Iraq unveils plans for security of borders with Türkiye, Iran - Türkiye News

The Iraqi Interior Ministry has announced the implementation of a comprehensive eight-phase plan to enhance the security of its borders with Türkiye and Iran.

I wonder if it's even realistic at this point..

It is in the best interest of Iraq to establish border security and overall public security in the north of Iraq by reinforcing the statehood in coordination with KRG. I am sure there are patriotic people in Iraq who wants the best for their country, but unfortunately as you said there are all sorts of malign activities supported by Iran to the level that I am not even sure that if serious steps are taken towards this initiative, the responsible in Iraq will live even a month after this step is taken.

The points at which TSK established checkpoints and bases are Kani Balave, Bilozan and Baze. TSK also started distributed leaflets to apologize for the inconvenience to the local people.

Meanwhile TSK required the village of Dergele to be immediately evacuated by its inhabitants. This comes after our Serhat counter-mortar radar detected mortar fire at our forces in Metina. This morning TSK entered the village and gave 24 hours to the locals to evacuate. It is reported that all of the inhabitants managed to evacuate the village today.

Our main source updated the Claw Lock map.

1 > Turkish Armed Forces units advanced by land and deployed around Kani Balave, Babire and Bilozan villages.
2 > It is thought that there is no PKK presence in Hanke and its surroundings, south of Gapnerk Mountain.
3 > The mountain range between Babire and Bilozan was taken by TSK.

The camp is not completely surrounded, but it is thought that the PKK can't send reinforcements inside. Maybe it is surrounded...

If we look at the statements of the PKK, there are operations on several tunnels. If the villages are cleared, it is possible to lay a very strong siege on 5 tunnels.

-The map has a margin of error.

Peshmerga Brigade Commander Muhsin Rashid Muhammed was found dead in Erbil. He is taking an important position within the Peshmerga Ministry of the KRG and his wife Viyan Sabri is the parliamentary leader of KDP in the Iraqi Parliament.

Local media and PKK sources initially reported that he was killed. In result of the investigation the police authorities in KRG stated that he was alone in the time of his death and he suicided with an AK type assault rifle inside his vehicle.

His wife, Viyan Sabri is known for her stance against PKK. She criticized the Iraqi Central Government on multiple occasions regarding their inability to remove PKK from the territory of KRG, their wrong policies on positioning PKK in Sinjar and blamed PKK for the unfortunate events in the north of Iraq.

We reported that Dergele village was being evacuated.

The Ministry of National Defence claimed that there are 6 PKK terrorists that were killed in Metina. A part of these terrorists were a group trying to get out of Dergele village, but was intercepted by TSK.

Local sources report that intense airstrikes took place in the Deraluk countryside

In Metina, there is a T-129 ATAK activity against the organization.

Apart from the airstrike in the Deraluk countryside there were at least 3 UCAV shots at a barn inside Deraluk.

Deraluk is a big town. In such a large place, UCAV strikes are very rare, other than hunting for leaders.

There may be 2 different scenarios here. One of them is connected with the supply route from Gara towards Tepe Bahar and its surroundings or there is a PKK preparation for an attempt to infiltrate the Linik Mountain or the position at Seri.
