The U.S. has delegated its undercover Daesh agents that it had previously rescued from Syria’s Deir Ez-zor to protect Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) terrorists, as it assigned them new tasks; a group of “terrorists” which had received special training was sent to the PKK-occupied Syrian province of Hasakah and another was transferred to the western Kirkuk city of Havice in Iraq.
The U.S. has previously sent helicopters to evacuate its agents from Deir Ez-zor, and another group was summoned from Raqqa by buses.
The mission of the group assigned by the U.S. to Syria’s northeastern province of Hasakah has for the most part become clear. By transferring these Daesh agents to the south of the Mosul- Tal Afar- Sinjar axis, the Pentagon seeks to avoid any “trouble” in establishing control over the Raqqa- Mosul axis by using them as pretext to once again team up with PKK/PYD terrorists to intervene in these regions.
These groups have two missions to accomplish on behalf of the U.S.: the first is to create a barrier against the Iranian-backed Hashd al-Shaabi militias, of which the U.S. is trying to thwart their advance west and south of Tal Afar. The second assigned mission is to prevent any possible Turkish military intervention in Sinjar by complicating any plan for launching an operation there.
Turkey reserves the right to prevent turning Sinjar into a “second Qandil” in Iraq and to protect its Turkmen brethren in Tal Afar.
In order to prevent the Turkish Armed Forces (TAF) launching a possible operation against PKK terrorists in Sinjar, the U.S. will again embed Daesh in the area using them as a pretext to interfere in northern Iraq, much in the same way it had done in Syria’s Manbij, when it claimed it had teamed up with PKK terrorists to “counter the threat of Daesh in the area,” which will be used as a shield for the PKK.
The U.S.’s undercover Daesh agents will be mobilized in the region in order to ensure the success of the U.S.-PKK alliance in the area as it set out to secure the Mosul-Raqqa axis, which will help the U.S. establish a terror corridor that stretches from northern Iraq all the way to Syria’s Afrin in the west.
The PKK is listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the European Union and the United States. They been conducting armed violence in the southeastern part of Turkey since 1984. More than 40,000 people, mostly civilians, have been killed in the three-decade long conflict.
As it seizes control over the Raqqa- Mosul axis, security experts point out that the U.S.’s final goal should be seen through the lens of seeking dominance over the ancient Mesopotamia.
They also note that Pentagon’s new Daesh assignments came directly after the Ankara- Tehran rapprochement to counter the threat of the PKK.
Experts have not ruled out the U.S. establishment of bases in Sinjar and its southern regions, similar to the ones it set up on the border with Turkey in northern Syria under the pretext of Daesh.
