Ermmm I think the #US just conducted a retaliation strike on the #Iraq/#Syria border. Evolving situation.
2 American’s and 1 British soldier killed in the earlier attack
I#Iran #USA
ran’s foreign minister has said the strikes have concluded and characterised them as self-defence within the boundaries of international law – not the first shots in a war.
Trump, in his first comments after the strikes, also sought to play them down.

1) The real identity of ISIS's new leader remains a mystery, and while there are contenders, I haven't seen many pay attention to one specific person, Abu Suleiman al-Nasser (Nu'man Mansour Salman Al-Zaidi), head of ISIS military council, former ISI "minister of war."
2) Also known as Al-Nasser l-Deen Allah Suleiman, he is one of the cofounder of modern day #ISIS, having replaced former "minister of war" Abu Hamza Al-Muhajir (Abu Ayyub Al-Misri), who was killed in 2010 alongside former leader Abu Omar Al-Baghdadi.
3) Just like the new leader, not much is known about Al-Nasser. He served a sentence in Bucca Prison, and operated heavily in #Anbar Province — the place the new leader is believed by some to be from.

Make no mistake - the #ISIS problem is a long, long way from going away, in both #Syria & #Iraq.
Raids, ambushes, assassinations, IEDs, kidnappings, extortion/intimidation etc. It’s all continuing, while everyone proclaims “victory” and the fight [near] “over."

#ISIS is back to bombings, assassinations, kidnappings across #Diyala, #Kirkuk & Salah ad Din - in scenes eerily reminiscent of 2011-2014.
This has been building for weeks, but thanks @LizSly for bringing more attention - the fight is **far** from over.

#Iraq: Unofficial election results show big loss for SOL of former PM Maliki. Also lost big time is al-Hikma of S. Ammar al-Hakim. Sadr Movement’s alliance strategy succeeded in adding more gains to those guaranteed by traditional loyalty. (1)
PM Abadi is a close winner, thanks to incumbency factor, use of gov. resources, & alliance wiyh big fish. But still, nowhere near how Maliki performed with same advantages in 2014. PM Abadi will need to make very painful compromises to secure 2nd term. (2)
The Fath (PMFs) coalition performed as expected. Popularity acquired by fighting against ISIS paid off very handsomely. Along with the Sadr Movement, they will have a special seat at the negotiation table. (3)
We started a new year (I hope the last) of the Syrian civil war. But 2017 has been the most important year & the result of inflection point of the war in 2016 with many political & military developments : (1)
The first military operation of #SAA was Wadi Bara (23/12/2016 - 29/1/2017) which finished with the evacuation of rebels from Wadi Barada & the North montainous area in the border with Lebanon. At the same time other forces advanced in E.Ghouta reaching some parts of Hazrama (2) 
#SDF started the second phase of #WrathOfEuphrates operation on December securing the West flank of #Raqqa plains (3)
