Kurd uprising in Iran? April 2, 2017 - Rojhelat, IRAN Kurdistan. Rojhelat, East Kurdistan, is the Kurd area in Iran. Kurds are in Turkey, Syria, Iraq, and Iran. During the Newroz Kurd New Year celebrations, PDKI called on Kurds in Iran to hold widespread celebrations in direct opposition to the mullahs regime. President Trump messaged Kurds Happy Newroz. Mustafa Hijri is the secretary-general of the PDKI, struggle for Kurdish rights. Some Peshmerga Kurds are stationed inside Rojhelat. The mullahs are terrified of them. Kurdistan Syria and Iraq enjoy a degree of autonomy, Kurds in Iran lack many rights. Iran plans to hold (fake) elections in May. There is no such thing as a free and fair election in Iran! www.jpost.com/printarticle.aspx?id=485798There have been encouragements by some that the USA assist the Kurds and non-Muslims in Iran to overthrow the mullahs. Will Prez Trump have a hand in defeating mullahs in Iran? All massacres by ISIS April 10, 2017 - Kurd SDF commander Cihan Sheikh talked about the civilian death toll in Syria. Sheikh is from Raqqa herself, and determined to liberate her hometown from ISIS. ISIS is using the local population as human shields. Very typical of Islam. ALL the massacres are being committed by ISIS, but they are blaming US airstrikes. No comment on ousting Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. Sheikh warned Turkey not to get involved in Kurdish areas. www.rt.com/news/384141-kurdish-commander-raqqa-interview

IRAN pissed at Putin May 28, 2017 - Russian President Vladimir Putin strengthened the military alliance he had set up with Iran and Turkey for working together in Syria - as a counterweight to President Donald Trump’s success in forging a Sunni Arab bloc during his mideast tour. Putin had discussions with his allies, President Erdogan of Turkey and Iran president, Hassan Rouhani. Iran demands to know how Putin plans to stop American-Kurd forces in Deir ez-Zour and the Al-Tanf crossing at the Syrian-Iraqi-Jordanian border triangle. If Putin doesnt act fast, the Americans will block the routes from Baghdad to Damascus against Iran. RIGHT ON! Putin has ordered the Russian commanders in Syria to impose an aerial and ground siege on Raqqa. The Russian siege IS a move against the USA-Kurds. debka.com/article/26077/Russian-siege-on-Raqqa-distant-from-US-troops
