However, despite all this, our Movement halted the war because it believes in Leader Apo’s strategy of a democratic society and democratic politics.

IF THEY TRY TO DESTROY US THROUGH WAR, WE CAN RESPOND 3-4 TIMES MORE THAN BEFORE

Our people and our society should also know this: we possess these capabilities. Yet we have chosen the path of democratic politics and we take democratic society politics as our basis. We want to implement this strategy.

However, if despite this, an extermination-oriented military attack is launched against us, if they try to destroy us using the old methods of war, we can respond 3-4 times more forcefully than before. We have the ability to respond not only in nearby areas but also in distant locations. Our Movement has this potential. Perhaps our people and those following from afar may not know this, but I believe state officials are aware of it.

UPDATE/ So far, 4 people have died and 18 people have been injured in 3 separate explosions. Entry and exit to Damascus was banned.
Regional sources claimed that the attack was carried out by French jihadist groups. Additionally, some sources stated that the attack was carried out by ISIS. No official statement has been made yet.

Media sources say that Deputy Minister of Tourism Faraj Al Kashkus was injured in the explosions in Damascus

A truth that must be acknowledged - otherwise Syria will never become safe:

The area in which these explosions occurred have been shut off since yesterday; in perhaps the biggest security operation that New-Syria has yet seen.
Everything has been searched and those who entered the security zone have been searched.
Without the participation/cooperation of Syrian Government Forces this terror attack would not have been possible - it is very clear that the Syrian security forces were part of this terror attack.

Which brings us back to the issue that we have been discussing for the past year: the Syrian security and intelligence apparatus is filled with members who are loyal to ISIS and other terroristic organisations.
The Jolani media sphere will naturally claim something else and it will be this exact claim that will prevent Syria from becoming a state that is safe to travel to.

As it stands now: several IEDs were hidden inside vehicles surrounding the four seasons Hotel in which Macron stayed in and the ministry of tourism. The explosions were followed by a second set of explosions hidden inside bins (a strategy to maximise the casualties).

4 people have been killed, dozens have been wounded; including the deputy ministry of tourism.

🚨URGENT/ATTENTION

An MIT-backed militias claimed responsibility for the attack in Damascus!

Asab al-Hamra—a radical jihadist group that was previously part of HTS and now operates under MIT coordination—claimed responsibility for the attack.

"We, who rose up in Syria in 2011 as the faithful soldiers of our faith, as soldiers who neither bow nor sleep in the face of the injustices done to our people in the Levant, claim responsibility for the blessed explosions that struck the centers of kufr (disbelief) in the Umayyad city of Damascus. This is a rejection of the current regime’s normalization and collaboration with the infidel states France and America, which are enemies of Islam.

We give you the glad tidings of more high-quality martyrdom and suicide operations in the coming days. This was only the beginning against apostates like Ahmed al-Shara, who have betrayed their covenant, their promise, and the religion of Allah, and who have preferred the religion of kufr over our sincere and true faith at the expense of our oppressed people in the Levant. May Allah not bless your humiliation before the infidels in the lands of the Umayyads.

Allah is All-Powerful over His affairs, but most people do not know this. As for the wrongdoers, they will soon understand the terrible fate that awaits them. All praise and thanks belong to Allah."

According to Rojnews, after the war with the USA and Israel, Iran has sent a large military force to the border of Eastern and Southern Kurdistan.

It has been reported that dozens of new bases have been built and a wall is being built in the border area between the city of Bane in Eastern Kurdistan and Pêncwên district in Southern Kurdistan.

This situation has made it very difficult for diggers to come and go and has created a great danger.

In the month of June, the Iranian regime started military operations in Bane, Pawe, Mariwan and Mehabad, and in some places there was a fight between the forces of the regime and the forces of the Eastern Kurdistan parties.

As a result of the war, 4 YRK guerrillas and 6 PDK-I peshmerga were martyred. In response to this, the Kurdistan Nationalist Youth punished 3 members of the regime. YRK also announced that Iranian security forces were killed and wounded in the war.

Part of this truth is also that this exact same sphere has put themselves into a position that makes it impossible for them to talk about this issue - for the past year they were at the forefront of telling the world that this chapter is over and that the former terrorists have become >pragmatic< patriotic Syrians overnight.

Their inability to exercise mild criticism (even critical thinking) has ultimately resulted in this event which will significantly affect New-Syrias short history.
Previous weeks we have seen report after report about the decline of ISIS and that Syria has degraded its operational capabilities - today we have witnessed an attack at a much larger scale than before and with a lasting impact on Syria.

Just the tip of the iceberg: The Syrian Ministry of Interior has immediately launched a campaign to save face; repeating this pattern of denial.

MOI claims 2 explosions
> footage shows 3 explosions

MOI claims that the IEDs were discovered
> footage clearly shows that the security forces were oblivious to the presence of the IEDs

MOI claims that the IEDs were about to be dismantled
> footage does not show any EOD units nor was the perimeter blocked

MOI claims that the explosions happened outside of the security zone
> footage shows the hotel directly next to the explosion

Even when faced with the consequences of their denial of reality - they can’t move away from the idea of creating different narratives to save face.

Reports of explosions on Qeshm island (Iran) - reportedly 8 consecutive explosions; likely airstrikes following the incident in the strait of Hormuz this morning.
