CONFIRMED: Chemical Weapons Assessment Contradicting Official Syria Narrative Is Authentic

"The Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) has begun responding to queries by the press about a leaked document which contradicts official OPCW findings on an alleged chemical weapons attack last year in Douma, Syria. The prepared statement they’ve been using in response to these queries confirms the authenticity of the document."

China Restarts Purchases of Iranian Oil, Bucking Trump’s Sanctions
https://www.bourseandbazaar.com/articles/2019/5/17/china-restarts-purchases-of-iranian-oil-bucking-trumps-sanctions



the Chinese oil tanker PACIFIC BRAVO began traveling eastward, having loaded approximately 2 million barrels of Iranian oil from the Soroosh and Kharg terminals in the Persian Gulf over the past few days, and is currently reporting its destination as Indonesia, but the tanker was recently acquired by Bank of Kunlun, a financial institution that is owned by the Chinese state oil company CNPC. TankerTrackers.com believes China is the ultimate destination for the oil on board.

PACIFIC BRAVO is the first major tanker to load Iranian crude after the Trump administration revoked waivers permitting the purchases by eight of Iran’s oil customers.

With the #B_Team doing one thing & @realDonaldTrump saying another thing, it is apparently the U.S. that "doesn’t know what to think”.
We in Iran have actually known what to think for millennia—and about the U.S., since 1953.
At this point, that is certainly "a good thing!"

Syria’s Idlib causes a headache for Turkey. Turkey wants to transform Idlib into a safe haven for rebel militias, but Ankara will have a hard time persuading Russia, Syria and the intern'l community to accept such a transformation. Only US is sympathetic.  https://t.co/zJmRwDvYfX

I quite doubt there is some way how to donate to Damascus/Syrian govt. Maybe through Russia. Or Armenia as they are invovled in humanitarian aid to Syria. I can try to contact Tamonten, maybe he can find something reliable if you're interested.

Imho, Syria still has strong partners and, for example, current fuel crisis can't be solved with any kind of donations as it is entirely caused by the US regime. If you are interested in spending a few bucks in help in the region then I advice to do it in Yemen. It's almost forgotten, but probalby most brutal world currently raging not only in the ME but in the whole world I guess. MONA Reelief is reliable aid agency. I follow Fatik, founder of organization, on Twitter for quite long time. He annualy shares photos from distribution of food and other needful things on his account. Personally I donate time by to his agancy. Actually it is the only one agency working in the country.

What happened about an hour ago was nothing major so I’ll keep it short

Regarding the #Syria/n coast, it was a drone attack from Idlib, so it’s not related.

Regarding the south and #Damascus
At first 3 illuminating targets flying hight and slow were detected over #AlQunytira

And every AA gun in the province began trying to bring them down with no success

2 headed to south of #Damascus
& one to south east of the city
the 3 were downed by AA missiles

Turns out the 3 targets were reconnaissance balloons launched by Israel
They learned from Gaza

I didn't see him for a long time. I have his email tho'. He's registered here as well but I guess he never came back. After all he works on numerous projects of his own.
