Time to give the #Kurds some advice, folks…

Le texte de la soi-disant "Commission Turquie sans terrorisme" ressemble à un labyrinthe bien conçu, sans issue.
Les règles sont posées, à vous de jouer.
Des interlocuteurs privés de volonté y errent comme des cobayes, portés par l’illusion de l’espoir.

U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency: "The DIA reported that Türkiye provided Syria with support and assistance during the January offensive against the SDF, while also continuing to provide technical and advisory training to the Syrian military"

🚨‼️EXCLUSIVE: A senior Kurdish official tells me Trump’s remarks about the Kurds were “very unfair” and “didn't mak sense,” stressing that Trump himself blocked a Kurdish military plan in Iran that could have destabilized the regime.

🇺🇸 President Trump this week accused the Kurds of holding onto U.S.-supplied weapons that were allegedly meant for protesters rising up against the Iranian regime, saying the Kurds had “disappointed” him.

🚨The senior Kurdish official I spoke with called Trump’s accusations “unfair,” and "harsh" - saying the alleged plan from the president was “vague and didn't make sense.”

🚨The official also addressed the growing trust crisis between the Kurds and the United States after the Kurdish plan for action inside Iran was halted: “Do you really think the Kurds will trust someone else’s plan now? We will do what is best for the Kurds.”

🚨Still, the official made clear the Kurds intend to continue the struggle and are “still ready for engagemnet”

#BREAKING: Trump says Kurds disappointed him for allegedly taking American weapons sent to Iranians.

"The Kurds take, take, take," he said.

Erdoğan's useless threats managed to push #Greece and #Cyprus into Israel’s arms militarily and strategically. Meanwhile, #Turkey got sidelined from the East Mediterranean Gas Forum and the EastMed Gas Pipeline Project. Now, they're complaining about why they align with #Israel

[Greek Report 🇬🇷 @GreekReporterr]

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan:

"Neither Greece nor Southern Cyprus needs military cooperation with Israel. Greece is already a member of NATO, and Southern Cyprus has the backing of the EU. What strategic logic could justify seeking this kind of cooperation is something they cannot explain to me either.

This is most likely an imposition on the government made under external pressure."

This week, Sharaa is believed to have renewed an offer to @MazloumAbdi to become one of his vice presidents. The SDF commander declined. Ilham Ahmed similarly rejected a position as an adviser to Shibani. Both are reportedly wary of assuming posts that would help burnish Sharaa’s image of inclusivity without giving them a substantive decision-making role. https://t.co/dy2RNpFKXJ via @AlMonitor

Burada Türkiye'nin içerde ve dışarıda yüz yıldır inatla sürdürdüğü, "Kürt anasını görmesin" siyasetini aşamaması da etkili olmuştur. Türkiye hükümeti müzakerelere ev sahipliği yapsaydı, ilk hedefi müzakere maddelerine Rojhilat'ı ezecek bir madde eklemeye çalışmak olurdu herhalde

[Ceng Sagnic @cngsgnc]

ABD ve İsrail ile dolaylı ateşkes müzakerelerinin Türkiye yerine Pakistan aracılığıyla yapılması İran'ın talebiydi. ABD, Türkiye'nin aracılığına karşı çıkmadı. Tahran'ın Türkiye yerine Pakistan'ı tercih etmesinin sebeplerinin arasında muhakkak ki Pakistan'ın Suudi Arabistan ve Körfez ülkeleriyle olan iyi ilişkileri ve nükleer bir güç olması var. Ama Ankara'nın masanın dışında kalmasının bunlardan başka sebepleri de olması ve ciddi bir dış politika başarısızlığına işaret etmesi de çok muhtemel. Zira bu konuda yoğun diplomatik çaba harcandığı biliniyor.

@DrissG5 Vous avez apparemment fait un petit détour VIP dans les quartiers riches.

@Danale Turkey’s primary aim is to attack and suppress Kurds whenever the opportunity is most favorable. Nothing more.

‼️SHOCKING REPORT: WEAPONS DELIVERED BY TRUMP TO THE KURDS MAY HAVE BEEN MISDIRECTED

Trump recently revealed the U.S. sent weapons to Kurdish channels intended to reach opposition forces inside Iran
—but said the weapons never made it

Kurdish sources initially pushed back hard claiming they never received any such support. Some even accused Trump of being a liar.

Now a clearer picture is emerging.

According to multiple Kurdish sources:
Both sides may be telling the truth

The weapons were reportedly sent
—but not to the actual Kurdish fighters in Iran

Instead, they may have been routed to Bafel Talabani, an Iraqi Kurdish figure widely viewed by some as aligned with Iranian interests.

In the photo: Talabani seen alongside U.S. envoy Tom Barrack during a reported meeting tied to these efforts

If accurate, this raises serious concerns:
• U.S. may have been engaging the wrong intermediaries
• Aid intended for anti-regime forces never reached them
• Internal disconnect between strategy and execution

Kurdish sources warn this is not new
“They keep talking to the wrong people”

⚠️ This information is based on source reporting and remains unverified.

Serious and deadly attacks are being reported across the Kurdistan Region tonight.

NRT reports that at least two people have been killed in Zargazawa village, north of Erbil, still not confirmed by authorities.

@Tarikh_Eran Don’t act ignorant. Since when does the US send vintage pistols and Russian-made AK-47s?
You just want to attack Kurds to hide your own failures.
