[Zalmay Khalilzad @realZalmayMK]

I am shocked, appalled and angered by the Iranian regime's unwarranted missile attack against #Kurdistan. They have killed and wounded a number of Peshmerga, the courageous defenders of Iraqi Kurdistan who have not committed any aggression against their neighbor. The Iranian regime must be held accountable for this unprovoked criminal act. Our friends and allies are being targeted only because Iran cannot reach us directly - yet. To do so is their ultimate goal and one that this regime will pursue relentlessly if they remain in power. This hard truth must inform @potus approach on how the conflict ends. A conclusion that leaves a rogue regime in charge will be an ongoing headache for the U.S., our friends and partners in the region including Kurdistan and negatively shape the strategic future of the region. It must be precluded. #USA #Iran #SaudiArabia #UAE

Based on 2025-2026 travel data, Numbeo crime indices, and reports from sources like Against the Compass and World Travel Index, the top 3 safest cities in Iraq are all in the Kurdistan Region:

1. Erbil (lowest crime ~30 index, 81/100 global safety score)
2. Sulaymaniyah (very stable, peaceful)
3. Duhok (secure and low-risk)

Kurdistan consistently ranks far safer than federal Iraq areas like Baghdad. Always check current advisories, as regional tensions can shift.

Everyone is watching to see whether Kurdish fighters will launch a ground offensive into western Iran.

So, who are the Kurds?

X has to be the worst source for news.

Traditional media may be biased, but X is gigantic spaghetti of information, misinformation, AI slop and finding truth is nearly impossible.

🚨🇸🇾 Throwback: The moment Syrian "president" al-Jolani was arrested in 2006 by the Iraqi security forces while wearing a wedding dress in an attempt to hide himself.

This child died in a nursery in the city of Kobani due to oxygen deprivation yesterday.

The Syrian Government is using the siege as a war tactic, during what was supposed to be a ceasefire.

We need the international community to force a humanitarian corridor to Kobani TODAY.

[Nacho Sánchez Amor @NachoSAmor]

Civilians in #Kobane are in desperate need of help. Manteining the cease fire, lifting the blockade and creating immediately an humanitarian corridor has to be the urgent agenda of the many European leaders that visited or received the new ruler of #Syria

The symbolic Kurdish city of Kobane in northern Syria is besieged and undergoing a “terrible” situation as attacks by Syrian government forces continue on the city, best known for its heroic resistance against the Islamic State (ISIS) in 2014. Kurdish fighters are left to fend for themselves this time, without US support.

الفلسطيني لا يدعم الأكراد بالعكس يدعم الجولاني كما دعم نظام صدام حسين ضد الكويتيين والاكراد.
الفلسطيني لا يدعم الدروز ولا يدعم العلويين في حق تقرير المصير .
الفلسطيني لا يدعم مملكه المغرب واحقيتها بالصحراء المغربية بالعكس يدعم الجزائر.
الفلسطيني لا يدعم حق تقرير مصير الشعب القبائل بالعكس يدعم الدولة الجزائرية الفاشية.
الفلسطيني لا يدعم حق تقرير اي مصير لاي شعب. لكنه يريد أن تدعموه يريد أن يوزع شهادات التخوين او الشرف.

🚨🇸🇾 SYRIA'S KURDS JUST GOT SOLD OUT, AND THE U.S. WATCHED IT HAPPEN

The SDF signed a deal with Damascus that’s basically a surrender. Oil fields, dams, border crossings, ISIS prisons, their semi-autonomous region... all handed over.

Kurdish fighters don’t even integrate as units. They go in as individuals. No command structure. No leverage. That’s the end of an independent Kurdish force.

Deir al-Zor (oil + wheat) and Raqqa (power) flip fast. Once those go, the Kurds lose their money and their bargaining power in one move.

The U.S. called it an “inflection point.” Meaning: we’re done backing them.

What actually happened is simple. Negotiations dragged on. Deadline passed. Syrian forces pushed forward. Kurds got cornered and took worse terms than they’d rejected for months.

Turkey’s the big winner. PKK-linked fighters get kicked out. Kurdish autonomy gets crushed. Ankara gets what it wanted without firing a shot.

The Kurds saw this coming. SDF commanders were openly asking the US to step in. After the deal? Silence. They got the message.

Now Damascus takes control of camps holding 50,000+ ISIS fighters and families. That’s a future problem.

Prediction: prison breaks within months, Turkish pressure on what’s left of Kurdish areas within a year, and the U.S. pretending none of this was a betrayal.

We used them to beat ISIS. Then watched them lose everything.

Turkish backed terrorists are rounding up Kurdish girls as sex slaves.

ISIS 2.0 is happening in Syria.

And the West is shaking hands with the terrorist leader of the country.

[Mutlu Civiroglu @mutludc]

Heart breaking scene again! Kurdish people fought ISIS on behalf of the world, and because of their sacrifices American and European cities are safer today.

Yet the very same Kurds who defeated ISIS and Al Qaeda are now under severe attack, facing repeated assaults by like minded extremist forces.

This is the reality they have been forced into, like this Kurdish family from Afrin who has been displaced like thousands of other families for the third time. @BarhamSalih @LindseyGrahamSC

[Tommy Robinson 🇬🇧 @TRobinsonNewEra]

Turkish-backed Syrian militias are releasing ISIS members from prisons in the city of Raqqa.

Kurds are being ethnically cleansed and the world is ignoring it.

Instead, hosting the terrorist leader of Syria.
