🇺🇸❌🏴❗️ — United States President Trump announces the killing of the leader of ISIS in Iraq, Abdullah Makina Musleh Al-Rifai (Abu Khadija), by the US-led Coalition with help from Iraqi authorities via Truth Social

🇺🇸🌏❌🏴 — United States Central Command confirms that it conducted targeted strikes against the convoy of Islamic State terrorists, killing its Iraqi Emir & 2nd in Command

🌏📝 In Statement, the US Military has said:

CENTCOM Forces Kill ISIS Chief of Global Operations Who Also Served as ISIS #2

On March 13, U.S. Central Command forces, in cooperation with Iraqi Intelligence and Security Forces, conducted a precision airstrike in Al Anbar Province, Iraq, that killed the Global ISIS #2 leader, Chief of Global Operations and the Delegated Committee Emir – Abdallah Makki Muslih al-Rifai, alias “Abu Khadijah”, and one other ISIS operative.

As the Emir of ISIS’ most senior decision-making body, Abu Khadijah maintained responsibility for operations, logistics, and planning conducted by ISIS globally, and directs a significant portion of finance for the group’s global organization.

After the strike, CENTCOM and Iraqi forces moved to the strike site and found both dead ISIS terrorists. Both terrorists were wearing unexploded “suicide vests” and had multiple weapons. CENTCOM and Iraqi forces were able to identify Abu Khadijah through a DNA match from DNA collected on a previous raid where Abu Khadijah narrowly escaped.

“Abu Khadijah was one of the most important ISIS members in the entire global ISIS organization. We will continue to kill terrorists and dismantle their organizations that threaten our homeland and U.S., allied and partner personnel in the region and beyond,” said Gen. Michael Erik Kurilla, commander, U.S. Central Command.

🌐🇷🇺 NATO Secretary General Rutte told Bloomberg:

"Post-war, it’d be reasonable to gradually rebuild ties with Russia, but we’re not there yet. We must keep pressuring them to take talks seriously. Ukraine’s entry into NATO is no longer being considered."

When asked, "Is Trump really taking Ukraine’s NATO membership off the negotiating table?"

Rutte replied, "Yes."

🇺🇸💣🙏🇵🇱 — 📰 ZeroHedge | President Duda Urges Trump To Place Nuclear Weapons In Poland | March 13, 2025:

"Thursday saw more nuclear escalation nuttiness coming from heads of NATO states. This time it is NATO 'eastern flank' member Poland calling for more nuclear deterrence with an eye on Russia.

Poland’s President Andrzej Duda has again called on the United States to deploy nuclear weapons to his country, following on the heels of French President Emmanuel Macron last week saying he's ready to extend France's nuclear umbrella over all of Europe.

Duda's fresh request of Washington came in an interview with the Financial Times, and some key lines were in the following:

Andrzej Duda said it was "obvious" that President Donald Trump could redeploy US nuclear warheads stored in western Europe or the US to Poland, a proposal the Polish president said he recently discussed with Keith Kellogg, US special envoy for Ukraine.

"The borders of Nato moved east in 1999, so 26 years later there should also be a shift of the Nato infrastructure east. For me this is obvious," Duda said in an interview with the Financial Times. "I think it’s not only that the time has come, but that it would be safer if those weapons were already here."

🇬🇧👃🇺🇦🪨 — 🇬🇧 Declassified UK | Britain Wants Ukraine's Minerals Too | It’s not just Trump. The UK views critical minerals as a government priority and wants to open up Ukraine’s vast resources to British corporations | March 11, 2025:

"When UK officials signed a 100 year partnership with Ukraine in mid-January, they claimed to be Ukraine’s “preferred partner” in developing the country’s “critical minerals strategy”.

Yet within a month, Donald Trump had presented a proposal to Ukraine’s President Volodymr Zelensky to access the country’s vast mineral resources as “compensation” for US support to Ukraine in the war against Russia.

Whitehall was none too pleased about Washington muscling in. 

When foreign secretary David Lammy met Zelensky in Kyiv last month he reportedly raised the issue of minerals, “a sign that Starmer’s government is still keen to get access to Ukraine’s riches”, the iPaper reported. 

Lammy earlier said, in a speech last year: “Look around the world. Countries are scrambling to secure critical minerals, just as great powers once raced to control oil”.

The UK foreign secretary was correct, but Britain itself is one of those powers, and Ukraine is one of the major countries UK officials – as well as the Trump administration – have their eyes on.

It’s no surprise why. Ukraine has around 20,000 mineral deposits covering 116 types of minerals such as beryllium, manganese, gallium, uranium, zirconium, rare earth metals, and nickel.

The country, whose economy has been devastated by Russia’s brutal war, also possesses one of the world’s largest reserves of graphite, the largest titanium reserves in Europe, and a third of the continent’s lithium deposits.

These resources are key for industries such as military production, high tech, aerospace, and green energy."
