Yesterday, June 25, militants of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant group and the Sunni extremists operating on their side occupied one of the largest air bases in Iraq, as well as several oil fields, reported NEWS.

Iraqi Islamists Continue Offensive


Militants seized the region of Adzhil, located east of Tikrit, where the 3 oil fields are located. About 28 thousand barrels of oil is pumped out of them per day. Previously, the area was controlled by the police, but as soon as it became known about the seizure by extremists of a nearby settlement, the police left, leaving the local tribes one on one with the invaders.

Disturbing news come from the city of Baiji, where a large oil refinery is located. According to Iraqi television, an army unit has arrived at the company, which is currently clearing it from militants. However, according to information received from the Arab and international media, militants continue to rule the plant. If we compare all the incoming information, it turns out that the plant and city blocks are daily under the control of the Iraqi authorities, the militants, and even the local tribes.

In the suburb of Yarsib, located 90 km from Baghdad, the radicals surrounded and occupied a large aviation the base, which was called Camp Anaconda during the NATO invasion.

Meanwhile, the Iraqi army began actively preparing for the defense of the city of Hadita (Anbar province). There is a fairly powerful power station on the Euphrates River. Disabling it will seriously disrupt the power supply in several provinces of the country.

It is reported that 130 military experts arrived to help US government forces. Their number, according to Barack Obama, can be increased to three hundred. The advisers will be busy setting up operational centers to coordinate army units and exchange information.

                  Sunnis have always been more radical, chkm Shiites. Today it is not a response of the Sunnis, it is rather the preparation of the Shiites to cleanse Iraq of the Sunni minority. Iran wants to fully engage Iraq in its zone of influence. And the constant attacks of the Sunnis prevent this.
                  So why not designate the zones of compact settlement of Sunnis, the so-called "Sunni triangle" as a zone of terrorists and get the right to massive bombing of this area ...

            Oil has already risen in price. And the contract is paid first. By the way, one of these days they should pass some sort of Drying to Iraq ... maybe the former Indian Su-30KN.

          In fact, this is not so little. the problem of the Iraqi army in the absence of competent command. Although this is unpleasant, in terms of tactical management, the Americans are in the leading places. If they manage to restore the controllability of the Iraqi army, then the Sunnis in Iraq can pretty much thin out ...

In America it is necessary to "muddy the waters". Desirable in the North, but the South is also good. So that all the pro-Amerian rulers were uncomfortable.

              Israel now doesn't give a damn about them. Israel now lives by the principle, the more they soak each other, the better.
              Another problem is that not all of them will have a break and just look at Israel. Uncontrollable fanatics are not a government that can admit defeat and this will end the warrior. Israel risks falling into a long-term warrior with all the garbage along its borders.

      Kurdish autonomy (and in fact it is already an independent state) surrendered to the noise oil-bearing areas of Kirkuk. Turkey has something to think about. Kurds already have their own army of 80 000 trunks and a big budget. With oil sales.

      This is how phonington with OTHER hands solves its problems. The problem of Russia's weakening in Ukraine, the weakening and slowdown of Iran's economic growth in Iraq.
      And while still making money on everything!
      On the growth of oil and gas prices, on the sale of weapons and ammunition to all parties to the conflict, on the weakening of their opponents, on the sale of mercenaries and instructors, on the sale of intelligence.
      This is the real SANCTIONS of amers against Russia and Iran, and not the notorious press statements that voiced Obama and Pssaka.

      meanwhile, the forecast for Monterey field in California was sharply reduced by 96% instead of 13 billion barrels of just 600 million barrels of shale oil, the shale bubble begins to deflate.
      Yes, the Monterey formation was considered the most promising in AI because during the exploitation of shale oil and gas production, one pattern emerged that the well debit drops sharply and after seven years is less than 20% of the original production

        Well, with the Kurds they break off. This is not to drive the Iraqis ... You look at the photo - brave warriors. And they themselves dropped their weapons, they could not even organize a retreat.
        But this will not work with the Kurds. The fighting spirit is on top there.
        Now Iran has taken the same position as we all in Ukraine. toli save, roofing felts to hell with them. Saudi won so far. They sit and grin.
        And for Iran, the collapse of Iraq into three (or more) unstable parts is not a gift.

        It is not yet clear what ideas are driving the "militants". Information flashed several times that among them there are former associates of S. Hussein. Taking into account the fact that the current government is pro-American (and what would it be like if the United States brought these people to power), the assumption arises that the "militants" want to change power! The question is: who benefits from it? Amer or Russian? It seems that amers are not profitable. But this is only what is on the surface, perhaps there is a tricky multi-move.
