Kurk Murzban, Khataiy

Khataiyi political tensions have been shifting the Khataiyi Muslim Brotherhood has fractured between supporters of Khairallah and a growing trend of opposition, many other opposition groups have begun forming as well many linked to the Syrian government, Iran, Turkey and other regional states at odds with the Khataiyi government. A rival government was established in the northwestern city of Kurk Murzban last year by former Khataiyi general Waseem from his host country of Algeria where he has been exiled, he has recently been courting opposition figures in the Muslim Brotherhood, most notabely being the Fadl family which holds an influential postion in the party and has accused President Khairallah of purging the family and ordering the assassination of the family's patriarch, due to him being a potential rival in the country.

There was little conflict with the rival government holding control of portions of western Khataiy in the south and north, most notabely in the cities of Kurk Murzban and Suwayda which has a large Shiite population and has been occupied by Khataiyi Hezbollah and has been placed under seige by the government, with the navy closing blockading the area around it and the army preventing traffic from entering or leaving the city and surrounding areas. Some aid was recieved by Iran and Syria however since the Syrian government lost control of the border to Khataiyi backed rebels, the little aid recieved is now gone.

Kurk Murzban however was not beseiged and mutual checkpoints existed on the roads to and from, after an understanding was mediated by the Russian and Turkish governments, as well as the World Assembly.

Growing political tensions and regional events have been pushing the rival leadership in Kurk Murzban to declare a full seperation from Khataiy. The self-proclaimed Khataiyi national congress met 2 weeks ago for a referendum to end its claims to being a rival to the Khairallah regime to being a seperate entity all together. The event created intense controversy in the country, with the Khataiyi army closing checkpoints into Kurk Murzban and the navy deploying ships near the coast, air force helicopters also flew above Kurk Murbzan for days.

The National Congress has announced its dissolution, as has the Khataiyi National Government. In its place the Republic of Western Khataiy has been declared along with the Republican Congress of West Khataiy. Elections have also been announced for a new President with the current candidates being General Waseem who is a self-declared indepdendent and has a Nationalist and Pragmatic political platform some have described him as a Populist.

Abdullah Jawaf who has established the National Equality Movement a Democratic Islamic Party that has denounced sectarianism and calls for Shia and Sunni unity, Jawaf has been at odds with the Khataiyi government for making comments precieved as Pro-Iran, he has also praised Turkish President Erdogan, he has also called for the normalization of relations between Saudi Arabia and Iran, as well as the Khataiyi government, he was a former member of the Muslim Brotherhood until 2016, and was imprisoned in mid-2017 later released in January of 2018, Jawaf has also called upon the Syrian rebels, Hezbollah and the Syrian government to join forces to fight the PKK and ISIS, and for the Islamic world to join forces against Israel, Jawaf claims to support equal rights for men and women, he has been labeled as a reformist and a moderate by many.

The next candidate is Abbas Nouri who has headed a left-wing socialist party called Hizb al-Fajr (Dawn Party), Abbas is 58 years old, he was a construction engineer for 30 years and a member of Khataiy's Baath Party however his leftist views and support for Bashar al-Assad caused him to be expelled from the party and he was later imprisoned as well but was able to flee to Syria, he lived under Syrian government protection since 2013 and spent time in Rojava held areas as well before returning to Khataiy in 2018 in support of General Waseem.

The final candidate is Ayatollah Haidar Rasheedi the recently selected General Secretary of Khataiyi Hezbollah, he had lived in Iran for many years and later moved to Iraq after the fall of Saddam Hussein to live in the Shiite holy city of Najaf with other Shiite theologians including the leadership of Iraqi Hezbollah, upon the start of the Syrian civil war he called upon Khataiyi Shias to launch a revolution Khataiyi support for the Syrian rebels, he has also praised Hezbollah's activites in Syria and has helped recruit Iraqi militiamen to join the Popular Mobilization Forces and was considered an important figure in PMF, he survived multiple assassination attempts by ISIS, Khataiyi intelligence, supporters of Muqtada al-Sadr, and the Iraqi Baath loyalists, and is currently based in Qom announcing his candidacy in exile, saying if he wins he will return to Khataiy after exile for over 35 years, he was recently selected as Hezbollah's leader in Khataiy months ago. The Khataiyi government has warned if he returns to Kurk Murzban or Suwayda military action would be taken to arrest or kill him.

Khataiyi Foreign Minister Uthman al-Ghamadi

In response to the decleration of succession Khataiy's foreign minister has made a speech addressing the international community regarding "West Khataiy",

"This is an illegal and illegitmate decleration, it holds no legality or validation whatsoever. We call upon the parties in the occupied territories to respect the agreement we have in Elista. We will not allow a Sykes-Picot partion of our country to occur, this clearly serves the interests of the Iranian imperialists and Zionists. We also warn the Iranian Safavids of sending the terrorist Haidar Rashid to our country, he is a wanted criminal and terrorists, he is not a citizen of our country he has lost that privlage, he is nothing more than a criminal, a thug and a terrorist and if he is sent here he will be treated as such with the mandatory penalty of death when he is captured and convicted by our secuirty forces.

We ask the international community to not give these fools the attention or legitmacy they want, as there is no basis to support their claims, Kurk Murzban and Suwayda are Khataiyi lands and will remain as such. Our military is prepared for any confrontation that may occur with terrorist organizations or criminal gangs linked to this so-called 'West Khataiy'."

Suwayda, Khataiy

Khataiyi Hezbollah spokesman Abdul Hussein Ridha Alawi

---

With the announcement of West Khataiy in Suwayda and Kurk Murzban, and the announcement of elections in the new "country" the controversial descision to run as its President by Ayatollah Rashid has caused Hezbollah in Khataiy to announce their intentions internationally and apeal to the world, Hezbollah's spokesman Abdul Hussein Alawi gave an interview to Turkish journalists with the video being broadcast by multiple stations including Al-Jazeera, Iranian media, Hezbollah's al-Manar, the Syrian SANA station, and many more.

"Yes I can confirm Ayatollah Rashid is running for President of West Khataiy." He started out saying to his interviewer who asked a follow up question, "Why is West Khataiy declaring independence, why not keep the current state with Khairallah?" Alawi replied, "The state of things was unbearable, here in Suwayda we have difficulty with rations, food is scarce, we have to take water from the ocean or rivers and it is very difficult to purify it, we are running out of fuel we only have a supply left for a few months, I'm not sure how we will survive winter, last winter was very difficult a lot of good people died. Medical aid is another issue the regime refuses entry or exit, and its because we are Shias, we are opposition, we condemn the terrorism and criminality of Khariallah. We had no choice but to become a new country, hopefully then we can get some aid and allow us to go our seperate ways from Khairallah, much like a divorce in a bad marriage."

The Turkish journalist then asked, "Ghamadi has threatened war if Ayatollah Rashid enters Khataiy, are you prepared for this? The government also asks you uphold the agreement made in Elista last year. Do you think Khairallah will invade west Khataiy?"

Alawi replied, "Ghamadi says a lot of things, he can yell Safavid this and Safavid that all day long and make threats but he knows we are ready for a bitter battle, Khairallah as well he knows he can call us Safavid agents all day but he is very well aware of our capabilities there is a reason he was forced to go to Elista."

The journalist asked a follow up question, "Do you wish to overthrow Khairallah?" Alawi answered, "We had this goal at one point, but it is no longer something we seek this is why we have declared our seperation from the country. If Khairallah resigns or if a revolution occurs where our rights are restored and justice is restored then we would very likely consider rejoining the homeland."

The interview was nearing its end, "What is your view on the Khataiyi Resistance, and how would you deal with an American invasion or aggression?" Alawi answered, "They are a good movement, and we support their unity efforts and I encourage them to continue their good work, as for a possible invasion of our country, be it from the Americans or anyond else we would resist, and defend our country from foreign occupation."

The interviewer ended it with, "Thank you so much for your time." Alawi replied, "It was my pleasure."

Khataiyi soldiers surveying the disputed regions

The hightened tensions have prompted the Khataiyi militaty to display its strength by deploying hundreds of soldiers to the regions around Kurk Murzban and Suwayda, several loyalist militia formations from the National Guard have also arrived including the Khataiyi Border Guardians, the Tribal Forces and other formations including ones led by individuals associated with the governmet. Several artillery pecies and MLRS were brought along as well to shell Kurk Murzban and Suwayda. Government forces in Suwayda began to do patrols behind enemy lines created by the Elista agreement stretching 4 km into enemy territory in counter-terrorism operations against Hezbollah.

The Defense Ministry announced the begining of a military operation codenamed "Sword of Justice" at 10:00 local time, the defense minister announced it during a televised speech from the Revolutionary Command Council building in downtown Antakya after a breif meeting with President Khairallah and the interior minister,

"All praise is due to Allah whom bestows victory to the righteous, we are begining a major security operation, it is official that we have begun Operation Sword of Justice to end Iran's imperialist clench on Suwayda, the liberation campaign is aimed to liberate occupied villages around Suwayda from terrorist and imperialist occupation. President Khairallah has ordered no mercy to be shown to terrorist forces, and he said no prisoners, and we will uphold this order God willing. We are working with all national forces to liberate our homeland from the police, to our blessed armed forces to the ministires of our honorable government. We also have our Syrian friends who are fighting a blessed revolution in their country supporting our efforts in the liberated regions of Free Latakia they have given us intelligence and are sharing their experience with Iran's devil proxies, this will be a swift and quick movement. The terrorists have violated the Elista agreement and we are excersicing our right to uphold it."

Khataiyi military convoy

---

As convoys of military technicals and pickups carrying men to the frontlines stretched down the highway in the rural countryside state media and other journalists from other countries began filming the large convoy of trucks, soldiers in the area filmed the convoy pass on the road and took selfies for social media as trucks passed by they would honk their horns, other trucks had police lights and sirens, in the hull men were crowded together makinh Victory signs with their hands or putting up their right index finger in the air, they would yell at the cameras "Allahu Akbar!", "Khataiy Baqiya!" (Khataiy is remaining), others would chant "Allah, Khataiy, Omar ou Bas!" (God, Khataiy, Omar [Khairallah] is all we want).

Nationalist music and Islamic nasheeds could be heard being played loudly from the stereos of the cars and trucks, one soldier who was watching the vehciles was approached by journalist, he wore a mutli-cam uniform and a backwards field cap, he had a tan chest rig and had an AKM rifle slinged on his shoulder, "We are the soldiers of Khataiy, we are the Free men of the country, we are its Fedayeen and martyrdom seekers [Istshihadieen], we are Mujahideen fighting a holy war against the Party of Satan and Iranian Zoroastrian Magians. They thought they could get away with murdering Saddam in Iraq and colonizing Syria, but we swear before Allah they will not replace us here in Khataiy, this is our homeland, this is a Sunni Arab country with a Proud Sunni Arab president we will never be Shia Persians, God willing we will go to Syria and Iraq soon, I couldn't sit at home knowing our country is being targeted by the Masonic world order and their favorite prostitute the Iranians." He grabbed his gun and said, "You see this! You see this oh Khamanei, oh Bashar, oh Nasrallah, oh Rashid! We are comming for your necks! Allah is the greatest!"

State media showed the convoy traveling as nationalist music played a caption on the screen said "The procession of light". The convoy arrived near a military outpost hours later, busses also arrived unloading soldiers and National Guard militiamen. By 13:00 a breifing was held with objectives being given, and the battle plan being given out. With the plan being to begin with heavy shelling in a strategy reminicent of the German Blitzkrieg or the American Shock and Awe. Afterwards mechanized units would move in taxing men into villages and hamlets to secure them while special forces from the "Commando troops" and "Elite Forces" would cover the flank and take care of the enemies' front in hopes of insuring their withdrawal. Orders were also given to not take any prisoners aside from high ranking individuals everyone else would be executed on sight for violating Khataiyi Terrorism laws which carries a mandatory death sentance, it was also explained that it is legal for government forces to seize property from the terrorists and gangsters as they lost the right to own property in Khataiy, orders were also given to arrest anyone linked to the terrorists including friends and family fot questioning.

Former and current Syrian rebel commanders were also invited by the government to provide advice on insurgent tactics and expose their weak points and insight into Hezbollah and Iranian military doctrine, the rebels came from the battle hardened Ahrar al-Sham, Jaish al-Izza and Sham Legion who had fought Hezbollah militants in Syria with Khataiyi support and usually traveled between Khataiy and Syria, they volunteered their service upon invatation from the defense ministry to provide insight, many had also recieved training by the Khataiyi government and now could provide a review for what worked and what didn't, as this would be one of the biggest military operations in Khataiyi history, though it was something normal for the Syrian rebels.

A review of Bashar al-Assad's tactics were also taken into account seeing the success he enjoyed for a portion of the war against the rebels, giving Khataiyi officers unique insight into the perspective of insurgents and rebels.


By nightfall heavy shelling began with howitzers and MLRS, then around midnight the first mechanized units began transporting regular troops into the hamlets and villages, light gunfire was encountered, followed by the firing of an RPG which damaged the tire of an armored car. It wasn't long before the Commando troops arrived they carried AK74 and AK103 rifles with silencers and were trained in close-quarter combat as well as SWAT tactics they threw a flash grenade before gunning down several fighters allowing the regular soldiers to advance, one Hezbollah was wounded and hadn't died from being shot at he was on the ground holding his bloodied leg as his G3 rifle lay next to him he wore a digital camo uniform similar to Iranian style and had an old M1 helmet and a "Chicom" ammo pouch as the Khataiyi soldiers entered the room of the abandoned house he put his hands up, one soldier yelled at him "Its over you filthy swine!" He was picked up by his hair and thrown on the flour outside, another soldier kicked him in the stomach, and others posed for a picture with their boots standing on his face.

"Please I surrender I will do anything!" He pleaded, another soldier told him "You know the punishment for terrorism. You retarded pig." The prisoner asked "Please let me smoke, before you do it, just one ciggarette." He was slapped for making the request and was thrown on the ground before being shot multiple times by some soldiers, his rifle was collected and the abandoned house was searched, some soldiers and militiamen took jewlery, and electronics left behind before burning down the house and adjacent farm.

Multiple other assaults such as this continued in various villages and hamlets near the "border" of the self-declared west Khataiy and the rest of the country. Some soldiers wore go pro cameras or carried regular cameras to film the action for propaganda value and soldiers would celebrate their victory on camera one masked soldier yelled after pointing to a mound of dead bodies "This is what we do with the Party of Satan [Hezbollah] in our country, Khamanei you will be here one day too."

By sunrise 4 villages had been captured and 17 farms and hamelets as well. In Suwayda Hezbollah began sending reinforcements and creating a plan to counter-attack communication was ongoing between Iraqi and Iranian advisors connected via internet and satallite Iraqi advisors included Shiite militia commanders while the Iranians were IRGC officers with experiance from Iraq and Syria. Khataiyi Hezbollah had a large aresenal smuggled in from Syria of ATGMs, various fire arms, and area denial equipment like explosives and mines, tunnels had been dug underneath Suwayda in the event of an offensive like this, and the Hezbollah militia had put its commander center in a bunker near its headquarters in the suburbs of the city.

Around 08:00 in the morning Hezbollah began firing Qassam and Fajr style rockets at government forces and hours later several technicals armed with .50 cal machineguns and ZU23s captured from Khataiyi government armories last year were sent to herass Khataiyi soldiers with rapid bursts of fire killing 3 and injuring 7 in the process while the rocket fire killed 7 and injured 13, Khataiyi state media showed their portraits on television and celebrated them as martyrs and their families were awarded $200,000 for being related to martyrs and as usual a ceremony would be held for the martyrs in the capital.

Military launches counter-terrorism operation in Suwayda


Hezbollah terrorist militants in Suwayda

Since seizing control of the souther port city and border region of Suwayda a once popular tourist destination and important town for trade and logistics, militants openly aligned with the Iranian Hezbollah terrorist network have openly declared their occupation of the city after expelling government forces. Recently along with the former general Farid Waseem's militias in Kurk Murzban have jointly declared the establishment of "West Khataiy" claiming they are no longer interested in working with President Omar Khairallah within the guidelines of the 2018 Elista Agreement.

This new so-called 'Nation' occupying Suwayda with terrorist gangs and Kurk Murzban with criminal elements have announced elections for a new President running against the current holder General Waseem, is the wanted terrorist Ayatollah Haidar Rashid. President Khairallah held an emergancy meeting with the Defense and Interior ministries to discuss the threat posed to national secuirty due to the recent developments, earlier this morning Operation Sword of Justice was announce by Defense Minister General Salman Asfar to liberate the Suwayda countryside from terrorist elements.

General Asfar has said regarding the operation this morning in the Revolutionart Command Council building in Antakya,

"All praise is due to Allah whom bestows victory to the righteous, we are begining a major security operation, it is official that we have begun Operation Sword of Justice to end Iran's imperialist clench on Suwayda, the liberation campaign is aimed to liberate occupied villages around Suwayda from terrorist and imperialist occupation. President Khairallah has ordered no mercy to be shown to terrorist forces, and he said no prisoners, and we will uphold this order God willing. We are working with all national forces to liberate our homeland from the police, to our blessed armed forces to the ministires of our honorable government. We also have our Syrian friends who are fighting a blessed revolution in their country supporting our efforts in the liberated regions of Free Latakia they have given us intelligence and are sharing their experience with Iran's devil proxies, this will be a swift and quick movement. The terrorists have violated the Elista agreement and we are excersicing our right to uphold it."

The president along with other government officials have called upon General Waseem and other parties associated with the National Congress and National Republican government to maintain what was agreed upon in Elista until a common ground is found. The Government of Khataiy has claimed this is a direct violation of the Elista agreement which brought peace to the country for many months avoiding a near civil war, however the terrorist presence and recent wave of foreign instigated unrest in parts of the country has caused the agreement to shutter, despite government reforms.

The renewed terrorist threat is a major violation of the Elista agreement, and is a danger to national secuirty, the Khataiyi Army, National Guard, Navy and Air Force have been mobilized in Suwayda to eliminate the terrorists while still upholding the Elista agreement, once this operation is complete sources in the government have said President Khairallah hopes to renew negotiations with all national forces for the unity of Khataiy and its people.

[Bronze Serpent]

War was good for buisness, and that is what made up the PMC known Bronze Serpent. Founded by South Afrikan mercenary Erik Verwoerd the Private Military Company was being paid top money by the U.S. Army's JSOC to support General Waseem's forces in Western Khaitay. Erik Verwoered's activites had come under the attention of numerous military groups and intelligence agencies causing his organization to be labeled as a terrorist organization in many nations. Now the new target was Khaitay,

Algeria


The noise of gun-fire from M4 assault rifles could be heard, Bronze Serpent operators were doing a quick training excercise to prepare for upcoming operations that were to be done in Khaitay. Bronze Serpent was providing much of the security and support for West Khaitay's presidential candidate General Waseem. They were now also being paid by JSOC to lead combat operations to secure the soverignty of West Khaitay. Erik Verwoered had been traveling back in forth between Algeria and the AfrikanerStaat and many of his men were being shipped from Algeria to West Khatait for combat operations. Things were getting juicy and the new state needed hired guns for wetwork and additional support.

A meeting was taking place in Algeria between the Bronze Serpent CEO Erik Verwoered and U.S. Army intelligence. The meeting confirmed one thing, that the new state in West Khaitay would need additional support to assist in counter-insurgency as well as defensive fighting. The two Army intel agents would meet with Erik at an abandoned warehouse in Algiers.

Erik looked at the two man frowning slightly "Well it took you guys long enough, I have already shipped out 14 some contractors. I have about 200 men at port and 14 men on the ground advising the new state's forces."

One of the Intel support agents spoke "We want to use your ships to bring in large stockpiles of weapons for Waseem, if that okay with you."

Erik said "I assume that would be okay, but of course it will cost you."

The other agent said "We are prepared to pay a high price." smiling and bringing out a suitcase filled with diamonds mined from the Congo, blood diamonds. The two Army intel agents would leave via a helicopter provided by Bronze Serpent and would fly to neighboring Bashriyya where Bronze Serpent had a contract with SACTO fighting insurgents.



Port Kurk Murzban
The deal was set and the arms would arrive in a few days, at the Port of Kurk Murzban a flow of weapons was incoming, and Bronze Serpent was at the helm of the arms deals. Weapons ranging from small arms to heavy artillery were arriving at the port to supply Waseem's army and the various anti-Khairallah forces in the area. Evidence of foreign backing would become more and more obvious as pictures and videos would be leaked out

Kurk Murzban, Khataiy

Candidate Abbas Nouri speaking about the recent military escalation

---

The ongoing military operation in Suwadiya and the threat of a possible one in Kurk Murzban was a concern, and an issue being discussed by the politicians of West Khataiy, Nouri Abbas a former Baath Party member and government official has made a speech directly addressing Khairallah and the international community.

"This aggression must be stopped. It is obvious and expected local forces in Suwadiya are defending themselves from Khairallah's unwarrented aggression, the real terrorists are the Zionists and the real Imperialists are the ones who deploy their armies while Palestine is still occupied. Khairallah claims this is a mission to end a 'foreign' occupation, and to defeat terrorism while Daesh and al-Qaeda operate freely in the east and the people of Suwadiya are under siege by Khairallah's men. They are defending themselves and fighting a war of survivial, it was Khairallah who announced this operation not the people of Suwadiya.

I am willing to negotiate terms with Khairallah, I urge an immediate cease-fire between all factions and aid to be allowed to enter Suwadiya. What Khairallah doesn't realize is that Israel is the eternal enemy of the Arab people followed by their patrons, Khairallah has misfocused his anger towards Iran who has been an important partner against the Zionists, I say to Khairallah what he is doing in Suwadiya only benefits the Zionists, his issues with President Bashar al-Assad only benefits the Zionists and his hatred for Iran based on pure Sectarianism yet again only benefit the Zionists.

We must work together to fight our common enemies, I promise Khataiy and the world the armed defense of Suwadiya is not the enemy of Khataiy or Arabs or the religion of Islam, it is the Zionists and the Imperialists, need I remind President Khairallah, it was the Americans who invaded Iraq in 2003, and it is Israel that occupies Palestine. We all praised the Iraqi resistance for fighting the American occupation, as we praise the Palestinian resistance, Khairallah has forgotten this, or perhaps he chooses to ignore history. He looks for enemies rather than friends, but I plead to my former colleague President Omar Khairallah, who imprisoned me for saying what I say now, please act humanily and logically, if you truly care for our country."

Kurk Murzban, Khataiy

Pro-Government insurgents denouncing General Waseem and the separatists

---

The Khataiyi government maintained the Mukhabarat in Kurk Murzban and surrounding areas, recruiting loyalists, spying on the opposition and protecting overall national interests in the occupied areas, at times they would post pro-Khairallah graffiti or spread government propaganda, building an insurgent force was also part of their tasks. A sizeable force had been recruited of ex-soldiers, ex-policemen, their relatives as well as low income individuals who were paid large sums of money to work with the Mukhabarat in establishing a local insurgent force, now was the time to activate and become public, and begin the guerilla campaign to restore government control over Kurk Murzban.

"In the name of Allah the most Gracious the most Merciful, in the name of the Khataiyi Arab people, we are the sons of Kurk Murzban the sons of the Arab nation, we are the Popular Resistance of Khataiy we reject the oppression and corruption of the foreign backed imperialist regime of Waseem the traitor of our country, and the other traitors, terrorists, and gang members who claim to be running for the fake presidency of the occupied western coastal regions. We are loyal to the only true and legitimate President of this country, President Omar Khairallah al-Anazzah, we are fighting a war of upholding national sovereignty, and protecting our country from division by foreign actors and traitorous collaborators. We are soldiers who fight on the side of Allah against the enemies of our people and homeland we will target anyone who has betrayed our nation, works with the forces of injustice and the foreign imperialists. Khataiy will never be a subject of Safavid imperialism or the Masonic plot to ruin our country, death to the traitors and Allah is the greatest!"

Fort Bragg, North Carolina-Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) Headquarters

General Austin Ross was head of the Defense Intelligence Agency under President Jackson, General Ross had expressed his dissatisfaction with Khaitay to the President before. General Ross often refered to the regime in Khaitay as "the Green menace" and Khairallah "a rabid dog" he viewed it as the number one terrorist threat in the region, a rouge nation that had gone completely unaccountable and was a breeding ground for Jihadism. Although it appeared his previous talks in secret with the President had gone well, he was not expecting the President to authorize any direct action against Khaitay. So he was plotting his special attack on Khairallah using one of the most elite military units on the globe.

That unit was part of the Joint Special Operations Command or JSOC and that unit was called FOXHOUND although it was said to be established in 1970. Including among the unit's fame were many great men like survival expert John Benedict Miller, commando Gregory Sears, Major Jeb James a self-described psychic warrior (back when Army intel was experimenting with psychic phenomana and remote viewing in the 80s as part of Project Stargazer), among others.

Offically disbanded in 2005 due to budget cuts, FOXHOUND was making a comeback and was being regrouped back under the command of JSOC, with many of its retired members and veteran agents returning. All of the remaining elite FOXHOUND troops that did not turn on the U.S. Government or at least not completely were called back for one final mission. The man that General Ross was about to recruit as the leader of this operation was none other then Gregory Sears (codenamed Snake) whose plans for retirement had just been interrupted now he was finding himself being called again for one last mission. Snake would be recruited to lead a team of special ops for an assassination mission, a hired hit!

"Sears, I am General Ross. Perhaps you've heard of me?"

Sears replied "Your the head of the Defense Intel Agency, saw you on CSPAN."

"I'm suprised you showed up, Would you like a cigerette?" said Ross

"Cut the small talk General, What is this mission anyway?" Sears said reluctantly grabbing a cigerette and thence smoking it

"You look just like your father." he smiled "Same profession too."

"I'm done being a hired gun for you people." he walked out of the barracks into the rain. Sears was careless almost, he remembered the last words of his former mentor Gregory Sears "time for you to put aside the gun and live". He was not preparing to enter into another battlefield and be used like a pawn in someone's geopolitical game and renter the horrors of war.


Background music
"Wait Sears, we have evidence that John Miller your best friend is rotting in a Khatayi jail for spying."

Sears was shocked "Miller, my friend, my comrade."

"He is in a Khatayi jail, I thought he was out of the service? You bastards called him back too didn't you?"

The General responded "He chose to go, he was contracting for the CIA's Special Activities Division and was acting as a double agent for the DIA, the CIA must have sold him out."

Sears responded "Those bastards."

The General grinned "Now, I got your attention let me explain how we all got to this point. I will summarize the mission and give you a headstart before the other recruits arrive. First let's start with your codename, your codename on this mission will be Snake." Sears gritted his teeth staring at the General saying in a smug fashion "How original General."

The General revealed a map of Khaitay "This is Khaitay, a country that many perceive as a U.S. ally after the terror attacks on the Effiel Tower in France about a month ago the world went into a state of panic. Radical Islamic Terrorism is growing Snake, and America has helped it grow. Our greed for oil and endless proxy battles have radicalized Islamic populations, people that were once relatively peaceful become radicalized angered at what they perceive as an exploitation and take-over of their lands. Combine the ultra-violence of the military-industrial complex with the stupidity of brainless liberals.

The policy of invade the world, invite the world has created a refugee crisis where military age men march into the West often seeking venegence. The good thing to do would be to be at peace will all men, and try to avoid conflict and not let these people into our country. However politics makes common sense solutions more complicated then they really are. Often time Washington has picked the wrong actors to support in conflict. The mujahideen in the 1980s or the Soviet Union in the 1940s, often times to defeat one enemy we often empower another one, however at the times these things were not as predictable as whats going on now. What is going on now is almost completely criminal. President Khairallah of Khaitay is supporting terrorist groups worldwide and the CIA, the White House, the UN they all do nothing but sit by and pat him on the back.

So understand this first Snake, the President does not know about this mission. Me and the heads of JSOC have decided to bring you back along with other old members of FOXHOUND. The CIA and a rogue paramilitary known as XOF are doing everything in their power to sabatodge this mission, if word got out without the right context we could end up looking as criminals. However our enimies do not want word to get out on this. Since they too would look like criminals, even worse in fact. Khaitay is the source of black site for the CIA's Special Activites Division.

Now I will inform you on your mission in full detail when the rest of FOXHOUND arrives. I hope what I said so-far sums it up and gives you an idea of what's going on."

Snake thought what could this all mean?

To be Continued...

Northern Khaitay

"This mission is highly top-secret, if you are caught you will be disavowed and viewed as rouge by the government and media complex. We cannot offically state we were involved. Remember Snake we are counting on you, your contact is Khawarazem Ali. A local commander in the Khaitayi Hezbollah he has been our main contact, I'm as nervous as you are about working with him so stay on your toes and tread carefully. You and your team will meet up with him and his men so be cautious." Snake listened in to the transmission, he was arriving with a 14 man team, to bring Khairallah's eldest son Tulayha back dead or alive intel earlier had stated this would nip the bud of the terrorist supply line and chain of command. Snake rolled some Tobacco on the long helicopter ride from Kurk Murzban to Khairallah controlled Khaitay, he smoked. The fresh rolled Tobacco was part of his plan to quit cigerettes which had added too many additional carcinogens to the natural Tobacco.

Snake felt something was going to go wrong with the mission, the whole thing just felt dirty. This was a dirty war, even if it was against terrorists and a rouge regime that sponsored them, all war was dirty. And with any war casualties were bound to occur, the fires of revenge were bound to be fueled. The old eye for an eye system, bound to be misused for personal vengence between tribes and neighbors.

Khaitay


The JSOC operators had met up with the Khaytayi Shi'ite miltia known as the Death Brigade, led by Khawarazem Ali. After much discussion the target location was spotted, a mansion. The residence of the target, a large villa. Snake did not like what he heard inside the giggling of young women and the laughter of children, this would complicate things.

"Now remember the General said that we can take this guy back alive, I would prefer no casualties. You guys got that?"

"Sir, yes sir." said on of the JSOC operators. It began to rain Snake stood up as the water dripped down his night vision goggles.



"Alright then men, lets rock and roll!"

They went in one by one followed by the Shi'ite miltia forces, they kicked down the door.



"Everyone down on the ground." Shouted one of the operators, all of them crowding into the house, women and children screaming. The operators and Shi'ite miltiamen had their guns drawn. The operators would be noticable by their patches FOXHOUND as a signal that the special forces FOXHOUND was back and revamped more then ever.

The Shi'ite death brigade miltiamen were armed with MP5s and wore black balaclavas, as well as black shahada headbands similar to the Sunni headbands worn by Sunni Jihadists, the goal being to cause confusion to avoid any blame on the Shi'ite community.

"Where is Tuhayl? We are here to arrest him." Snake garled to the oldest woman in the home.

Kurk Murzban, Khataiy

Explosion caused by the Popular Resistance at the port of Kurk Murzban

---

The Popular Resistance was tasked with undermining Waseem and the rest of the opposition, part of their goal was to also create the image that Waseem and his rebels weren't really popular and the people really hated them to the point of taking armed action to bring back Khairallah's authority. The group was being directly armed and ordered by the Interior Ministry and Mukhabarat, the group also had relations with the Directorate of the National Guard however the group was not officially recognized or registered as part of the National Guard to keep its image as a purely independent grassroots movement in opposition to Waseem, its members had military background mostly from the army and air force, some were also ex-police, others that were recruited had criminal backgrounds but were recruited for their skills and willingness to fight for their country, as well as the large sums of money promised to them.

Plans were being drawn up to plant TATP explosives in the port of Kurk Murzban, Waseem's opposition was able to maintain a small naval force from abandoned navy ships in the port and defecting naval personnel, and under the Elista agreement it was determined through compromise it was agreed the alternative government could maintain an independent naval force, however fears ran that this would be abused into smuggling weapons into Kurk Murzban and these fears have seemingly become a reality.

It was determined to strike at night, by sneaking into the port, a team of 5 men head out carrying suppressed AKMS rifles with the stocks folded or removed, they wore balaclavas and civilian clothes. They drove to the port in a regular sedan, before arriving they parked in an ally way near the port and they cut a hole in the chain linked fence then proceeded, there was little security aside from a few guards who also carried Kalashnikov rifles part of the self-proclaimed "Naval Defense Forces" they wore basic uniforms from captured Khataiyi warehouses and cheaply made patches that said "Naval Defense Forces" with a symbol of an anchor and two M4 rifles crossed over it. Some of them wore balaclavas some didn't, security was light only numbering around a dozen men.

The insurgent cell moved carefully, there was no knowledge of the arms shipments aside from rumors and the target of the raid was fuel storage however they saw the arms shipments and took note taking pictures of them with mobile phones, they made no attempt to target them even though this would possibly be the only opportunity to do so, but with time a media campaign would be initiated showing the arms shipments and discrediting the rebels as foreign agents.

As they finally reached the fuel storage they began planting their bombs, and left as they left their escape route was blocked by naval defense, they hadn't been discovered but their only path out would mean their discovery. They waited until a naval defense soldier noticed them and pointed his rifle saying "Hands up now!" They turned around and pointed their guns back and said "Drop your weapon!" The guard put his hands up and his weapon down slowly, and he was shot before he could get back up, his body was moved and put behind stacked boxes. They were able to move again and navigate their way out. The bombs were detonated remotely shortly after creating a large explosion shaking the ground, riddling windows and causing car alarms to go off.

Hours later in the morning a statement was released claiming responsibility for the attack,

Khataiyi soldiers resting after fighting Hezbollah

---

Hezbollah reinforcements arrived throughout the morning with the first batch coming in around 06:00 and continuing on until 11:00 at least 70 fighters had arrived along with several technicals and improvised armored vehicles, they also brought along SPG-9 launchers and Iranian supplied ATGMs, they had been firing mortars and missiles for much of the morning and clashes were happening sporadically with instances of gun fire, there was no casualties on the Khataiyi side aside from the losses yesterday, however the same couldn't be said for Hezbollah that lost 20 men 4 of which were executed upon capture.

Hezbollah fired 3 ATMGs during the day hitting buildings held by government forces and destroying a pickup truck severely injuring a soldier nearby it, by the afternoon much of the fighting died down for the day. Until night time when the sun set Hezbollah fighters attempted to infiltrate Khairallah's lines but were repelled 2 government soldiers were injured and 1 Hezbollah fighter was killed with the rest fleeing, the killed Hezbollah fighter was a child soldier aged 13 who wore digital camo similar to IRGC patterns and a red headband with green writing that said "Labbaik Ya Hussein", photos of his corpse were circulated by Khataiyi media to expose Hezbollah for using child soldiers.

Presidential palace, Antakya, Khataiy

Khairallah's office

---

The CIA had called upon Khairallah for a meeting, with urgent information relating to a possible attempt on his life by rogue elements in the military plotting to kill him. Khairallah had been staunchly anti-American until the early 2010s when Khataiy and the US began working together against common enemies such as Ghaddafi and later Assad and Khairallah's biggest enemies Iran and Hezbollah, this was assisted by regional allies of both Khataiy and the US such as Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Qatar these nations helped shape American and Khataiyi relations for the better.

The rogue elements in the military still saw Khairallah as an enemy, someone who should have been taken care of a long time ago like Saddam Hussein and the Taliban, with the only thing saving him being the disaster of the Iraq war, but with the current course of events it could easily be manipulated to finally bring regime change to Khataiy.

"Mr.Khairallah, the military intelligence has plans to take you out." Is what the CIA agent told Khairallah, Khairallah was surprised, "What reason would this be?" The CIA agent replied, "They see you as a threat, and your downfall as an opportunity." Khairallah laughed and replied, "Is Iran a better alternative?" The CIA agent said, "To them yes." Khairallah asked, "Is the President aware?" The CIA agent answered, "We all have suspicions but nothing can be confirmed." Khairallah said, "Thank you for warning me." The talking continued for several minuets before ending. They left and Khairallah called together military officials, Uthman al-Ghamadi the foreign minister, the interior minister, and Mukhabarat officials. An informal meeting was held in Khairallah's office, it was late at night, "We need to evacuate, we are in danger, and our country is being threatened." Muhammad Aswari the interior minister asked, "Is it regarding Waseem or Hezbollah?" Khairallah replied, "They are part of the issue, yes, men from the CIA have just visited me, explaining rogue factions in the American military are plotting to kill me and overthrow our government, they are working with the rebels and Hezbollah." A military officer said, "This is what happens when you make deals with the devil." Omar replied, "You can't make a deal with the devil when you're fighting the devil. We are at war with Satan's Party and the Iranian Safavids those are the real devils." Khairallah continued, "We need to evacuate to Fustat."

Abdul Salman, Akbez Governorate, Khataiy

Khairallah's eldest son Tulayha Ibn Omar with his 4 daughters

---

Tulayha was Khairallah's first born, he was born in June of 1995 in Khataiy and spent time in Iraq for a part of his childhood during Saddam Hussein's presidency in the central province of Salahhudin and at times Mosul where Khairallah's uncle lived as well as the family's home town of Qaim in western Anbar after the 2003 invasion these family members fled to Khataiy and he spent much of his childhood in southern Khataiy where the family also had a long presence after fleeing Syria in the 60s and 70s. As he grew up he would also visit his mother's home country of Morocco during summers and sometimes winter. When he was aged 15 he married the 22 year old daughter of one the Presidential Palace's maids named Hafsa.

She had worked with her mother in the palace and developed a relationship with Tulayha as a friend, he always thought of her as being very beautiful and nurturing and asked his father Omar Khairallah for permission to marry her, Khairallah asked her mother and father who worked as a chef in the capital at several hotels and at time the palace, and they accepted the offer for Tulayha to marry her daughter and a large dowry was paid to the family, he bore a child with her months later around the time he turned 16.

Two years later when he was 18 he married his next wife Mariam who was 16, he had known from school before graduating, and had a daughter and a son with her while with Hafsa he had two daughters, by the time he was 18 he married his third wife who was a year younger, she came from Yemen and claimed to have mixed ancestry from India and Somalia, as well as Yemeni Arab, after marrying her they had two sons together.

He owned several businesses in Khataiy including a bus company and taxi service, a mineral refinery, and with the war in Syria he also owned weapons factories in neighboring Syria that produced mortars and explosives for the Syrian rebels, with his funds he bought a large ranch style property and built a luxurious villa on it, he also allowed the Syrian rebels to train on his property in northern Khataiy. He was an avid horse rider, he enjoyed hunting and falconry, he also owned several luxury vehicles and took trips to Dubai, Switzerland and places like Singapore, he also performed the Hajj pilgrimages with his wives and children several times, some have seen him as a potential successor to his father but he has rejected any political ambitions or plans for presidency instead focusing on his family and businesses.

He was eating dinner, while the special forces came, Hafsa had made a large meal that was enjoyed by everyone, his son Omar named after his father came up to him, "Baba what are we doing tomorrow?" Tulayha replied, "Maybe visit Antakya then Iskanderun, we can go see Grandpa and maybe the beach, its a long drive though so maybe this weekend, you got school anyway." Hafsa kissed Tulayha on the cheek and said "Habeebi did you enjoy your food." Tulayha smiled and said "Everything you make, by Allah is better than the last." Mariam told Hafsa, "Teach me your recipes, I want him to love me as much as he loves you." Hafsa laughed and said, "I can teach you how to cook but some things just come with age." And she looked at Tulayha smiling, he smiled and looked down.

After the meal everyone got to bed, Tulayha was in Hafsa's room spending time with her, he loved all of his wives equally but the bond he shared with Hafsa was special being his fist wife, and the friendship they had prior to their marriage, in public his wives wore niqabs or hijabs, but at home they dressed comfortably, she wore her sleep clothes in privacy with him, Hafsa is a curvaceous women, with long dark hair and well sized assets. He left her for a moment to go to tuck in his children, as he left the special forces broke in.

"Where is Tulayha? We are here to arrest him." Is what the American yelled at Hafsa, she was terrified and screamed, Tulayha was down the hall in his son's room, he told his son, "Stay here" And he made his way to a closet down stairs where he stored his guns, his arsenal including 1 Kalashnikov, 1 STG77 rifle, an AR15, several hand guns, and a shotgun, he also owned traditional weapons including a muzzle loaded rifle, a flint lock, as well as a hunting rifle, and a Lee Enfield bolt action rifle. He grabbed his Bellini Shotgun and Glock 18 handgun and took cover behind a corner after going back upstairs.

He noticed the special forces in his wife's bedroom, and aimed his shotgun as one had his back turned and shot two rounds quickly, then he switched to his glock and began shooting rapidly at another soldier aiming for his head and legs, he had an extended clip in his glock and had 2 additional magazines ready, his children and wives were screaming and crying, Hafsa told the special forces operator, "Go to hell you dog" as she sat on the floor in her lingerie with her hands up, as Tulayha shot she covered her head with her hands and crawled to a safer part of the room in the exchange of fire. Tulayha yelled "Get out of my house!" as he shot at the special forces.

Background music

Two JSOC operators were down, was killed and the another one wounded, the rest began firing short controlled bursts at Tulayha. Snake then grabbed Hafsa holding at gun-point he did not really intend to harm her, but was going to use her as leverage. "Drop the gun Tulayha, I got your wife." the rest of the special forces got in front of him to provide cover for Snake. "Surrender now, the odds of you saving her without surrendering are slim to none." Snake said in his raspy voice, Snake shook Hafsa saying to her "Do you want to live, your children to live? Beg for your husband to surrender." Snakes conscience started to really bother him at this point was he a soldier or hitman? A warrior or a terrorist? A freedom fighter or a criminal? Only time would tell.

The aimed their guns, waiting for a response, the Shi'ite milita circling around Tulayha disguised with Salafi looking headbands to create confusion as to who was the culprit. Their attempt at suprise would be given away by Khawarazem Ali, who came in sleeveless with a tattoo of Ali and Zulfiqar on his right arm. Snake whispered to himself "The circus has arrived." chuckling a bit. The Shi'ites had gone away from the general mission point to drop dildos and porn to discredit Tulayha.

Snake said "Surrender now, or I will be forced to shoot your wife."

[Khataiy]

Tulayha pointed his Glock at snake, "I love you Habibi!" He yelled at his wife, she was silent and in shock to what was going on tears rolled down her cheeks, Tulayha said "You have no business here what do you want?! You will not get away with this, who are you people?" He noticed the men who dressed like Salafis he didn't notice the tattoos on Khawarzem or think much of it at all thinking solely on survival. The first thing that came to mind to say was "Are you Mujahideen? Are Daesh? Are al-Qaeda? Hitish (HTS)? What is this? I will protect my family from you swines!" Hafsa looked at the men dressed like Mujahids and saw them unloading porn and sex toys in the room, she was angered as it was her bedroom, "Get that filth out of here you pigs what kind of men are you doing this! You have no honor you perverts!" When Tulayha heard this he said "Leave her alone, By Allah I will slaughter you if you do anything to her, come over here and act like men!"

When snake said he would shoot his wife, Tulayha asked, "You wouldn't..." He clenched his gun harder, he was shaking, he suddenly felt cold while simultaneously sweaty, he was scared, his stomach was rambling with the pain of fear, and visibly he was pale, "What sort of animal would kill an unarmed women, a mother! Kill me! Do it you bastard!"..." Allah is the greatest!" Is what he yelled anticipating he would be shot hoping his final words would be praise to God.

[United States of Ameruica]

Snake looked at Hafsa, and then dropped his own gun. A mistake that one would not expect a professional soldier to make but it did happen. Snake's own conscience got to him. What kind of man am I? he thought, the other special forces hesitated began opening a barrage of fire on Tulayha accidentally hitting one of the Shi'ite miltiamen who tried to encircle Tulayha, after hitting Tulayha and accidentally killing one of the Shi'ites, a cry of "friendly fire, we shot one of our own guys." the other Shi'ites were a bit shocked "He shouldn't have tried something so stupid."

Hafsa bolted from Snake spitting at him, and ran over to Tulayha who was bleeding profusely.

[Khataiy]

Tulayha fell down instantly from the shots, as he heard the click of the gun he instinctively pulled the trigger of his own gun, not even thinking but just firing. On the floor the entry wounds were visible in his white thawb and blood began pouring out his torso, he also began to cough up blood, he mentally prepared to die saying "Allahu Akbar" but his body wasn't ready pulling the trigger as a reflex. Hafsa ran to him crying saying, "You're not going to die, you're not going to die!" She had known him since birth working in the palace alongside her mother in the palace, she used to play with him, and talk to him, they were always close, and all these memories rushed through her mind as she cried for him, "I love you so much, please habibi! Please, you can survive!" She hugged his body tightly, his eyes were off staring aimlessly straight as he struggled to cling to life, he could barely speak, he said to her, "I will beg for you in Jannah." She said as she began to cry "Oh Allah take me too!" She kissed his cheek then forehead, and picked up his glock turning around, her grip on it was loose, and she clearly had no will to actually do anything, she dropped it on the floor and sat down crying as her husband passed away on her lap. She screamed "You bastards! Get the fuck out of here! All of you get out!" before throwing a piece of broken glass at them.

[United States of Ameruica]

The broken glass hit Snake across the cheek scarring him, he didn't even feel it.

The Special forces and Shi'ite miltiamen all began to slowly walk out of the house, many of them with their heads down, the other carried out the two casualties, and the Shi'ites also grabbed their man who was killed from friendly fire. Snake looked at Hafsta he looked away and stepped into the hall way to smoke. Khawarazem Ali however did not leave, Khawarazem whipped out his own snake cornering Hafsta with the intent of violating her "Hey habibi you want to be my muta?" he laughed, however Snake walked in and aimed his 1911 at Khawarazem "Come on you bastard, no time for this shit." Khawarazem zipped up his pants "Sorry buddy." laughing a bit embarrassed. He followed Snake out onto the property.

"This is Snake, the Shi'ite fighters got the photos, mission accomplished. We got two casualties one man dead, the other man wounded." he said hesitantly. Snake stood there outside smoking, Lt. Colonel Miguel Aquinas had just arrived in a Blackhawk, he was part of the U.S. Army psy-op division. "We lost two men. We have photos of his wives thought you could find these useful, we planted dildos and sextoys all over the place. Its safe in there nothing by women and children. We killed Tulayha, we accidentally shot one of the Shi'ite miltia from friendly fire."

Aquinas smiled he was part of another military program known as GLADIUS and was an expert in clean up work. "Well the Shi'ites, we were the ones who ordered them to dress up like Sunni Muslims." Snake quickly noticed something the incoming forces were lining up the Shi'ite miltiamen and Khawarzem was assisting them.

Aquinas walked over handing Khawarzem a suitcase as the Shi'ite miltiamen were gunned down by the JSOC troops, the Shi'ites had been tricked. "Khawarzem told us he had some expendable men, we will claim they were guarding the compound and that they were ISIS fighters." Snake finished his smoke and got out another one. "Have a light Snake." Aquinas lit it for him "Time to head to West Khaitay, We will be meeting up with Bronze Serpent."

Snake said "I didn't order my men to shoot those Shi;ites?"

" We gave one of the senior officers in your unit special orders that were not told about at first. Sorry, need to know basis." Aquinas said

Snake groaned

Snake and his spec-ops team got on the helicopter and began heading toward West Khaitay, they had been tricking the government that they were a CIA team that was "friendly to Khaitay" when in reality they were part of rouge units within JSOC.

[Bronze Serpent]

The US Army having done the operation completely undercover finally revealed the truth to President Jackson who angered greatly having not been informed. A cover-up was then ensue, they contacted media mogul Aaron Belensky of Belensky Broadcasting Network to broadcast psy-ops to throw off the public and give an offical narrative alledging that Tulayha was in a heavily guarded compound. The presence of Shi'ite deathsquads missing from the offical narative developed by Special Forces unit FOXHOUND.




"This is Dick Richardson with BBN (Belensky Broadcasting Network), a developing story about a special forces raid reported to be done by a secret American military unit known as FOXHOUND. The raid was against Khatayi President Omar Khairallah's eldest son Tulayha Khairallah, said to be a powerful drug lord. The Special Forces said they had two casualties on their team, one was killed by shotgun fire and the other severely wounded.

They fought through a team of heavily armed ISIS miltiamen, they killed Tulayha Khairallah after he resisted arrest. The team was given strict orders to arrest however things went wrong. They confiscated an arsenal of heavy weapons and explosives, and found that the supposebly devout Muslim was in possession of Porn and sex toys. It was a rather extensive collection, uh this man was clearly a sex addict."

"The Special Forces team operated in the upmost caution, not a single civillian was hurt."

"We go to BBN analyst, Melissa Goldstein."



"Hey Dick, glad to be here."

Dick gave a large grin at his fine guest.

"Holly, what do we know about this raid?"

Holly said "Well my sources being an embeded journalist tell me that this was one because Army intelligence found evidence of a large drug smuggling ring that was tied to Mexican cartels and ISIS, and so they were tasked to arrest Tulhaya for questioning but sadly it went wrong and he was killed. But other then that the mission was a resounding success."

Dick then said "YOU HEARD IT HERE FOLKS, THE MISSION WAS A RESOUNDING SUCCESS."

[Khataiy]

Antakya, Khataiy

Al-Rahman Mosque in the suburbs of Antakya

After the death of Tulayha and the spec ops team left the house, Tulayha's wives and children mourned his death, a call was made to the local fire department in the nearby town of Abdul Salman who removed the body, the military was also called in to provide protection for the family while members of the Mukhabarat and interior ministry were called in to investigate the assassination. Mariam noticed several missed calls on Tulayha's phone from his father Omar Khairallah, she turned to Hafsa while sitting in the morgue at the hospital in Akbez, "Omar called him 3 times, when it happened." Hafsa replied, "Let me see I will call him." She got his phone and called Omar, Khairallah was in the process of getting items prepared to evacuate to the Fustat bunker in the country's central mountains but he felt his phone ring in his pocket and noticed it was from Tulayha, he answered, "Tulayha I've been calling you all night, did you go to sleep early?" Hafsa answered, "Its actually Hafsa." Omar replied, "Oh, hello Hafsa, glad to hear you, tell Tulayha we need to go to Fustat it isn't finished yet but its safer then being exposed its only temporary insha'Allah." Hafsa said, "Well..." Omar said, "What's wrong? Is everything okay?" Hafsa began to weep, Omar was worried, "Hafsa what is happening let me speak to Tulayha!" Hafsa let out, "He's dead!" Omar's heart skipped a beat and his stomach began to ache, he leaned on his desk, he couldn't believe what he heard, "No, you don't mean that." Hafsa was crying, "By Allah he was murdered." A range of emotions filled Khairallah, doubt, confusion, sadness and anger, "Who did this! I will have their heads on pikes, I will execute them myself!"

Hafsa replied, "I don't know they wore black clothes, they had the Shahada on their headbands they smelled like cigarettes, I think one of them was European or American he pointed a gun at my head, one of the other men exposed himself to me and he wanted to violate me, he said he would do mutah with me before the white guy made him stop. They threw disgusting pornography all over my room and sex toys before they left. They were perverts." Khairallah was outraged, "They wanted to rape you?! And kill my son! I will kill these people they will not leave this country alive." Khairallah then asked, "Where are you, are you safe." Hafsa said, "Yes we're in Akbez at the hospital his body is here, we have some soldiers protecting us and the local police." Khairallah replied, "Bring him to Antakya, I'll have the army escort you here on helicopter to the palace, and we'll be in Fustat by tonight." Hafsa said "Okay, sure." Khairallah asked, "What about Mariam and Zaynab? And the kids?" Hafsa replied, "Yes, Alhamdulillah, everyone is okay, we're all still scared Mariam can't stop crying, and Zaynab still doesn't believe it happened, the kids, don't even get me started I don't know, I just don't know what to do." Khairallah said, "Okay we'll see you soon." Hafsa said, "Yes insha'Allah"

The soldiers tasked with guarding the family were informed the President's personal guards from the Interior ministry would arrive. They arrived in armored vehicles and the family loaded in, while a separate armored truck would transport the body of Tulayha, they would be transported to a rendezvous point where a helicopter would transport everyone to the capital's military airfield.

The family arrived in Antakya and its military airport where more armored vehicles awaited them, Tulayha's body was loaded in a separate vehicle to be transferred to another morgue. While the family would go to the Presidential palace to see Khairallah. The ride was short no more than 15 minuets, until arriving at the palace, it was still dark outside and very early in the morning. The palace was illuminate by lights, the palace sat atop a hill surrounded by Cyprus trees and cedars, the palace itself was a Mediterranean style with large windows on the side overlooking the city.

In the front beyond the road from the entrance checkpoint was a large fountain, the armored convoy followed the path down until driving up to the fountain, nearby was a large swimming pool with more fountains pillars, as well as cabanas and pavilions, as well as seemingly endless Bermuda grass. After exiting the vehicles the smell of the chlorine and water from the fountain could be smelled.

Khairallah was upstairs in his office packing important files and discussing continuity plans with military officials, while his wife was in the master bedroom getting clothes with the service staff and telling their youngest son and only one who still lived at home, Saddam what to pack. Khairallah was told by a servant that Tulayha's wives and children arrived and he went down stairs to the foyer along with Sarah, his wife.

Khairallah was clearly tired and emotionally drained, his facial hair was very unkept, he usually kept a trimmed beard or mustache alternating between the two, however his facial hair was uneven. He hadn't gotten sleep in almost two full days, Khairallah was wearing a white thawb with the sleeves rolled up. He greeted his sons family, "Come we need to talk." Is what he said as he guided them to a sitting room.

As he sat down he lit a cigarette, he usually smoked cigars with his friends or while relaxing, or at times he would casually smoke filtered little cigars such as during meetings or when he had tea, cigarettes were rare for him, he cut down greatly nearly quitting when he became President in the 1990s moving back to Khataiy from France.

After taking a pull on his cigarette he said, "I already explained this to Hafsa on the phone, we need to evacuate we are going to Fustat, it isn't finished yet but it is good enough and we will be much safer there." Khairallah's son entered the room, "Baba when are we going?" Khairallah said, "We will leave soon." Saddam looked at his brother's family and asked, "Are they coming too? Where's Tulayha?" Khairallah took another pull from his cigarette, before saying, "Come over here." Saddam walked up to his father, "He... he has been... murdered." Khairallah continued, "It's already happening, we are going to have his funeral then leave its still early enough to have a full day."

After the family meeting the country's national media was contacted, and Tulyaha's body was prepared for his funeral which was determined to be held at a small local Mosque in the northeastern suburbs of Antakya, as news spread people began to amass at the Mosque holding Khataiyi and Islamic flags chanting slogans.

Tulyaha's poster

Posters of Tulayha were distributed, on some posters in Arabic calligraphy it said, "The Martyr if Allah wills, Abu Muthanna Ibn Khairallah Ibn Raes al-Khataiyi al-Anazzah" On television on state run stations film played showing Tulayha in his childhood, riding horses, performing the Hajj to Mecca, him playing with his children and him visiting soldiers while a nasheed played in the background, and a narrator spoke giving an eulogy saying, "A knight of our nation, a son of our country, a father and a man of honor, he was slain defending his family and died declaring his love for his God, and with his weapons in hand, and departed this life for the next in the company of his beloved wife Umm Muthanna al-Antakawi."

President Khairallah went to the funeral, and a gave an eulogy as well he stood behind reinforced bullet proof glass which was a first for him and uncommon, he wore a black thawb and black embroidered ghutra, and around his waist he was carrying a traditional Arab Jambiya knife as he walked on stage to the podium outside the mosque he was holding a Quran and a Tasbih rosary, he spoke,

"In the name of Allah, the most Gracious the most Merciful, I have said we are at war, and today this war evident, from our battle in Suwadiya against the Magian Safavids to our war on Iran's imperialism today the fight has not only been brought to us but it has been opened in our homes, the criminals have collaborated, the Imperialists, the Safavids, the traitors and all of our enemies have gathered in an alliance against our nation, our people and our faith. I tell the Party of Satan [Hezbollah] that a day of vengeance will come to you unparalleled to any battle in the history of humanity, I tell the Safavids our rage in our hearts for you is comprehensible you have murdered the sons of Iraq, Syria, Yemen and our home of Khataiy you have called upon gangsters, mercenaries, and the filth of humanity in your war against the Arabs and Islam, Khataiy will be a fortress of steadfastness, we will be a fortress and a shield of truth and justice, they hate us because we are the harshest towards them and their criminal plot, they want to divide us, weaken us and harm us, no is our response, no is what we will write with our blood as it drips fighting the Safavid Magians at a new Qadisiya.

The flames have been lit in Baghdad and it will continue to burn through Damascus and Aleppo until it reaches us here in Khataiy where we will defeat the Persians and our swords will rest under the shade of our victorious banners. When I was young, I used to go the Mosque and the Imam would say the companions of the Prophet would judge a man by how he died, look at how Tulayha was slain! He died with his weapons in his hands defending his family, what does this say about him, no matter how the Masonic Dajjal media networks like to portray him and slander him with lies of 'pornography' and filth that is illegal here, I tell the dishonest news media of the anti-Christ you are guilty, you are guilty like the murderers of Tulayha and you should be ashamed of spreading such fake and baseless 'news' that only benefits and serves the Mullahs of Tehran."

After his speech he joined a congregational prayer, and he recited Surah al-Fatiha which is traditional for Islamic funerals. After everything was done it was slightly past noon, and the family began departing to the unfinished Fustat bunker built into the country's mountains to begin their stay until it would be safe to return to their normal lives.

FOXHOUND HEADQUARTERS-Kurk Murzban, Khataiy

At the docks, a rusty old building stood part of a group of warehouses being used secretly by the US Military's JSOC and private military contractors in Bronze Serpent, the place almost became a secret joint base for what many would call an illegal invasion on par with the Bay of Pigs.

Snake sat at a table playing cards with several Bronze Serpent mercs, Snake brought up a conversation with them "So, you guys say Ben Miller is still alive?"

One of the Mercs a muscular black man with an Afro, codenamed the "Black Lightning" said "Yo man, that is da truth it was all a cover-up planned at Shadow Moses." The powerful of his melonated masculinity spoke with sterness and truth as of that of an African Zulu tribal warrior with strong conviction, Snake was suprised "Master Miller escaped death?" He sat next to another merc from Germany Otto Von Schultz "Ja, when I was in the Abwher we confirmed it also." his Aryan glow and strength shining in his words like a Hyperborean warrior the truth was just too obvious.

Snake knew what these men were saying was true, "I was told by Ross he was captured by ISIS, which the General suspects of being in league with Khaitay." Otto said "Khaitay in many ways has enabled ISIS, they are the ultimate proxy state of Zionism. However ISIS I do not think is holding Miller on behalf of Khaitay, in fact their relations are pretty shaky. But regardless we are being paid well to fight both Khaitay and ISIS."

Snake knew where his next mission was likely to be, getting Miller out from ISIS.

Medditernian Sea, the USS Liberty II Aircraft carrier

Background Music

The USS Liberty II was an aircraft carrier christened in honor of the US signals ship known as the USS Liberty that was sunk during the Johnson Administration as part of a failed False Flag to get America into war with Egypt and Syria. The truth was largely covered-up by a joint American-Israeli intel complex conspiracy, however the death of the many of the crew was finally honored in a contriversal naming of a newly built Aircraft carrier. The USS Liberty II a shining light of American liberty named in honor of the fallen heroes of old!

However a deadly fate was about to befall the USS Liberty II, speeding toward it was an un-marked fighter jet that would launch two powerful Exocet missiles.





It was the worst event since Pearl Harbor, based on lies much like the Gulf of Tonkin...however the public would not know this. They would not know that elements within their own Government carried out a false flag to blame on the enemy as pre-text for war. Many sailors and marines lost their life that day and many were still being counted only a few days later.

The Troops already based in Kurk Murzban were not given full orders alongside contracts given to Bronze Serpent for full mobilization four counter-terrorist operations against Khaitay. Later that day President Johnathan Jackson would declare war against Khaitay, calling for the mobilization of the U.S. Marine Corps.

The President who had so desperately hoped for peace and to cooperate with Khaitay was now having his hand forced into another war. Although suspicious of foul play, he did distrust the Khatayi government, but regard

"I...I do not know how to say this. At 10:46 PM, Intelligence reported a Khatayi fighter jet, launched two Exocet missiles in a supprise attack taking out the the flagship the USS Liberty II. We are still counting the casualties and survivors, I can only say that as of today the United States is offically at war with Khaitay. "

[United States of Ameruica]

The Pentagon, 11:56 PM

President Jackson stood up "What is the situation on the ground?"

The National security adviser Bob Jenkins said "Sir, it is quite likely Khairallah is preparing his forces in defense, he probably is in contact with Radical Sunni Islamic groups in Syria to coordinate any sort of defense. Certain members of the media are already claiming that the Khatayi attack on the USS Liberty II was a false flag so chances are Khairallah is going to try and portray our troops as Crusaders coming to snuff out Islam."

"And what does Psy-Ops think of this." President Jackson said sternly.

Lt. Colonel Miguel Aquinas was an American of Filipino descent who was part of the U.S. Army's Psy-ops and had been working with Foxhound on the ground in Khaitay, he knew the place in and out today he was present at the Pentegon to advocate for a new fighting strategy called Brain War. "Well Mr. President, we need to try and make the Muslims think we are on their god's side. We need to convince them that Khairallah is a sick and reprehensible man, we think child labor and child slavery would be a good accusation to levy against him. We would also reccomend dividing and conquering the native population through agitating tribal warfare between Bedouins." Aquinas gave everyone the creeps and rumors he had been practicing the occult were rampant at the Pentagon. He had beady looking dark colored eyes and a widows peak in his hair, his smile reaked of perversion for some reason.

President Sparks would get a bad sting in his conscience for allowing Aquinas so much power and secuirty clearence.

President Jackson said "What do we know of the culture?"

A college student with a nose ring and pink hair hired by the Pentagon as an anthropologist known as Becky Dickinson began to speak "The Khatayi Muslim culture is extremely Conservative, however we must be sensitive" although Becky did not seem like the kind of person who would work for the Military-Industrial Complex the likes of her were quite common, as the CIA and Intelligence groups were hiring anthropologists to try and gain full-spectrum dominance over native populations, anthroplogy was weaponized. And often the hippy dippy yippy college students were the ultimate war-hawks. War was Peace now and was heavily hip and popular among liberals. The President said "Good, I hope to see what you can do." he turned to an older-man with a long white mullet type hair style, the man wore military fatigues and a tye-dye t-shirt with a peace sign this was Major Jeb James head of the Whole Earth Battalion. "What of you Major Jeb James?"

"Mr. President the Remote Viewing Department will get right to work on trying to pin-point the location of Omar Khairallah. I guarntee it."

"Mr. President if I may interuppt." said Major General Mike Sparks of the 82nd Airborne

"From what I understand you trying to mobilize the Marine Corps, they are not suited for a mission like this. A mission like this needs to be airborne and it should utilize the best of our M113 Gavin military high-technology for off-road mobility if we are to minimize casulties and maximize victory."

"Watch it ground-pounder." said General John Philips of the U.S. Marine Corps. "We will be the first to go in, your 82nd retards will not be stealing the thunder of the vastly superior forces of the Marine Corps, your over-paid clean up crew can come in and pickup our mess when we are finished." he scoffed

General Sparks shrugged his shoulders at the arrogance of the Marine Corps General

The President turned to Erik Voeward head of Bronze Serpent a powerful military contractor, "Okay Mr. Voeward, what would you suggest?"

"Well Chief I reccomend outsourcing much of the combat, your men have already left Syria. I suggest you send us into Syria to avoid getting your hands dirty that way we can fully cut off any insurgency in Khaitay without violating any existing peace agreements. We already have a man on the ground in Syria right now, former SAS operative known as Eli and we have numerous contacts with the Kurds and other groups, as well as the Assad government. It would be best you leave chasing any Khatayi forces in Syria to us."

The President gave a stern look "Then it's settled, Aquinas I want you back on the ground you will be arriving with the US marines, you will base yourselves with the friendly forces in Kurk Murzban. The Marines are going in first and the Army 82nd and 101st will come in second. Bronze Serpent will handle anything outside of the Khatayi border. Anthropoligists, HUMINT and psy-ops along with civil-affairs will be deployed to help win the hearts and minds of the locals."

"Another thing, the explosin at the Kurk Murzban port must never be repeated, we let the Khatayi forces terrorize Waseem's men. No longer are we going to let another mishap like that happen. More cooperation with Waseem will be required, that will include having US adivsers to train his me, I'm willing to approve it."

The conversation would continue on with representives from the Air-Force, NAVY, DHS, the FBI and the CIA giving their various opinions on the matter along with numerous Army intel agents giving report.

Fustat Bunker, Noor Mountains, Khataiy

Khataiyi Defense Ministry in the bunker

---

Khairallah and his family had moved into the bunker, even though it was still under construction, much of it was complete however since construction began last year after a series of reforms were made to the government's continuity plans, initially an old German-Vichy bunker from the second world war in Antakya was used however being the capital meant if the capital fell the leadership would too, so instead a more remote and secret location was chosen in the country's Noor mountain range that ran through the center of the country, the bunker was built into a mountain with mazes of tunnels, and rooms with the intention of completely housing the government and being suitable for the government to continue to work and operate, this would be the first time it would ever be revealed, the bunker's press room that would be used for statements and speeches, dozens of members part of the Directorate of State Security's militia who served as the President's Personal guardsmen and were the equivalent of a rapid deployment force or Republican guard were assembled, while the defense ministry spokesman commented on the supposed attack on the American ship.

"In the name of Allah the most Gracious, the most Merciful,

We address the United States of America regarding this supposed act of aggression against your nation, the Arab State of Khataiy and its armed forces have no part in this attack. We hold no aggression towards the United States and we have no intentions to carryout such attacks against the nation, this befitting only of an Iranian Safavid plot to draw our country into war and destroy it, as President Khairallah has stated, there is a plot to destroy Khataiy by the belligerent Safavids of our era, because of our stance regarding them and our willingness to confront them and end their regional hegemony and ambitions to enslave our people and nations.

This is an illicit circle of corrupt individuals, traitors, and profiteers to draw our nation into war, we remind these forces their invasion of our nation through Bashar al-Assad was a failed invasion, and the plot to use the traitors of our country as a force against us, and carryout attacks only for our nation to receive the blame is wrong, and will fail, because the truth will always prevail. There is only one entity that can be blamed and that is the Safavids. This is only befitting of their nation, and it is none other than them, this is how they operate, through, deception and murder we warn Iran if any unprovoked attacks continue in or near our nation war will be the only option."

After the statement the men were dismissed and a meeting was called upon by Khairallah with the Revolutionary Command Council, military officers and members of the defense and interior ministries. Khairallah was wearing a blue polo shirt and khaki pants and sat at the head of the table in a room set up in a manner very similar to the Revolutionary Command Council's meeting room in its building in Antakya.

"The Americans want a war." is what Khairallah said, "They don't care about Iran they don't want to fight Iran, they're in league with Iran." Is what he continued to say, he finished by saying "Their government is fractured, we can't rely on our Arab allies to protect us they'd rather sit back and protect themselves, its unfortunate but understandable and a sad reality, the Saudis can only keep going for so long and we obviously aren't worth it for them even though if it were the other way around we would be the first to support them."

Uthman al-Ghamadi the foreign minister replied, "Why don't we just call them and explain the situation? Why shouldn't we call Jordan or the Saudis, or even the Americans themselves? If the government is fractured between supporting us and wanting our destruction, we have done nothing wrong and there are people in their government who know this, but we need to act quick."

The Defense Minister spoke next, "We made a statement as you asked your excellency, we made it clear we have no part in this and this only serves Iran's agenda."

Khairallah nodded his head in agreement saying, "Good, but we need them to believe us those bastards in Tehran are masters of manipulation, if they could they could convince anyone the sky is purple and Hezbollah is a humanitarian organization, no one lies or manipulates better than them, they are slimy filthy liars, utter scum, this is what we are competing with, if those assholes win over public opinion with their sob stories we're done, and they will march around here with their death squads murdering our children and raping our wives like they do in Iraq and dump their trash here like they do in Iraq and repopulate our country, we are not going to be a second Iraq!"

[Khataiy]

Suwadiya countryside, Khataiy

Khataiyi soldiers listening to Latif Khairallah

---

Fighting in Suwadiya made steady progress however the Shiite rebels put up a good defense and well executed resistance anticipating a government assault to happen at any moment, aid was given by Iran and Syria however it has been cutoff. The Shiite rebels also made use of child soldiers and the elderly, the high concentration of fighters in the small area also made things difficult, at times Hezbollah would willingly withdraw leaving behind mines and IEDs and returning hours later at night, after days the offensive stalled with neither side making progress aside from capturing points only to fall back hours later, however the villages captured by the government at the start of the offensive remained under government control.

With the recent crisis in the country, and the assassination of Khairallah's son, though he held no political ambition made many question who would be Omar's heir, and the looming American threat also made many question who could confront them, Latif, the son of Omar's sister has been making his presence known and has shown an increased interest in his image and political aspirations giving TV interviews, visiting Mosques, tribal leaders and business men. He also holds a high rank in the Khataiyi army, but he also held a bad reputation, allegations ranged from drug abuse, to adultery and murder, he was a bad image for the family, and from 2016 to 2017 he was sent to Yemen as an "Advisor" to Yemeni forces fighting the Houthis.

He reshaped his image returning to Khataiy as being a religious Muslim, he made controversial statements praising al-Qaeda in Yemen and Syria which rose many eyebrows, after making the statements he was told not to ever make statements to the public or go on TV again or any other media. However he was resurfaced just under a year later with a Nationalist approach, out of respect for Omar he asked permission to visit the front lines and motivate the troops and take part in the command out of revenge for Tulayha and in his place, as this was something Tulayha would normally do. Omar agreed but warned him not to say anything stupid or potentially harming.

He arrived in the Suwadiya countryside meeting Omar's other son Ibrahim who also holds an officer position in the military, a stage was setup with Khataiyi and Palestinian flags, he was wearing a black uniform with a path of Waffen SS style symbol on it bearing a sword, above it he had another patch that said "No God but Allah", he wore a black beret with the country's seal on it. He walked on the stage holding a microphone,

"In the name of Allah!" He yelled, "Do you know what I am looking at?" He continued, "The destroyers of the Safavids! The avengers of Tulayha, the soldiers of the nation and religion! We will march into Suwadiya and not a single soul will bear anything but thankfulness for your liberation. The world will know the strength and resolve of our nation, these savages will know the force of you elite soldiers. No one can stop us except for God almighty, no one will stand in our way, Hezbulshaytan will be cast back to hell where they came from, by your hands, no mercy! We were ordered to show no mercy, and I will repeat this no mercy! Allahu Akbar!" The men clapped, whistled and repeated back "Allahu Albar!" pointing their guns and right index fingers in the air.

After the speech Latif got back into the limousine that delivered him and went back to Iskanderun in the limousine he had a collection of alcoholic drinks that were secret between him and his Turkish driver, the windows were blacked out and ahead and behind them were two armored vehciles manned with .50 cal machine guns, he poured himself some aged whiskey and pulled out his box of cigarettes and lit up, he called Omar on his phone, "Salam" Omar replied with "Wa alaykum, hello." Latif continued with, "I think they enjoyed the speech we have good men there." Omar replied, "I'm glad to hear that, be careful you are carrying our image, a lot of people don't like you I know you mean well." Latif laughed, "Thank you, my uncle you've always been kind to me, I wish you well." Omar thanked him and the call ended.

He then called a contact of his in the US government, "We need to talk, Omar isn't going to rule anymore Tulayha was taken care of but I want my share, I'll do whatever it takes, have I ever told you about Omar's medical problems? He is getting rather old he is loosing his mind he isn't mentally stable and Tulayha he was a thug and gangster, a bad person, it's good riddance. But I am telling you those morons in Kurk Murzban are bad news for you and me they scream death to America we want your help, just give me time and I'll help you help me."

Washington D.C., The White House

The President sat down at his desk in the Oval office, the scattered paperwork across the desk, even the one of whom most of the public considered the most powerful man on Earth was buisy. However his work was about to be interrupted, his secretary walked into the room, an atractive young blonde woman in her early to mid 20s. "Mr. President, Charles has arrived."

The President raised an eyebrow "Ah, Charles, Wonderful, tell him to come in."

The secretary dialed a button "You may enter." Charles walked through the door winking at the secretary who looked back at the handsome CIA agent Charles then got to buisness with the President. "Mr. President, its been a long time since Langley how are you."

"Wonderful Charles, what do you have for me."

"Well, my old friend Latif Khairallah called, he had a deal and he warned about Kurk Murzban. I think we should really listen to what he has to say. In fact I reccomend inviting him over to the White House."

The President smiled, this was the begining of such a beutiful relationship

Kurk Murzban, FOXHOUND hq
-MISSION BRIEFING-

Snake, and several members of the Alpha Team he was leading sat down at a table, their CO entered the room it was Colonel Ron Campbell. "Alright men, intelligence has found something new." The Colonel passed each man photos of a cargo ship. And then he began to speak "The cargo ship you are looking at belongs to the Ares Group, which is a Stojami mercenary corperation, they registered the ship in Brazil to avoid being noticed.

Recently we noticed an unusal influx of Stojamian weapons among various insurgent groups in the area, the weapons are spreading across the Middle East and are to being sold to groups that seek to undermine the American prescence in Khataiy most specifically. This we cannot allow.

The CIA beleives that Stojam is trying to stoke anti-American sentiment in the region and sell arms to various factions. Currently they have sold arms to both Khataiy and west Khataiy with the hope shifting loyalties toward radical anti-Americanism. They seek to profit off of the battlefield and they are a thorn in our side. Your job will be to take-over the ship and secure the arms. This will not be easy though, you will be evenly matched, the Ares Group is made up of former Stojamian special forces."

Snake coughed "Sound's like a peace of cake."

The Colonel said "Then Its settled then, you will all be deployed soon at 0600 hours."

"Wait Colonel, how do we know its the Stojamians. Just because the weapons are Stojamians does not mean Stojam is involved or trying to undermine America."

The Colonel responded "We have several informants in Stojam, in fact we have noticed an influx of Khatayi officals vacationing in Stojam. It's very unsual. Todays friends, are tommorows enemies and vice versa. "

Snake sighed

After 0600 hours, four FOXHOUND alpha team would get onto a civillian fishing vessel that the Army purchased from a local dealer.

[Stojam]

The Cargo Ship MV "Sparrow 1", Unknown Location in the Mediterranean Sea
A Large cargo ship was travelling from Cayenne, French Guiana towards the city of Suwadiya in Khataiy. It was registered in Sao Luis, Brazil and had Maltese flags on it to avoid suspicion. It was rather branded and advertised as a Maltese trade cargo ship but was in fact a mask to a somewhat illegal arms shipment.
It was really owned and operated by the Stojamian PMC known as "Ares Group". Which was responsible to some of the arms trade made by the Stojamian government, they were the ones executing the upcoming deal in Suwadiya, and they are the ones harvesting profits off the bloody conflict in Khataiy.
Ares Group was not a rag-tag band of thugs, but rather an organized military like organization, full of ex-Stojamian Special Forces operatives who served in the Stojamian Spetsnaz and other Special Forces units in the times of Communism. Those type of people would go to the private market and become a mercenary rather than continuing as soldiers, it pays better and the industry has become strong enough after the fall of Communism, where Post-Soviet states started mass privatizations and switching processes to a market economy.
The main trick the Stojamian government uses to cover up failures of Ares Group is to present the corporation as "private" and denying any sort of involvement with them, yet the whole show is ran behind the scenes, behind everyone's noses. The Stojamian Defense Ministry controls this group and gives them new missions every time.
On this ship there was the main dealer and operative who ran the show, he was the one doing the deal, he is the one controlling currently the squads on the ship. He was making a deal with the Khatayi Hezbollah in Suwadiya, and his name was Nikolay Kirilov.
He was a former Special Operations Officer and he served in the Stojamian invasions of Premsk (aka the Wars against the Shiites in Stojamian history) and various conflicts the People's Republic of Stojam before it's fall was involved in.
He was on the main platform of the ship, breathing himself some fresh air, he thought to himself, "I have a bad feeling about this deal... Dealing with Shiite scum like these... Especially after what the Partia Allakhova did to Stojam, maybe some of these Khatayi Hezbollah men were serving as Mujahideen there, real goddamn scum. But it's "profitable", right? I don't want anything to do with these lowlifes, I hope they all get killed one day by the Khatayi army...", Nikolay had disdain for Shiites, after his experience with the Premsk war and all of his fallen comrades, he didn't care for Shiites, they should be killed in his eyes. But his thoughts were interrupted by the sounds of people calling for him for the briefing room, where Ares Group's CO started speaking... "Alright, last briefing. We will meet up with the Hezbollah men, we do this deal quick, no bullshit. If anyone is acting suspicious then you shoot and retreat to the safety of the ship and then we are out of there. We don't want to risk this operation being compromised. Always make a security perimeter and watch the crates like your life depends on it, you can never trust these slimy greasebags. They'll meet us at the port and promised briefcases full of money, always check that money if it's worth something and let them give you the stuff first. And I'll have to repeat this again, if anything is suspicious for you, notify your comrades and start withdrawing from the deal. We cannot afford this ship going down and those arms seized, and if you see any outsiders, or any outside vessels, you notify your comrades and the Hezbollah men and you go guns blazing and withdrawing from the deal, keep the no-bullshit and quick approach to this deal, we cannot stick around for long. Dismissed."

The men saluted their CO and parted ways to whatever business they had on the ship, Nikolay especially went to get himself a meal. In some time they were going to land in Suwadiya and it might change their life for good or for bad.




Port of Suwadiya, Before FOXHOUND Landing

The ship docked in the night, when the deal started. With that, crewmen started taking action in pulling down crates down to the dockyard, where the meeting was decided. The crewmen moved with speed, as well using cranes to help moving the containers.
The Ares Group men would move in the dockyard, establishing a security perimeter.
With that, they waited for the Hezbollah men to come.
And so after at least 15 minutes, they came in their technicals and SUVs. They were armed with MP5s, sort of captured M4s and M16s and AKMs, they were at least 13 Hezbollah men there. Some were wearing Balaclavas, and some didn't, but the leader of the Hezbollah squads, was the one without a balaclava and it seemed he was in the center, where all the men are protecting him. His name was Sayyid Ibn Ali.
He approached Nikolai and his men that established a security perimeter and started talking to him.
"Salaam Aleikum! I am seeing you are offering us some goods to help in our fight against the Zionist puppets, eh?", which Nikolai responded to with a quick, "Yes." He silently muttered under his breath, "At least the Zionists are protecting freedom and democracy, unlike you animals."
Afterwards he said, "Mashallah! Well let's get to business. What type of tools are you offering us and may I ask why?"
Which he got a response from Nikolai which was busy opening a crate of weapons with his crowbar, "We offer you ATGMs, ammunition, grenades, mines, RPGs and RPG ammunition and various small arms like: Pistols, SMGs, Assault rifles and so on, only the best from the Soviet stockpile and various other sources. And for your question why.... Well, we are feeling generous and we have sympathy for you poor cornered, outgunned, out of aid people. The little aid you received from Bashar's government and Iran and other Hezbollah organizations is gone... So we are your only choice now. Even Waseem is collaborating with the Pindoses (Russian and Slavic derogatory term towards Americans), and he's also out of your reach. We really don't like it when one tribe is having an unfair advantage of the other, so basically, the Sunnis you hate so much and General Waseem are smart, they are making deals and do whatever they can to survive, they have ambitions and are beyond half-assed assassinations and "withdraw then retake" warfare. So how about we make this quick and you give us the money and we give you the weapons?"
He said that in a quite insulting fashion, but the Hezbollah leader had no choice but to accept the deal, he was right after all.
Nikolai then thought to himself, "Give a Musliman (Muslim in Slavic languages) some guns and he'll eat from your palm for the rest of your life... God these people are easy to fool but hard to take down."

After that, Sayyid had a dissatisfied angry look on his face, "I never trusted that slimebag Waseem. But don't worry, we will defeat the American scum and use your guns properly.... Hussein! Give them the briefcases!" Sayyid shouted at some masked Hezbollah militiaman to pass them the briefcases, Nikolai then told another person to come check if the money's any good, "Boris, help me check this money."
They afterwards opened the briefcases, racks of green cold cash, in Dollars and all accounted for. The money was good and afterwards Nikolai said, "Okay the money is ok, now we will do the last preparations and we will be all done here with us parting ways."
Afterwards, the crewmen would work fast in order to bring as many crates as possible for them to carry and store.
Nikolai still had a feeling something might go wrong, at least 0600 hours passed, and he didn't know what would hit him soon. And so would the other people.

Fishing boat being used by US SOF

Snake and 12 man team had arrived, they followed each other, each up the ladder to get on the ship.

"This is Snake, radiocheck."

"Got it go to secure line." each man followed the other, they split up into two 6 man groups. "Weapons-Free." the boat moved up to the Suwadiya dock, following behind them were several groups of the CIA's GLOW-unit repelled down a black-hawk helicopter arriving also in a 12 man team. The Colonel spoke over a mega-phone as the boats, Snake's men and the CIA's elite GLOW-unit arrived to the docks. "This is Colonel Ron Campbell, we have you surrounded drop your weapons!" speaking from the safety of the fishing boat.

[Stojam]

Port of Suwadiya, Khataiy
Nikolay was just finished showing Sayyid the goods and making final preparations before withdrawal. He had the money briefcases stored inside the ship with crewmen and mercs taking them.
He then saw a boat in the horizon, "What the hell?" He said, Sayyid then replied, "What the hell is a boat doing here, I thought this was discreet!".
And then not so long after, a Black Hawk helicopter signaling everyone is under arrest popped up.
Nikolay then said, "Fuck, it's the Americans!" And then Sayyid aimed his MP5 SMG at him, saying, "You treacherous dog! You Slavic piece of shit! You double-crossed me! You brought these Americans here didn't you? You are collaborating with them!"
Nikolay then went to a surrendering like posture with his hands up, he said, "Woah there friend! Just a minute, why should I collaborate with the Americans? They are competition for my business and they are a threat! They can work with someone and then dump them later, they are not our friends and I am pretty sure I would not gain anything from collaborating."
Sayyid had lowered his defenses but still was not convinced, "Oh yeah? How did they come here then? Someone must've ratted us out, I think it was from your men, your responsibility."
Nikolay knew he can't change that stubborn person's mind, and he had to act fast before he gets killed and all of the operation goes down the toilet.
So he slowly moved his hand towards his pocket, without Sayyid noticing and pulled out his loaded and cocked Makarov PM Pistol and with the blink of an eye shooting Sayyid in the head while the other Hezbollah men were distracted with either thinking of ways to escape or shooting out at the incoming Americans.
Sayyid dropped to the ground like a sack of potatoes, and afterwards ran like a bolt towards the ship, gathering all of his other men who were having either a shoot out with Americans or with Hezbollah me.
It was sheer chaos, Hezbollah shooting Ares Mercs, Ares Mercs shooting Hezbollah Mercs or all of them shooting at the Americans.
Nikolay then told a Merc named Boris something, "Boris! Grab the Strela-3 MANPAD, we are gonna swat that American piece of shit out of the sky!"
Shortly after, Boris pulled out a loaded Strela-3 MANPAD launcher from a crate and shouted, "Take this you American motherfuckers!" And locked down on the American Black Hawk, which had teams of people repelling down from it, he fired while the men were repelling and hit the helicopter.
It was swatted out of the sky and the men who were repelling down either swung along with the helicopter who crashed down in a hanger or fell down to the cold hard ground, which would pretty hurt and break some bones.

Nikolay then barked commands to everyone on the board, including the crewmen, who were actually mercs hired to be disguised as crewmen.
He shouted, "Establish a security perimeter! Shoot at any American that's coming on this ship! We will not die here! Hold out at any chance!
The men established a security perimeter and started shooting at anything that's shooting or coming towards them.
Half of the Hezbollah men were either dead or deserting the area with the rest fighting from hangars.
The Mercs also experienced some casualties, with at least 5 men being swatted by wild fire from either Hezbollah positions or American positions.
It was a chaotic nightmare for everyone, and things went wrong real fast.
