Iranian Foreign Ministry’s spokesman Abbas Mousavi denounced the deal between an American company and the Kurdish Syrian Democratic Forces militia group as “illegal” and a violation of Syrian sovereignty. “The signing of an oil deal between the United States and a group of Syrian Kurds runs counter […]
Joe Biden is not the same man he was when he became Obama’s vice president over ten years ago. It’s obvious to everyone. All you have to do is listen to him speak for a few minutes.
