๐Ÿ’ฌ World is slipping back to 'law of the jungle' as US shreds UN charter โ€” 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 protectโ€”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.

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ 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.

๐Ÿ“ 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.

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ US allegedly offered fuel swap for Iranian halt on uranium enrichment โ€“ Witkoff

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

He argued that Iran currently has:


๐ŸŸ  10,000 kilograms of fissionable material

๐ŸŸ  This includes 400 kilograms of 60% enriched uranium

๐ŸŸ  Another thousand kilograms of 20% enriched uranium

๐ŸŸ  Balance is at 3.67%.

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

๐Ÿšจ USโ€“Israeli strikes on Iran: Latest updates

๐ŸŸ  Russian President Putin had a phone conversation with the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, discussing US and Israeli aggression against Iran, the Kremlin said.

๐ŸŸ  Iran strikes 60 strategic targets and 500 military sites of the US and Israel, launching over 700 drones and hundreds of missiles in two days, according to the IRGC.

๐ŸŸ  In the 12th wave of the Truthful Promise-4 operation, the US base Arifjan in Kuwait was hit by 12 drones in two stages, IRGC said.

๐ŸŸ  IRGC also reported on the destruction of the main command building and headquarters at the US airbase in Bahrain.

๐ŸŸ  A fire broke out at the US Embassy in Riyadh following an Iranian strike.

๐ŸŸ  Israeli Air Force launched a powerful strike on two buildings in the Hadath area in the southern suburbs of Beirut.

๐ŸŸ  Thousands took part in a mourning procession in Iran in memory of the victims of the attack on a school in Minab.

๐ŸŸ  The US military base in Erbil, Iraq, was struck by drones, reports Tasnim, citing sources.

๐ŸŸ  The US will close its embassy in Kuwait until further notice, the diplomatic mission reported

๐Ÿšจ No one has seen any evidence that Iran was developing nuclear weapons โ€“ Lavrov

๐Ÿ’ฌ "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:

๐ŸŸ  US-Israel aggression against Iran is war

๐ŸŸ  First and foremost, in the Middle East conflict, all hostilities that lead to civilian casualties must be halted

๐ŸŸ  Actions of the US won't be limited to Venezuela, Cuba and Iran

๐ŸŸ  France and Great Britain are trying to distance themselves from what the US is doing on international scene

๐ŸŸ  Dialogue between Russia and the US continues at different levels and in different formats

๐ŸŸ  As a participant in the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, Iran has an inalienable right to enrich uranium for peaceful purposes

๐ŸŸ  It is unrealistic to demand that Iran, the only country in the world, renounce the right to enrich uranium

๐ŸŸ  Russia will try to use its ties with Iran to prevent strikes on the Gulf states

๐ŸŸ  Russia is open to dialogue with both the US and Israel on the situation in the Middle East

๐ŸŸ  The risk is growing that nuclear proliferation will start getting out of control

๐ŸŸ  Russia will stick to and support principles of nuclear non-proliferation

๐Ÿšจ US actions won't be limited to Venezuela, Cuba and Iran - Lavrov

๐Ÿ’ฌ "[US Secretary of State Marco] Rubio, responding to a reporter's question, recently suggested that the United States would govern Iran in the same way they announced they would govern Venezuela. Now a similar scheme is being tried on for Cuba. And, probably, this is not the end," Lavrov told reporters after talks with Second Minister of Foreign Affairs of the State of Brunei Darusalam Erywan Yusof.
