| [Iran Press TV] Kurdish Peshmerga forces in Iraq have thanked the Iranian government for its role in supporting the fighters who are currently engaged in fierce battles with ISIL Takfiri ...an adherent of takfir wal hijra, an offshoot of Salafism that regards everybody who doesn't agree with them as apostates who must be killed... terrorists, Press TV reports. "The Iranian government has definitely backed the Kurdish troops and has showed willingness to provide more support. It is for this reason that the Kurdish president has sent a letter of thanks to the Iranian government," Halgurd Hekmat, the front man of the Kurdish Ministry of Peshmerga said. The comments came after Peshmerga forces managed to retake the towns of Makhmour and Guwair on Sunday. Some Kurdish media have underscored the significant role of Iranian forces and the Iraqi army in liberating the areas from the ISIL's grip. The media reports say Iranian forces have a decisive presence on the battlefield of the fight against Takfiri terrorists. In a letter to Iranian President Hassan Rouhani published by local media on Sunday, President of Iraq's semi-autonomous Kurdistan region Masoud Barzani thanked the Islamic Theocratic Republicfor throwing its weight behind Iraqi Kurds in the face of the ongoing crisis fueled by the ISIL Takfiris. Kurdish media reports also say Tehran has dispatched shipments of humanitarian aid, including food and medicine, to Iraq's Kurdistan region. The Kurdish fighters are planning to regain control of the town of Jalawla, located northeast of Baghdad. "Peshmerga have taken the region of Guwair and have begun moving forward. As for Jalawla, the Peshmerga have a plan designed to regain control and we're currently waiting for zero hour. In Kirkuk district we have fended off ISIL attacks and attempts to advance as well," Hekmat added. |

| #4 The spheres of influence ala ISIS/ISIL + Rising Iran are for all practical purposes right next to one another - iff mainstream America worried then about the Islamist radicalism of the Ayatollah Khomeini when the Shah was overthrown, they should really be worried iff the ISIS/ISIL ever maanges to merge or overthrow the current Islamist Revolut Govt of Iran. IOW, DESPITE THE OWG GLOBALISTS' AGENDUM INCLUD ANTI-US US GLOBALIST OBAMA, ITS IN THEIRS + US INTERESTS TO HELP IRAN FIGHT + DEFEAT THE ISIS/ISIL, IN ADDITION OF COURSE TO THE QAEDA BOYZ + OTHER IN THE ME. * DON'T FEAR THE JIHADI - FEAR HIS LAWYERS + ACLU! * DON'T FEAR GLOBALIST OBAMA - FEAR HIS GLOBALIST SUCCESSOR(S)! * DON'T FEAR NUCLEAR SHIA IRAN - FEAR AN ISIS/ISIL-CONTROLLED NUCLEAR IRAN [ + Middle East]! As wid Baby Assad, however imperfect or defective the proverbial Solution may prove worse than the original Problem. |

| #1 Iranians have stepped up to the plate with food, water and medical support, making it possible for the Kurdsih forces to concentrate on military issues instead of civil ones. Smart move by the Iranians - makes them look "humanitarian", makes them look like they are aiding the fight (and they are by allowing resources to be better directed), but without an overt military component to it. As far as the Kurds go, this is what they want - Iranian help that doesn't involve an overt Iranian military presence in Kurdish territory. Well played, Iran. Obama The Golfer (and his State Dept eunuchs) are getting outmaneuvered once again, politically. |
