CHALDEAN DIGEST PHOTO BY SYRIAC PRESS The aftermath of the strikes that killed Karam Mikhail and Peshraw Dizayee. Chaldean–Syriac–Assyrian businessman Karam Mikhail killed in Iranian missile attack on Erbil The ongoing conflict in the Middle East suffered an escalation recently as Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) launched ballistic missiles targeting a residential area of Erbil, Kurdistan Region of Iraq (KRI). The regional security council reports that at least four perished and six were injured in the eight blasts that rocked the area. One of those killed was Chaldean– Syriac–Assyrian businessman Karam Mikhail, who was visiting the home of Kurdish multimillionaire Peshraw Dizayee, also killed in the attack. In the aftermath of the attacks, Iraq recalled its ambassador from Tehran for consultations and summoned Iran’s charge d’affaires in Baghdad. The United States, condemning the strikes, added its voice to the growing international chorus expressing concern over the escalating situation. The Iraqi government condemned what they call Iranian “aggression” in Erbil and is considering filing a complaint with the United Nations Security Council. Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson, Nasser Kanaani, defended the missile strikes, stating that Tehran respected the sovereignty and territorial integrity of other countries but was exercising its “legitimate and legal right to deter national security threats.” The world is watching to see what happens next. – Syriac Press Newly Launched News Channel in Iraq Preserves Syriac A newly launched television channel, Al-Syriania, aims to preserve the Syriac language. With funding from the Iraqi government, the new channel hopes to strengthen community connections of language and culture. It is a sister station of Al-Iraqiya, an Arabic television network that was set up after the fall of the Saddam Hussein regime. Based in Baghdad, the new channel has about 40 staff members. It can be viewed throughout Iraq and through satellite networks such as NilesSat and Arab- Sat. The news bulletins for the new channel are read in classical Syriac, but many of the other programs — which include cinema, art, history, cultural events and music — are presented in a dialect of the language. “We have daily segments, like news and morning shows, and also, documentary programs about the history of the church and historical sites,” said Jack Anwia, the station director. “We also play classical Syriac songs and music, the top-100 movies, and we have correspondents reporting from the field.” — Sara Hassan, Theworld.org Presenters chat with each other on the Al-Syriania broadcast set at the station’s headquarters in Baghdad, Iraq, Aug. 27, 2023.
