British Islamic Scholar Asrar Rashid: The Final Caliphate Will Emerge from Jerusalem; Palestinian Uprisings Are Harbingers – The NATO-Backed, Nike-Wearing, McDonald's-Eating Jihad of ISIS Is Meant to
British Islamic scholar Asrar Rashid said in an interview with journalist Dilly Hussein that final Caliphate will be established out of Jerusalem, and that past and current Palestinian 'uprisings' are harbingers of this. He said democracy does not work for Muslims, calling it a 'tyranny,' and cited examples such as the West orchestrating a coup against Hamas in the Palestinian Authority and the ouster of Muslim Brotherhood President Mohamed Morsi in Egypt. Rashid claimed that the 'Nike-wearing,' 'McDonald's-eating,' Mossad-backed 'so-called' Jihad of ISIS is intended to distort the concept of Jihad and invalidate the 'real Jihad' of the Palestinians. He added that Jews would be safe and welcome in the Caliphate, provided they pay the jizya poll tax. The interview was conducted at Lozells Central Mosque in Birmingham as part of the launch of Rashid's book Intellectual Intifada: Blueprint for Restoring the Caliphate.

Iraq to resume oil exports via Turkiye's Ceyhan port
Shafaq News – Kirkuk Iraq will resume crude exports through Turkiye's Ceyhan port within two days, Oil Minister Hayan Abdul-Ghani announced on Wednesday. At a press conference at the Jambur oil field, Abdul-Ghani confirmed that the Kurdistan Region produces around 230,000 barrels per day (bpd). Of this, approximately 50,000 bpd are consumed locally, while about 80,000 bpd will be transferred to the federal oil ministry for export via Ceyhan. Crude flows through the pipeline have been halted since March 2023, following a ruling by the International Chamber of Commerce that supported Baghdad's position requiring federal authorization for all oil exports. The suspension arose from longstanding disagreements between the Iraqi government and the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) over export rights and revenue distribution. Earlier today, the minister arrived in Kirkuk to inaugurate a new wet oil processing facility at the Jambur oil field. Developed in partnership with an Italian firm, the station is designed to handle up to 90,000 bpd. Abdul-Ghani also outlined plans to increase Kirkuk province's output from 350,000 bpd to 600,000 bpd. British oil major BP is expected to begin operations in the area within a month. Additionally, the oil ministry is preparing to officially open new facilities for the North Oil Company. The project is led by Italian firm Mandresi, which previously helped raise the Jambur oil field's output capacity to 90,000 bpd.
