    In accordance with the deals reached with SDF, the SAA has entered Tabqa airport. Five years ago ISIS committed a brutal massacre against the garrison of the base, who fought until the last breath as the SAA's final bastion in the entire governorate of Raqqa.

    Anyways as far as the other activites that are ongoing. The Coalition is making every effort to actually avoid contact with the SAA. It's not so much that they are enemies, but the tensions do exist. Parallels the same logic in Iraq with PMF.

    Second, the IRGC already has its hands full with border security at Albu Kamal. Why would they have a desire to participate in these operations when they're in the middle of relocating the subordinate units to the new base they're still building?

    I highly doubt the IRGC will move any of its units past the Euphrates. First of all the current mobilizations are about the northern border strip, not to take over all SDF areas. There is literally zero reason to suggest that Iran is "moving in".

    What I can say is that the Major is being hailed as a hero tonight because he and his men stopped the suicide car bomb from reaching its intended destination of Karbala. Nasiriyah raises another son to God's Mercy.

    32) Major Hassan Abdul-Hadi Abdul-Zahra Al-Mashrafawi was the Officer who was Martyred with two other soldiers…

    Ah yes I can't wait until Iran starts the mass conversions again. /sarcasm

    What's happening in Syria tonight above all represents a massive failure of US diplomacy. The US kept troops there to leverage US influence in peace negotiations to secure US goals. Now they're leaving in disarray & the opposite is happening - Iran & Russia are moving in.

    Reports that 40 Coalition vehicles entered Anbar earlier today from direction of Tanf. I'm not so sure about this, the crossing is physically blocked with large berms unless the army removed it recently.

    Evidently it was a SVBIED that was on its way to Karbala from Anbar and the soldiers died because they intercepted it at a checkpoint near the area of Ayn Al-Tamir. The terrorist blew himself up because he was prevented from passing.

    The information is accurate, according to a source in Anbar STR. VBIED exploded on an Iraq Army patrol east of Rutbah which led to the deaths of 3 soldiers.

    There are at least 3500 Iraqi ISIS in SDF custody so the prison camps being compromised presents a very serious security concern for the country, hence the army redeployment.

    Nineveh Governor says he got orders from Baghdad to prevent the entrance of Syrian IDPs to Iraqi territory.

    Iraq Army units on the border strip have entered a state of alert due to the military action around Qamishli. A camp for Syrian IDPs is being prepared in west Nineveh as well.
