One by one, ISIS leaders are being killed as decisive ground operations across Syria are being conducted under the aerial protection of Russian and Syrian military jets, especially in the aftermath of the Russian passenger plane crash.
The Syrian government troops are being complemented by Syrian and Iraqi volunteer fighters alike. Iranian planes are said to be helping out with the transport of these Iraqi volunteers into Syria.
This willingness to help Syria by its Middle Eastern neighbors through the Russian led coalition is what frustrates the war chickenhawks in Washington especially John McCain who can’t fight his own war, much less fly his own plane.
Another scenario that will seal the fate of the warmongers in the Middle East is the scheduled peace talks between Assad and legitimate opposition groups to be held in Moscow in a few days.
Previously, a number of Al Qaeda leaders were among those were killed immediately in aftermath of Russian plane crash.

Thu Nov 05, 2015 3:42
TEHRAN (FNA)- Syrian warplanes launched several airstrikes on terrorists’ positions in the Northern Province of Aleppo on Thursday.
The Syrian air raids destroyed terrorists’ positions in Rasem al-Abed, Kwairis Gharbi and to the East of the Thermal Station in the Eastern countryside of Aleppo, a military source said.
There were no more details immediately available.
On Wednesday, the Syrian army regained full control of a strategic area, East of Khanasser road, in Aleppo countryside as the army continues to expand its control over Ithriya-Khanasser road and its surrounding regions.
According to the Arabic-language al-Mayadeen television, the Syrian army troops retook Tal Maragha area in the Southern countryside of Aleppo after heavy clashes with the Takfiri militants.

A picture posted on the Instagram account of the Iranian group Holy Defense shows an Iraqi soldier standing in front of an Iranian C-130 Hercules military transport aircraft supposedly in Syria.
“This is probably the first picture of an Iranian Hercules made in Syria and the first documented evidence of the Iranian Air Force being in Syria. Flights have been made from Mehrabad International Airport in Tehran and the city of Tabriz [in the northwest of Iran] since the beginning of the Syrian conflict,” a source from Holy Defense told Sputnik.
Iranian planes also bring drones that are used for reconnaissance flights above ISIL military bases, the source told Sputnik.
Comments underneath the picture reveal that some of the Iraqi fighters came to Syria after the beginning of Russian anti-ISIL airstrikes in Syria.
Apart from Iraqi volunteer fighters, the Iranian planes brought with them arms and military equipment, Holy Defense said.

‘80% of Anbar liberated from Daesh’
Quoting military officials, Iraq’s Arabic news channel al-Sumaria said on Wednesday that the Iraqi forces gained control of several areas in the western and northern parts of the volatile province.
Brigadier General Yahya Rasoul, a senior Iraqi military official, confirmed that army units and volunteer forces liberated 80 percent of Anbar, adding that central parts of provincial capital Ramadi has been fully liberated from Daesh’s grip.
“Iraqi forces are advancing in Anbar province after they managed to seize full control over central Ramadi,” said Rasoul, adding, “The Iraqi army and popular forces are also retaking full control over the northern and southern parts of the Ramadi city.”
The military has launched clean-up operations to flush out militants across the volatile province, the senior Iraqi army official said.
This comes as army forces made their way into Ramadi from several directions on Sunday
Iraqi military officials also said army troops and volunteer forces had managed to enter the city from the north and hoist the national flag over the al-Jarayeshi Bridge, cutting a major supply route used by Daesh Takfiris.
Dozens of Daesh terrorists have reportedly been killed during the ongoing mop-up operations across the region.
Ground troops were supported by Iraqi warplanes that targeted Daesh positions and cleared the path for the soldiers to move on, according to reports.
Iraq’s Defense Ministry has vowed that the large-scale counter-terror offensive will continue until the city is fully cleared of Daesh militants.
Pro-government forces have already managed to push back Daesh from some key cities and towns, including Tikrit, which was completely purged of militants in late March.
The allied forces are planning to retake Anbar before they start their long-anticipated drive toward Mosul, Iraq’s second largest city, which itself fell into the hands of Daesh last year.
Gruesome violence has plagued the northern and western parts of Iraq ever since Daesh launched its offensive in Iraq and took control of portions of the country in June 2014.

We could only wish that the neutralization of the ISIS leadership will not stop with the Arabs only.
Any updates on arresting the criminals and restoring the Republic?
In my view China along with Iran can deliver essentially a knockout punch to the Western financial system. The Yuan deval in August was a warning. They need to deval much further since China’s economy is imploding along with global trade. The deval acts as a “reverse QE” and it also incinerates global USD carry trades (which are in effect net short positions on USD). China can send USD even higher and pour more fuel on the $5T in derivatives tied to crude by taking more steps with the deval. They have been trying to massage and manage this to minimize capital flight (which isn’t really working).
Iran can dump as much as 1M barrels/day onto the crude market. If this were to happen along with further yuan devals by PBOC the USD (which in my view has broken out of its bullish triangle/wedge consolidation pattern) would rocket higher towards 120ish eventually thus imploding crude prices and all of the debt and derivatives tied to crude.
The Banksters are all hands on deck trying to keep crude inflated here.
What are the “good guys” waiting for? These criminals will never surrender they need to be eviscerated.
This is the best job being done since ISIS came out!
Looks like all good news for a change. Lets hope Putin and his allied can maintain the successes and bring this to a close in spite of the US.
