It will inevitably reduce the dependence on the strait of Hormuz but this isn’t the overall goal; it’s simply a welcomed effect.

Keep in mind that the pipeline can be struck at will by virtually any actor at any given time - this is exactly why the argument of the pipeline being a strategic move that weakens Iran is redundant; silly even.

And it’s not like the contracts with the gulf counties will become obsolete as soon as that pipeline exists - it’s additional oil/gas that add layer of economic stability to Europe but it won’t supply Europe on its own; even in combination with other countries such as Azerbaijan that supply the EU with gas.

One shouldn’t mix fiction and propaganda with the realities on the ground and one shouldn’t misinterpret the overall ambitions of the factions involved to glorify whatever faction. So that we are clear: the pipeline is good; it will benefit everyone.

It simply isn’t what many are interpreting it to be.

From another perspective it’s very interesting to see how normal news/developments are being interpreted to an extent in which it essentially becomes propaganda - much of it existing solely for some DC lobby groups to score points.

It’s a form of art in my opinion/ X: @ScharoBajalan

Hundreds of Turkish MIT operatives are entering Damascus.

Al-Julani is dismissing and sidelining men who do not belong to Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham, while the jihadist foreign fighters (muhajireen) are undergoing intensive training in Wadi Barada in the Qalamoun region (Damascus countryside). Many of them have already reached the Lebanese border in preparation for entering Lebanon.

The Ministry of Interior and the sovereign ministries have also been placed under the control of figures affiliated with Turkey, such as Abu Saeed and Abu Ahmed Hudud.

Lebanon’s entry into the conflict and its destruction could mark the beginning of a major war.

The Turkish intelligence is moving its mercenaries, including ISIS cells and others, in Hasakah and Serekaniye under the name of tribes, threatening the Kurds and Kurdish areas with war and giving a 24-hour ultimatum.

Another explosion reported in Erbil IRGC attacking with drones.

The names of those detained in the village of al-Nayrabiyah in the northern countryside of Aleppo, including children aged 14 and 16, are:

Mohammad Salah Mohammad
Hassan Salah Mohammad
Mohammad Abdul Qader Walo
Khaled Abdul Qader Walo
Abdul Jalil Haj Ali
Mohammad Nouri
Hamid Mohammad Hassan

The General Security forces of the Damascus government also assaulted women and the elderly.

Jihadist gangs affiliated with the Turkish state are attacking the Governor of Hasakah.

Al-Hasakah Governor Nureddin Ahmed and a delegation from the Syrian Presidency came under attack by jihadist gangs affiliated with the Turkish state during their visit to Serekaniye

The convoy, which came under heavy attack, was unable to enter Serêkaniyê. It is extremely dangerous for displaced people to return to their homes before the jihadist gangs affiliated with the Turkish state are driven out of Serêkaniyê.
In recent months, these gang groups had released footage threatening the Kurdish people.

Here is the footage!

Abdul Suleiman Al-Salem, a gang leader affiliated with the Turkish state, is seen declaring—amidst shouts of "Allahu Akbar"—that they would massacre displaced Kurds if they were to return.

Residents of the city of Tal Tamr and displaced people from Serekaniye (Ras al-Ayn) blocked the M4 international highway and several main roads in protest over the interception and attack on the convoy of the Governor of al-Hasakah while it was on its way to the Allouk Water Station for its official reopening.

A while ago the IRGC carried out an attack against a camp of the Komala north of Slemani - the same site that was struck 2 days ago.

The Komala announces that 6 of their Peshmerga have been wounded in this attack.
