🇮🇱🇵🇸 🌍 Which regions are affected by the Israeli-Palestinian conflict?
The Israeli-Palestinian conflict that started a month ago has undoubtedly had an impact on other regions in the Greater Middle East. These regions house pro-Iranian groups and Western targets.
In our infographics, we have included all documented cases of attacks, shelling, statements, and other actions that have taken place in the target countries. Among these countries, Syria stands out due to its geographical location. It is the only country where retaliatory strikes have been launched against the positions of pro-Iranian groups. We are not considering Lebanon in this context, as local groups directly participate in the conflict.
❗️However, upon closer examination, it becomes apparent that the actions of pro-Iranian groups have failed to cause any significant damage and are primarily aimed at achieving PR goals.
Moreover, the only tangible outcome of these actions has been the reinforcement of US Armed Forces in the Middle East region and an increased burden on the US military-industrial complex with new orders.

🇸🇾🇹🇷 Iran reports that units of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) have allegedly shot down a Turkish Aksungur drone in northern Iraq.
Considering this information, it is highly likely that the Turks were either preparing to launch further attacks on the PKK or had already struck Kurdish positions.
During airstrikes, Turkish UAVs, including Aksungur and Akıncı, assist Turkish aircraft in targeting, operating directly over the PKK's area of presence.
🔻However, something else is worth noting: Aksungur typically operates at an altitude of at least 6000 meters (the equipment and engine easily allow for this). The fact that the Kurds managed to shoot it down suggests either the presence of more advanced air defense systems within the PKK or the UAV descending into the range of MANPADS.
Either way, this event once again highlights the ineffectiveness of Turkish tactics in Syria and Iraq. Despite their efforts to strike Kurdish positions, they have been unable to significantly diminish their combat capabilities.

🇮🇱🇸🇾🇺🇸 About the Strikes of the US and Israeli Air Forces in Syria Syria continues to be a hotspot of events, with the Russian Aerospace Forces targeting pro-Turkish formations and the Turks attacking the Kurds in the north. Recently, both the Israelis and the Americans conducted targeted operations.
🔻On the night of November 7-8, four Israeli Air Force F-16I fighters from Ramon Air Base launched eight guided missiles from Lebanese airspace at targets in southwestern Syria. The guidance for the operation was provided by two Heron-1 UAVs from Palmachim Air Base, operating over the Golan Heights. It is worth noting that out of the eight missiles launched, only one was intercepted by Syrian air defense systems. Four missiles targeted electronic jamming stations in the provinces of Damascus and Es-Suwayda, one destroyed an antenna from the GYL-1 radar, and two struck a building belonging to pro-Iranian groups near Damascus. Despite their engagement in the Gaza Strip, the Israelis continue to carry out strikes in Syrian territory. Their focus is not only on countering Iranian forces at their borders but also on neutralizing the Syrian Armed Forces' air defense capabilities. This is evident from the destruction of electronic warfare and air defense systems.
🔻On the night of November 8-9, the Americans deployed a pair of F-15s and F-16s from Al-Salti airbase in Jordan to the Al Bukamal border crossing. They targeted Iranian proxy warehouses in the east of Deir ez-Zor and near Al Mayadin in response to attacks by Shiite groups on American bases in the Al-Omar and Koniko oil fields. The surveillance for this operation was conducted by two Reapers from the same base. It is important to note that these strikes on pro-Iranian groups should not be seen as a step towards further escalation. At this stage, they can be viewed as a means of maintaining a desired level of tension through mutual attacks.

Remember the Mossad Agent @Elizrael? Remember how she worked with terrorists in #Syria to wreak havoc in the country?
Remember how she went missing in #Iraq after she had met multiple times with Muqatada Sadr people whom she was working with to start a "new project in Iraq" ?
Well, Iraqi Rabiaa TV broadcasted the confessions of the Zionist Israeli prisoner Elizabeth Tsurkov in Iraq and how she organized demonstrations and tried to create a Shiite-Shiite conflict in Iraq.

🇮🇶🇹🇷 Turkish Armed Forces Conduct Landing Operation in Iraq
In addition to their activities in the Mediterranean, the Turkish Armed Forces carried out a combined attack in northern Iraq last night, targeting positions of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK).
▪️ Initially, Bayraktar drones from the Van airbase and Akıncı drones from Batman launched an attack on PKK strongholds northwest of Dahuk. This resulted in the elimination of several PKK members and the destruction of a stronghold.
▪️ Subsequently, a pair of F-16C/D fighters took off from a base in Diyarbakir and attacked Kurdish positions northeast of Dohuk, dropping two guided bombs. An E-7T AWACS aircraft provided air support.
▪️ An hour later, approximately 30 personnel from the Commando mountain brigade of the Turkish army were landed in the area from two AS-532 transport helicopters to assess the results and gather intelligence.
🔻 Under the cover of T-129 Atak attack helicopters and three Akynji UAVs, the servicemen conducted reconnaissance of the area before returning. This operation indicates that Ankara is preparing to increase its activity in Iraq and possibly in Syria as well. Moreover, such a landing allows the Turkish army to evaluate its capabilities and assess the strength of the Kurdish opposition.

🇮🇶🇮 🇷🇺 🇸 And Iraq, as it was the center of gravity of conflicts, remains so, however, like Syria. In addition to regular strikes by the Turkish Air Force in the north and shelling of pro-Iranian groups, American aviation has become more active with renewed vigor.
🔻Since the intensification of attacks by Shiite formations on American bases in Iraq , MQ-1C drones from the Es-Salem airbase, as well as E-11A combat control aircraft from Saudi Arabia, have again begun to fly in batches.
With the entry of the aircraft carrier Dwight Eisenhower into the Persian Gulf in Iraq, as during active battles with the Islamic State, carrier-based F/A-18 fighters resumed flights, which recently carried out several strikes on the outskirts of Kirkuk.
❗️And today, for the first time in a long time, an RC-135V electronic reconnaissance aircraft from Al-Udeid airbase patrolled the border area with Syria from Jordan to the very north of Iraq, probably observing pro-Iranian formations.
Given this and the intensity of aviation activity, in the near future we should certainly expect attacks by American troops on the positions of paramilitary groups affiliated with Iran in Iraq and Syria.

🇮🇶🇸🇾🇹🇷 Turkish troops are continuing their operations in Syria and Iraq. Currently, there are no conditions for the start of the ground phase, and their activities in the border areas mainly consist of regular artillery attacks on the strongholds and positions of Kurdish groups.
🔻In northern Syria, the Turks have reduced their use of artillery in recent days. Near Manbij, Turkish troops targeted several strongholds of the Syrian Democratic Forces.
However, the intensity of these attacks has decreased. This is likely because the Turkish Armed Forces have been rotating their units since December 13. Just two days ago, 196 military personnel arrived in the occupied territories, and the rest are expected to be replaced by December 18.
🔻In Iraq, the situation is different: there has been an increase in missile attacks on the northern regions. Over the past five days, Turkish aircraft, including fighters and drones, have conducted four operations to target PKK hideouts.
It cannot be said that the effectiveness of the Turkish actions has increased in any way. However, it has been noted that they do not require this. Under the pretext of counter-terrorism, the Turks have tested four types of ammunition from the Akıncı, namely Teber-82, MAM-T, MAM-L, and MAM-S.

🇮🇶🇮🇷🇸🇾🇺🇸 To fully comprehend the gravity of the American response to strikes and attacks by fighters of the Ansarallah movement in Yemen, it is necessary to examine the situation in Syria and Iraq, where US military bases are frequently targeted by pro-Iranian forces.
📌 Since October 17, Shiite militias have targeted American military facilities more than 108 times. These facilities, numbering over ten units, have been attacked using drones, homemade rocket launchers, and ballistic missiles.
We have witnessed firsthand the US response to these attacks. While the airstrikes were more powerful in the face of greater damage, they did not critically impact the pro-Iranian groups in the region. In some instances, the Shiites killed several Americans, and in response, the US Armed Forces eliminated their adversaries. That was the extent of it.
Therefore, in the case of Yemen and specifically the Houthis, even a massive missile strike on Ansarallah targets will not significantly affect the capabilities of the Houthis. It will only provide a motive to retaliate against the coalition, setting off an endless cycle of "retaliation strikes."

🇮🇶🇮🇷🇸🇾🇺🇸 About the new phase of the struggle of the "Islamic resistance"
A new round of confrontation between the US Armed Forces and pro-Iranian groups has occurred in Syria and Iraq.
▪️ Last evening, units of Kataib Sayyid al-Shuhada attacked the Conoco base in the Syrian Trans-Euphrates region (Deir ez-Zor province).
▪️ In response, several American MQ-9A Reaper and MQ-1C drones, taking off from the Al-Salem airbase in Kuwait, headed towards the Al-Bukamal-Al-Qaim border crossing in Al-Anbar province and Baghdad.
▪️ One strike hit a Shiite militia base in Jurf al-Sahar, south of the Iraqi capital. Several people died.
▪️ Two UAVs, bypassing Rusafa, flew to Al-Sikka in the Al-Qaim district: an aerial bomb hit pro-Iranian forces.
📌This operation is not extraordinary: it is a typical exchange of blows between the conflicting parties. The reaction from the proxy was predictable: the US military base Conoco was fired upon again.
❗️However, official representatives of the Shiite group have announced that the second phase of operations is beginning, which will include attacks on Israel's port infrastructure.
The distance from the traditional areas where pro-Iranian forces are present to Haifa is about 600 km and a little more to Eilat. With the presence of Iranian weapons, they can easily reach these targets, which will create additional problems for the ultra-Orthodox rule in Israel.

❗️🇮🇶🇸🇾🇺🇸 Tonight, the group known as the "Islamic Resistance in Syria and Iraq," along with factions of the Iraqi militia "Al-Hashd al-Shaabi" (which is mainly composed of pro-Iranian forces), may initiate a new phase of the war against the American contingent in the Middle East.
According to reports, following the murder of Kataib Hezbollah commander Abu Bakr al-Saadi, members of the Iranian forces have been calling for revenge. As a result, the "axis of resistance" is expected to escalate the conflict this weekend.
The exact scale of the upcoming actions is unknown, but based on past experiences, it is likely that there will be widespread launches of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and missiles targeting various locations. There may also be attempts to retaliate and replicate the successful strikes on Tower-22, which is situated on the border of Syria and Jordan.
While it is unlikely that there will be a direct assault on American military bases, tensions may rise in the Green Zone near the embassy in Baghdad.

🇸🇾🇹🇷 From Friday to Sunday, the Turks resumed rocket attacks in northern Iraq. During the three days of the active operation, they carried out more than 30 targeted strikes using various types of weapons.
As part of the attack, F-16C/D fighters from Batman and Diyarbakir air bases, Akıncı and Anka-S drones from Batman and Van, as well as T129 Atak attack helicopters from Yuksekov were involved.
The targets were PKK facilities in the Zap and Metina regions. They hit strongholds in the mountains, underground PKK shelters, and several vehicles with Kurds inside.
❗️The Turkish operation has been extremely ineffective, but that is not important to Turkey. The Turkish leadership is primarily focused on PR for its weapons and demonstrating its fight against terrorism.
It is worth noting that Turkish troops regularly accompany the operation in Iraq with a massive information attack directed against Kurdish forces in order to increase their rating in the eyes of the population, especially amid the growing inflation in the country.

❗️🌍🎞 The escalation of the situation in the Middle East: highlights of the week April 5 - 11, 2024▪️In the Red Sea region, Ansar Allah fighters fired another missile at coalition ships. The munition was intercepted on approach by air defense.
▪️In turn, the anti-Houthi coalition air force struck the al Mandhar neighborhood in al Hudaydah province. The strikes hit an air defense unit and a ground observation station. Civilians were also injured.
▪️A few days later, coalition forces again bombed Houthi positions. A series of explosions were recorded near al Hudaydah International Airport and the Al Jabbana area, where an air defense base is located.
▪️In Syria, the Israelis used artillery and air strikes to attack Syrian Armed Forces facilities in Daraa province. The strikes were in response to increasing attacks by pro-Iranian forces from the republic's territory.
▪️Meanwhile, Iranian-backed proxies fired a missile at a US Army base in Deir ez-Zor. The Conoco oil refinery area, which is regularly attacked, came under fire.
▪️On the Greater Idlib fronts, the Syrian Armed Forces continued to attack militant targets using FPV drones. The Syrian government forces targeted the facilities of the Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham terrorist organization.
▪️In Idlib itself, daily demonstrations against Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham and its security services continued. Residents of the province demanded the ouster of the group's leader, Abu Mohammad al-Julani, and the release of prisoners.

🇮🇶🇷🇺🖇️ Yesterday, we participated in a meeting with the Prime Minister of Iraq, Muhammad Shia al-Sudani, in Baghdad. The format of the meeting did not allow for a wide range of issues to be discussed, but for our team, this was the first such event with the participation of a sitting foreign leader.
Among other things, one point stood out strongly: al-Sudani particularly emphasized the importance of the media and creating conditions to invite foreign journalists instead of obstructing them. According to him, this is the way to break the prevailing stereotypes in the press about the state of affairs in Iraq and create a positive image of the country in the world.
At the same time, the very fact that the head of state is inviting representatives of the Russian information and analytical media network to a meeting speaks to a certain understanding by the Iraqi authorities of the role of Telegram in the modern information war. The importance of which, in al-Sudani's administration, is apparently generally recognized.
And if that's the case, then specific points of contact in this area can quite possibly be found.

However, Associated Press noted that some personnel will remain in Iraq, but the exact number is currently unknown.
📌 Well, the American mission in Syria and Iraq has been accomplished. These countries have been devastated and are in complete ruin, with the population living in poverty thanks to the efforts of the US and its allies.
There is no longer a need to maintain such a large military presence. However, after the withdrawal of troops, the same problems that arose precisely due to the actions of the International Coalition will remain in these countries.
The West officially said a couple of years ago that ISIS, which they were fighting, had been defeated. However, in recent years, the activity of militants in these countries has increased.
The strange escape of ISIS terrorists from a prison controlled by pro-American Kurds, the increase in the number of attacks in major Syrian cities, and the overall instability in the region provide fertile ground for the restoration of the group's potential.

🇮🇶🇸🇾🇹🇷 On the strikes of the Turkish Armed Forces on the positions of Kurdish units in Syria and Iraq
The Turkish command carried out a comprehensive operation to destroy the positions and facilities used by the "Syrian Democratic Forces" and the "Kurdistan Workers' Party" or in one way or another associated with them, after the terrorist attack this night.
The operation, sanctioned immediately after it was found that the PKK was involved in the terrorist attack, involved F-16C/D fighters, Akinci, Bayraktar, and Anka drones, and artillery units of the Turkish army.
The targets of the Turkish attack were underground bunkers, locations of Kurdish formations, oil depots and airfields used for the benefit of the Kurds. All night long, northern Syria and Iraq thundered with incessant explosions.
🔻In the form in which we observed the comprehensive operation, all this very much resembles fire preparation before the offensive. It is unknown whether the Turks will finally decide to start the ground stage of the operation this time. After all, they have been threatening to do so throughout the year.
But the terrorist attack itself looked ambiguous. In recent weeks, there were rumors of the PKK's readiness for negotiations. A day before this, the nephew of Öcalan, the leader of the PKK, Ömer Öcalan, was allowed into the prison on the island of Imrali, where the creator of the PKK has been sitting for more than 40 months.
And immediately after this, a strange attack on the plant occurs, which nullifies all agreements. At the same time, Erdogan flew from Kazan to Turkey, which may be related to the upcoming National Security Council - previous decisions on the start of operations against the Kurds were made at it.
❗️Another curious fact is that a week before the terrorist attack and already during the negotiations with the PKK, the Turks increased the intensity of strikes on the border areas of Iraq. As a rule, the artillery is practically idle or fires a few shells and that's it.
But this week, more than 20 shots were recorded at one of the border sections alone. Add to this the training of the air force and the unanimous condemnation by the collective West of the actions of the PKK yesterday, and we get a complete picture in which the activation of the Turkish Armed Forces may not be far off, and the terrorist attack itself happened as timely as possible.

The Turkish command carried out a comprehensive operation to destroy the positions and facilities used by the "Syrian Democratic Forces" and the "Kurdistan Workers' Party" or in one way or another associated with them, after the terrorist attack this night.
The operation, sanctioned immediately after it was found that the PKK was involved in the terrorist attack, involved F-16C/D fighters, Akinci, Bayraktar, and Anka drones, and artillery units of the Turkish army.
The targets of the Turkish attack were underground bunkers, locations of Kurdish formations, oil depots and airfields used for the benefit of the Kurds. All night long, northern Syria and Iraq thundered with incessant explosions.
🔻In the form in which we observed the comprehensive operation, all this very much resembles fire preparation before the offensive. It is unknown whether the Turks will finally decide to start the ground stage of the operation this time. After all, they have been threatening to do so throughout the year.
But the terrorist attack itself looked ambiguous. In recent weeks, there were rumors of the PKK's readiness for negotiations. A day before this, the nephew of Öcalan, the leader of the PKK, Ömer Öcalan, was allowed into the prison on the island of Imrali, where the creator of the PKK has been sitting for more than 40 months.

❗️🇮🇶🇷🇺 Iraq - the key to the Middle East: on the visit of Deputy Foreign Minister Bogdanov to Baghdad
After our business trip to Iraq and a meeting with the country's top leadership and prominent political figures, it was only a matter of time before the Russian leadership paid a visit to Iraq.
Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov visited Baghdad on February 5-6 and met with representatives of all ruling circles (including parliamentary factions), as well as the Ministers of Foreign Affairs and Oil.
The agenda covered not only the same issues that we discussed with Prime Minister Muhammad Shia al-Sudani in January (increasing trade turnover, a plant for Russian businesses and contractors in Iraq and providing opportunities for Iraqi investors in Russia), but also the regional agenda.
Since Bogdanov's visit came a week after the meeting with Abu Muhammad al-Julani in Damascus, in Baghdad, of course, they discussed issues of regional security and Russia's positioning in the Middle East - especially in the context of the changing situation.
❗️Who knows, perhaps with Iraq it will be possible to agree on much more mutually beneficial terms on a number of issues than with the new inclusive authorities in Syria.
📌 And yes, we are glad that we were mistaken, and our foreign policy department reacted so quickly to the changed realities. It remains to wait for the results on the ground.

🇮🇶🇷🇺 Not Just Syria: Developing Relations Between Russia and Iraq
Russian Energy Minister Sergey Tsiviliov met with the Prime Minister of the Republic of Iraq, Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, during a working visit to Baghdad. As a result, five intergovernmental agreements were signed, and more than 11 are in various stages of development.
➖ ➖ ➖ ➖ ➖ ➖
📌 After our trip to Iraq, we noted that Baghdad is extremely interested in cooperation with Russia, and the development of trade interaction with the republic will open the way for Russia to the huge markets of the Middle East. And this is exactly what is happening now.
➖ ➖ ➖ ➖ ➖ ➖
One of the most resonant agreements was the inclusion of Iraq in the international transport corridor "North - South". According to Sergey Tsiviliov, Iran, Iraq and Russia will create a working group for joint work on the implementation of the ITC project.
❗️And that's not all. An agreement was signed on the construction of an oil refinery in Iraq, and there are negotiations underway to resume joint projects in Iraqi Kurdistan, which have been confirmed by the Iraqi authorities.
Therefore, there are shifts in this direction, and this gives hope. Tourism, oil and gas industry, trade turnover, transport routes - these are just some of the possible promising areas, and we hope that the concluded agreements are just the beginning.

Pros and Cons of a Possible Solution
Reuters journalists, citing 10 senior commanders and Iraqi officials, report that the largest "pro-Iranian" groups in Iraq are ready to disarm to prevent an escalation of the conflict with the US.
According to the latter, this decision followed repeated warnings from the Trump administration to the Iraqi authorities about possible airstrikes against the groups on Iraqi territory.
Shiite paramilitary formations in Iraq act sovereignly, although they do benefit from technical support from Iranian allies. Certainly, there are units that are in contact with the IRGC, but they are not the dominant ones.
