TURKEY—ISIS—BOSNIA—TURKEY IS THE NEXT IRAN ISIS has already established networks across nearly every province in Turkey, particularly in major urban centers while Turkish authorities have largely looked the other way. Operating under dozens of legally established associations officially approved by the Interior Ministry - the very institution tasked with combating terrorist groups - ISIS has been able to draw thousands, perhaps tens of thousands, of sympathizers to its weekly sermons. | @nordicmonitor @abdbozkurt #Turkey #ISIS nordicmonitor.com/2026/04/isis-t… (Thanks to @StealthMedical1 ) Me: Turkey and Iran have done the same thing in the Moslem-controlled half of Bosnia Herzegovina

Good

Two different Hakan Fidan speeches in just ten minutes, two different Turkey policies. When speaking about Kurds: YPG, SDF, Kurdish forces must fully disarm. When speaking about Palestinians: Hamas must not disarm until the people are guaranteed safety.

Confirmed Report: The US fighter jet was not shot down by the Iranian defense system. It was shot down by a Turkish-made shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missile, which was transported to Iran about two weeks ago. You can check previous leaked reports about this MANPADS (man-portable air-defense system) missile that Turkey transported to Iran. Leaked report link: x.com/kurdistannews2…

It appears that Tahir Jalil Habboush, the last intelligence chief of Saddam’s regime before the 2003 U.S. invasion, has died of a heart attack, with his funeral set to be held in Erbil at Jalil Khayat Mosque. Habboush was from Tikrit, Saddam Hussein’s birthplace, and after 2003 he became a fugitive, with the US offering a reward of up to $1 million for information leading to his capture. It is unclear where he died, but it would not be surprising if he had ended up in Erbil, given how many other senior Ba’ath figures have lived there, which is well documented. Habboush, however, was not just any former regime figure. In the immediate aftermath of the regime’s collapse, he was believed to be operating from Syria and most likely played a direct role in the day to day management of the insurgency against U.S.-led coalition forces under the command of Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri, according to some U.S. sources. Given how many other senior former regime figures have been hosted in Erbil, including one of Saddam’s son-in-laws, whom Barzani helped obtain an Iraqi passport to travel via Erbil, his presence there would not be surprising. But Barzani’s reasons for hosting such figures are not simply black and white. Many of them are connected to regional states, especially a figure at the level of an intelligence chief, and have helped the KDP build ties. At times, such figures have also worked politically against the Iraqi government, which aligns with the KDP’s own long-running interest in weakening Baghdad’s central authority. Also, Barzani’s closest Sunni Arab ally, for instance, is Khamis Khanjar, whose party has become a key political home for many former Ba’athist figures. Khanjar was also the man who connected Masoud Barzani to Syria’s Ahmed al-Sharaa, and Barzani now has good relations with al-Sharaa largely through Khanjar’s role as a trusted Iraqi ally. These things are all interconnected so seeing it through a black-and-white lens misses the point.

@wrodgers2 @DMI_KRG 😂

Made with AI, @DMI_KRG?

Several loud blasts seemed to be Iranian-made ones heard in Sulaimani city in the Kurdistan Region few minutes ago.

Low IQ undereducated Syrians in Berlin, Germany, went out today to welcome the arrival of their terrorist leader Al-Julani They have no idea that he is only here to bring them back to their homeland.

@USAMBTurkiye Fuck you pedophile

On this blessed Palm Sunday, with the spirit of hope and renewal, and in the joyful reflection of Newroz and Eid al-Fitr, that recently united us in gratitude after the holy month of fasting, may God’s love and mercy bring you strength, keep you strong and healthy, and continue to empower the powerful impact you are making on the journey toward a more peaceful world. May you lead with renewed passion for what truly matters—by your shining example of faith, compassion, and bridge-building across our shared communities.

Why Iran's Kurds Are the Most Divided Kurdish Population, and Why That Matters Now They speak at least four major dialect groups. They are split along sectarian lines far more deeply than Kurds elsewhere. Kurdish and Persian are both Iranian languages with no sharp linguistic wall between them. And they have lived inside an Iranian state for five centuries. In Iraq, Syria, and Turkey, Kurdish identity confronts Arabic or Turkish across a clear frontier. In Iran, it sits inside a graded continuum of dialect, sect, and civilisation that the state has always found easier to segment and absorb. Linguistically, they are not a compact Sorani-Kurmanji bloc. They are a mosaic. Central Kurdish (Sorani) accounts for roughly 35 to 40% of Iran's Kurds. Southern Kurdish and Laki together make up another 35 to 40%. Kurmanji accounts for about 22 to 27%. Gorani and Hawrami make up a smaller but historically significant remainder. Kurmanji itself is split across radically different settings. The Kurmanji speakers of Khorasan in the northeast are mostly Shia and long integrated into the Iranian state. The Kurmanji speakers of the Urmia belt are overwhelmingly Sunni and tied into the borderland world shaped by proximity to Turkey. Religiously, Iranian Kurds are not overwhelmingly Sunni the way Kurds in Iraq, Syria, and Turkey are. The best estimate is roughly half Sunni, around two-fifths Twelver Shia, and about a tenth Yarsani. The Sunni core is concentrated in the northwest. Kermanshah, Ilam, and Khorasan pull heavily in the other direction. The deepest difference is linguistic. In Iraq, Syria, and Turkey, Kurdish confronts Arabic or Turkish across a sharp civilisational wall: Indo-European versus Semitic or Turkic. In Iran, Kurdish and Persian are both Western Iranian languages with a common origin. The boundary is not a wall but a slope. Lori forms a continuum between Kurdish and Persian. Laki sits near that transition. As you move south through the Zagros, speech forms become less like northern Kurdish and more entangled with neighbouring Iranian varieties. Iranian Kurds have also lived inside an Iranian state framework for roughly five centuries since the Safavid consolidation, not inside a new nation-state barely a century old like Iraq or Syria. Iran is closer to a civilisational state than a standard nation-state, and Kurdish identity inside that frame is old, layered, and in many parts of the country deeply woven into the wider Iranian fabric. All of this is why Kurdish cohesion is structurally weakest in Iran. The divisions are not just multiple but mutually reinforcing: dialect, sect, geography, linguistic proximity to Persian, and centuries of state absorption. In the other three countries, Kurdish identity confronts the state-bearing identity across a sharper frontier. In Iran, it sits inside a graded continuum that the state has always found easier to segment, absorb, and contain. More details: thenationalcontext.com/why-irans-kurd…

SCOOP: CIA source tells me the CIA has hard evidence that Turkey, and more specifically the Erdogan @RTErdogan administration, has specifically directed spending for podcasters to undermine the Trump administration’s Middle East agenda. The CIA has evidence of this Turkish funding going to at least one female podcaster and at least one male podcaster. Turkey is the largest financier of the Muslim Brotherhood.

@USAMBTurkiye In these eids, both Nawroz and Eid al-Fitr, I say again fuck you pedophile.

On the occasion of Eid al-Fitr, I extend my warmest greetings to the people of Türkiye, Syria, Iraq, Lebanon and to Muslims around the world. In times of chaos and confusion, Eid brings a moment of quiet reflection and hope. It reminds us that even when tensions run high and the way forward feels uncertain, lasting change begins with baby steps: simple acts of understanding, kindness, and tolerance—whether they come as spontaneous gestures that brighten someone’s day or as steady, scheduled expressions of generosity that rebuild bridges over time. These small, deliberate choices are what gradually lower the temperature around us, turning division into dialogue and strangers into neighbors. On this blessed day, we reaffirm our commitment to walking that path together—toward peace, shared prosperity, and deeper mutual understanding. May this Eid bring joy, health, and serenity to you and your loved ones. Eid Mubarak.

In these eids, both Nawroz and Eid al-Fitr, I say again fuck you pedophile.

@Leyla_567 Moron, Duhok is full of treacherous tribes pledging allegiance to the enemy Turks. Are you proud of being a jash (traitor)?

The PKK supporters hate the inhabitants of Duhok because the Kurdish tribes of Duhok kicked the PKK fighters' asses in most of the wars. I hope the Kurds of Rojehlat will do the same to the terrorist PKK fighters.

@realZalmayMK @POTUS You prick. One of the dirty foreign faces that benefited from such useless independent oil sales.

Finally there is an agreement between Baghdad and Erbil to start, as soon as tomorrow, the export to the global market up to 300K barrels/day via pipeline to #Turkiye's Ceyhan. The US @POTUS role was critical in making the agreement happen. Kurdistan's and Iraq's leaders also deserve credit. This is a positive development and should help lessen the pressure from higher prices. #USA @POTUS @SecState #Iraq #Kurdistan
