Earlier today, IRI adjustes the number of casualties of the twin bombings in Kerman down to 89, but sadly an 8 years old boy and a 90 years old man died because of their injuries increasing the casualties to 91 deaths

The security forces have identified one of the suicide bombers to be a visitor from #Tajikistan but the identity of the second terrorist is still unknown.

It's now official that the ISIS of #Afghanistan was behind the dual bombs in Kerman.

I would love to visit Tajikistan one day. Their pure Persian dialect is so lovely to hear and have so much history there I can only dream about these days.

I should have done it when I was healthier and had the means.

Just watched a documentary about a guy who traveled there for a month all around the country and complained about inability to communicate because bit many people speak English there.

This is a picture of the fruit market in Dushanbe the capital city.

Iranian defense industry just announced that the drone manufacturing facility in Tajikistan is fully operational!

The news was reported about a year ago, but it didn't go into production until recently. The "Ababil-2" is a larger drone with bigger payload and more versatile use fhan the low cost Shahed 134 that's been on the news a lot lately.

On May 17, 2022, Iran inaugurated a drone factory in neighboring #Tajikistan. The factory is officially #Iran’s first drone production facility abroad and will manufacture and export the Ababil-2, a multipurpose drone with reconnaissance, combat, and suicide capabilities. With this factory, Iran intends to reinforce bilateral relations and reduce recent tensions with Tajikistan, address shared security concerns on the Afghan border, boost profits in a growing export market, and complicate Israeli efforts to further sabotage its drone program.

No reliabld information about the source of the engine and electronics used in those drones are available other than some speculations by Israeli and Azeri media.

There are news of #Venezuela, #Nicaragua, #Ethiopia and 2 other countries interested in license manufacture Iranian designed drones, but the information can't be verified.

This is also not including the roumers of Russia manufacturing Shahed drones domestically with the code name #Geran2 that was used by the 100s in the past year to target Ukrainian facilities and to overwhelm their air defense system.

"Don't be scared, be prepared.

I am issuing the warnings and watches now for the areas I expect to move over the next 7 days in South Europe , and the Mideast.

Each location is covered in detail, and I encourage everyone to have an earthquake plan, develop an emergency kit, and to make note of each area warned in this video (keep track of the list as the locations are struck over the next 7 days). I hope I am completely wrong, and the whole forecast flops quite frankly.

But... when someone is walking up your front steps, are you shocked when you hear a knock at the door?

This new push is coming across the plate boundaries now (from the Indo-Australian plate movement).. it has currently struck Tajikistan, and the wave is heading to Europe next. What stands in the way of the wave reaching Europe, and spreading to the Mid-atlantic like normal? The new broken area in Turkey stands in the way.

It should break again, in the next few days going up to 5-7 days tops. The magnitude should be up to 1 full magnitude larger than the previous 6.3 and should strike the border of Syria about 100 miles East of the previous 7's from two weeks ago."

#Azerbaijjan officially sides with #Ukraine. Today they called #Russia an occupier, aggressor and condemned Moscow for crimes against humanity in Ukraine on national television. They also threatened #Iran with the separation of Azerbaijanis from #Tehran’s rule.

The shit is getting more complicated.

The dictatorship of Azerbaijan sides with Ukraine (what a shocker) and their call for separating Iranian northern provinces is so similar to Russia's claim on the Ukraine regions!

I truly hope things don't get any worse, because a conflict between Iran and Azerbaijan will bring #Turkey, #Armenia, #Tajikistan and #Uzbekistan into the conflict. Not to mention #Chechnia and other regions of southern Russia.

This madness has no end!

According to news sources in Iran, the first batch of Iranian #Shahed drones will arrive in #Armenia sometimes next week!

This is the first official announcement by the IRI regime about the sale of it's low cost (less than $20k) #kamikaze #drones.

There are also reports of negotiations between #Tajikistan and Iran's regime to purchase a range of reconnaissance and attack drones from #Iran. No specifics about the negotiations has been made public.

In another news, the head of #IRGC defence industrial group said that some 20 countries have shown interests in purchasing Iranian made drones, but failed to mention the names.

It is sad that the only thing #IRI is exporting is death and destruction!

Long perceived as a buffer zone, post-Soviet Central #Asia received significant amounts of #military equipment, aid, and training from the international community in order to contain the threat of a mass exodus of refugees from #Afghanistan. None of this assistance, however, could have prepared the region for this unprecedented influx of people from its former colonial and imperial center.

December 1st - A Day to Write To Prisoners!

Prisoners for Peace Day

December 1st is Prisoners for Peace Day. On this day (and every day) we encourage you to show #solidarity with the #activists and #ConscientiousObjectors imprisoned due to their #peace work and their refusal to take #arms and perform #military service.

This year we want to highlight and denounce how countries like #Singapore, the Republic of #Korea, #Eritrea and #Tajikistan continues to prosecute and imprison conscientious objectors.

Find a list of #prisoners for peace here, download the list here or below.

As we get closer to this day, what can you do?
We have been told repeatedly by people who have been sent messages of solidarity while in #prison, either via #letters or solidarity actions, that the moral support of like-minded people has been invaluable. Your solidarity is crucial to remind the #imprisoned refusers and peace activists that they are not alone and that we are aware of the significance of their #resistance. On this day,

  • Join many others from across the world and write to those imprisoned for their peace work and conscientious objection.
  • Encourage your friends, peace group, student, faith or community group to organise a card-writing session (online, or if the Covid-19 regulations allow, physical).
  • Help us spread the word on social media. Use the hashtag #PfPday21 and post your messages of solidarity with prisoners for peace on social media, and invite others to write to those in #jail.

If you have details of other prisoners for peace not yet listed, please write to info@wri-irg.org.

#Iran and #Tajikistan Announce Formation of Joint #Military Committee

source: https://jamestown.org/program/iran-and-tajikistan-announce-formation-of-joint-military-committee/

So while Iran and Tajikistan have motivations to cooperate, these three other countries—Russia, #China and #Turkey—have their own reasons for being concerned about this development. #Russia opposes any outside involvement in the former Soviet space, especially in the security area. And while it may welcome Iran’s countering Turkish #influence in Central #Asia, it is likely to be concerned that Iran’s cooperation with Tajikistan could actually exacerbate pro-Turkic feelings elsewhere. Furthermore, Russia may worry about the way in which Iranian #cooperation with Tajikistan will make it easier for China to promote transportation routes to #Europe that bypass Russia—a perennial fear in #Moscow ...
