Iran can close the border with Iraqi Kurdistan

58
Tehran will close the border with Iraqi Kurdistan, if the region, as a result of the referendum, gains independence from Baghdad, reports RIA News Statement by the Secretary of the Supreme Security Council of Iran, Ali Shamkhani.



Border agreements operate exclusively with the central government of Iraq, and the disengagement of Kurdistan from the central authorities of Iraq will mean the closure of all border crossings on the common (with Iraqi Kurdistan) border,
said Shamkhani, noting that this would lead to "a revision of the agreements Tehran has with the Kurdish region in Iraq."

Iranian authorities recognize only a unified Iraq and the federal government of this country, he said.

Recall, the leadership of autonomous Iraqi Kurdistan has appointed a referendum on secession from Iraq on 25 in September, ignoring the prohibitions and appeals of the central authorities. Baghdad considers this referendum illegal, the country's parliament voted against it.

Recently, representatives of the United Nations, the United States, France and Germany proposed the head of the Kurdish region, Massoud Barzani, to postpone the vote until better times. However, the Kurdish leader said that the referendum would take place at the appointed time, if he was not offered alternatives. Last Thursday, Barzani announced that he had received such an alternative from a number of Western countries.

        This "state" is unlikely to have many chances to survive, because all around there is one hostile environment. The example of Israel does not roll. Kurds are not Jews. The Americans are not opposed yet - they create a counterbalance to Iranian influence. But this is for the time being. The time will come and they will turn away. And the Kurds will be eaten along with the giblets, and that's all!

        no, not make friends. for this is the first serious bell. Kurds live not only in Iraq, but also in Iran, and in Syria, and in Turkey. the Kurds of Iraq will gain independence, the rest of the Kurds will also want freedom. and who wants to voluntarily give part of their territory? otozh and it

    Iran will close the border to prevent the entry of the Kurdish batsyl into the country. in general, an interesting thing looms: Israel has an ally against Iran. and the fact that “the western countries offered an alternative” for the Kurds is also important. I wonder which one? finish Iraq to the end? _ hardly. to send weapons with “meat” to help the Syrian Kurds in the war against Syria? _ it may very well be.

          Do not invent if you do not know 90% of the Iraqi and Syrian Shiites it is the Arabs and they have excellent relations with Iran.
          However, like the Shiites of Lebanon, of which Hezbollah is composed, they too are Arabs.
          And about Azerbaijanis, Iran has problems with Azerbaijan itself and not with the Azerbaijani population in Iran.

      Kurds are not very terrible to the Persians, it would be much more dangerous to mess with their Azeri. until this happens, Iran remains a fairly strong state. you Jews, at least, would have taught history to the region into which you allied from Europe. put on a deliberately weak horse, neither the Kurds nor the Balochs have ever decided anything in the region, in contrast to the Kyzylbash, for example.

                    According to the publication, on the border of Israel with Syria and Jordan, a group of "Brigades of Martyrs of Yarmuk" was stationed. And although this is only one of dozens of Syrian rebel groups, the Israeli military ironically calls it the “lite version of ISIS.”

                    The "Brigade" includes from 600 to 1000 militants. The group swore allegiance to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of the Islamic State. And the black flag of ISIS is part of its logo.
