Afghanistan
1260 Enrollees to Serve alongside ANA after Completing Commando Training
Congratulations, gentlemen, and happy hunting!
[KhaamaPress] At least 1260 soldiers have joined the school for Afghan National Army Commando Corps to serve Afghanistan in the frontline against terrorism after graduation, said the Ministry of Defense in a statement Saturday night.

According to the statement, the newly enrolled officers will be standing alongside the Afghan commando forces after completing a series of military training.

"1260 soldiers and officers have joined the commando school and will receive advanced military training," said MoD in a tweet. "They will be added to commando forces after they have received #commando military training in order to defend our land and people."

Previously, some 360 Afghan National Army (ANA) took oath of allegiance to fight bully boyz "till their last breath", said the Ministry of Defense Monday morning, deploying them in north battle against the known Taliban
...the Pashtun equivalent of men...
bad boys.

According to the authorities, these soldiers will be deployed in Northern provinces, including Balkh and Takhar, where security threats are at its peak.

This came amid a widespread concern over a rising insecurity that has targeted locals and civilians in northern provinces — mainly Balkh and Takhar, where reportedly several districts are under severe influences of the Taliban.

Doha Yields Agreement on Ground Rules: Intra-Afghan Negotiations
[KhaamaPress] The Afghan and Taliban
...Arabic for students...
negotiating teams have agreed on the procedural rules after months of struggle, said Mohammad Naeem Wardar, a front man for Taliban’s political office in Qatar
...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates. Home of nutbag holy manYusuf al-Qaradawi...
, Saturday evening.

This came days after an exclusive interview with Khaam Press Wardak said the Afghan and Taliban negotiating teams met on peace dialogues but had not yet reached to any agreement, denying reports that Doha talks have agreed on procedural rules.

While reports on such a breakthrough has been circulating around for weeks now, the front man confirmed on Saturday that both side of the negotiations "finalized" an agreement in 21 articles on November 15; but did not make any formal announcement prior to this report.

"...negotiations between the negotiating teams was completed and finalised in 21 articles on the 15th of November 2020," he said in a tweet. "The mentioned procedure was interpreted in the existence of the host/controller country on 17th November 2020."

Bahrainis tour Temple Mount, hide IDs for fear Muslim authorities would bar them
[IsraelTimes] Delegation head, a member of ruling royal family, says the Waqf would have prevented their visit; Manama’s industry minister set to lead economic trip to Israel on Tuesday

A member of the Bahraini royal family said Sunday that his delegation visited Jerusalem’s Temple Mount on Friday without revealing their country of origin to the Islamic religious authority that administers the flashpoint holy site.

"If we had told them where we were from, they would have prevented us from going up [to the site]," Sheikh Khalid bin Khalifa Al Khalifa told Army Radio.

Syria-Lebanon-Iran
Iranian lawmakers move to increase nuclear enrichment, hamstring inspectors
[IsraelTimes] The Iranian parliament has passed a bill demanding that the country’s atomic agency stockpile at least at least 120 kilograms of uranium enriched to 20 percent at the Fordo nuclear facility, and increase enrichment at the Natanz nuclear facility as well, both of which are suspected Iranian nuclear weapons sites, the Tasnim news agency reports.

The moves would be the latest violations of enrichment curbs set out by the 2015 nuclear deal.

Lawmakers, who kick off the session with chants of "Death to America!" and "Death to Israel!" also issue a statement demanding that Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
restrict access to UN inspectors at nuclear sites.

"Such atrocity entails an immediate and regret-inducing response," including through "the revival of the country’s brilliant nuclear industry by ending its voluntary adherence to the Additional Protocol," the statement reads, according to Press TV.

A bill brought for review to the parliament Sunday would stop inspections by the ineffective International Atomic Energy Agency under the so-called additional protocol, which have provided an unprecedented, real-time look at Iran’s civilian nuclear program.

#1  ...One would think that by this time, "increase nuclear enrichment, hamstring inspectors" would be an F key for most news organizations.

#2  BS, the inspectors never had full view.

#3  As useful as they've been, hamstringing shouldn't be a problem for them.

President Rouhani: Iran will not take enemy bait to create regional 'chaos'
[Rudaw] Tehran will not be provoked into creating "chaos" in the Middle East by the liquidation of Iran's top nuclear scientist, President Hassan Rouhani
...Iran's moderate president, which he is, relative to his predecessor, which doesn't mean he's anything but a puppet of the nearest holy man...
said on Saturday.

Rouhani described the liquidation of Mohsen Fakhrizadeh-Mahabadi on Friday as "bait" from Iran's enemies.

"This savage liquidation demonstrates that our enemies are in anxious weeks, as the era of their influence will wane and global circumstances will change," he said at a Coronavirus Task Force meeting in Tehran on Saturday.

Rouhani made explicit reference to Israel as a "usurping Zionist regime" that acted as the "mercenary" in Fakhrizadeh-Mahabadi's liquidation. He also appeared to be addressing hawks in the Trump administration and key Washington ally Soddy Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...
, as both have called for maximum pressure on Tehran to be maintained when US president-elect Biden takes over in seven weeks.

"These few weeks are important for them to use to their maximum advantage, to create insecurity in the region and to deflect global attention from the terror and intimidation that they are creating in the occupied territories [Paleostine]... they are thinking about creating chaos and riots," Rouhani said.

"They should know that we have already read their hands, and they will not succeed in their vile objectives."

At least six button men attacked a vehicle carrying Fakhrizadeh-Mahabadi and his security detail near the entrance to the city of Absard in Tehran province on Friday, at around 2 pm Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence.

They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
