| Fake News Iranian Twelver Style |
25 January 2020: We begin Part IV of the Iran series by noting that the fake news reported in Iranian media is not really that different from what the American public recieves from ABC, CBS or NBC and all of its subsets. The above image is touted as a recent "anti-US rally." In reality it is photo of a Shi'a religious procession known as Arba'een Chechelom that was taken on Safar 20 (October 19, 2019).

| Iraqi Shi'a to US Troops: "Leave to Live" |
The above images are from the Khamenei regime's Keyhan newspaper, show pro-Iranian demonstrators advising US troops to "Leave [Iraq] to Live" and "Leave to Survive." These IRGC-QF-led demonstrators also hung in effigy a manikin of President Trump and three uniformed US soldiers. The threats against US troops continues day in and day out. Truly, the Iranian Twelver regime and its proxies are the Nazi's of the 21st century.
Meanwhile, all across Iraq and Iran, and even in Lebanon, there are anti-Iran protests. Yesterday the Amal militia in Beirut attacked an anti-Iran demonstration. The Lebanese army immediately came to the defense of the demonstrators. Late word that the downtown area of Basra, Iraq is in flames today.
The US military confrontation with Iran continues unchanged. The US position that was made clear by President Trump as the Davos economic summit has several bullet points.
Firstly, bilateral relations between the US and Iraq are far deeper than just the presence of US forces in the country. Any talks must take all aspects into account.
Secondly, NATO will be taking on an increased role in the fight against Islamic State. To this end the establishment and/or expansion of bases in the territory of the Kurdistan Regional Government (Erbil) seems is highly likely.
FFinally, the defense of the large US base at al-Tanf on the Syrian-Iraqi-Jordanian border region from encroachment by Iranian and Syrican forces will be robust; confronting of IRGC-QF and proxy forces at various points along the Iraqi-Syrian border and denial of access to all land corridors linking Iran to Syria and Lebanon, plus denying access of Russian forces to the Iraqi-Syrian border region.
