Three ISIS Militants Killed by Wild Boars in Iraq

At least eight ISIS fighters had reportedly taken cover among dense reeds in Iraq’s al-Rashad region, about 55 miles southwest of Kirkuk, in preparation for a surprise attack on local anti-ISIS tribesman when a herd of wild boars attacked the extremists on Sunday, killing three.

The militants likely disturbed the notoriously short-tempered animals, said Sheikh Anwar al-Assi, a chief of the local Ubaid tribe and head of the group of local tribesmen who took up arms after ISIS took control of the nearby town of Hawija.

“It is likely their movement disturbed a herd of wild pigs, which inhabit the area as well as the nearby cornfields. The area is dense with reeds, which are good for hiding in,” Assi told The Times.

The event was corroborated by local Kurdish fighters who have joined Iraqi popular forces in attempting to oust ISIS from nearby Hawija.

The extremists’ mutilated bodies were reportedly discovered by refugees fleeing the violence that has beset the war-torn nation.

An alliance consisting of Iraqi military, a group of popular forces called Hashd al-Shaabi, the US-led coalition forces and Kurdish units (known as Peshmerga) are seeking to drive ISIS out of Iraq, according to Brigadier General Azad Jelal, the deputy head of the Kurdish intelligence service in Kirkuk.

“Three fighters from ISIL were near the Peshmerga checkpoint in al-Rashad. They met some feral boars and the boars killed the three fighters,” Jelal told The Telegraph, using an alternative acronym for ISIS.

“Some refugees saw the bodies on the edge of a farm when they were fleeing and they told us. A few days later ISIL started to kill pigs around the area,” he added.

China Bans Islamic Names in Muslim-Majority Province

China Bans Islamic Names in Muslim-Majority Province

Chinese officials described the ban on choosing such names as Muhammad, Arafat and Jihad as part of an effort to “curb religious fervour” in the western region of Xinjiang, home to more than 10 million Uighurs, a mostly Muslim minority group.

The government considers Xinjiang a hotbed of Islamic extremism, violence and separatist thought. But many Uighurs say the government’s strict limits on worship and speech are responsible for tensions in the region.

The list of prohibited names, which was introduced this month, is titled, “List of Banned Ethnic Minority Names.” It bans more than two dozen names, including “Mujahid” and “Medina.”

Security officials in Urumqi and other cities in Xinjiang confirmed the ban. Some said in interviews that if residents did not comply, they risked forfeiting critical benefits for their children, including education and health care, The New York Times reported.

To combat what officials describe as extremism in Xinjiang, the Chinese government has put in place a series of restrictions in recent years. Earlier this month, for example, security officials imposed bans on long beards and veils in public places.

This year, officials held large rallies of paramilitary and police forces as a show of force in Xinjiang. The region has struggled with clashes between residents and security officials and occasional acts of domestic terrorism.

National Festival of Salt Statues in Eastern Iran

The National Festival of Salt Statues was held on Friday in a salt marsh near Nehbandan County in South Khorasan Province, eastern Iran.

The festival was attended by 30 groups from eleven Iranian provinces.

Iran, P5+1 Hold 7th Joint Commission Meeting

Iran, P5+1 Hold 7th Joint Commission Meeting

Iranian Deputy Foreign Ministers Abbas Araqchi and Majid Takht-e-Ravanchi, along with the Secretary General of the European External Action Service (EEAS) Helga Schmid, as well as senior diplomats from other P5+1 group of countries attended the meeting of the commission tasked with monitoring the implementation of the nuclear deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).

One of the key issues that the participants were scheduled to discuss was Iran’s request to purchase 950 tonnes of concentrated uranium, also known as yellowcake, from Kazakhstan in a three-year period.

This is the first meeting of the commission since the inauguration of US President Donald Trump on January 20. The commission’s sixth meeting was held in Vienna on January 10 to discuss Washington’s extension of an anti-Iran sanctions law.

Last December, the US Congress voted to extend Iran Sanctions Act (ISA) for another 10 years. The law, which authorizes the US president to re-impose the bans, was first adopted in 1996 to punish investments in the Islamic Republic over its nuclear program and its support for anti-Israeli resistance groups.

 

Iran, P5+1 Hold 7th Joint Commission Meeting

 

ISA’s extension came despite numerous reports by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) confirming Iran’s commitment to the JCPOA.

Speaking after a meeting with IAEA Director General Yukiya Amano in Vienna on Monday, Araqchi said the Islamic Republic had lived up to its commitments under the JCPOA.

“As the entire world knows and repeated reports by the agency have confirmed, Iran has always been committed to its obligations and carefully implemented the JCPOA,” Araqchi, who is the Iranian head of the Joint Commission, said.

He, however, emphasized that the other side had not fully complied with its obligations under the JCPOA.

Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif on Friday slammed the United States for violating both the spirit and the letter of the nuclear deal.

“We’ll see if US is prepared to live up to letter of the JCPOA let alone [its] spirit. So far, it has defied both,” Zarif said on his official Twitter account.

Iran’s foreign minister made the comments after Trump accused Iran of “not living up to the spirit” of the 2015 nuclear agreement.

Iran and the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council — the United States, Britain, France, China and Russia — plus Germany signed the JCPOA on July 14, 2015 and started implementing it on January 16, 2016.

Under the agreement, limits were put on Iran’s nuclear activities in exchange for, among other things, the removal of all nuclear-related bans against the Islamic Republic.

The UN Security Council later unanimously endorsed a resolution that effectively turned the JCPOA into international law.

Iran to Continue Supporting Iraq’s Anti-Terror Campaign: New Envoy

Iran to Continue Supporting Iraq's Anti-Terror Campaign: New Envoy

In a meeting in Baghdad on Monday, Iraj Masjedi, who has recently arrived in Baghdad as Iran’s new ambassador, and Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi exchanged views about a range of issues, including bilateral relations between the two neighboring countries and the latest developments of Iraq’s campaign against terrorism.

He hailed the Baghdad government’s success in the campaign as well as in economic and political areas and said Iran is resolved to support Iraq in various areas, including counter-terrorism, according to a statement issued by Abadi’s office.

Masjedi and the Iraqi premier, who highlighted his country’s efforts to combat terrorist groups, like Daesh (ISIS or ISIL), during the meeting discussed ways for boosting the bilateral ties between Tehran and Baghdad.

Iraq has been facing the growing threat of terrorism, mainly posed by the Daesh terrorist group.

Daesh militants made swift advances in much of northern and western Iraq over the summer of 2014, after capturing large swaths of northern Syria.

However, a combination of concentrated attacks by the Iraqi military and the volunteer forces, who rushed to take arms after top Iraqi cleric Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani issued a fatwa calling for the fight against the militants, blunted the edge of Daesh offensive and forced the terrorist group withdraw from much of the areas it had occupied.

Amid tensions in Iraq, Iran is known as the first country to help the Arab country and has always voiced support for Iraq’s solidarity and prosperity.

Iran Leader Advises Presidential Hopefuls against Relying on Foreign Help

Leader

In an address to a group of Iranian authorities and the ambassadors of Muslim nations on the anniversary of Islamic holiday Eid al-Mab’ath, Ayatollah Khamenei urged the Iranian presidential candidates to refrain from relying on foreign assistance in the advancement of the country’s affairs.

“They should pledge that they would look toward the [Iranian] nation itself, and not look beyond the borders, for the advancement of the country’s affairs, its economic development, and for removing obstacles,” the Leader said, while five of the six presidential candidates were attending the Tuesday gathering.

Ayatollah Khamenei also underlined the importance of the upcoming elections in Iran, saying the Iranian nation would massively participate in the polls and foil enemies’ plots to undermine the Islamic Establishment.

“The nation will disappoint the enemies of Islam and Iran by their (massive) presence in the forthcoming elections,” the Leader noted.

The Leader further highlighted various aspects of the elections, including the presidential vote, and said participation in the polls is a manifestation of the people’s “dignity, right and power” to select the head of the executive branch of the government, Tasnim reported.

Ayatollah Khamenei hailed the Iranian nation’s faith, unity and presence on the political scenes as factors behind the Islamic Republic’s bravery and resistance in the international arena and said high turnout in the upcoming elections would be a good example of the people’s presence.

Elsewhere, the Leader pointed to the enemies’ plots against Iran and Muslims and said the formation of terrorist groups under the name of Islam and attempts to sow discord in Islamic countries, like Iraq, Syria, Bahrain, and Yemen are part of Washington and the Tel Aviv regime’s conspiracies against the religion.

“Of course, the global oppressors are more opposed to the Islamic Republic than other Muslim countries, but their main problem is Islam and all Muslims should recognize this fact,” Ayatollah Khamenei added.

The Leader said the United States and Zionists are directing belligerence against Iran because Islam is most prominent in the Islamic Republic, Press TV reported.

“Today, all these animosities [targeting Iran and Islam] are spearheaded by the US and Zionists,” Ayatollah Khamenei said.

“Memoirs of IRGC Commander Shine in Syria”

The Arabic translation of the memoirs of martyred IRGC commander Brigadier General Hossein Hamadani, which was unveiled in Syria last winter, has received immense popularity among Syrian readers.

According to a Farsi report by Mehr, the book named “The Moonlight of Khayyen” includes General Hamadani’s memories of the Iran-Iraq war in the 1980s.

It contains Hossein Behzad’s interview with Hamadani as well as Behzad’s research and surveys about the operations in which Hamadani had taken part. The book includes 20 chapters.

Moreover, the eighth impression of the book “Water Never Dies” has recently hit the Syrian market. It contains the disabled war veteran Hamid Solgi’s memoirs of the Iraqi imposed war on Iran. It is compiled by Hamid Hessam, an Iran-Iraq war researcher. Leader of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei had inscribed the book with a note of commendation.

During the eight years of Iran-Iraq war, Solgi was the commander of a key Iranian battalion.

The first impression of the book hit the shelves in 2014.
