#Erdogan promises that #Turkey will also establish "security zones" against terrorism east of the #Euphrates River in #Syria. In other words, he promises an offensive against the US-backed #YPG militia in Tell #Abyad. It is remarkable that he is making the speech in the #USA. pic.twitter.com/q8Q7UYECmP

I think erdogan is waiting until February when the S-400 is delivered then he will attack both manbij and tal abyad at the same time and threaten american aircraft with S-400 if they intervene.

Report: Pentagon official: Washington will send sophisticated missile systems to Israel within a week. This comes amid reports of Russia already supplying #Syria with the components of their sophisticated S-300.

Not sure what else we could send them, we've practically armed them with every fucking thing we have.

Well, assuming they mean an analogue to Russias S300, their "Iron Dome" system doesn't appear to be able to stop very much, and the US-supplied Patriots didn't shoot down a single Iraqi Scud, despite claims to the contrary at the time.

Perhaps it'll come down to Russia having to launch a Kalibr cruise missile strike on their airfields. Or perhaps even a hypersonic missile or two? I'm sure Israel would have no defence against those.

Hell, I never thought I'd see the day when Russia and Israel would be facing each other down.

I gather Israel is holding an emergency cabinet meeting later today.

Exactly, that's why I was asking yesterday how quick can S-300 pack up and move location. If you overwhelm it with swarms of rockets it can't bring all of them down.

In a statement after a meeting of Britain, China, France, Germany, Russia and Iran, the group said they were determined to develop payment mechanisms to continue trade with Iran despite skepticism by many diplomats that this will be possible.

"Mindful of the urgency and the need for tangible results, the participants welcomed practical proposals to maintain and develop payment channels notably the initiative to establish a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) to facilitate payments related to Iran's exports, including oil," the group said in a joint statement issued after the statement.

Several European diplomats said the SPV idea was to create a barter system, similar to one used by the Soviet Union during the Cold War, to exchange Iranian oil for European goods without money changing hands.

The idea is to circumvent U.S. sanctions due to be restored in November under which Washington can cut off from the U.S. financial system any bank that facilitates an oil transaction with Iran.

Speaking to reporters after the meeting, European Union foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini said the decision to set up such a vehicle had already been taken and that technical experts would meet again to flesh out the details.

"In practical terms this will mean that EU member states will set up a legal entity to facilitate legitimate financial transactions with Iran and this will allow European companies to continue to trade with Iran in accordance with European Union law and could be open to other partners in the world," she said.

Many diplomats and analysts, however, are skeptical such a vehicle could ultimately thwart U.S. sanctions given that the United States could amend its sanctions laws to prohibit such barter transactions.

"The key is to keep all possibilities open so that we can signal to the Iranians that the door isn't closing," said a senior French diplomat.
The European Union, has so far failed to devise a workable legal framework to shield its companies from U.S. sanctions that go into effect in November and that, among other things, seek to choke off Iran's oil sales, diplomats said.

Highlighting how difficult it will be for the Europeans to come up with concrete solutions, French state-owned bank Bpifrance on Monday abandoned a plan to set up a financial mechanism to aid French firms trading with Iran.

The crux of the 2015 nuclear deal, negotiated over almost two years by the administration of former U.S. President Barack Obama, was that Iran would restrain its nuclear program in return for the relaxation of sanctions that had crippled its economy.

Trump considered it flawed because it did not include curbs on Iran's ballistic missiles program or its support for proxies in Syria, Yemen, Lebanon and Iraq.

The impending return of U.S. sanctions has contributed to a slide in Iran's currency. The rial has lost about two-thirds of its value this year, hitting a record low against the U.S. dollar this month.
