ICC Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan says he, fellow ICC judges, and UN officials faced direct threats, including his family, over Israel-related cases.
Khan said 12 US senators sent him a letter stating:
If you target Israel, we will target you and your family. You have been warned.
The threats were followed by action — sanctions, frozen bank accounts, and travel restrictions.
He called the use of state power to coerce international justice institutions "deeply dangerous."
Our bases in the Middle East are strategic liabilities not strategic assets.
Less bases = less targets for Iran to shoot at and that = less leverage for Iran.
Iran's Foreign Ministry has "strongly condemned the airstrikes carried out by the #US terrorist forces on Friday, June 6," accusing Washington of committing a "flagrant violation of Paragraph 4 of Article 2 of the United Nations Charter, as well as an explicit violation of Paragraph 1 of the Memorandum of Understanding."
The ministry also said that the Israeli attacks on #Lebanon, carried out "in coordination with the United States," constituted another violation of the MoU's first clause.
Stressing that #Iran's response was carried out under its "inherent right to self-defense under Article 51 of the UN Charter," Iran declared that it "will defend the country's sovereignty, security, and national interests with all its might," while asserting that responsibility for the consequences rests with the "aggressor and treaty-breaching US regime and with those parties that, in any way, collude in the United States’ aggressive actions against Iran."
Iran also called on the United Nations and the Security Council to take a "firm stance against the flagrant violation by the United States of the fundamental principles and rules of the United Nations Charter and international law, and to fulfill their legal and moral responsibilities toward regional and international peace and security."
🔷 Mohsen Rezaei, senior military adviser to Iran’s Supreme Leader said Iran intends to collect fees from ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz.
The former Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps commander for 16 years told News Nation:
➤ “Our current discussion is about service costs,” citing security, environmental protection, and insurance for ships.
➤ “These costs cannot come out of the pockets of the Iranian people. These costs must be collected from those who are transporting oil through this strait.”
➤ “We have shown for 47 years that the Strait of Hormuz is open. But after the prolonged wars waged against us, we can no longer simply carry on as before.”
A study done on 361,645 job applications in almost 30 countries over the last 40 years discovered the hiring bias in society is actually against MEN, not women.
Stubb discusses the need kill Russian soldiers to end the war. He does not mention that the NATO countries have blocked all peace agreements and the Europeans have boycotted diplomacy for more than 4 years. The goal is not peace, but using Ukrainians to weaken Russia. Future generations will condemn these warmongers for the disaster they are leading us into.
First Albania, then Italy, the Philippines, and now Lebanon.
The Lebanese are rightfully opposing their treacherous government for signing an illegal deal with Israel, a violation of article 52 of their constitution, which opposes negotiations with Israel.
The Lebanese military has responded by beating their own citizens! The pentagon now seeks to reward the treasonous Lebanese army with over $30 million to defend Israel’s illegal occupation of Lebanon.
⚠️ “BIBI NEEDS WAR, WAR, AND WAR.”
Robert Barnes (@barnes_law) lays out the claim that Netanyahu is keeping the Iran war and Lebanon front alive to delay his corruption trial.
The deal signed in Washington DC between Lebanon, Israel, and the United States today — without including Iran, or Hezbollah in the negotiations — gives more credence to the argument that Israel is trying to sabotage Trump's MOU.
He says the ongoing multi front war that Israel is waging is “the only reason he hasn’t been convicted yet… the only reason he hasn’t been removed yet… the only reason he’s not in jail yet.”
Barnes adds that the “Bibi Files” show “it was Bibi Netanyahu funding Hamas,” not Iran — a revelation with massive implications for U.S. strategy and the Middle East conflict.
And he warns that the moment the Iran war ends, “the trial restarts… almost immediately,” pushing Netanyahu toward a verdict and likely jail sentence.
This raises a stark question: is one man sabotaging the Iran deal to save himself?
👉 Watch the full clip — the stakes for the Iran war and U.S. strategy are enormous.

🇱🇧 RIGHT NOW 🚨Lebanon's traitor army attacks their own people than ever fire a bullet at Israel.
It seems the people want the fall of the regime and traitors to hang from every pole.
Rent control and price caps on housing seem obvious, but they harm the very people they aim to help. The 'greedy landlord' narrative ignores the small property owners who are vital to communities. #Housing#Economics#SmallBusiness
🚨BREAKING: The Lebanese Army Is Attacking Its Own People In Beirut
This was ordered by the government that is being protested because it recognised Israel.
For 3 months that army has been running away from Israel & refused to fire 1 bullet in defence of the country.
Shia Islam is humanity's biggest inspiration at this moment in time. Allow yourself to be inspired; these people are standing proud and resisting successfully perhaps the most brutal, vicious and totalitarian oppressive machine in history. This is grand, and epic
The Public Relations Department of the IRGC said that it responded to US breaches of the ceasefire by striking US naval assets.
The United States violated its commitments following breaches of a ceasefire in southern Lebanon and attacks on Iran, a statement explained.
The IRGC added that, in response to US aggression, its naval forces targeted US military positions in the region and struck their sites.
It stressed that under the fifth clause of the relevant understanding, maritime navigation arrangements in the Strait of Hormuz must be coordinated with the Islamic Republic of Iran.
The statement said the United States attempted, through the mobilization of various actors, to undermine these commitments but received an appropriate response. It further warned that any repetition of such actions would be met with a broader response in the future.
