Sandstorm prevents complete the operation against the militants on the Iraqi-Syrian border

40
Iraqi pro-government forces surrounded the outpost of terrorists of the IG group (banned in the Russian Federation) in the city of Rawa and are located in 10 km from the city of Al-Qaim near the border with Syria, reports TASS, the message of the official representative of the Shiite Hezbollah al-Haj Abu Hamza’s warring forces on the side of the Iraqi army.





According to him, “the assault of these last outposts of the IG in the western province of Anbar will begin in the next 48 hours after the sandstorm subsides, hindering the movement of troops.”

Hamza noted that "in Al-Qaim, they are defending from 400 to 500 of IS militants, among them there are foreign mercenaries."

On Saturday, the Iraqi army and militia opened security corridors to exit civilians. Their numbers are estimated at 4 by thousands of people.

The representative of the Shiite movement also said that “about a day, about 100 terrorists were eliminated, 20 square meters were cleared of IG gangs. km. " Now the sappers are engaged in demining the road from land mines, established by the militants.

On Thursday, government forces in Iraq beat off the Saad airbase from terrorists and came close to the outskirts of the city of Raw, located next to Al Qaim. In turn, Syrian troops on the opposite side of the border have crushed igilovtsi gangs at the T-2 oil pumping station and are now moving towards the city of Bu-Kemal, where the checkpoint is located.

        And the storm does not prevent Kurds from moving in the direction of Abu Kemal, this is not counting the fact that the amurokurds took all the oil fields in the DZ area (60%, possibly more than% of Syrian oil). They are also preparing for the assault on Abu Kemal and are moving faster than the SAA.

                  About three or four years ago, a sandstorm even affected our city, in the month of August. Climate change. For 10 meters it was not visible, then not a lot of rain and everything was yellow-brown.

    The situation in the "hot triangle" on the borders of Syria and Iraq is being pedaled by the United States and the Kurdish units they support. The Kurds seek to occupy as many oil-bearing territories as possible and declare their protectorate over them, and the United States is interested in preventing pro-Iranian combat units from reaching the borders of Syria and Iraq, as this will mean a victory over Daesh, followed by a sweep of their gangs in the desert regions.

      The strategic situation in the BV began to change sharply, not in favor of the United States. Russia, unexpectedly, made adjustments. Iran, Turkey and even the Saudis are moving to the Russian scales. Understanding this, the Americans cling to the straw of this region - to the Kurds, promising them their statehood. This is clearly a losing option. Against - Iran, Turkey, Saudi Arabia. The Americans in this region are no longer shining. Russia successfully maneuvers, while showing its young, muscular muscles.

While a thin brook, a new banking system has leaked inside these countries. The Saudi king flew to Moscow for the same thing (for a long time he did not like that his oil was traded on the London stock exchange), he only asked him to sell him the S-400 beforehand so that the Yankees would not get rid of him like Gaddafi.

    There are completely different Kurds there, there is no unity, as there are a lot of ethnic groups in Dagestan, when one village is sworn by the Saudis for mosques (it would be better if they built a school), the other in direct visibility is 5 km away (there will be 30 in the mountains on propam roads) they cherish and guard the only one since the time of Shamil (the 19th century) ..

    A sandstorm is far from being an analogue of an ordinary storm. This is completely different. Very fine sandy dust, and very dense and at the same time lightweight. It easily penetrates even with tight clothes, and talking about technology is all the more inappropriate. Disables any technique. This process proceeds continuously, not within 1 hour or two hours, but within several days, covering everything in its path.

    All right. There is a very large, basically invisible geopolitical game, during which all the factors are taken into account by the parties, therefore, it is not necessary to bring to a panic level the actions of the Kurds, who are being given every help by the United States. We are not aware of the figures on the board that GDP is moving now and plans to move in the future, but the fact that the United States is already seen at the margins of this process is the whole world. The events in Syria dragged on, unfortunately, but the whole world is a chessboard, the main players behind which are Russia and the United States, and Syria is for Russia only one of the main tools through which America is increasingly driven into a corner for many years. Otherwise, even if the current victory is achieved by the SAA, America, as usual, like all Anglo-Saxons, will build villains, including in Syria. For Russia, victory is important not only in Syria, but on a larger scale, geopolitical.

Help had to be provided, and Assad was seated at the negotiating table with them. They want autonomy, let there be autonomy. But we decided to flirt with the Turks, who have purely their own interests in the region and who we will never be allies. With pro-Iranian Shiites, I would also be friends with caution, this is fraught.


    Russia has traditional good relations that are maintained and maintained, expanded mainly through the official representation of the Kurds in Moscow. Many, including key issues are not resolved on the battlefield, but in the quiet of rooms. Including in Astana, to which the USA is admitted only as an observer. The actions, including political, economic, military, of the following parties - these are Russia, Iran, Turkey, Iraq, are becoming more and more coordinated, transparent, and united. And the USA is in the backyard, just an observer. And with the problems that the United States got into, both domestic, economic, and foreign, for some reason becoming more and more insoluble, the place was reserved for them. And all the leading countries of the world are already openly talking about this and their number is increasing.
