🔰 Syrian Army Blocked The US Convoy Near Qamishli

Syrian army forces stopped the convoy of American occupying forces near Tal al-Dhahab area in the north of Hasakah province.

The convoy of the US occupation forces, consisting of four armored vehicles and covered by two attack helicopters, was about to pass near Tal al-Dhahab in the northern suburbs of al-Hasakah, but was stopped by the Syrian army checkpoint and forced to retreat.

It is worth mentioning that most of Hasakah province is under the US control and its proxies, ie the Syrian Democratic Forces. Nevertheless, the Syrian army is still present in a part of the center of Hasakah city (security square), as well as parts of Qamishli city and the south of this city, and in a network of posts and checkpoints in the northern suburbs of Hasakah province.

This is not the first time that the Syrian army prevents American convoys from passing around Qamishli; However, this incident took place, while the northeastern region of Syria is in the most tense situation due to the recent events.

In recent weeks, reports have been published showing that the US terrorist army plans to launch an operation against the SAA and its allies in the region with the aim of cutting off the border areas of Syria and Iraq. Although the Pentagon has denied the existence of such a plan earlier this week, the US military activities and the transfer of troops and equipment in Iraq and Syria say something else.

🔰 Iran’s IRGC Says Its Naval Branch Forced U.S. Warship To Back Down (Video)

Video footage showing a recent confrontation in the Strait of Hormuz between an amphibious assault ship of the United States Navy and speed boats of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) was released on August 19 during the 24th assembly of the guard’s commanders in the Iranian capital of Tehran.

IRGC Navy Chief Rear Admiral Ali Reza Tangsiri said U.S. helicopters were forced to land on the back deck of the ship shortly after taking off, following the arrival of speed boats deployed by the Zolfaqar flotilla present near the scene.

In the footage, Iranian speed boats can be seen monitoring and chasing the American ship, which was identified as USS Bataan.

This was the first time U.S. naval forces infiltrated into the Gulf waters in around two years, Tangsiri pointed out, adding that the standoff took place on August 17.

Tangsiri stressed that security in the Gulf can be maintained by neighboring countries without the presence of any foreign forces.

The standoff came amid rising tensions between Iran and the U.S. Navy in the Persian Gulf. In July, the Pentagon deployed F-35 and F-16 fighter jets, along with several warships and additional marines to the Middle East, in order to deter Iranian naval forces who seized two tankers in the gulf earlier this year. The IRGC responded by holding a series of naval drills earlier this month.

🔰 #Yemen: British Troops Enter Hadhramaut

Local sources in the Hadhramaut Governorate, eastern Yemen, reported that they observed presence of British Special Forces in the Al-Sheen farms in Ghayl Bawazir town.

The British forces have entered the area with the support of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) forces and they intended to establish a military base in the Al-Sheen farms, but they faced opposition from the owners of the farms.

Since the beginning of the Yemen war, no accurate information or details have been released about the presence of British troops in the war-torn country.

It seems that Britain does not have a permanent and transparent military presence in Yemen; so, most of the British forces’ movements in Yemen have been temporary or concentrated in the form of Combined Task Force 153 in Yemen’s territorial waters.

British security and intelligence forces are also present at their temporary embassy in the city of Aden and they play an important role in security issues in southern regions of the Arab country.

🔰 #Infographic: Unidentified Gunmen Assassinate 366 People In South Syria In 2022

The information, which have been collected from the tensions and unrest in southern Syria, show that some 366 people were killed by unidentified gunmen in southern Syria throughout 2022.

ISWNews Analysis Group – A media outlet affiliated to the militants active in the Arab country reported that the statistics on the killings of people in southern Syria, which have been released newly, show that about 366 Syrian soldiers plus former militants, and Syrian government officials and so on were killed all through 2022.

The published statistics are as follows:
1- Assassination of 186 members of the Syrian armed forces and allies.
2- Assassination of at least 17 Syrian political officials
3- Assassination of 56 former militants (people who joined the Syrian armed forces after the reconciliation plan)
4- Assassination of 64 former militants (people who returned to normal life after the reconciliation plan and turned into civilians)
5- Assassination of 26 members of terrorist groups such as ISIS, Free Syrian Army, and so on
6- Assassination of 17 drug dealers

It is worth mentioning that the southern regions Syria have always been susceptible to chaos, armed conflicts, assassination, and so on, because there have been dormant terrorist cells and the initial militants in those areas since the onset of foreign-backed war in the Arab country.

The spread of assassination and insecurity in southern Syria has clearly affected economic activity and people’s lives; so, despite the fact that several years have passed, insecurity has not yet been completely eradicated. Therefore, the lack of a clear horizon for the end of insecurity is driving many residents of southern Syria to come to the conclusion that they have to migrate from their residential areas.

US Troops Stationed In Six Points In Yemen: Ansar Allah Movement

Based on the information of Ali al-Qahoum, member of the political bureau of the Ansar Allah movement, the US occupying forces are deployed in 6 points in Yemen.

In a Twitter message, al-Qahoum said that the Yemeni capital Sana’a is closely monitoring the continuous movements of US military forces and their relocation in the Al-And base, the Khur Amira district on the coastal area of Lahij Governorate, Hadhramaut and Al-Mahrah areas as well as in Socotra and Mayyun Islands.

He also emphasized the independence and sovereignty of Yemen, as well as the ability of the Yemeni army to safeguard shipping process and combat terrorism.

The Ansar Allah member went on to say that the unjustified presence of US military forces in Yemen is a danger to the West Asia region, and the Americans’ actions to control and be present in Bab al-Mandab Strait, in addition to violating international laws, threaten international and regional security as well.

Al-Qahoum also concluded his message by warning that the Ansar Allah movement will not remain idle in the face of any conspiracy against Yemen and the region, adding that the presence of the US in the Arab country will not take long, and the people of this territory will stand against aggression towards Yemen as well as dangerous conspiracies against the region by the use of changing the rules of engagement and increasing military capabilities and industries.

The Ansar Allah movement’s repeated warnings come after an announcement by the US military to deploy three thousand military personnel along with two amphibious ships and an assault ship in the Red Sea and Bab al-Mandab Strait.

According to al-Qahoum’s statements and the movements made by the United States’ Ambassador to Yemen Steven Fagin, as well as other American advisors, US soldiers are stationed in six points in Yemen, including the Al-And base, the Khur Amira district on the coast of Lahij Governorate, Hadhramout region (Al-Rayyan Air Base), Al-Mahrah (perhaps Al-Ghaydah Air Base), as well as Socotra and Mayyun Islands.

The widespread deployment of American troops and their presence in those areas indicate that the US has planned to control the southern and southwestern coasts and islands of Yemen. The increase in US military presence in the Bab al-Mandab Strait and Hormuz Strait is aimed at controlling the passage of ships and monitoring Iran’s movements in this route.

The US officials are worried about the formation of an Iran-centered naval coalition in particular following the reconstruction of relationship between the Islamic Republic and regional Arab states; so, all these issues plus the Iranians’ support for Yemen have prompted the Americans to enter the maritime battlefield with the axis of resistance to maintain their position among the Arabs’ ranks.
