— 🇮🇷/🇺🇸 This is related to the prisoner exchange deal that was reached between Iran and the US

In exchange for the unobstructed transfer of $6 billion dollars of frozen Iranian funds held in South Korea, Iran will facilitate the release of five American citizens that are currently detained in Iranian prisons.

The United States will also release five Iranian citizens accused of espionage, who are currently under federal arrest.

— 🇮🇷/🇺🇸 Iran - US prisoner deal details:

• $6 billion dollars worth of frozen Iranian funds in South Korea will be transfered to Iran through Qatar

• The United States guarantees the unobstructed transfer of the money by issuing a sanctions waiver for all international banks

• Iran will release five American prisoners held in Iranian prisons for political crimes (i.e. espionage)

• The United States will release five Iranian citizens held in US jails over espionage charges

• Iran agrees to temporarily decrease the production and stockpiles of uranium enriched above 60%

@Middle_East_Spectator

— The deal was announced a few weeks ago, but the details are only confirmed today

Until now, nobody knew the US was also going to release Iranian prisoners, and the waiver was announced today also.

— Yes, today is the anniversary of 9/11

But do you know what else it is?

The birthday of the lion of Damascus, Bashar al-Assad.

Throw some love in the chat!

— 🇪🇬 BREAKING: Egypt has banned the Niqab, an Islamic face covering worn by some Muslim women, in all public schools

@Middle_East_Spectator

— Egypt claims that it banned the Niqab for security reasons, to be able to see who enters the school

However, this line of reasoning makes no sense. For the amount of students who even wear the Niqab (which is very little), they could simple have a female worker check the identity of the student.

— 🇮🇷/🇮🇶 BREAKING: A constant flow of Iranian military equipment to the border with Iraqi Kurdistan, as ultimatum set to expire

In the video above, we see trucks, towed artillery, MLRS, IFVs, and main battle tanks being sent to Iran's North Western border.

Iran's ultimatum to Kurdish terrorist groups expires in six days, on Tuesday the 19th of September.

— 🇮🇷/🇮🇶 JUST IN: Additional movements of troops heading to Iraqi Kurdistan

@Middle_East_Spectator

— Reports of Iranian equipment headed towards the Azerbaijan border are FALSE.

Currently, any footage of military equipment or troop convoys is related to Iraqi Kurdistan.

It is a cancerous tumor & illegitimate terrorist regime led by war criminals and occupiers.

Palestine will be free.

— 🇮🇷/🇮🇶 JUST IN: General Jamshidian of the IRGC Ground Forces made statements near the border with Iraqi Kurdistan

He states that all the forces of the IRGC are ready to give their lives to protect the borders of the Islamic Republic of Iran, and that the Armed Forces are doing their work.

Behind the general, we see a substantial concentration of military vehicles and troops moving through the streets of Iranian border cities.

@Middle_East_Spectator

— 🇮🇷 In the video above, we can see a squad of Iranian paramilitary volunteers belonging to the Basij

They are wearing balaclavas, have the proper camouflage, and one of them is holding what seems to be an SVD (Dragunov) sniper rifle. This is very similar to the type of Basij squads we saw fighting in Syria.

If a ground invasion were to really happen, the majority of actual urban fighting would most likely be done by Basijis (paramilitary volunteers).
