ISIS Selling Iraqi Sex Slaves in Saudi Arabia

ISIS SEX SLAVE

Sex slaves captured by ISIS terrorists are being sold at sickening auctions in Saudi Arabia – a key UK ally – Sun Online has been told.

The horrifying discovery was unveiled when an extremist was killed in fighting at the town of Al-Shirqat, which was taken over by the terror group in 2014.

Members of the Iraqi Popular Mobilisation Units, a state-sponsored militia fighting to liberate the town, recovered his mobile phone and claimed to have found a picture of a sex slave market taken in Saudi Arabia.

The Arab nation is part of the so-called international coalition fighting the ISIS alongside the UK and US but wealthy Saudis have been accused of sponsoring the terror group for years, as reported by British media and covered by Jam News.

Britain also sells weapons to Saudi Arabia, despite concerns the hard-line Muslim nation is committing war crimes in Yemen – and it “seems inevitable” they involve UK weapons according to a report leaked earlier this month.

The kingdom has also faced numerous accusations of human rights abuses, including torture, degrading punishments and savage executions.

A spokesman for the PMU told Sun Online, “Our investigation officer was appalled at the set of images involving what we believe to be an Iraqi Yazidi (an ethnic minority in the region) woman taken as sex slave.

“Images were of the auction in Saudi Arabia of the woman and sexually explicit materials of the fighter and the woman in a hotel.

“Location data was observed on the image file as enabled by default on many smart phones.

“Further images involved ISIS members in Iraqi areas occupied by ISIS including Mosul and Baiji which indicates this fighter has been with ISIS for a long period of time as Baiji was liberated by us months ago.”

The fighters are now desperately trying to track down the woman’s family and launch a rescue attempt.

“We are engaging with our Yazidi members to find the family of the woman, location and health status,” the spokesman added.

“We hope to liberate her and all Iraqi women taken as sexual slaves by ISIS within Iraq or outside of Iraq as their basic human rights are being denied.

“We cannot allow this, as the force dedicated to the defence of Iraqi citizens.”

Sadly, it is not the first time the accusation that ISIS sells rape victims to Saudi Arabians has emerged.

An 18-year-old Yazidi sex slave who escaped ISIS claims she was sold in an international auction.

The teenager, Jinan, was abducted from her village in Northern Iraq last year when ISIS troops stormed her village and took her prisoner before torturing and sexually abusing her and the other captives in the terror group’s stronghold of Mosul.

She said dozens of women were being held in a large room, and it was not only Iraqis and Syrians trading women but also Saudis and Westerners, whose actual nationality was not clear.

Potential buyers, she wrote in her book ‘Daesh’s Slave’ would inspect the women “like livestock”.

President Rouhani Highlights Iran, Turkey’s Key Role in Anti-Terror Fight

“Terrorism is a threat against all of us and the two countries (Iran and Turkey) can play an important role in the fight against terrorism and insecurity in the region, Syria and Iraq in particular,” Rouhani said on Tuesday during a meeting with Turkish President Recep Tayyib Erdogan on the sidelines of the 71st session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York.

Elsewhere in his comments, the Iranian president said the Islamic Republic has brotherly relations with the Turkish government and nation, stressing Tehran’s resolve to boost ties with Ankara in all spheres.

Erdogan, for his part, thanked Iran for supporting the Turkish government in the early hours of this year’s failed coup attempt in his country on July 15, saying that Ankara is confident that Tehran will continue its support for its neighboring country.

“Iran and Turkey are two major Islamic countries in the region,” he added, noting that the two countries can cooperate and play a “determining” role in defusing the ongoing crises and establishing security in the region, particularly in Syria and Iraq.

Upon arrival at John F. Kennedy International Airport on Tuesday, President Rouhani was welcomed by Iran’s Ambassador and Permanent Representative to the United Nations Gholam Ali Khoshroo.

Rouhani is accompanied by a high-ranking politico-economic delegation. He is scheduled to deliver a speech at the General Assembly session on September 21.

Also, Rouhani will hold talks with senior officials from other countries on the sidelines of the UN session.

The 71st session of the General Assembly is facing serious issues, including violence, terrorism, refugee crisis, climate change and nuclear proliferation.

Among the important topics on the agenda is Syria’s five-year foreign-backed militancy, which has so far claimed the lives of at least 300,000 people, according to the so-called Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.

The worst refugee crisis in 70 years is also among the challenges that the UN members hope to tackle.

Top Officer Says No Slowdown in Iran’s Military Tests and War Games

Baqeri

In his address to a military parade in Tehran on Wednesday morning, Major General Baqeri emphasized that “all military tests and war games will continue to be held according to the schedule and will not be suspended or delayed under any circumstances.”

The military programs will be made public whenever deemed appropriate, Major General Baqeri added, stressing that the Iranian Armed Forces enjoy such high level of defence power that they will never face a surprise attack, Tasnim reported.

The top officer also warned certain countries “seeking insecurity and instability in Iran and in the region under the umbrella of the US and in cooperation with the fake and child-murderer Zionist regime” that they will meet a fate no better than deposed Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein.

He further noted that the Sacred Defence Week is a reminder of the Iranian nation’s bravery in the face of an enemy that failed to achieve its goals in a war that it waged 36 years ago with the backing of Western and Eastern powers.

Enemies masterminded the eight-year offensive against Iran to bring the country to its knees, but that turned into a “strategic opportunity” for the nation and the Establishment to display their capabilities in defending their independence and the ideals of the 1979 Islamic Revolution.

“During the Sacred Defence, our soldiers learned how to stand on their own feet under sanctions,” said the senior commander, adding that “the preparedness of Iran’s Armed Forces is currently at a satisfactory level.”

He further said the strategies and defence plans of Iran’s Armed Forces have been designed in compliance with the country’s internal and external security as well as its ability to give a timely response to enemy threats.

Major General Baqeri further said Iran’s military achievements are aimed at strengthening its defence might, adding that the country’s “military tests and manoeuvres will continue as scheduled, and will not be suspended or postponed under any circumstances.”

Iranian Armed Forces are “closely and precisely monitoring all enemy’s moves in the region,” said the senior military official, emphasizing that the country is “capable of foiling the attempts of regional and extra-regional enemies.”

He said enemies fear Iran’s defence power and “that is why they seek to pile pressure on the resistance front by purchasing large amounts of weapons as well as training and supporting terrorists.”

The ultimate goal of the United States, the Zionist regime and their supporters in launching proxy wars “is to destroy the infrastructure of Muslim states,” he stated, as reported by Press TV.

The senior commander described Iranians as a “peace-seeking” nation, saying the Islamic Republic has never initiated any war against any country throughout its history.

Iranian Armed Forces staged military parades across the country on Wednesday morning to commemorate the Sacred Defence Week, which marks the onset of the Iraqi imposed war on Iran 36 years ago.

In capital Tehran, the parades were held at the mausoleum of the late founder of the Islamic Republic, Imam Khomeini, south of the city.

Simultaneously, a large-scale military parade was also held in the southern port city of Bandar Abbas under supervision of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps Navy.

IRGC Chief Urges US to Stop Costly, Harmful Presence in Persian Gulf

In line with the guidelines set by Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei “we tell the Americans that they had better stop wasting the American people’s assets and wealth by malicious and harmful presence in the Persian Gulf,” Major General Jafari told reporters on the sidelines of a Wednesday military parade in the southern Persian Gulf port city of Bandar Abbas.

The US Navy had better go to the Bay of Pigs for adventurism or muscle show, the top commander added, referring to the Bay of Pigs invasion, a failed military invasion of Cuba undertaken by the CIA-sponsored paramilitary group Brigade 2506 in 1961.

Elsewhere in his comments, Major General Jafari reacted to the US officials’ remarks about alleged provocative maneuvers by Iranian vessels in the Persian Gulf, saying this is the US that inflicts costs on itself and on some other countries because of its “unbalanced conducts and lack of intelligence dominance” in the Persian Gulf.

The comments came after top commander of US forces in the Middle East criticized Iran for what he called provocative and unsafe maneuvers in the Persian Gulf.

Major General Jafari further underlined that results of the IRGC’s naval presence in the Persian Gulf demonstrate that the move to assign the IRGC the task of ensuring security in “such sensitive, critical and strategic” part of the world has been a wise decision.

Back in May, Ayatollah Khamenei hammered the US for its schemes against Iran’s military presence in the Persian Gulf and made it clear that the Islamic Republic will continue to demonstrate power at its home, the Persian Gulf.

“The Persian Gulf is the Iranian nation’s home …, and the coasts of the Persian Gulf and large parts of the Sea of Oman coasts belong to this strong nation,” Ayatollah Khamenei said at the time, adding, “Today, the enemies are biting off more than they can chew. For example, they draw plans that Iran should not hold military war games in the Persian Gulf.”[:fa]In line with the guidelines set by Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei “we tell the Americans that they had better stop wasting the American people’s assets and wealth by malicious and harmful presence in the Persian Gulf,” Major General Jafari told reporters on the sidelines of a Wednesday military parade in the southern Persian Gulf port city of Bandar Abbas.

Boeing Delivers First Aircraft to Iran’s Naft Airlines

“One of the four Boeing 737 single-aisle jetliners bought from the US was delivered to Naft Airlines on Sunday to add 20 per cent to the airline’s passenger capacity,” said Nurollah Rezai Niyaraki.

The official noted that a deal was inked with the Boeing Aircraft manufacturing company after the JCPOA to purchase four 737 jets one of which was delivered two days ago, Mehr reported.

Rezai Niyaraki underlined that plans have been made to receive the remaining three Boeing 737 airplanes by the end of the current Iranian calendar year (which will end on March 20, 2017).

“Since the new aircraft can carry 150 passengers, the aggregate capacity of Iranian Naft Airlines has reached 900 seats,” he went on to say.

The newly-arrived aircraft performed its first flight from Tehran to Ahvaz on Sunday at 17:00 local time while it is scheduled to carry out eight legs of flights per day in domestic routes.

Iranian Naft Airlines, a homebound charter airline providing passenger and cargo services to Iran’s Ministry of Petroleum, appears to be the first Iranian company to have its deal cleared by the US Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC).

Iranian airlines have some 60 Boeing airplanes in service, but most of them were purchased before the 1979 Islamic Revolution and are in a dire need of repair or retirement, Press TV reported.

Leader: Enemy Seeking to Create Discontent by Undermining Iran’s Economy

Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei

Speaking Tuesday at a meeting in Tehran with thousands of people from all walks of life on the occasion of Eid al-Ghadeer, Ayatollah Khamenei renewed his call for the realization of Resistance Economy in Iran and said at the current juncture, the main objective of the enemy is to disturb the country’s economy.

The enemy seeks to cause poor economic conditions for the Iranian people and ultimately “create discontent with Islam and the Islamic Establishment,” the Leader said.

“Under such circumstances, the administration, the parliament, and officials working in different sectors, and all the people are duty-bound to plan and act against the enemy’s objective,” Ayatollah Khamenei stressed.

The Leader further hailed the Iranian youths’ relentless efforts to uphold Islam, saying, “With the grace of God, these youths will bring every enemy, including the US and the Zionist regime (of Israel), to their knees.”

There are numerous young people who are highly motivated and prepared to defend the country, Ayatollah Khamenei said, expressing confidence that the youths’ motivation will salvage the country.

Back in March, the Leader named the new Persian year “Year of Resistance Economy: Action and Implementation.”

Thereafter, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said his administration would make every effort to carry out the policies of Resistance Economy.

In 2014, Ayatollah Khamenei had sent a proclamation to heads of Iran’s branches of power and outlined general policies to boost the country’s economy and lower its vulnerabilities under a grand plan, dubbed Resistance Economy.
