syria and iraq news

Iran is responding to the Israel Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu threat during a speech at the Munich Security Conference, where he showed the council pieces of Iranian drone that was done by Israel, and warn Iran of direct military action if it test Israel's resolve.

Mohsen Rezaei, secretary of Iran’s Expediency Council and former chief of the country’s Revolutionary Guards, told the Hezbollah-affiliated Arabic-language al-Manar TV channel on Monday;

About Netanyahu’s unwise words, I should say that if they carry out the slightest unwise move against Iran, we will level Tel Aviv to the ground.

Rezaei also added, "will not give Netanyahu any opportunity to flee.

The tension between the Israeli and Iranian is at the all time high after a drone entered Northern Israel from Syria on February 10, and was immediately shut down by the Israeli attack helicopter. Israel in response to the drone invasion attacked the mobile command centre that the drone was operated.

One of the F-16 fighter jets that destroyed the mobile command centre was then hit by the Syrian anti-aircraft missile and crashed. The Israeli airforce conducted round two of the operation, and this time destroyed a third and half of the Syrian air-defences.

Rezaei also called the recent display of Netanyahu at the Munich Security Conference as “theatrical move and a childish game"

The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, ISIS have left a West Yorkshire family devastated after they released a photo of the 17-year old smiling in front of an ISIS flag this last Saturday.

Talha Asmal, 17, had left for Turkey in April with a friend,  Hassan Munshi, also 17 at the time to join the terrorist group, at the time the family known what happened, an urgent appeal was issued for their time, worried that both boys might have joined the sect.

The militant group released a statement saying  Abu Yusuf al-Britani, (a new name given to Asmal) had been involved in a suicide mission where he detonated a vehicle fitted with explosives in the northern Iraqi town of Baiji. He had detonated the vehicle with other foreigners from countries like Germany, Kuwait, Palestine, two Dagestan, and one national of Turkmenistan with similar missions. Talha Asmal is the youngest British to be involved in suicide bombing.

The family of Talha Asmal released a statement when they heard the news of the bombing :

Asmal was a "loving, kind, caring and affable" and had no "ill will against anybody nor did he ever exhibit any violent, extreme or radical views of any kind, It seems that ISIS targeted the teen and "exploited" his "tender years and naivety," they said, adding that the terror group apparently carried out a "process of deliberate and calculated grooming of him."

As a result of this and completely unbeknown to us, his family, and entirely against our wishes, he ended up traveling it seems to Iraq.

Whilst there it appears that Talha fell under the spell of individuals who continued to prey on his innocence and vulnerability to the point where if the press reports are accurate he was ordered to his death by so-called Isis handlers and leaders too cowardly to do their own dirty work.

We are all naturally utterly devastated and heartbroken by the unspeakable tragedy that now appears to have befallen us.

 Isis did not represent Islam or Muslims in any way, shape of form.

The attack happened in two waves, In one of the attacks, 4 car bombers raced and drove through an Iraqi security forces checkpoint , 16 people were killed while 29 were wounded. The Iraqi forces have believed the SUV's are convoy for a high-level official.

The other attack, three car bombers blew themselves up near security forces, causing numerous injuries, but no death was recorded.
