Iran set weapon “Peshmerga” militant Kurdish formations fighting in Iraq with the Islamic State (IS) militants RIA News with reference to Reuters.



"We asked for weapons, and Iran was the first country to provide it to us."- said the head of autonomous Kurdistan Massud Barzani at a press conference.

Last Sunday, representatives of Iraq and Iran discussed the measures necessary to destroy the radical militants from the Islamic State terrorist group. On the part of Iraq, Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi attended the talks in Baghdad, and on the part of Iran, Foreign Minister Javad Zarif was present. During the meeting, the parties came to the understanding that the "militants of the IS" are a danger to the entire region, and it is necessary to make global efforts to eliminate the so-called Islamic state. "

The agency recalls that "IG" emerged and operated mainly in Syria, where it fought against government forces and gained "fame" for one of the most violent groups in the Middle East. " A few months ago, the Islamists sharply intensified their activities in neighboring Iraq, where in a short time they managed to seize vast territory.

Thousands of “infidels” have already died at the hands of the radicals, including Shiites, Christians, Yezidi Kurds.

        Participants of the Kiev "parade" fled along the road to the front laughing

        The columns of the military, which were sent to the front immediately after the parade in Kiev, were greatly thinned along the way.

        According to the analyst, about 30 percent of the servicemen left her (convoy) on the way to Kharkov. The reason for the escape was reports depressing for Kiev from the combat zone.

        “First of all, those who already had the good fortune to fight without food and without ammunition scrambled,” the expert shared the details of the general desertion of the Kiev junta's punishers. “The flight began after the parade soldiers contacted their colleagues on the front line. The latter told about the offensive of the resistance and that hell, which is happening in the disposition of the punishers ... ".

        According to agency sources in Kiev, the contrast between the well-fed and satisfied generals of Poroshenko and that miserable look of ragged, hungry and wounded soldiers fighting in the Southeast is enormous.

          In fact, there are Kurds in Iran too. Maybe Tehran is trying to appease them so that when Iraqi Kurdistan is legally registered, the Iranian Kurds "for services to the Fatherland" will not demand independence from Iran?

            Nothing of the kind. They Kurdish units themselves are crushing. It’s just that Isil is really dangerous, and Iran can’t allow Isil to invade Shiite shrines, which are mainly in Iraq and therefore forced to help.
            Isil seized the dam again in Mosul.

              Why then does Iran not openly intervene in the conflict like the United States? And in general, the weapons that the Iranians have supplied to the Iraqi Kurds can, after a while, help the Iranian Kurds in their struggle for independence. We remember the "Free Syrian Army".

                And why not Russia arrange long-range aviation exercises? We can see for ourselves what the TU-160 is capable of in a real combat situation, and show it to the whole world. And the old TU-95 will also work at least once in their long history for real goals.

                      Well, it is necessary to fly to Syria through other countries. But Iran would have missed it, the Russian Federation and Iran are far from perfect relations. And who said that Iraq will miss ?? They asked Amer, and simply could not oppose them, What to do next a lot of American bases and aircraft carriers. Russia does not have a small fraction of that potential in this region. Well, you confuse the movement of troops from one side of the border to the other, with invasion of distant countries. So far, only dream of this level. The potential of the USSR is very far and sooooo far.

      Lebanon forgotten. The most famous brigadier general Haj Ibrahim Abdallah, the hero of the 2006 war with Israel, was recently killed in Iraq and proved himself a successful defense of Aita al-Shaab.

      He actively fought in Syria with the Hazball and Shiites. He distinguished himself in the battles for Kessab - in fact, commanding the liberation of the city. He planned and, together with CAA, broke through the blockade of Aleppo International Airport.

      He died in Iraq, presumably in the Samarra region, along with at least 14 Hazbollah fighters and Iranian troops.

      Also in Lebanon itself - ISIS is already fighting to the fullest.

    And then the Kurds, shaking in the hands of the same weapon, will demand the independence of Kurdistan from Iraq. In this way, Iran is involved in the collapse of Iraq. It would be better if the Iranian Air Force attacked the positions of the IG. IMHO

    Z.Y. There, by chance, the Syrian Kurds do not require separation?

      And they are de facto independent for a long time, followed by the support of the States and Israel.

      Iran is simply arming the enemies of ISIS because the Iraqi government alone cannot cope.

    Iran primarily defends itself.
    ISIS is primarily a product of Saudi Arabia and Qatar - UWB satellites, with the help of this organization these countries are trying to maintain high energy prices and move their competitors.
    Specifically, UWB are interested in ensuring that their shale projects remain cost-effective. Business on the blood opt.
    Kurds fight for their own sovereign state, including at the expense of Turkish territories inhabited by Kurds. The paradox of the current situation echoes the European paradox regarding the Kosovo precedent.
    Long live the Kurdistan Workers Party!

    The "thinking" of the EU and the US is curious: they have one "feature" - if these gentlemen once decided that this or that country or nationality - "good" or "bad" - they will adhere to this assessment of theirs all the time, despite what changes over time. The same story is with the Kurds, a rather unpleasant people (like the Gypsies, but with weapons) in which tribal slavery is flourishing and the laws of the Middle Ages reign, this people does not recognize any laws, except for their tribal "so-called" universal "values, however, come on, the" west "decided that this is a" good "people and therefore, it must be fully supported, even despite the" bad behavior ". The Russians, on the other hand, were initially recognized by the West as a "bad" people and therefore cannot, even in the long run, hope for a good attitude from the "enlightened" West.

      Inertia of propaganda. In a totalitarian society, the propaganda of 180 degrees is a matter of a couple of directives, while in a liberal-democratic society it is very difficult, costly and dangerous for those who hold power.

    The Islamic Republic of Iran is fighting against the creation of an Islamic state (caliphate) at the hands of the Kurds and the Iraqi army. In general, the long-standing conflict between the Persians and Arabs in the 21st century turned out to be not so long. The Arabs once managed to destroy the Iranian state as it turns out this time. The United States plays the role of Byzantium, which had a very long conflict with Iran, and then barely fought off the Arabs after they defeated Iran.
