TEHRAN– People’s Republic of China in its reaction to the US airstrikes on Friday in Iraq, which led to the martyrdom of IRGC Commander of Quds Force General Ghasem Soleimani, called for respecting the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Iraq.

Geng Shuang, the Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson, said at a daily briefing: “we attach high importance to the recent incidents. China has always opposed the use of forces in the international relations, and advocates that all parties should practically abide by the purpose and principle of UN Charter and basic norm of international relations."

"The sovereignty and territorial integrity of Iraq should be respected, and the peace and stability in the Middle East and Gulf area should be maintained," he added.

"We urge all the relevant parties, especially the US, to exercise restraint and prevent the escalation of the tensions.”

I can't get mad at Kaepernick because it's like getting angry at a confused child. Have you ever heard him debate? No, because he's woefully unknowledgeable, and he's aware he doesn't know anything, so he avoids challenges and debates. Back when he told Nike to remove the Betsy Ross flag, MLK's niece said Kaepernick doesn't even know who Betsy Ross is. And she's right, or else he'd know Ross was an abolitionist. Until now, he probably thought Iran was a song by Flock of Seagulls. If you had asked him "Where is Iran?" he'd point to the 49'ers end zone. It's no mystery why his own mother publicly stated her embarrassment of him. He's seriously the dumbest left wing radical since those Weather Underground idiots from the 60's who blew themselves up making bombs. It's too bad he wasn't around back then to join them.

American documents reveal Khazali's betrayal of Iran years ago

January 05, 2020
 
From right to left: Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, Qais al-Khazali, Qasim Soleimani

Although the leader of the Asa’ib al-Haq movement, Qais Khazali, is considered a close associate of Tehran, which has long supplied his militias with weapons and training, American investigations during Khazali’s arrest years ago reveal shocking and different facts about Iran's close friend.

Khazali, who was arrested in 2007 by US forces, revealed important information and information about the process of training Iraqi militias by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, and how support for these militias arrived, as well as the names of Iranian officers and a training camp in Iran, as well as information about his relationship with the commander of the Quds Force In the Revolutionary Guard, Qassem Soleimani, and the leader of the Popular Mobilization, Abu al-Mahdi al-Muhandis.

On March 20, 2007, Khazali was arrested by the MNF-I, but he was released in January 2010, as part of a prisoner exchange deal.

Al-Khazali was arrested on “background on suspicion of leading anti-multinational forces in Iraq led by the United States, his association with arms smuggling from Iran, extrajudicial killings, and his involvement in the storming of the Karbala Provincial Council (in 2007).” Which removed the US Central Command "Centcom" from its secrecy in 2018.

The investigations revealed by "Syntcom", show great cooperation by Khazali, who provided information during the first investigation session, about the form of cooperation between Shiite militias and the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, training methods and the names of Iranian officers.

Details of Iranian support for the militias

Khazali said during the investigations that members of the Mahdi Army led by Iraqi politician and cleric Moqtada al-Sadr and members of "special groups" or what is known as "Khamenei's groups" had received military training and support from Iranian sources, in addition to members of the Badr Organization receiving training in Iran.

The special groups mentioned in the investigations are "special groups" that the American army gave to Shiite militias that operate inside Iraq and are supported by Iran, such as the Hezbollah Brigades in Iraq.

Investigations added that "the detainee (Khazali) did not know whether the groups of Khamenei or the Sadrist movement were working with the Badr Organization or not .. And because of the Iranian awareness of the transportation and facilitation lines for training groups in Iraq, all communications between the two parties were at the minimum, while Most communicate personally. "

Al-Khazali said during the investigations that he met two of the five IRGC Iranian officers who were helping to facilitate the training of Iraqi armed groups. Khazali revealed to the investigators the names of these officers, in addition to details about the training process.

Khazali also revealed to American investigators the name of a training camp for Iraqi groups called "Imam Khamenei Camp," out of three camps north of Tehran. The investigations showed that the training supervisors in these camps are all Iranians who speak Farsi, and their instructions are translated into Arabic.

In another investigation session, Khazali said that he “heard six months ago that Hezbollah Brigades soldiers went to Iran to receive training to help the rebels in a war in Iraq,” and (Khazali) was not sure if they had attended one of the Iranian training camps that He knows her, "says the investigation.

Qassem Soleimani and Abu Al Mahdi Al Mohandes

In an investigation session on March 28, 2007, Khazali mentioned information about Qasim Soleimani, who was killed in a US air strike on Friday, but the US Department of Defense did not disclose details of the information that Khazali disclosed.

Khazali also disclosed information about the deputy head of the Popular Mobilization Authority, Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, at an investigation session on April 4, 2007, where he said that the engineer had strong ties with Iran, and that even his loyalty to Iran, his family lived there, and had been a commander in the Mahdi Army for several years.

Khazali explained to the American investigators the nature of the relationship between the engineer and the Badr Organization that he headed and the Mahdi Army, describing it as "the longer the period and the greater the military rank among these groups, the more difficult it is to leave completely."

Al-Khazali insulted in the investigations that the engineer could use his relations with Iran or the Badr Organization to harm the parliament (being a future parliamentarian), since as far as he described "one person, he could not make a difference."

Khazali explained that there are many likes of the engineer in the Iraqi government, who have strong and deep relations with Iran.

It is reported that after the killing of the engineer Rifka Soleimani in the American raid, Khazali pledged in a leaked video of revenge against the Americans.

A specialist in Iraqi affairs familiar with the content of the investigations told Al-Hurra, that Khazali in these investigations revealed to the American investigators a large and important amount of information regarding cooperation between Iran and armed militias known as special groups.

The researcher, who spoke on the condition of confidentiality, added that the information that Khazali disclosed to the Americans from an Iranian point of view is "betrayal", because Khazali "attended the Sadrist movement's meetings with Iran at the beginning of the period of Shiite factions resisting against the United States."

The researcher explained that many of those who Khazali spoke about in the investigations had been captured by the United States, so any information that Khazali gave to the United States was "a violation of the charter that Khazali made to himself in front of his comrades. Khazali was providing a window for the Americans to see information that is difficult to access." .

The researcher explained that Khazali gave information about "the weaknesses of the Iranian influence in Iraq and how to confront it. Khazali began providing this information from the first investigation session on March 21, 2007, that is, after his arrest a day."

Khazali against Iranian influence

It appears from the investigations that although Khazali refused to disclose information about his friends or colleagues, he did not refrain from providing information regarding Moqtada al-Sadr, Abbas al-Kofi, and the Iranians working with Iraqi militias.

The text of the investigations said, "Although the detainee (Khazali) accepted Iranian support, he now blatantly rejects the Iranians. The detainee is against Moqtada al-Sadr completely. The detainee has two aggressions: Iran and Moqtada al-Sadr."

The investigations added that "the detainee (Khazali) will use his position and influence to oppose the Iranians, and he will use special groups to oppose Iranian activities."

"The detainee said that he would benefit from private groups to confront Iranian activities, and would prevent Iran from using the groups to achieve their interests and goals, and the detainee (Khazali) expressed his hope to work with the Americans to counter Iranian influence," according to the text of the investigations conducted in May 5, 2007.

Hackers publish on the US government website "a message from Iran"

SHARE THE ARTICLE:

 
 

Baghdad / National News Center

A group of hackers, claiming to be Iranians, managed to hack into a website of the American government and published a message threatening the administration of President Donald Trump, with retaliation for the assassination of Iranian General Qassem Soleimani.

The hackers who reported that they belonged to the "Iran Cyber Security Group" on the FDLP homepage, posted a picture of US President Donald Trump receiving a blow in the face with the fist of a person dressed as the Revolutionary Guards, and Iranian missiles flying against the background of the East Map Middle.

The hackers stated in a text accompanying this picture that "martyrdom was a reward for Soleimani for years of stubborn efforts," vowing that "these endeavors will not stop after his death" and "harsh retaliation awaits those criminals who have stained their dirty hands with his blood and other martyrs."

 

The hackers also posted on the site a message from the Islamic Republic of Iran, accompanied by a photo of Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, stating that Tehran “will not abandon its friends in the region,” including “oppressed peoples” in Palestine, Yemen, Syria, Iraq, Lebanon and Bahrain.

Soleimani's death ... Baghdad summons the American ambassador and receives a protest note

January 05, 2020

The Iraqi Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced on Sunday that it summoned the American ambassador to Iraq to deliver a memorandum of protest against the implementation of an air strike that killed the commander of the Quds Force in the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, Qassem Soleimani, and the leader of the Iraqi Hizbullah militia militia Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis.

The letter also included Baghdad's protest against a raid on the base of a pro-Iranian faction on December 27, which killed 25 members of the Hezbollah Brigades militia.

The ministry said in a statement that it had informed Ambassador Matthew Tooler that "these unlawful military operations carried out by the United States are an attack and a condemned act that increases the tension in the region."

And Saturday, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo described the "Hezbollah Brigades", the pro-Iranian Iraqi faction within the PMF, as "thugs."

"The thugs of the Hezbollah Brigades tell the Iraqi security forces to give up their duty to protect the United States embassy in Baghdad and other locations where Americans work side by side with the good Iraqi people," Pompeo wrote on Twitter.

"For the Iranian regime to tell the Iraqi government what it must do," Pompeo said, "is something that endangers the lives of Iraqis."

The American minister stressed that "the Iraqi people would like to be free from Iranian slavery, setting the example of Iraqis burning an Iranian consulate recently.

On Sunday, the Iraqi parliament is discussing a project to end the security agreement with the United States. Concurrently, the international coalition announced the suspension of operations to train Iraqi forces, but affirmed the commitment to protect the ethnic bases hosting the coalition forces.

In the past two months, attacks on American interests in Iraq have escalated to 13, targeting with a special voice military bases. Washington accuses factions loyal to Iran of being behind the attacks.

Iranian MP threatens to 'attack the White House': report

By Ronn Blitzer | Fox News

 

Iranian militia proxies pose threat in wake of Soleimani killing

Reaction from Fox News foreign affairs analyst Walid Phares.

Iranian MP Abolfazl Abutorabi has reportedly threatened to attack the White House in response to a message from President Trump that promised severe consequences if the Islamic nation escalates hostilities with the U.S.

Abutorabi was respondeing to a question about how Iran should react to the death of Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani during an American airstrike, The Independent reported.

TRUMP WARNS IRAN: US HAS TARGETED ’52 IRANIAN SITES’ AND WILL ‘HIT VERY FAST AND VERY HARD’ IF NEEDED

"We can attack the White House itself, we can respond to them on the American soil. We have the power, and God willing we will respond in an appropriate time," Abutorabi said according to the UK publication, which cited Iranian news agency ILNA.

Abutorabi called Soleimani's death "a declaration of war," and that a swift, strong response was necessary.

"When someone declares war, do you want to respond to the bullets with flowers? They will shoot you in the head," he said.

Following Soleimani's death, Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said "harsh retaliation is waiting for the criminals whose filthy hands spilled his blood." Iranian President Hassan Rouhani also promised to "take revenge for this heinous crime."

The Independent's international correspondent,Borzou Daragahi doubted the likelihood of an attack on U.S. soil, noting that Abutorabi was known for inflammatory language and that Iran does not necessarily have the military capabilities of striking the U.S. with missiles.

Over the weekend, President Trump issued a severe threat of his own, claiming that he has "52 Iranian sites" in mind as potential targets should Iran take any further action.

Elizabeth Warren has accused President Donald Trump of ordering strikes on Iran and taking the country to the edge of war to distract from his impeachment trial, as Democrats slam the president as a 'monster' for threatening to commit potential war crimes against the Middle Eastern country. 

 

Speaking on Meet the Press Sunday morning, Warren alluded that Trump may be charging the US into a war in a rage over his impending impeachment trial. 

'We know Donald Trump is very upset about this upcoming impeachment trial. But look at what he's doing now. He is taking us to the edge of war,' the Democratic hopeful said.

'We've been at year for 20 years in the Middle East and now he's talking about expanding that war. This has been something that has cost thousands of American lives...The job of the president is to keep us safer. The job of the president is not to move us to the edge of war,' she added. 

 
On Saturday Warren, along with Democrat figures like Joe Biden and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, decried the president for his Saturday tweet threatening to commit potential war crimes by targeting 52 Iranian sites, many of them culturally important, in response to potential retaliation over the U.S. killing of Iranian General Qassem Soleimani.

Iran threatens the WHITE HOUSE: Tehran ups the ante by promising a 'crushing and powerful retaliation on American soil' and US military sites and calls Donald Trump a 'terrorist in a suit' for saying he will attack 52 Iranian targets

  • Iranian MP Abolfazl Abutorabi threatened to attack White House during open session of parliament Sunday 
  • 'We can attack the White House itself, we can respond to them on the American soil,' Abutorabi said in session
  • MP's threat came after Trump warned that US would hit 52 targets representing victims of Iran hostage crisis
  • Iran also threatened to hit 35 American targets in region, including US ships, following top general's death  
  • Iranian officials and Qassem Soleimani's supporters have vowed vengeance for his death in US strike Friday  
  • His body was returned to Iran early Sunday to chants of 'Death to America' ahead of a three-day funeral 
  • Iranians raised the blood-red 'flags of revenge' over the minarets at the revered Jamkaran Mosque   
  • Thousands of US paratroopers from the 82 Airborne Division continue to deploy to the Middle East

'We can attack the White House itself, we can respond to them on the American soil. We have the power, and God willing we will respond in an appropriate time,' Iranian MP Abolfazl Abutorabi (pictured) 

Iran has threatened to attack the White House in response to Donald Trump's warning that any strike on American interests in the region will bring massive retaliation as Iranian leaders brand the president a 'terrorist in a suit'.

'We can attack the White House itself, we can respond to them on the American soil. We have the power, and God willing we will respond in an appropriate time,' said Iranian MP Abolfazl Abutorabi, according to the Iranian Labour News Agency.

Abutorabi went on to say that 'this is a declaration of war, which means if you hesitate you lose'.

'When someone declares war do you want to respond to the bullets with flowers? They will shoot you in the head,' he added. 

Abutorabi's threat was made during an open session of parliament in Tehran, Iran, on Sunday, and just days after Iranian military commander Qassem Soleimani, the architect of Tehran's overseas clandestine and military operations as head of the Revolutionary Guards' Quds Force, was killed on Friday in a US drone strike on his convoy at Baghdad airport. 

Following massive funeral marches in Iraq, Soleimani's body was flown to the city of Ahvaz in southwest Iran on Sunday. 

Video from the scene shows a casket wrapped in an Iranian flag being unloaded from a plane as a military band plays and the crowd angrily chanted 'Death to America'.

On Saturday, Revolutionary Guards commander Major General Hossein Salami promised 'a strategic revenge which will definitely put an end to the US presence in the region'.  

However, Trump threatened to hit 52 critical targets in Iran in retaliation if Tehran strikes any American interests in the region. He upped the stakes after Iran said it had identified 35 targets for potential strikes and raised its red 'flags of revenge' over a key mosque.
