Syrian Army will retake Raqqa City – Iranian official

[Bleipriester]

Iran will not allow the US to divide Syria, Velayati said. While this would be a part of the commitment to Syria´s territorial integrity, it is of course of Iran´s interest to prevent the creation of US-Israeli colonies and to send a signal to Iran´s Kurds. The PYD, like all the other war parties, collaborates with ISIS against the Syrian army and thus is in no position - even if there was any justified claim - to rule any part of Syria. There is so far no Syrian confirmation - and after the defeat of ISIS there are still other forces to be dealt with. It is clear that the SDF is no match for the Syrian troops, however.

"BEIRUT, LEBANON (7:20 A.M.) – The Syrian Arab Army (SAA) will retake the provincial capital of the Al-Raqqa Governorate from the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), ‘Ali Akbar Velayati, the Iranian adviser to Iran’s Supreme Leader, stated on Friday.

“We will witness in the near future the advance of government and popular forces in Syria and east of the Euphrates, and the liberation of Raqqa city,” he said in televised comments on a visit to Beirut, as quoted by the Reuters News Agency.

Velayati added that Iran will not allow the US to divide Syria."

Yes, I'm sure that you are very happy now in Syria being puppets of IRan and Russia.

You don’t understand. If you collaborate with Iran or Russia then you a partner; if you collaborate with the US then you a puppet.

I think Blei works in the Syrian Propaganda Ministry, and he thinks that US Message board means he's talking to the whole US and no just a few dozen people.

I see. So when you said about punishing Iraqi peshmerga you meant retaking of Kirkuk by the Iraqi forces, right? And you don’t think that creation of the Kurd state is a matter of time?

Kirkuk and other places. A Kurd state is not likely. "Kurdistan" is surrounded by countries that don´t want it. They can isolate the Kurds and with the loss of Kirkuk, they have no more income. Let´s not forget that "Kurdistan" is ruled by corrupt "politicians". Even Turkey has provided several emergency infusions of capital to prevent the breakdown. Peshmerga fighters were not paid and sold their arms to ISIS for food. Also, the Kurds are at each others´ throats. They just behave like the "rebel" groups in Syria.

for the record, Esay-----kurds live in the mountain ranges of
Iran, Iraq, Syra and Turkey------they are people who TOOK to the hills LONG AGO------&/or already lived in the hills----some
are Berbers. ---Lots were escaping persecution in the muslim countries named. There are (or were) even jewish kurds. Amongst the kurds ----you probably heard of the Yazidis---thought to be left over Zoroastrians. Iraq once harbored a considerable population of Zoroastrians left over from the PERSIAN EMPIRE-----they became an oppressed population
in muslim Iraq------there the filth of shariah and dhimmia was imposed on them along with that filth imposed on Christians and jews. An interesting factoid is THE COLOR CODING---
In order to know upon whom to spit------dhimmis were color
coded-----blue for Christians, yellow for Jews and Red for
Zoroastrians. I read it in a translation of 1001 Arabian nights -----stories.----There were no hindus around in Iraq------in the stench of shariah----the hindus were coded in orange in the glorious moghul empire.
The assigned color had to be part of the clothing of dhimmis---usually a sash. Adolf adopted the idea. Based on Shariah dhimmia laws-----confiscation of Yazidis as sex slaves is, thus, legal since the Yazidis are refusing to pay
tribute.

I think that creation of the Kurd state is a matter of time. The significant issue is that the Kurd territories don’t have access to the sea and without resolving this issue there is no point in the creation of the state. Access can be direct (unlikely) or through the territory of some friendly state (or states). Syria and Iraq as states we know them now won’t exist in the future.

It is interesting how many not corrupt politicians you can find especially in the Middle East. I haven’t heard anything about Turkey providing help for the Iraqi Kurdistan. Do you have any link?

The Kurds are good fighters. Their gains in Iraq and especially in Syria prove this. Yes, the Kurds aren’t unified in political and cultural terms, and this is one more issue which should be resolved.

They don´t have access to anywhere. And there are no friendly states as the Kurds want to take their territory. Syria and Iraq will exist and the Syrian Kurds currently seek a federate state within the Syrian Arab Republic. They saw that nothing happened when Iraq took over Kirkuk and they cannot expect future support from the US.

Happened at least twice:
Turkey gives 500 million dollars to Iraqi Kurdistan - World Bulletin
Iraq's Kurdistan gets $200 million from Turkey after oil pipeline halt

This can be doubted. Their gains in Syria are made when ISIS throws everything they have against the Syrian army. SDF only faces ISIS with light arms, they still needed months to take encircled Raqqa despite heavy air support and their losses were massive. They also have cooperated with ISIS against the Syrian army recently. The same applies for the Peshmerga. They just run away.

Turks are NOT friendly with Kurds-----and actually, actively oppresses them. It the Kurds could take the area of Lebanon south of the Litani River-----which is actually a WASTELAND and does do ANYTHING other than act as a
Fortress for Hezbollah in Iran's ambitious project----then the Kurds will have access to the Mediterranean-----GOOD FOR
EVERYONE. The UN should give them that area-----I think it could be made contiguous with the Kurdish areas of Syria. Kurdistan is a RANGE OF MOUNTAINS-----it is a natural geographical PLACE from Iran, thru Iraq, thru Syria and all the way up to Turkey

what makes you think that he does not support a "Palestinian" state? The terminology is weird----
but if a bunch of arabs want to have a state------called
"Palestinian"-------I see no evidence that Netanyahu would
be against it-------I propose that part of it be in the area of
Lebanon which is south of the Litani river and take most of Jordan------and somehow attach Gaza (if Egypt does not mind). I doubt that the Kurds will get ALL OF THE HILLS which have harbored kurds over the centuries that are in Iran,
Syria, Iraq and Turkey------Land deals take COMPROMISE
