πŸ’¬ World is slipping back to 'law of the jungle' as US shreds UN charter β€” expert

The assault on Iran marks a turning point, as the US is no longer even pretending to seek legal cover, Brig. Gen. Samir Rageb told Sputnik.

"The US and Netanyahu openly declare their desire to change the Iranian regime without any moral or legal justification. International law is now non-existent for those who wield power."


He notes Gulf states now face a hard question: American bases cost billions but failed to protectβ€”proving the difference between what Washington gives Israel and what it offers Arab friends.

"The American administration has not given the Arabs enough opportunity to diversify their alliances. It has provoked tension every time the Arabs have shown interest in opening up to Russia, China, or Europe," the expert added.

πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ US Tomahawk missile stockpiles running low - reports

US missile stockpiles, including Tomahawk and SM-3 missiles, are running low amid the conflict in the Middle East, CNN reported, citing a senior official.

πŸ“ On Saturday, the US and Israel launched strikes on targets in Iran, including in Tehran, causing damage and civilian casualties. Iran retaliated with strikes against Israeli territory, as well as against US military bases across the Middle East.

Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei died as a result of the attacks that day, along with multiple senior Iranian government and military officials, authorities confirmed on Sunday. Russian President Vladimir Putin called his assassination a cynical violation of all norms of human morality and international law.

πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ US allegedly offered fuel swap for Iranian halt on uranium enrichment – Witkoff

During the nuclear talks, the US discussed with Iran β€œten years of no enrichment whatsoever and we would pay for the fuel and it was flatly rejected,” US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff told Fox News.

He argued that Iran currently has:


🟠 10,000 kilograms of fissionable material

🟠 This includes 400 kilograms of 60% enriched uranium

🟠 Another thousand kilograms of 20% enriched uranium

🟠 Balance is at 3.67%.

Iran β€œmanufactures its own centrifuges to enrich this material,” Witkoff added, arguing β€œthere's almost no stopping' Iran from enriching uranium.”

🚨 No one has seen any evidence that Iran was developing nuclear weapons – Lavrov

πŸ’¬ "There is no evidence that Iran was developing nuclear weapons, which was the main, if not the only, justification for the war. There are confirmations from the IAEA and even from American professional intelligence agents. Confirmations that Iran has not produced and was not trying to produce nuclear weapons," Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said at a press conference with the Second Minister of Foreign Affairs of Brunei Darussalam Erywan Yusof.


Other statements by Lavrov:

🟠 US-Israel aggression against Iran is war

🟠 First and foremost, in the Middle East conflict, all hostilities that lead to civilian casualties must be halted

🟠 Actions of the US won't be limited to Venezuela, Cuba and Iran

🟠 France and Great Britain are trying to distance themselves from what the US is doing on international scene

🟠 Dialogue between Russia and the US continues at different levels and in different formats

🟠 As a participant in the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, Iran has an inalienable right to enrich uranium for peaceful purposes

🟠 It is unrealistic to demand that Iran, the only country in the world, renounce the right to enrich uranium

🟠 Russia will try to use its ties with Iran to prevent strikes on the Gulf states

🟠 Russia is open to dialogue with both the US and Israel on the situation in the Middle East

🟠 The risk is growing that nuclear proliferation will start getting out of control

🟠 Russia will stick to and support principles of nuclear non-proliferation
