Syrian presidential envoy for Rojava says Damascus will not accept Kurdish female fighters into the army, adding that they can “volunteer” as police officers under the ministry of interior.

IRGC declares “state of war” on Iran–Iraqi Kurdistan border, bans movement and issues shoot-to-kill orders. Troops reportedly leave border posts, relocating to villages and highlands.

Attacks on the Kurdistan Region of Iraq Continue as Civilian Harm Increases 307 strikes by the IRGC and affiliated groups since February 28 leave 8 people killed and 51 injured Over the past week, the number of attacks on the Kurdistan Region of Iraq has decreased, while the number of casualties has increased. Between 7 March and 15 March, the IRGC and its affiliated groups carried out 111 drone attacks and bombardments against the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. These attacks resulted in 36 casualties: 4 people were killed and 32 others were injured. Compared to the first week of the conflict—during which the IRGC and affiliated groups carried out 196 attacks against the Kurdistan Region—the number of attacks decreased by 43.5%. However, the number of casualties increased significantly, rising by 56.5% compared to the 23 casualties recorded during the first week. Overall, since the beginning of the conflict, 307 attacks have been carried out against the Kurdistan Region, resulting in a total of 59 casualties. Over the past week, the IRGC and affiliated groups in Iraq carried out 81 attacks within the borders of Erbil Governorate, bringing the total number of attacks against that governorate since the start of the war to 243. In Sulaymaniyah Governorate, 30 attacks were recorded, bringing the total there to 56. No attacks were recorded within the borders of Duhok or Halabja Governorates during the past week. Since the start of the war, however, 5 attacks have occurred in Duhok and 3 in Halabja. Of the 111 attacks recorded last week, the IRGC carried out 64, while affiliated armed groups in Iraq carried out 47. Majority of the attacks—76—involved the use of suicide drones, 24 attacks involved missiles, 10 involved artillery fire, and 1 involved gunfire. During the past week, consulates, military bases, and facilities connected to the U.S. government in the Kurdistan Region were targeted 39 times, bringing the total number of such attacks to 97 since the start of the conflict. Iranian Kurdish refugee camps and the military headquarters of Iranian Kurdish parties in the Kurdistan Region were targeted 43 times, bringing the total to 86. Other targets included headquarters belonging to the Ministry of Peshmerga, civilian residential areas, the UAE consulate, oil fields, military bases of non-belligerent coalition forces, and public places. These locations were targeted 29 times during the past week, bringing the total number of such attacks to 124 since the start of the war. The total number of casualties from last week’s attacks in the Kurdistan Region is 36—4 killed and 32 injured. Of these, 11 casualties—3 killed and 8 injured—were militants or members of Iranian Kurdish armed parties. Another 12 casualties—1 killed and 11 injured—were guards, Peshmerga members, or non-participating foreign combatants. The remaining 13 casualties were civilians, all of whom were injured. This brings the total number of casualties in the Kurdistan Region since the start of the war to 59—8 killed and 51 injured. In addition to the loss of life, the attacks carried out by the IRGC and its affiliated groups have caused damage to civilian homes, oil fields, telecommunications infrastructure, hotels, public spaces, and government and civil institutions. During the past week alone, 21 civilian homes were hit by fragments of suicide drones and remnants of explosive ordnance. The Community Peacemaker Teams – Iraqi Kurdistan expresses its deep concern over the continued escalation of this war and condemns the targeting of civilians and civilian institutions by all parties involved. The indiscriminate bombardment of civilian residential areas, buildings, and public spaces constitutes a war crime and must be stopped immediately.

The actual Pope wants you all to stop putting things like "Iraqi Kurds are invading Iran" on the Internet.

In his debut for @the_amargi as a senior analyst, Asso Hassan Zadeh @assohz, someone not only as an academic & analyst, but also with a deep history in the Kurdish freedom struggle in Iran, will bring you sharp analysis on the possibility of Kurdish-US partnership in the Iran war. Welcome Kak Asso to The Amargi family theamargi.com/posts/iranian-…

Iran carried out yet another attack against a civilian residential area in Koya belonging to the PDKI today. Iran has attacked members parties of the Alliance of Political Parties of Iranian Kurdistan over 50 times with drones and ballistic missiles in the past two weeks.

Kurdish political forces have formed alliances, followed by an Ahwazi Arab alliance and now Baloch alliances. I hope that we will soon see alliances among the marginalized nations of Iran as well, and later, hopefully, an inclusive democratic alliance of Iranian peoples.

Interesting. So it's not just YPJ women who can't integrate into the army -- here, an Arab woman with military experience is also being placed in the Interior Ministry, rather than re-joining the army like men who defected can.

The European Syriac Union strongly condemns the removal of the Syriac language from official public signs in Hasakah. Syriac is an ancient language and a vital part of the region’s identity, history, and culture.

Hengaw has learned that two Peshmerga fighters from the Khabat Organization were killed in the attack. Several Peshmerga members from both parties were also wounded.

Any Rojhelati followers like to comment for a piece on the impact of sensationalized/inaccurate Western media coverage of Kurdish parties and communities during this war? DM please!

Tighter Restrictions in Rojhelat Prisons on the Fourteenth Day of the War As the war between Iran and the US–Israel coalition enters its 14th day, reports from prisons across Rojhelat (Iranian Kurdistan) indicate increased restrictions and heightened security measures. According to received information, due to wartime conditions many political prisoners have been transferred from prisons in smaller cities to prisons in provincial capitals. In the central prisons of Urmia, Sanandaj (Sine), Kermanshah, and Ilam, all in-person visits have been suspended since the beginning of the war. Political prisoners held in security wards are facing stricter limitations. Families of several sick prisoners say authorities have prevented them from being transferred to the prison clinic or accessing their medications during this period, and their health conditions have worsened. Reports also indicate that in some prisons in these provinces, a number of prisoners convicted of ordinary crimes have been granted temporary leave. However, political prisoners have been excluded from this measure. Meanwhile, following attacks on some security facilities, hundreds of special forces have reportedly been deployed around several prisons, and security measures inside the facilities have been significantly tightened.

Interesting update on the situation in Rojhelat.

#اختصاصی #پیام_همکاران 🔴روایت میدانی از استان کردستان پس از سیزده روز جنگ پس از گذشت سیزده روز از آغاز جنگ، وضعیت شهر سنه (سنندج) در مقایسه با روزهای نخست و هفته‌ی اول، از نظر شدت بمباران تا حدی آرام‌تر شده است. با این حال، نشانه‌های فشار ناشی از شرایط جنگی به‌تدریج در زندگی روزمره‌ی مردم آشکارتر می‌شود. در سطح شهر، بسیاری از مغازه‌های بزرگ تعطیل شده‌اند و عمدتاً تنها سوپرمارکت‌های کوچک محله‌ها به فعالیت ادامه می‌دهند. افزایش قیمت کالاها نیز موج تازه‌ای گرفته است. در همین حال، مردم تا حد زیادی از ترددهای غیرضروری در شهر خودداری می‌کنند. دست‌فروش‌ها نیز که بخش مهمی از اقتصاد روزمره‌ی شهر را شکل می‌دادند، به دلیل ترس از بمباران فعالیت خود را متوقف کرده‌اند و عملاً بساط دست‌فروشی در بسیاری از نقاط شهر جمع شده است. از سوی دیگر، گزارش‌هایی از تخریب کامل بازداشتگاه بدنام شهرامفر واقع در بلوار شبلی منتشر شده است. افرادی که از ارتفاعات کوه آبیدر شهر را مشاهده کرده‌اند، می‌گویند این بازداشتگاه به‌طور کامل نابود شده و اثری از آن باقی نمانده است. منطقه‌ی اطراف این محل در حال حاضر تحت تدابیر شدید امنیتی قرار دارد و امکان نزدیک شدن به آن وجود ندارد. به گفته‌ی ساکنان محلی، بسیاری از خانه‌های اطراف که عمدتاً متعلق به خانواده‌های نیروهای امنیتی و سپاهی بوده‌اند، اکنون خالی از سکنه شده‌اند. یکی از ساکنان این منطقه روایت کرده است که حتی تا دو روز پس از بمباران نیز لرزش‌های مکرر زمین احساس می‌شد و این تصور وجود داشت که بخش‌هایی از سازه‌های زیرزمینی بازداشتگاه همچنان در حال فروریختن بوده‌اند. فرد دیگری که در حاشیه‌ی این محله زندگی می‌کند، می‌گوید برخی کوچه‌ها کاملاً خالی شده‌اند و بسیاری از ساکنان حتی خودروهای خود را در مقابل خانه‌ها رها کرده‌اند. در ارتباط با وضعیت سربازان و پادگان‌ها نیز دو رخداد قابل توجه گزارش شده است. نخست، پس از بمباران پادگان لشکر ۲۸ سنه (پادگان ارتش)، یکی از فرماندهان رده‌پایین که حدود چهل سرباز تحت امر داشت، به آنان اعلام کرده است که می‌توانند پادگان را ترک کنند، هرچند این اقدام از نظر قانونی مجاز نیست و او نمی‌تواند مسئولیت عواقب آن را بر عهده بگیرد. با وجود این هشدار، سربازان تصمیم گرفته‌اند پادگان را ترک کنند. در رویدادی دیگر، خانواده‌ای از سنندج که فرزندشان در یکی از پادگان‌های ارومیه خدمت می‌کرده، برای گرفتن مرخصی به آن پادگان مراجعه می‌کنند. فرمانده مربوطه اعلام می‌کند که امکان صدور مرخصی وجود ندارد و خروج بدون اجازه می‌تواند حتی مجازات اعدام در پی داشته باشد؛ با این حال، مانعی برای خروج سرباز ایجاد نمی‌کند. آن سرباز نیز با وجود نگرانی از عواقب احتمالی، تصمیم می‌گیرد همراه خانواده‌اش به سنندج بازگردد. در همین حال، دستگاه‌های امنیتی از طریق روش‌های مختلف از جمله پیام‌ها و اطلاعیه‌های منتشر شده در کانال‌های پرمخاطب تلگرامی شهر، به مردم هشدار داده‌اند که هرگونه همکاری با احزاب کردستان ـ که حکومت از آن‌ها با عنوان «گروه‌های تجزیه‌طلب» یاد می‌کند ـ می‌تواند پیامدهای سنگینی به همراه داشته باشد. در بستر این فضای پرابهام، جمعی از فعالان مدنی شهر مریوان در روز جمعه ۱۵ اسفند بیانیه‌ای منتشر کرده‌اند. در این بیانیه با اشاره به احتمال تحولات تازه، از مردم مریوان، سروآباد (سولاوا) و منطقه‌ی هورامان ـ که از نزدیک‌ترین مناطق به مرز به شمار می‌روند ـ خواسته شده است خود را برای شرایط احتمالی آینده آماده کنند. در این بیانیه بر تقویت همبستگی اجتماعی تأکید شده و از مغازه‌داران خواسته شده است با درک حساسیت شرایط، از افزایش قیمت کالاها خودداری کنند. همچنین از اداره‌ها و نهادهای دولتی ارائه‌دهنده‌ی خدمات عمومی خواسته شده است با احساس مسئولیت به ارائه‌ی خدمات روزمره ادامه دهند. در بخش دیگری از این بیانیه از معلمان، فعالان مدنی و اجتماعی، چهره‌های بانفوذ جامعه و ماموستاهای مساجد درخواست شده است در این روزهای حساس برای حفظ آرامش اجتماعی تلاش کنند. همچنین بر ضرورت پرهیز از هرگونه انتقام‌جویی شخصی یا خانوادگی تأکید شده و از مردم خواسته شده است در صورت ایجاد خلأ قدرت یا امنیت، به اصول اخلاقی و اجتماعی پایبند بمانند و از تصمیم‌گیری‌های خودسرانه اجتناب کنند. 🔹🔹🔹 شورای هماهنگی تشکلهای صنفی فرهنگیان ایران 🔹نشانی کانال تلگرامی شورا: 🆔 @kashowra 📍اخبار، نظرات و انتقادات صنفی و آموزشی: 🆔 @kashowranews

Iran is conducting a large scale attack on civilian facilities belonging to the PDKI in Koya. Today’s attack against the PDKI is a continuation of this morning’s missile attack against the bases of Komala Party of Iranian Kurdistan, in which a Peshmerga named Omid Weisi was martyred. Since the beginning of Iran’s war with the United States and Israel, the Islamic Republic has continuously attacked the Kurdistan Region, as well as the member parties of the Alliance of Political Parties of Iranian Kurdistan.
