UN Secretary-General Guterres:
Look around Syria. You have Israel still bombarding Gaza. You have Lebanon where military operations are still taking place, even if there were important negotiations in Washington.
You have the Americans bombarding Iran, and Israel is bombarding Lebanon, and simultaneously you have the Iranians bombarding all the countries of the region.
And in the middle of this mess, Syria remains a symbol of stability. That is one more reason for the international community to support Syria.

💢 NEW: Iran’s IRGC says it struck a U.S. base in Jordan, destroying a THAAD missile-defense radar, a Patriot system and a C-RAM radar, while setting the base’s fuel tanks on fire.
It also claimed a large helicopter-equipment warehouse and a helicopter maintenance hangar were burned and destroyed.
Addressing the Jordanian public, the IRGC rejected claims that the strikes violate Jordanian sovereignty, saying: “We are attacking lands occupied by the U.S. military.”
Citing the 168 Iranian schoolchildren it says were killed in a U.S. strike on Minab, the IRGC added: “It is our legal, religious, and logical right to target those who attack our country and kill our children, wherever they launch their attacks from.”

The February 2025 order sanctions ICC officials and anyone deemed to have materially assisted investigations of the US or its allies, and prohibits providing services to sanctioned parties.
Because it was issued under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, willful violations carry criminal penalties of up to 20 years.

Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital spokesperson Khalil al-Daqran says 43% of kidney failure patients in Gaza have died since the war began, as Israel-imposed deliberate shortages of medicines and medical supplies cripple dialysis care.
Around half of the equipment needed to operate Gaza’s dialysis units is now out of service, further threatening patients who depend on regular treatment, al-Daqran said.
