Exactly.

We have for years been trying to sweet talk Iran to move against the PKK in a coordinated effort, so far nothing has materialized. It's about time we get rid of the carrot and use the stick.
Yeah but I don’t expect the current government to do anything about it. They are surprisingly very passive about Iran for some reason.
Simply because no one will stand on Turkey's side when they fight against Iran. Iran's strength is in their number of allies....

In a one on one fight, Turkey will win against Iran but will be a tough one; however, a victory is a victory nonetheless

If Turkey did attack Iran, radicals like Hizbollah, Hamas, PKK, and many more elements in Iran will unite against Turkey. Arab nations will claim neutrality and Asian nations will also stay out of this especially with the deep China-Iran ties and obviously dont depend on the greatest hypocrites to ever exist, Western nations, to help

Therefore, Turkey will end up fighting a coalition of radicals across the whole Turkish nation borders within more than one front alone..... this fight wont end well for Turkey

The reason is what we discussed above.

We can not sustain a prolonged conflict with Iran (proxies) and can not react to an Iranian response to the violation to Iranian sovereignty in case of a military operation inside Iran.

The problem is not a lack of tactical capabilities to carry out such an operation. With the needed preparations we can do it, but we will not be able to manage the damage after that.

In counter-terrorism operations, unconventional warfare and low-intensity conflicts like the one we see, sustainability is a key for the positive outcome of all the efforts. As we proved we can effectively sustain and adapt to the current tempo of the conflict and the challenges that are before us, but I am not confident that we would be able to resist the pressure of an Iranian response and we may lose all the progress we've made in Iraq in a matter of months.

My take is that apart from the technical capabilities that we should obtain in order to be able to effectively protect and sustain our military presence in Iraq, we should also work on a counter-measure in the unconventional side of things. We should prevent the spreading of "Kurdistan Hezbollah" as the IRGC calls the newly formed organization that will be active in KRG and establish deeper connection with local actors close to the KDP.

A very good development is the fact that the Hashdi Shaabi is mad about a Turkish meddling in the relationship between the Turkmen PMU fighters with the PMU leadership and objectives. We reportedly used Turkmen fighters in a covert operation against PUK targets. So this means that if we play our cards right we may be able to restore our influence within the Turkmens in Iraq and hopefully train and arm them within another project away from the Hashdi Shaabi. This may give a birth to both military, but also political victories. In such a case we must step up our game and I hope that we have the resources for it because we have other things to think of like Syria, Libya and Somalia.

Those are interesting developments and to be honest a good move from Iraq. State assets used to promote terrorism should be punished harsher, if proven with evidence, should result in prison time no less than 15 years with good behavior.

Infantry Non-Commissioned Officer Habip Murat ALP fell martyr during a search and destroy operation in the Claw-Lock area of operations. He is the first martyr we lost due to an ambush/infiltration by the PKK's field teams in 2024. May Allah accept his martyrdom!

There are also some good news from our operations. According to one of our best sources, we killed 2 terrorists yesterday and at least 5 today in operations at the Tepe Bahar and Seri areas of Zap.


Meanwhile regular airstrikes and T-129 Atak activities are continuing at the usual places. Operations in Hakurk are intensifying.

There are very important changes when it comes to our command and operations planning staff in the north of Iraq.

The commander of 2nd Army, General Metin TOKEL was appointed as the new commander of 1st Army.

The commander of 23rd Infantry Division, General Emre TAYANC is appointed as the new Deputy Commander of the Aegean Army.

1723242872098.png


The new commander of the 23rd Infantry Division is General Rifat DONEL. He comes from the position of the commander of the 28th Mechanized Infantry Brigade in TRNC.

We currently don't know what is the reason for these decisions, but for sure our commanders did an incredible job during these years. The Claw-Lock series of operations are of critical importance for the security of Turkiye. I wish even greater success of our new commanders and lets hope we manage to conclude the "Lock" as soon as possible.

New Toy?

The lock is closing!

📍 Northern Iraq, Claw-Lock Operation Area


Not exactly new, but this is the toy that have shot down so many PKK drones recently. I initially thought it is Aselsan GOKER, but looks like we got a modernized, unmanned 40mm Bofors there.

📍 Northern Iraq / Claw-Lock Operation Area

Terror targets are being destroyed one by one.

Analysis by one of our main sources regarding the operations in the north of Iraq.

We hope we will not have any more problems this winter on Mount Matin. Here are the advantages we see in the area:

> Bases are being established on the Sergele passage and the hill to the east.
> Base is being established on the hill line to the south of the mountain, which the organization uses for infiltration.
> Base is established on the hard slope to the east of the mountain.
> Base is being established opposite the tunnel at the southern foot of the mountain.
> Additionally, there are improvements in all base areas in the area.

In addition to these, we see that the Peshmerga's effectiveness in the region has increased. Now, the three tunnels in the mountain are in sight and the routes used by the organization for infiltration have been taken under control.

The organization's fortifications in the villages near Gara (Mije and Spindar) were also destroyed. The Turkish Armed Forces are now intervening more harshly against the PKK presence in civilian areas.

When we examine the map, we can say that we see that there are no blind spots left for the TSK bases. Now there may be a threat to the bases in the south, but we also see that convoys go every evening for the base areas there.

So it looks like everything that needs to be done has been done. Hopefully we won't have any problems on Mount Matin this year. But there are base areas closer to the villages now. Hopefully we won't encounter serious problems from these villages.

Extremely important developments in Iraq.

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan:

The Memorandum of Understanding between Turkiye and Iraq on Military, Security Cooperation and the Fight Against Terrorism was just signed by the Defense Ministers of both countries.

This agreement is of historical importance.

We believe that we will take our cooperation to the next level through the Joint Coordination and Training Centers foreseen in this agreement.

We wish to advance the understanding we are developing with Iraq on the fight against terrorism with concrete steps on the field.

We will continue our contacts in this direction without interruption.


There will be a Turkiye-Iraq Joint Security and Coordination Center established in Baghdad and the Bashiqa Turkish military base will be turned into a Turkiye-Iraq joint military training base. According to the Iraqi MoFA, Fuad Hussein the responsibility for the base will be of the Iraqi Army.


The Iraqi Army presence in the base can possibly grant immunity against Iranian proxy and PKK attacks.

Very good news came from the Sida tunnel in Zap.

While trying to escape the tunnel, the terrorist that was taking place in the "RED" Most Wanted List with a code name "Alan Milazgir", Ender Budancer was killed together with another terrorist "Sara Tolhildan". Ender Budancer was the PKK leader responsible for the health/hospitals system and the terrorist that was terminated together with him was apparently appointed as a medic in the tunnel. They were killed on 21st June while trying to escape the tunnel.

The place we call the Sida tunnel was the organization's hospital in the east of Zap. A couple years ago, Zap's field commander Siyabend was also killed while trying to escape from the tunnel.

Ender Budancer was looking for a way to escape the tunnel for 2 years.

I don't like it that our Army is treating terrorists like regular soldiers, take one POW and send the rest to donkey heaven. Waste of space in prison and taxpayer money.

Eradicate those who follow this rotten ideology, don't treat their wounds, don't feed them and don't waste your time to fix them.


You do that and you will be no different from either the PKK or radicals like the jews of israel or even Western imperialist powers such as the US, France, and the UK

As long as they fight, then the TSK has every right to butcher them; however, if they raise the white flag, then those who surrendered should be jailed and questioned to obtain as much intel as possible in order to confront the PKK more efficiently

No matter how tough the road ahead is, Turkey should never lose its humanity or it will really be no different from those fqers mentioned above

For a change to happen, morals and values must be held with an iron will

Good luck with that mentality against radical terrorists.

That humanist mentality is the reason those vermins spread to every corner of Türkiye and are involved in organized crime. It‘s this mentality that gave them a place in Parliament and still is even though openly supporting seperatism and now they are even funded by foreign NGO‘s. This pthetic mentality is the reason the country is weakened from the inside, it‘s the reason they formed a terrorist hub in Syria with western backing.

I‘m rather a radical that cuts off the rotten branches than a humanist sheep that waits until the infection spreads to the roots.

You can‘t fix them, they are born and grew up with hate, the only medicine that works is 9mm.

I dont think that you are a radical but I believe that you are misdirecting your anger at the wrong factor. It isnt humanity that caused the PKK spread throughout Turkey but incompetent politicians does......

It was the politicians who ruled Turkey from the 1980s till 2016 who allowed PKK to spread without consequences; under the guise of peace talks and democracy; all for the sole purpose of appeasing their Western-Zionist masters within the US and EU

Little did they know that this was the US plan all along to dismantle Turkey from within either due to lack of foresight or maybe they did but didnt care since the West was feeding them and probably gave them assurances for keeping their jobs in the future or probably they were scared of the West plotting a coup against them uding the TSK if they rebelled just like with Erdogan and the 2016 coup

Even now, western-backed Turkish politicians keep supporting HDP and DEM parties to the point of even CHP transferring MP members from its party to the DEM/HDP coalition so that they can have a stronger voice in parliament. Before 2016, Erdogan (like a fqing idiot) once proposed to pardon many PKK members from their crimes against the Turkish nation in exchange for peace in order to appease the West and even reached the point of asking for an alliance with those terrorists

Not only the politicians but the public as well; liberal a**holes (regardless of nationality) deserve to be shot in the head especially when they support such pricks under the banner of freedom of thought/expression/life

Moreover, the PKK isnt a company that you can kill by using 9mm guns since the PKK is a shitty, fake, belief implanted by the US within Kurdish populations in Syria, Iraq and Turkey to dismantle all the three nations above; therefore, if you wanna cure the PKK, then there is only one of 3 choices
1- Kill all the Kurdish origin citizens within Turkey, Syria, and Iraq
2- Kill/Stop/ Hinder the main source/mastermind of the PKK which is the US
3- Convince the kurdish populace that the PKK is a bad path

Turkey for now doesnt have the necessary toops for any of the 3 factors mentioned above and I dont want to see Turkey commiting genocide for people who arent even worth it; the only thing possible rn is military intervention to push those pricks away from the border to stabilise Turkey at least and that is why Turkey's enemies are trying to put a stop to that

Dude, better stick to Albania/Kosovo problems instead...

My boy @CAN_TR knows exactly what is the best way to solve these problems in Turkey- a hard boot on the neck of every PKK sympathizer, a bullet in the head of every bastard who damages the Country... striping every PKK rat off their citizenships and properties- no matter if he does PKK propaganda on Twitter or throws a rock at a police officer.

Dude talks as if he knows how they are, buddy every Kurd from Türkiye and Syria here in Austria is a PKKian, they are collecting money and support PKK, i know them very well their mentality their sneaky attidute. Alone always quiet and friendly, in packs always like straydogs we saw that once again during the EURO 2024. They were born and raised here but they are even more radical than those in Türkiye. PKK is just the roof were they come together, the real problem however are their supporters they have to be targeted because those radical fanatics are the source for terrorists.

Radical problems need radical solutions, @Deliorman already mentioned what to do i would even go further and punish the whole family, which is most likely the source of their radicalism and motivation.

THIS IS NOT RACISM.

Start with your own PKK-fans first, like the ones at the Boğaziçi University (Robert College Holding).

There are 200 universities in Turkey, but only 1 of them rejects, boycots and dont support the Turkish domestic defence industry (not one professor or student).

And thats the Boğaziçi University.

Erdogan is the most softy leader of the world. A hard and great dictator would have burned and closed this extreme left 'university' years ago.

Erdogan must go quickly. We need a new Kenan Evren: hard measures, iron fists, mass executions, clear rules. Because iur country is infected with a great marxistic woke-lgbtqrxvhukn-virus.
