including expert Mohammed Ibrahim Rashidi, 32, who was killed by a landmine on the road between Palmyra - Deir ez-Zor.

Two weeks earlier, Iran lost another Iranian IRGC commander, Brig. Shahruj Daye, who was responsible for the Iranian forces in Aleppo, its suburbs and neighboring northern provinces.
Following Russia's announcement to withdraw its forces and militias from Syria, Iranian forces have become open targets for the US-led coalition and Israeli air forces. 

In recent weeks, Iran has been subjected to several raids in different areas, in which, dozens of its Iranian militias have lost their lives amid deadly silence by the Iranian media.
Observers said that the coming period will witness further air raids against the Iranian militias in Syria."Presence of the Iranian militia is no longer bearable or acceptable."
