MOVEMENT IN IRAN: KURDISH FORCES UNITE AGAINST THE REGIME
A new political coalition of major Iranian Kurdish parties has been announced, bringing together long-divided groups into a unified front against the Islamic Republic of Iran. The coalition says it will coordinate politically and in the field, support nationwide protests and push for democratic change, Kurdish self-determination and rights protections. Parties involved include the Kurdistan Freedom Party, Kurdistan Free Life Party (PJAK), Democratic Party of Iranian Kurdistan, Khabat Organization and Komala Party of Iranian Kurdistan.
Powerful statements from Kurdistan PM @masrourbarzani :
"God created me #Kurdish. I cannot deny it and I'm proud of being a #Kurd... Whether I live in Iraq or anywhere else, I am a Kurd and I cannot change that identity and I will never change that identity.
The #Kurds, like every other nation, have equal rights. Kurds have the same rights that Arabs have, Persians have, and the Turks have.
Stability comes when we acknowledge that rights are universal, not exclusive…”
Mr. President @realDonaldTrump thank you for your continued support and diplomacy toward the people of Kurdistan. We believe in a stronger and more prosperous future together. Make Kurdistan great again. ✊🏼

Watching the deteriorating situation in Syria with great concern. The Kurds are under threat from the new Syrian government that is aligned with Turkey.
It would be a disaster for America’s reputation and national security interests to abandon the Kurds, who were the chief ally in destroying the ISIS caliphate.
Therefore, I will be introducing legislation this week designed to impose crippling sanctions on any government or group engaged in hostilities against the Kurds. The Save the Kurds Act, I believe, will receive strong bipartisan support and must have teeth to make it effective.
Stay tuned.
If Rojava is defeated, next will be the KRG.
Remember what ISIS wanted to do in both NE Syria and Northern Iraq. Only coordinated Kurdish armies can stop the Jihadi ghazwas.
This senator @LindseyGrahamSC is the only one of 300 million Americans who has always supported the Kurds, so we are proud of you as Kurds Lindsey…
Please share it…
“Kurdit elävät alueilla, joissa aselevot ovat heikkoja ja turvallisuusuhkat jatkuvat. Pysyvä ratkaisu vaatii tunnustusta ja oikeudenmukaisuutta.”

Di yanzdehemîn salvegera têkşikandina terorîstan li Kobanê de, em silavan li Şervan û Pêşmergeyên qehreman re dişînin ku bi piştgiriya Hevpeymanan di berxwedaneke qehremanî de, rê nedan Kobanê bikeve destê terorîstên DAIŞê û serkeftineke mezin di dîroka gelê Kurd de tomar kirin. Ew serkeftin serkeftina tevahiya gelê Kurdistanê bû, serkeftina mirovahiy�� bû li ser teror û tarîtiyê.
Following my ongoing work in the Knesset and on the international stage
as President of the Kurdish Community in Israel, and as the one leading the lobbying, mobilization, and public advocacy efforts on behalf of the Kurdish people
MK Amit Halevi sent a formal and forceful letter to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The letter states clearly and unequivocally:
“It is the basic moral duty of the State of Israel to act, to the fullest extent of its ability, to prevent the continuation of the killing campaigns against the Kurdish people — especially in light of the silence of the international community.”
The struggle continues.
We do not remain silent in the face of massacre.
We do not abandon our allies.
This is a moral, ethical, and strategic test for the State of Israel.

Wow, if true, ISIS would love that.
A small footprint of Americans working with locals is an insurance policy against the reemergence of ISIS and an attack on our homeland.
I believe it’s time for a new approach and new eyes on Syria. I am confident that many senators – on both sides of the aisle - share my concerns about the implications of withdrawal when Syria is so unstable.
God bless President Trump and all under his command.

Northeast Syria is deeply concerning. The ceasefire must hold. Any security breakdown—especially at ISIS detention sites—risks international consequences. Kurds across Iraq and Syria are steadfast partners and should be treated as such. The world is much safer because of them. 🇺🇸
