Iraq's war against IS terrorism | Updates and Discussions

[Hussein]

our regime is from the people to the people unlike your lover who stole billions and yet no electricity or water creating isis and sectarian militia you cant hold a candle to us in terms of corruption and civil sorrow and poverty we are living the Saudi dream and yet it saddened us to see a once was great country turn to a carnival or joy ride to a bitter self loathing country who name changed it own identity to ease it shameful past and deny it and yet you jiggle their sacks
have some self respect

and by the way YOU created the worst groups, from talibans to IS, from IF to the all bad rebel groups who have killed the hope for a good rebellion against the dictator in Syria
you are so high in lies that you even accuse other to create your monsters
and ask any European which country is the most fanatic in ME . it is clearly an answer of KSA. we know how finish the shias there, the bloggists , we can read in the forum how saudis think all the same of their "perfect country" like a clear propaganda agency.
you survive with your fanatism because you pay.
you have destroyed Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Bahrain, Yemen and so.
you say you are muslims but you define with your sect who is muslim: so you ask your IS bros to kill the shias only in KSA . still you accuse Iran to be behind IS.... you have NO dignity.

Why are Shiites so thankless ? :

#Baghdad: People's Protest Against Corruption
- August 14th, 2015

I can hear the following :
- "Get out Iran, get out, Baghdad will stay free" | "ايران .. برّا .. برّا ، بغداد بتبقى حرّة"
- "Thieves have robbed us in the name of religion" | "باسم الدّين 'باقونا' الحراميّة"

PS: سرقونا = باقونا in the Iraqi dialect.

#Baghdad: People's Protest Against Corruption

Had Al-Maliki been there, he would have given them the 'corrections' they were asking for .

It's the payback time though . For every 'nice' and 'kind' word that Shiites used to call us in the last 4 years :

Some Shiite Mundasseen , Ara'eer , Nawasib , Wahhabis , Takfiriscaught on camera while tearing off Khamenei's poster. Blessed are your hands.

More Zionist activities, by the Shiites of Ahlulbayt (as) :

A Shiite Zio-Takfiri wrote the following :
"No salvation..no salvation, unless we expel Iran and its opportunistic clerics."

Such peaceful protesters. Bas lissa bakkeer, lol.
Allah y7meekun, I hope Iraq becomes Da'ish-free soon .

Excellent. Farsi Kawli presence anywhere in the Arab world must be eliminated as soon as possible.

Your post was very confusing but when you say " country who name changed it own identity", do you mean "Saudi Arabia"? The only country in the world named after a family? Like a father-son general trading company?

Last time I saw the official name of KSA contains the word ARABIA. A word which is older than the word "Iran" and an landmass that has been populated by humans longer than any other place on the planet outside of Eastern Africa.



Besides KSA is not named after a family but after a person. Muhammad ibn Saud.

Like dozens upon dozens of countries of the world.

List of countries named after people - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Meanwhile your country is named after a tribe of people who originated from the steppes and deserts of Kazakhstan (Andronovo).

and by the way YOU created the worst groups, from talibans to IS, from IF to the all bad rebel groups who have killed the hope for a good rebellion against the dictator in Syria
you are so high in lies that you even accuse other to create your monsters
and ask any European which country is the most fanatic in ME . it is clearly an answer of KSA. we know how finish the shias there, the bloggists , we can read in the forum how saudis think all the same of their "perfect country" like a clear propaganda agency.

Meanwhile in the real world:

Iran and state-sponsored terrorism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It's so funny to witness the Farsi obsession about Arabs and events in the Arab world. Well, no wonder considering the fact that Arabs are the military, religious, cultural and linguistic conquerors of Farsis and have been that for 1400 years.

 

[Hussein]

Khamenei fan boys are terrrorist sponsors too.
and KSA is terrorist state too .

instead of you, i am not here to make propaganda .

The reporter and cameraman of Albaghdadiye news channel was trying to urge Iraqis in Baghdad to chant slogans against Iran so they can film it, Iraqis didn't like it.

Military.Ir. A very believable source.

There were anti-Iranian protests from Basra in the South to Kirkuk in the North. Some already posted here and many more can be found online.

You can see many photos that contain written anti-Mullah/Iran slogans and videos with anti-Mullah/Iran chants.

Only the ultra-brainwashed Mullah lot in Iraq (supporters of Wilayat al-Faqih) see Mullah influence in Iraq as something positive. Some of those goons tried to hoist posters of Khamenei in Karbala and Najaf. The result was those posters being torn down a few hours later never to be seen again.

Even when Iraq is in its worst period, when its regimes has the worst relations with many of its neighboring Arab countries and other Arab regimes, the Iraqi people don't accept Iranian meddling or the Mullah narrative. Nor do the Iraqi Arabs (whether Sunni or Shia) wish to cut relations with their Arab brothers and sisters.

Even the two Wilayat al-Faqih supporters here (Malik and Salman) don't wish to do that and have expressed their hopes of better relations between the Arab regimes as a crucial thing.

It's fair to say that the Mullah plots have failed in yet another country.

You warmongers supported Saddam's attack against Iran for 8 years and you STILL couldn't separate two great neighbors. Go talk about your million year history of Arabs and Arab DNAs and how worthless a Farsi is, but what we have seen from past few years is that people like you and western idiots couldn't keep Iranians and Iraqis apart. We're brothers with our Iraqi neighbors, and our relationship with our Pakistani and Afghani and Armani and Azari and Turkish land neighbors will improve year by year, and none of your hate and closemindness and bigotry will prevent PEACE.

Of course any sane Arab country would support another Arab country, let alone a brotherly neighbor with ties on all fronts, against a foreign country and it's Mullah's who were openly talking about exporting their "glorious" revolution.

You have bad/average relations with all of your neighbors with the exception of tiny, landlocked and impoverished Armenia and the Iraqi regime (which is dubious considering the political situation in Iraq).

Ironically your biggest trading partner is UAE.

Your only brothers in the neighborhood are Tajiks if you are a Persian. The rest are empty slogans or partners at most.

Blood is thicker than water and that's why Iraqi Arabs (whether a Sunni Arab from Mosul or a Shia Arab from Samawa) can never hate a fellow Arab other than Arab regimes and their policies. Unless they have been so engulfed in sectarianism that they prefer foreigners like Iranians or Shia Nigerians rather than their own.

Keep plotting but you won't succeed.

First of all, Military.ir is not the source, it's where the pics are uploaded. The source is where most of us get our news from: Mostly Twitter and other social media.

Secondly, we have never said all Iraqis in Iraq support us. That's nonsense and impossible to happen. By that logic, you know better than me, how millions of Iraqis loathe Saudi regime.

Mind you, these protests are not exclusively Shia, there are Sunnis also among them,or few supporters of Baath regime or sympathizers.

I put those pics to show that, just because some people held photos against Iran doesn't mean these protesters overwhelmingly against Iran. There are thousands of people in these protests with thousands of opinions.

Find the Arabic source for me. I could not find any such news.

Millions of Saudi Arabians dislike their own regime. Even more Iranians dislike their own regime. Your point being? I just wrote that dislike of Arab regime x or y and its policies is completely normal nowadays due to the situation in the region but most sane Arabs can distinguish between regimes and their policies and the average Arabs living in Arab country x or y.

On the other hand many Iranians here, especially the Mullah lot, believe 100% that an Iraqi Shia Arab from Samawa or Basra (almost identical to people in Kuwait and KSA next by etc.) literary hate their own brethren due to political differences. Nothing could be further from the truth which is evident when looking at the Iraqi diaspora in the Arab world which is the biggest in the world and 100's of other examples.

Another Mullah narrative is also that Iraq is somehow an extension of Iran and a political colony of Iran and that all 35 million Iraqis will jump when the Mullah's in Qom say so or that Iraqi Arabs (whether Shia or Sunni) somehow will turn against their Arab brethren when the Mullah's say so.

I don't have anything against Iraq or any other Arab country having ties with Iran (as long as they are strictly business related and normal). After all the UAE (your biggest trading partner) and the GCC have much greater economic ties with Iran than all of Iran's neighbors which is ignored. Similarly the largest Iranian diaspora in the region is found in the GCC. Another ironic thing.

Or that all 70-80 million or so Shia Arabs (if there are not more) will somehow turn against their own and take the side of Iran. It's really pathetic and something I see everywhere. Nothing could be further from the reality.

Sunni-Shia conflicts in the Arab world are internal matters and Iran are just fueling them whenever it suits them. Besides those conflicts are about much more than just sectarian differences found in the same religion.

No one said Iraq is a colony of Iran, that's bs. How come when Iran has close relations with some country, it wants to 'colonize' it? Can we say Qatar, UAE or Kuwait are also Saudi colonies?

Iraq is just a friend, and we consider their security as our own, since we share a long border with Iraq. We can not force ourselves on Iraq or any other country. Despite fighting each other for 8 years, we don't find any reason to be enemies today, since it would further worsen the situation.

Iran is also not against good relations with any GCC country, despite what is being portrayed in your media. It's the GCC countries that choose to be hostile towards Iran. We have always said, we are ready for relations based on mutual respect. Recent visits by Iran's FM to GCC are an indication.

Today, Iran's president said, we are ready to form a coalition with Arab countries against IS (which would be the most effective way to defeat this menace), but of course, we will hear the same rhetoric from GCC again and again, Iran this, Iran that, Iran is responsible for all our problems, etc.

Then SUPPORT your Arab countries! Your idea of "support" is to bomb Yemen turning into a hellhole while you let ISIS ruin Iraq. Send your glorious Arab soldiers to destroy Daesh in Iraq instead of sending in tanks to stop an uprising in tiny Bahrain.

You have bad/average relations with all of your neighbors with the exception of tiny, landlocked and impoverished Armenia and the Iraqi regime (which is dubious considering the political situation in Iraq).

We have good relationships, where it counts, with most of them, even though by all logic, we shouldn't have since all our neighbors are being heavily supported by USA and they want to destroy us. The fact that we have friendly relationship with them is not just interesting, it's mind-boggling! When our relationship with Iraq was bad, it was because of idiots like west and your country for supporting a mad man like Saddam (and then changed your minds when Saddam decided to attack Kuwait). Children in top places, seriously.

And what about Afghanistan? How many countries in the world considered Afghanistan under Taliban a legitimate country? Saudi, Pakistan, and UAE. Surprise, freaking surprise. But what happened? Who supports Afghanis more, us or Saudis who supported Taliban?

Look at Pakistan. If Saudis weren't bribing and building so many madrassas in Pakistan, I will bet my two balls that Iran and Pakistan would have been inseparable. But whenever we have any projects to start with Pakistan, hatemongers like USA and Saudi come and destroy the projects. What's wrong with your country? We don't care if Saudi is friends or not with their neighbors, but like a spoiled child and paranoid maniac, they always try to get involved with any relationship we have with any country.

You know why your lead hates our country? A two year old child can figure it out if they use their brain cells. It has nothing to do with Farsis or Mullahs or Shias. It's a Islamic Republic that did away with Monarchy, and somehow marriage conservatism with democracy, and this scares your Shiekhs. This is not sectarian, this is not genetic war, this is not about Arabia or Persia, this is about Monarchs scared of losing their power.

And people like you remain like a blind sheep.

Ironically your biggest trading partner is UAE.

That's not ironic. We've always had great trade with UAE, before & after the revolution. I have nothing against UAE, specially Dubai. I have a lot of respect for the Maktoum family. Rashid al Maktoum had extremely good relationship with the Iranian community. The oldest hospital in Dubai is the Iranian hospital, made by the Iranian government, as a gift for Dubai's citizens. And I remember that a lot of people would go to the hospital since medicines and doctors were subsidized by the Iranian government, so it was dirt cheap for any person living in Dubai.

The only "tribes" that are bad with us is probably the Saudis, the Abu Dhabis, and the Kuwaitis. And I'm 100% sure if their leaders weren't so concerned about losing power & influence, we would have zero problems with the people.

A lot of your precious 100% Arab DNA citizens in Kuwait & UAE and other Gulf countries are originally Iranians.

Your only brothers in the neighborhood are Tajiks if you are a Persian. The rest are empty slogans or partners at most.

Blood is thicker than water and that's why Iraqi Arabs (whether a Sunni Arab from Mosul or a Shia Arab from Samawa) can never hate a fellow Arab other than Arab regimes and their policies. Unless they have been so engulfed in sectarianism that they prefer foreigners like Iranians or some Shia Nigerians rather than their own.

Take your blood bullshit to Europe. Those western nazis have been the only one who cares so much about "blood".

And stop talking as if you are talking about every Arab anywhere. 99.9% of Arabs don't give a shit about that mystical "Arab Blood". When you guys are attacking Yemen, no one cares about "Arab Blood". When Saddam's army was raping Kuwaiti school girls, no one cared about "Arab Blood". When Saudi & Egypt under Nasser were each trying to battle for regional power, no one cared about "Arab blood". When Arabs blow up mosques with Arabs inside, no one cares about "Arab blood". You can go back hundreds and thousands of years of tribal and inter-country wars where NO ONE CARED ABOUT THIS MYSTERIOUS ARAB BLOOD. When PROPHET MOHAMMAD, with his close friends SALMAN FARSI and BILAL the AFRICAN, was fighting against Quraishi ARAB TRIBES, HE DID NOT CARE ABOUT "ARAB BLOOD".

I'm so sick and tired of your constant nazi racism and bigotry. Go get a freaking life. The only thing you guys learned from going to all those super duper American universities is how to become racists like them.

Leading officials in your regime are publicly saying nonsense such as "Iran controls 4 Arab capitals", many of your Mullah's in official speeches are creating absurd narratives etc. The list is long. Of course there are also false narratives on the other side of the fence but whenever an Arab or an Iranian have a discussion or PDF or elsewhere the Iranian will always say that "we control Shia Arabs" or "Shia Arabs will fight with us against you", "All Shia Arabs look toward Iran" and much more such nonsense.

Even @SALMAN AL-FARSI have explained this in detail and he hates the Saudi Arabian regime.

From a geopolitical viewpoint the Mullah's in Iran have only (mostly) religion as their main card. Creating divisions between Sunni and Shia Arabs suits them and gives them influence as evident of its proxy groups. Similarly certain Arab regimes are countering that by playing the religion card.

Now an Iran before the Mullah's had no cards to play with to gain influence in the Arab world other than the sectarian one (Shia). Iranian nationalists for instance have as much in common with Arabs as Iranian nationalists have with Spaniards. Nothing is the answer here.

So in a sense nobody can blame the Mullah's for their current policies.

Your regime and OFFICIAL media (such as PressTV and Al-Alam which are quite frankly only posting propaganda against the GCC and nothing more) has had a hostile tone against the GCC since the first day they came to power due to political differences. Mainly being allies or rather partners of the West.

Still your biggest trading partner is the GCC, the biggest Iranian diaspora in the region is found in the GCC and more natives in the GCC have ancestral ties to Iran (either Iranian Arabs, Persians or Lurs) than any other region in the Arab world (by far) yet we see the sentiments.

Why is it that there were close to no problems before 1979? This is the crucial question that no Iranian regime supporter has been able to answer. I was not born back then so I have no idea about the exact level of relations but from what I have gathered, heard, read about the relations were 100 times better than today. Sure they were not sending roses to each other every Friday but that's not necessary at all.

If the GCC is so hostile why is it hosting the second biggest Iranian diaspora in the world after the US? Why is the UAE your biggest trading partner?

@Madali

You are writing complete and utter nonsense as usual. If writing facts such as the vast majority of the 450 million Arabs having no problems with their brethren outside of political differences, mainly due to unelected Arab regimes, foreign meddling, the political situation of the region currently and since 1979, that Arabs share much more with each other on almost any front than with foreigners etc. is being a "racist" in your eyes then so be it. I can't take it seriously from an Iranian considering the usual "Iran is the best on every front" rhetoric from most Iranians. Or how your regimes have historically been treating your minorities and still do to this day with your mythical "Aryan nonsense" etc.

The rest I don't have time to reply to right now.

Your nonsense that 450 million Arabs think alike is stupid, moronic, and the sort of 19th century western mentality that gave rise to most of the absolute worst racism penetrated by them, of which people like you are trying to emulate.

Arabs don't think alike as can be seen by the various conflicts between Arabs during the last...whatever year you want to make up.

Iranian diaspora living in GCC are among the richest and most successful businessmen in GCC, especially in Dubai. They are not some low rated workers, they have contributed greatly to economies of those countries, so it's not like GCC is doing a favor here, it's a win-win relationship.

About Iran-GCC relations, you should ask that from yourself, since it was GCC countries who gave Saddam billions of dollars to prop up his war machine and prevented him from losing the war. It was just 1 year after the revolutions.

I do agree that the revolutionary rhetoric in Iran (just like it exists in every single big revolution, like French revolution or Russian October revolutions) did not sit well on Arab regime's ears, since they were directly opposed to their regime types which are monarchies.

But not even that can justify the Arab support for Saddam the way it happened, they gave 60 billion dollars to him to but military equipment, without it, Saddam would have gone bankrupt since Iran literally obliterated Iraqi oil exports in first year of the war. So you should ask yourself, is it all Iran's fault? Name me a country can easily forget something like what Arab regimes did.

Relations before 1979 were not bad, but nothing prevents 2 sides from getting there again.

If you mentioned Press tv, you should have also mentioned Al-Arabiya. If you knew Persian, you could visit its Farsi section to know what kind of garbage it is spreading against Iran. This is a media war, and no one is innocent here. Also its English and Arabic sections are no better either.
