Russia case against Facebook Instagram
The online video sharing platform YouTube says it is blocking access, globally to media funded by the Russian government. The American platform says the decision is in line with its policy of barring content that denies, minimizes or trivializes violent events. Earlier this month, YouTube also blocked leading Russian channels RT and Sputnik, across Europe amid Russia’s military operation on Ukraine. Meanwhile the American company Meta, which owns Facebook and Instagram, says it is allowing posts that call for violence against Russian forces. In response Moscow says it is restricting access to Instagram and has launched criminal proceedings against its parent company. The United Nations has also warned that the anti-Moscow move could spark hate speech against Russians.
“War no solution to Ukraine crisis”
Iran’s foreign minister reiterates the Islamic Republic’s stance regarding the Russia-Ukraine conflict. And that is ending the conflict through a political resolution. Hossein Amir Abdollahian says war is not a solution in Ukraine, just as in Yemen, Afghanistan or anywhere else. He made the remarks in a phone conversation with his Polish counterpart Zbigniev Rao. The Iranian top diplomat also thanked the Polish government for its assistance to refugees of the Ukrainian conflict, especially the Iranian citizens. Amir Abdollahian said Iran is prepared to send humanitarian aid to refugees in Poland. The polish diplomat welcomed the offer. He called on the international community to send more humanitarian aid to Ukraine and its neighboring countries.
Israel terror attack in Syria
Iran says it reserves the right to respond to the Israeli terrorist attack that killed two military advisors in Syria. The Iranian mission to the United Nations says the attack was highly provocative, and aimed at increasing tensions. In a letter to the Security Council, the mission seriously warned Israel against taking further adventurist and malevolent measures. The mission also described the attack as a criminal act that violates international law and the United Nations Charter. It called on the international community to firmly condemn such actions and hold Israel accountable. On March 7, the regime launched airstrikes at a site near the Syrian capital Damascus. They killed two members of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps who were in Syria on an advisory role.
