Iran Offers Peaceful Solution to Syria-Turkey-Kurd Crisis

By: Kayhan Int’l

Iran’s offer to defuse the latest crisis in the region as a result of Turkey’s unwarranted invasion of Syria, by engaging with the governments of the two countries as well as with the Syrian Kurds who are viewed with suspicion by Ankara and whom the U.S. badly ditched after having exploited them for its nefarious goals, is yet another proof of the Islamic Republic’s sincere role for peace and stability in the neighbourhood.

Tehran firmly believes in non-aggression and has said in clear words that Turkey, which has every right to strongly guard its side of the joint border, should desist from setting up any military base on Syrian soil on the assumption of creating so-called safe zones that would displace the local Kurds from their ancestral homes and settle in their places the foreign-funded fugitive rebellious elements who had been terrorizing Syria for the past eight years, and with U.S. help will not hesitate to cause cross-border trouble to Turkey.

President Rajab Tayyeb Erdoghan, who has shown himself to be a man of reason through his regular contacts with his Iranian and Russian counterparts in the framework of the tripartite Astana summit for solution to the 8-year crisis in Syria, is scheduled to visit the Black Sea resort of Sochi for talks with Vladimir Putin in this regard.

This means he is fully aware of the deceitful and untrustworthy nature of the U.S.; two of whose senior officials were recently in Ankara after their president, Donald Trump, had tweeted threats at Turkey’s president.

Washington should be asked to mind its own business and instead of poking its bloody nose in the affairs of West Asia, withdraw every single CENTCOM terrorist from this region – as well as the macabrely murderous takfiri terrorists, it has been using to destabilize Syria and Iraq.      

Regional problems should be resolved by regional parties without intervention by rank outsiders, whether the U.S. or West European regimes, whose only goal is to worsen the crisis through deception and false promises in order to retain their unwarranted and illegal presence in this part of the world.

This was evident by the recent visit to Ankara of U.S. Vice President Mike Pence, and the gangster who poses as Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, on the pretext of ending tensions, but actually to fuel the fires of the conflict.

The 5-day ceasefire worked out by the diabolical duo between the invading Turkish army and the Syrian Kurds is not meant to tackle the root cause of the conflict and find a permanent solution, but to provide breathing space for relocation of the uninvited American forces from the firing zone.

The past eight years of resolute resistance by President Bashar al-
Assad and his recovery of lost territory, is ample proof of the resolve of the legitimate government of Syria in safeguarding its national sovereignty and territorial integrity in the face of heavy odds, including the frequent air strikes by the racist Zionist regime.

This warrants Turkey to return to its past policy of "zero problems” with all neighbours, including Syrian Kurds, for the benefit and development of the entire region, since one wrong move will make the border conflict spiral out of control and provide the retreating Americans the pretext to say and hatch joint plots with Israel against one and all.

As said earlier, the Islamic Republic of Iran strives for peace and stability, and believes that a summit between Presidents Erdoghan and Assad, will indeed be a blessing for not just Turkey and Syria but for the whole region, which includes the Syrian Kurds, whose birthrights, freedom, and civil liberties in their own ancestral lands should not be violated by any party.

Utter Confusion in Mentally-Retarded White House

By: Kayhan Int’l 

Washington, or more properly the administration of the quixotic Donald Trump, is in the grip of utter confusion, following failure of the "mentally-retarded” White House’s policy of economic terrorism against Iran, as well as its futile attempts to frighten the Islamic Republic through flexing of the US’ old, aching, and over-inflated military muscles.

Frantic senior US officials, having lost their mental equilibrium following Iran’s dexterous display of its defence capabilities in downing their most advanced and expensive radar-evading drone by the very missiles it was designed to dodge, are uttering nonsensical remarks against Tehran as they make desperate dashes around West Asia, to assure their scared clients in Riyadh, Tel Aviv, Abu Dhabi and elsewhere of Washington’s waning power.

These utterances, whether by the gangster Mike Pompeo or the bespectacled bozo John Bolton, betray the political and intellectual bankruptcy at both the State Department and the National Security Department, as well as at the Pentagon, the war headquarters of the US.

Donald the Dotard appeared the most delirious of them of all on Tuesday, when he used the last obsolete option on his rusting table by signing what he called sanctions on the assets of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei.

He then went on to threaten Iran with total obliteration from the face of the earth.
What a harebrained fool! Trump is neither aware of the current international affairs nor does he know the history, geography, culture, and spiritual power of Iran.

First of all, the most revered person in the Islamic Republic doesn’t have any dollar or foreign currency account.

Secondly, senior commanders of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), at the mention of whose name, the CENTCOM terrorists violently shake with fear, are not persons to play pranks with.

It seems the whole US apparatus, including its military, are on the horns of dilemma on having seen a single instance of Iran’s defence capabilities in downing the drone, and are wondering what other powerful deterrents the Islamic Republic possesses to ward off any would-be aggressor.

Trump and his thugs have sent the cream of their naval and air forces to the Persian Gulf region, but now as an old English adage says about a shivering pigeon at the sight of an approaching falcon, they are: "Afraid to stay and afraid to fly.”

Anyone with some knowledge of history and the current developments are fully aware that Iran and the Iranian people have withstood the test of times in the face of heavy odds for the past two-and-a-half millenniums of cultural glories. 

Islam bestowed Iran with spiritual power that helped the Iranian people triumph over some of the most bloodthirsty marauders, including the modern day Ba’thist tyrant Saddam and the macabrely murderous Takfiri terrorists.

Under the circumstances, the best thing for the US and its president to avoid further defeats and humility that will surely drag them to the abysmal depths of the eternal inferno, is to pull back their forces from the entire Asia-African region, and accept the fact that the Islamic Republic system of government will stay even after the US ceases to be a superpower. 

It is the Muslim Ummah which has assured by God of final victory, as Iran has been saying by advocating Islamic unity, which means neither Israel will remain on the map of West Asia for long nor the fiefdoms that Britain created after World War.

Time to Shove Off American Occupiers From Iraq

By: Kayhan Int’l 

Now that Iraq has declared victory over the macabrely murderous takfiri terrorists, it is time for the people, the government, and the security forces to marshal efforts to kick out the American occupiers.
The Cradle of Civilization cannot and should not have any of those dirty Yankees on its sacred soil.
The Land of the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers, where repose in peace several prophets, including Noah, and where the holy shrines of Six of the Twelve Infallible Heirs of the Last and Greatest Messenger to mankind, Prophet Muhammad (SAWA), are the sites of pilgrimage for the faithful from all over the globe, should be cleansed of the filth of the American presence at the earliest.
Until then, Iraq will be considered an occupied territory, for whose liberation it is the duty of every true Muslim to pool efforts and join the Jihad to oust the unwanted and undesirable elements from the other side of the world.
It is interesting to note that the majority of members of the Iraqi parliament are discussing the passing of a bill to expel the US troops.
It is hoped that MPs affiliated to various parties would soon reach a consensus, in view of the fact that Iraqis, whatever their differing attitudes to a host of issues, are unanimous one thing, and that is, an Iraq independent of the military presence of the hated Americans.
The dotard called Donald Trump who styles himself the US president, has insulted the Iraqi nation and ought to be cut to size.
Last December, he violated the sovereignty of Iraq by entering the country uninvited and in a stealth manner during Christmas to meet US occupation troops stationed less than 200 km from Baghdad. He then demanded that the elected Iraqi Prime Minister Adel Abdul-Mahdi should come to him in the dead of night at the al-Assad airbase – an insolent call that was categorically rejected.
Now, this Don Quixote brags that his occupation troops are in Iraq for keeping an eye on Iran – a remark that brought quick denunciation from the Iraqi people and government against American meddling in their affairs, including the hideous plot to use Iraq as a base against the brotherly Islamic Republic of Iran.
In view of these facts, the sooner a law is passed by the Iraqi parliament for expulsion of all US forces the better for the independence of the country and the welfare of the people.
If not, the Iraqi Muslim people, especially the formidable Hashd ash-Sha’bi or Popular Mobolisation Units (PMU), which drove out the Daesh terrorists, might have to force the Americans to leave.
It is obvious that the Americans lack the guts and the spirit to face popular forces, and even if they were to label them terrorists, there is no way to prevent the steady flow of body bags back home if matters reach the point of armed confrontation.
To quote Qais Khaz’ali, the powerful leader of the Asa’ib Ahl al-Haq (League of the Righteous): "if we are needed we are ready (for action). Trump does not understand that Iraq is now a strong country. But he can be sure that if he persists, he will pay very dearly.”
Mohammad Mohie, spokesman for the Hezbollah Brigades in Iraq warned: "And if they do stay, every Iraqi will have the legitimate right to confront them by any means.”
He added: "Adoption of a parliamentary bill on the US withdrawal would be the first step, and if Trump were to ignore the ruling of the Iraqi legislature, then our forces, along with others would move to the "second step” and take up arms against the American occupiers.”
Another commander of the PMU who requested anonymity said: "The resistance factions have gained capabilities and expertise in the fight against Daesh. The experience they gained will serve to confront any army that threatens Iraq and its sovereignty.”
The Islamic Republic of Iran, which has firmly and fraternally stood beside its Iraqi Muslim brethren, right since the reign of terror of Saddam of the repressive Ba’th minority regime, including the timely advisory help to weed out the Daesh terrorists, extends its moral support to the full independence and progress of the nation of Iraq.
Whatever plots the Great Satan and its devilish minions in the region hatch, they should know that Iraq has a date with destiny. It will be the centre of the global government of peace, justice, and prosperity of Imam Mahdi (may God hasten his reappearance), the 12th and Last Infallible Heir of Prophet Muhammad (SAWA).
