«محمدجواد ظریف» وزیر خارجه کشورمان در نشست خبری مشترک با وزیر خارجه آفریقای جنوبی در واکنش به اظهارات «رکس تیلرسون» وزیر امور خارجه آمریکا که گفته کسانی که در برابر داعش مقاومت کردند به خانه هایشان برگردند، تصریح کرد: «آنها در خانه شان هستند و منتظر دستور کسی نبودند و نخواهند بود چرا که اکر تاکنون منتظر دستور تیلرسون و دولت آمریکا بودند امروز ما داعش را در بغداد و اربیل داشتیم».

U.S Secretary of State Rex Tillerson in Saudi Arabia on 23, Oct 2017 call on Iraq: "Iranian militias in Iraq need to go home!" dismantling The Popular Mobilization Forces ( PMF ) and Iran Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif response: PMF are in their home and they are not waiting for someone orders


Anti-Daesh fighters awaiting nobody's order: Iran
Anti-Daesh fighters waiting for nobody’s order: Zarif
Speaking to reporters at the end of the 13th meeting of Iran-South Africa Joint Commission in Pretoria on Monday, Zarif made the remarks in reaction to earlier comments by US Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson in Saudi capital Riyadh.
Tillerson was speaking at a joint news conference with Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir on Sunday. He said "Iranian militias" in Iraq should leave the country now that the fight against Daesh was coming to a close.
“Iranian militias that are in Iraq, now that the fight against Daesh and ISIS is coming to a close, those militias need to go home. The foreign fighters in Iraq need to go home and allow the Iraqi people to regain control," the US state secretary said.
In response to Tillerson, Zarif noted that the anti-Daesh fighters “are already in their homes and have not been waiting and will not wait for anybody’s order,” adding, “If they had waited for orders from Tillerson and US government, today, we would have had Daesh in Baghdad and Erbil.”
He emphasized that the anti-Daesh fighters have only acted in line with orders from religious authorities and defended their own homeland.
“Unlike the US that sees its interests in division and discord, the Islamic Republic of Iran sees its interests in cooperation and collaboration with regional countries,” Zarif said.

There are no Iranians in Iraq. PMU are Iraqis. There are thousands of American soldiers in Iraq. How about Americans go home.

This is the million dollar question!

Daesh militants bribed Kurdish forces to flee Hawijah: Iraqi commanders

Iraqi army commanders say Kurdish Peshmerga forces have helped members of the Daesh Takfiri militant group and their families escape the town of Hawijah prior to its liberation by the Iraqi military earlier this month.

Mahdi Taki, a commander with the Popular Mobilization Units (PMU), also known by its Arabic name Hashd al-Sha’abi, told the Middle East Eye (MEE) news portal on Monday that Daesh terrorists had bribed the Kurdish forces to secure their safe passage.

Daesh elements “have escaped Hawijah via Peshmerga positions and [before the Hawijah battle began] the Peshmerga received 160 IS (Daesh) leaders,” he said.

“We are getting this information directly from our Peshmerga contacts. There are some bad Peshmerga who love money more than patriotism, and they are taking bribes from IS (Daesh),” he added.

Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi announced the liberation of Hawijah on October 5 following a two-week military campaign that involved the army, police, special forces units and the Hashd al-Sha’abi. The Peshmerga did not participate in that operation.

Another Hashd al-Sha’abi commander, who was speaking on condition of anonymity, also confirmed the Daesh-Peshmerga ties, saying Takfiri terrorists have mainly fled to the Kurdish city of Erbil while their families have mostly been relocated in the city of Kirkuk.

“According to our intelligence sources, we estimate that in total 3,000 IS - including leaders, fighters and families have gone to the Peshmerga from Tal Afar, Hawijah and the surrounding areas,” he told the MEE.

According to some Hashd al-Sha’abi units in and around Kirkuk, fleeing costs started from $1,000 for an ordinary Daesh militant and $2,000 for a family and rose up to $10,000 for a senior Daesh element.

When the Takfiri terrorists arrived at a checkpoint near Dibis District, close to Kirkuk, they either handed the Kurdish forces a wad of cash or items of value, and were then allowed a safe passage to the Iraqi Kurdistan region.

“This was a good chance for the Peshmerga because they have no money, and only limited weapons,” said an unidentified Iraqi army major.

Meanwhile, another commander with Hashd al-Sha’abi forces, Ali al-Heideri, stressed that the escape of Daesh militants from Hawijah was not a new thing, and that the relations between the two sides span over the past three and a half years.

“And this is not the first time the Peshmerga have been together with IS. It was exactly the same with [the battle for the city of] Tal Afar," he said.

Heideri further pointed out that the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) not only welcomed Daesh, but any terrorists in the region who were looking for refuge.

Sheikh Kareem Harkani, also a commander of Hashd al-Sha’abi forces said, “It was the Peshmerga who gave IS to Iraq in the beginning, with most of them coming here from Turkey via Dohuk, so they’re leaving the same way they entered.”

Peshmerga, Daesh collaborate in smuggling oil

Separately, Hawijah local councilor Nurhan Mizhir al-Assi said locals had information over the Daesh-Peshmerga cooperation in the illegal smuggling of Iraqi oil.

“It was Kurdish oil trucks that came here under IS and drove the oil to Turkey. Civilians who stayed here told us exactly what was happening,” he said.
