KRG requested defence system from US: Official
Also in World Paris to host next round of SDF-Damascus talks Israeli, Syrian officials meet in Paris US must pressure Syria to protect minority rights: USCRIF French, US officials to meet with Syrian FM in Paris: Source A+ A- ERBIL, Kurdistan Region - Erbil has asked the United States to provide the Kurdistan Region with a defence system after recent drone attacks targeted oil fields including some operated by American companies, a government official said on Friday. Safeen Dizayee, head of the Department of Foreign Relations in the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG), held a series of meetings with US officials and policymakers earlier this week during a trip to Washington. He said his discussions included providing a defence system for the Kurdistan Region to protect it from drone attacks blamed on Iraq's pro-Iran armed groups. 'They [the attacks] are concerning, given that we are trying to create self-reliance in the fields of oil and gas in Iraq. These attempts are aimed at preventing the development of the fields. We have discussed this [with the Americans] and they are concerned. We have also discussed the establishment of a defence system, not just to protect the interests of the American and foreign companies but those of Kurdistan and Iraq too,' Dizayee told Rudaw. Since early July, nearly 20 drone attacks have hit the Kurdistan Region, most targeting oil fields and causing significant financial losses. No group has claimed responsibility and there have been no new attacks since Erbil and Baghdad reached a new agreement on finances and oil exports last week. The KRG has directly accused Iraq's Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF), which includes pro-Iran groups, of being behind the drone attacks. Baghdad has denied the charge. The drones were seen by many as a pressure tactic by pro-Iran groups to make Erbil compromise with the federal government during negotiations over the resumption of the KRG's oil exports. The attacks have been condemned locally and internationally, including by the US, UK and UN. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio spoke by phone with Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia' al-Sudani earlier this week and 'stressed the importance of the Iraqi government holding the perpetrators accountable and preventing future attacks,' read a statement from State Department Spokesperson Tammy Bruce on Wednesday. The Iraqi government launched an investigation into the strikes but has yet to announce the results. The federal parliament failed to discuss the matter on Monday after Kurdish lawmakers boycotted the session for unknown reasons. Iraq is largely dependent on energy imports from Iran, though the supply is irregular. Baghdad is also working to direct its own natural gas to power generation plants and end the damaging practice of flaring. Gas imports from Jordan, Turkey, and Turkmenistan are also being considered. The United States in March rescinded a waiver allowing Iraq to purchase electricity from Iran as part of President Donald Trump's maximum pressure campaign against Tehran. KRG officials have repeatedly said that developing Kurdistan Region's gas fields will benefit the whole country but Iraqi officials have come out against some of its ventures, including a recent deal with an American firm to develop the Miran Gas Field through their newly formed joint company, Miran Energy.

As UK Bans 'Palestine Action' For Terrorism, Group's U.S. Branch, Called 'Unity Of Fields', Continues Posting In Support Of Terrorism On Its X Account
Unity of Fields, initially called Palestine Action U.S., is an extremist anti-U.S. and anti-Israel organization that was formed as a branch of the UK-based Palestine Action in February 2023.[1] It changed its name in 2024 to Unity of Fields, to express its emphasis on establishing solidarity between various "anti-imperialist" causes across the globe. It calls itself "militant front against the US-NATO-Zionist axis of imperialism."[2] On its X account, the organization regularly praises and glorifies Iran-backed terrorist groups, including Lebanese Hizbullah, Yemen's Ansar Allah Movement (the Houthis), as well as Hamas and other Palestinian jihadi factions. It regularly refers to slain terrorist leaders as "martyrs", including Hizbullah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah and Iran's slain IRGC Qods Force Commander Qassem Soleimani. The frequently and openly calls for anti-police and anti-ICE violence. It also lionizes Elias Rodriguez, who in May 2025 carried out a shooting attack outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C., where the American Jewish Committee was holding an event for young professionals, killing two Israeli Embassy employees. Unity of Fields' sister group, Palestine Action, has been recently proscribed as a terrorist organization in the UK, which makes supporting it a criminal offense.[3] The following report offers a selection of recent pro-terror posts from Unity of Fields' X account, organized into the following categories: Glorifying Washington DC Shooter Elias Rodriguez Calls For Violence Against The Police, ICE, And The U.S. Praising October 7, 2023 Attacks, Calling For Israel's Annihilation Praise For Iran-Backed Terror Groups And Their "Martyrs" Sharing Posts By Designated Terrorist Organization Samidoun As of July 10, 2025, the account has 14.9K followers, follows 688 accounts, and has made 5,513 posts. The account was established in June 2017. The account description lists the organization's Telegram account, website, encrypted ProtonMail account, and a backup X account. Glorifying Pro-Palestinian Shooter Elias Rodriguez Targeted Event Outside Capital Jewish Museum, Killing Two Sharing a post by "@Plz_Relax_" on May 22, 2025, Unity of Fields critiqued the post stating that "The people 'actually paying the price' are Palestinians facing genocide, and Elias Rodriguez who is now a political prisoner. And the people defending him the hardest, like us, are people also facing repression. The idea is absolutely absurd that PSL [Party For Socialism And Liberation] is a victim here and not a liberal NGO with access to hundreds of millions of dollars using their huge platforms with millions of followers to throw militants to the empire's dungeons rather than defending the armed resistance." Unity of Fields then reposted Bronx Anti-War's May 22, 2025 post stating "We need more Elias Rodriguez in this world."[4] For more on the Bronx Anti-War Coalition, see MEMRI TV clip No. 12030; for more on The Party For Socialism And Liberation, see clip no. 12024. The Unity of Fields X account posted on May 23, 2025: "What Elias Rodriguez did was an act of solidarity and love for the Palestinian people. If this seems crazy and unhinged to you, ask yourself why you are so well adjusted to a constant stream of disemboweled and starving children—made possible by the country in which you reside" followed by "A whole lot of you are good Germans".[5] On May 25, 2025, Unity of Fields replied to its own post promoting a pro-Elias Rodriguez zine on its website adding that now people can download, print, and post Elias Rodriguez stickers.[6] Sharing a post by user "@TovNaganin" on May 26, 2025, the Unity of Fields X account reposted a photo of a flyer with the text "Make Zionists Afraid" and a red triangle on top of a photo of murdered Israeli Embassy staffer Yaron Lischinsky.[7] On May 26, 2025, Bronx Anti-War posted "Elias Rodriguez is paving the way for resistance in the West, leading by example and moving beyond mere symbolic gestures or rhetorical support for the Palestinian cause. We endorse this statement and encourage all other organizations to do so as well" then replied to its own post saying "'Globalize the intifada' is not just a slogan, but a call to action!" Unity of Fields shared these posts.[8] On May 26, 2025, the Unity of Fields X account published a post encouraging people to sign on to the "Free Elias Rodriguez Organizing Committee," claiming his murders were a "legitimate act of resistance." The account replied to its post on May 28, 2025, reposting the address to write to Elias Rodriguez in jail.[9] On May 26, 2025, the Unity of Fields X account published a post encouraging people to sign on to the "Free Elias Rodriguez Organizing Committee," claiming his murders were a "legitimate act of resistance." The account replied to its post on the same day adding: "Elias Rodriguez's act was fully justified, at that place where legal and moral duties meet. It is clear that international law, which the West itself established and whose institutions are dominated by the interest of these imperialists, establishes a duty to take action to stop genocide, including the use of violence to do so."[10] On May 27, 2025, the Unity of Fields X account wrote a post stating: "Think of all of the images of absolute horror that we have seen in the past 4 days alone and then try to claim that what Elias Rodriguez did was wrong. Try to make an argument for why he isn't worth defending. Elias Rodriguez is the most moral man in Amerika."[11] Sharing a post from Zionist New York Congressman Ritchie Torres where Torres condemned the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) for standing with Elias Rodriguez on May 28, 2025, the Unity of Fields X account added: "These are the most principled DSA members in the country, and they are brave for standing with Elias Rodriguez and all political prisoners, despite DSA leadership's liberal zionism and traitorous collaborationism with the ruling class."[12] Promoting a song by X user "@cheinglorious" on May 30, 2025, the Unity of Fields X account encouraged its followers to listen to the song, followed by a photo of some of the lyrics of the song. The lyrics include "Uh free Elias Rodriguez. Film myself killing Zionists in hi res [high resolution]."[13] Sharing one of their own posts from May 26, 2025, the Unity of Fields account added: "Orgs and individuals, you can still sign onto this support statement for Elias! Use the link below or email on May 31, 2025.[14] On June 2, 2025, the Unity of Fields X account reposted from "@atlajala" "not sure if people are seeing this yet, but an Egyptian man, Mohamed Sabry Soliman, just attacked a zionist march in Colorado with molotovs." The account followed up by reposting its May 22, 2025 response to the murders of Israeli Embassy staffers Sarah Milgrim and Yaron Lischinsky "We ain't condemning shit."[15] The Unity of Fields X account posted and pinned a donation fund for Elias Rodriguez on June 7, 2025.[16] Reposting their pinned post, the Unity of Fields X account added "If you donated to Luigi's [Mangione] defense fund you should donate to Elias Rodriguez's. Or else you're a zionist social democrat" followed by a reply post stating "Nobody likes a 'healthcare only' cracker/cracker sympathizer. Give your bucks and prayers to the beloved third worldist assassin, Elias Rodriguez." Both posts were made on June 7, 2025.[17] On June 9, 2025, the Unity of Fields X account posted "Seen in Athens, Greece: 'DEATH TO ISRAEL, HONOUR AND FREEDOM TO ELIAS RODRIGUEZ'" accompanied by a photo of a large banner with those words.[18] Calls For Violence Against The Police, ICE, And The U.S. – "Dreaming Of 100,000,000 October 7ths Against The U.S." In a now-deleted post, the Unity of Fields X account wrote "THIS! Holding 'solidarity actions' for an ongoing uprising in the US is goofy.. single issue-pacifism brain. ICE is everyone's problem. Our focus right now should be turning the LA unrest into every city in Amerika unrest. Only militant, direct confrontation will get us there." [19] In a since deleted post, the Unity of Fields X account shared a repost of "@ok_but_still" which said "dreaming of 100000000000 october 7ths" and added "against the united states."[20] Shortly after the murders of Sarah Milgrim and Yaron Lischinsky, the Unity of Fields X account reposted one of its previous posts from September 4, 2024 that said "We reject the concept of 'peaceful protest' all together. There is no way to undermine empire peacefully. The point of our resistance is to reject their peace—white peace—which is built on the backs of the oppressed billions who live under the boot of US hegemony." [21] On May 13, 2025, the Unity of Fields X account posted "thread featuring our engagement with and interventions in the Student Intifada" which included reposting old Unity of Fields X posts.[22] Reposting its own May 3, 2025 post on May 13, 2025, the Unity of Fields X account promoted the Columbia Barnard College students' takeover of the Milstein Library.

Full mask off moment for all the 'movement organizations' who will turn your ass in to the Gestapo in the blink of an eye. We are not in unity with these counterinsurgent liberal zionists; our unity is based in shared principles of resistance." On the same day, the account reposted its original post and added "Very revealing moment now that there is actually an act of armed resistance from within the U.S. for self-proclaimed revolutionary organizations to support or condemn. Make no mistake, the ones who condemn are enemies of the revolution. They will sell you out and turn you in." [26] On June 7, 2025, the X account of Unity of Fields wrote: "Every militant taking the streets against these fascist amerikan entities must foreground internationalism as our fundamental project. When we say 'fuck ICE' we are saying 'Free Palestine', when we say 'globalize the Intifada' we are saying 'abolish the police.'" The account then responded to its own post, stating: "Some might even call this "unity of the fields" but we are just spit balling......"[27] On June 7, 2025, the Unity of Fields X account published a post reading: "The anti-ICE protests and anti-policing protests are also anti-genocide protests. Imperialism, colonialism and systemic white supremacy are global genocidal systems—one struggle. One enemy." The account then reposted it and added "Reactionaries will say this sounds like anti-semitism but they say everything sounds like anti-semitism. Are we seeking to overthrow the imperialist system that produces endless war, displacement, genocide, poverty and famine all over the world? Or are we playing paddy cake?" They later added the reply "What the state is making abundantly clear, especially in the past two years, is that there is no reformist option. They want to crush any movement whatsoever. The only way out of this is the radical, revolutionary path. The sooner begun the sooner done."[28] On X, Unity of Fields wrote on June 7, 2025: "One of the best things you can do for Gaza is start fuckin major problems in the US. ICE is looking for trouble..."[29] Reposting a February 6, 2025 post from its own account glorifying the "Student Intifada" protesting ICE in Los Angeles, the Unity of Fields X account added "The migrant youth showed us the way.

The whole country needs to go up, no mercy."[33] The Unity of Fields X account posted "Angelenos throwing Modelo Molotovs at ICE while wearing Keffiyehs.

Melt I.C.E." on June 9, 2025, the Unity of Fields X account added the caption "What NYC needs now is not another barricade-guarded standing-around hangout in downtown Manhattan pretending to be a protest. What NYC needs is mass revolt in the neighborhoods ICE is targeting. These uprisings are not just out of moral opposition to ICE! They're proactive self-defense against the Gestapo targeting our neighbors! Once we begin targeting ICE where they carry out their disappearances, we'll start seeing results. Burn their cars. Push them back. Make them afraid!"[38] On June 11, 2025, Unity of Fields posted a video on X of people in Tucson, Arizona attacking ICE agents with the caption: "The community in Tucson repels ICE invaders by spraying them with paint balls, throwing metal barricades and other projectiles, while defending the crowd with shields, helmets/goggles, and a tight formation.

No sir. It is America that controls Israel. If the Americans want to stop something, they can make it stop. The claim that the Americans cannot force Israel to do something is nonsense."[45] As a response to Israel bombing Iran's nuclear facilities, the Unity of Fields X account posted "Iran has more than a simple right to defend itself, it has a completely legitimate right to obliterate every amerikan presence in the region" on June 23, 2025.[46] In response to Iran launching rockets at the United States's Qatar base, on June 23, 2025, the Unity of Fields X account wrote "Hearing reports that a US base is getting bombed in kkkatar. We're praying for the safety of the Iranian missiles.

Why not uphold the armed anti-imperialist struggle as widely and loudly as possible?"[55] Unity of Fields on X reposted an article by "@AlAkhbarEn" with the quote "[The PFLP] maintained that targeting the enemy should not be restricted by geography, since the enemy itself had made the entire world a battlefield" on May 23, 2025.[56] X user "@nataliesurely" posted "All else aside, claims that 'the assassinated diplomats were peace crusaders killed at a humanitarian event' are straightforwardly, laughably untrue, and the point of insisting on it is to discredit anti-Israel sentiment as hopelessly confused and irrational." On May 24, 2025, Unity of Fields responded: "Strikingly similar to 'the music festival was a celebration for peace and everyone killed on 10/7 was a bleeding heart peace activist.'"[57] In response to the anti-ICE riots, on June 8, 2025, the Unity of Fields X account wrote "This level of militant, revolutionary internationalism in the heart of Amerika was unthinkable before the al-Aqsa Flood.

Kates wrote: "This is a time of war, a time of genocide. A time when everyone must choose a side: with the US-European empire and its Zionist project, or with Palestine and the people of the world. When we participate in the battle for humanity, we carry responsibilities." The account then posted "The more fronts we open here, the more difficult it is for the US-zio death machine to carry out its genocidal war in the Arab-Iranian region.

Chinese Social Media Video: China Cannot Accept Russia's Defeat, This Would Leave the West Free to Encircle It; China Would Use Various Measures to Help Moscow
On July 8, 2025, the 'Trustworthy Obscure History' channel on the Chinese social media platform Kuaishou posted a video titled 'China Cannot Accept Russia's Defeat.' The video discusses Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi's statement that China cannot afford for Russia to lose the war in Ukraine, explaining that this defeat would leave Western forces free to focus on encircling China, both strategically and economically. The narrator said that in this scenario, China would likely enter a 'firefighting mode' and offer economic bailouts, lock in large energy deals, and use other measures to protect Moscow from international pressures.
