‘Int’l. law under assault’
Iran’s foreign minister has called for a return to international law and prohibition of the use of force and aggression, in a world where US violations are threatening those values. Abbas Araghchi says the world is facing a choice between a discourse of hegemony and militarism, on the one side, and an inclusive discourse of dialogue and peace, on the other side. Araghchi made the comments in an address to a conference in Tehran dubbed International Law under Assault. He said the developments in West Asia, including the recent US and Israeli aggression against Iran, are clear indication of the dangerous hegemonic approach pursued by the US and its allies. Iran’s top diplomat said Israel has attacked seven regional countries over the past two years and committed the most heinous crimes. That, he said, has become possible by the unconditional support and impunity it’s getting from the US and other Western governments. Araghchi warned that if such illegal behavior and use of naked force are not put in check, everyone in the region will face more bitter circumstances in the future.
Targeting Israeli criminals
The pro-Palestinian hacking group Handala has published the confidential details of more people involved in Israel’s genocide of Palestinians in Gaza. The names and details are part of yet another announcement by Handala on what it calls the Saturday RedWanted list. The new leaked information focuses on nine operatives of Israel’s Shabak security agency. Handala warned Shabak members that they will not be safe as long as its hackers are watching. The group had earlier also published top-secret details of individuals from the Israeli Atomic Energy Organization, Weizmann military research institute and the regime’s military, among others. Handala has been warning that the individuals face imminent punishment for their crimes.
US-Venezuela tensions
Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro has denounced the recent US military exercises in the Caribbean, labeling them as irresponsible. Maduro described the start of five days of joint US-Trinidad and Tobago military drills as a direct provocation and a threat to Venezuela's sovereignty. He accused Washington of using the fight against drug trafficking as a pretext for a "criminal war" to overthrow his government. While Trinidad's government denies the drills are a precursor to any attack, the US has amassed significant naval power in the region. This marks the second US military exercise in less than a month, following Caracas's announcement of a massive retaliatory military deployment. The US military activities in the Caribbean have heightened concerns of a potential escalation of conflict, pitting US firepower against Venezuelan defiance.
