I am gravely alarmed by the use of force by the United States against Iran today. This is a dangerous escalation in a region already on the edge – and a direct threat to international peace and security.   There is a growing risk that this conflict could rapidly get out of

BIG: High-ranking Iranian source tells Amwaj.media that Trump team gave advance notice of bombings of nuclear sites and insisted they're intended as "one-off". Signs of Trump seeking repeat of Jan 2020 (Soleimani killing=>symbolic Iranian retaliation). amwaj.media/en/media-monit…

By the way, the US striking Iran’s nuclear facilities and infrastructure gives Russia the green light to strike Ukraine’s nuclear facilities & infrastructure. This is another reason it’s forbidden under international law. Trump is escalating danger everywhere.

"Belarusian prisons change people so much that our daughter didn’t immediately recognize Siarhei yesterday. She had to hear, ‘I’m your dad.’ There was a sea of tears”, says Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya during her press conference with Siarhei Tsikhanouski.

For the record: A war of aggression against Iran, in violation of the UN Charter and basic tenets of international law, and in the absence of any imminent threat or concrete evidence from international inspection bodies and intelligence agencies of the existence of an Iranian

Israel wages war for “self-defence”.Nuclear Israel/US attack Iran to stop it making nuclear weapons it wasn’t making.Europeans call for diplomacy without condemning the attack that killed it.Russia opposes the violation of int law, while doing far worse. As Orwellian as it gets

The key military issue now must be what happens with the enriched uranium that 🇮🇷 has. It doesn’t just evaporate because the facilities are bombed. A reasonable assumption is that 🇮🇷 will try to preserve and protect it. Now they are in all probability finally contemplating a

More terrible news: Twenty killed in suicide bombing at Damascus church, a sharp reminder if it was ever needed of the vulnerability of the most vulnerable. Deeply saddened for all Syrian friends and others who are working so hard to build a better present, a better future, one

A message from Bernie Sanders.

Anybody who grew up or lives in New York can identify the New York in Zohran. His campaign was powered by a profound authenticity, an irrepressible love and respect for the city. He also carries with him a set of political, cosmopolitan values that connects three continents. In
