A new report by the watchdog group UN Watch lays exposes the double standard at the United Nations, showing how experts who routinely attack Israel have largely ignored the Islamist regime’s repression and support for terrorism in Iran.
The official confirmed the deaths of thousands in the protests and accused “Israel and armed organizations from abroad” of sending protesters into the streets.
Brutal repression, isolation from the outside world and a sustained campaign to smear protesters have, for now, halted demonstrations. Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei accused the US and lashed out at President Donald Trump, while Washington spoke of “understandings.” Conflicting reports persist over the scale of the killing and the protests, amid assessments that the calm may prove temporary.
Tensions between the US and Iran have eased following diplomatic efforts that included direct talks between Tehran and Washington, the Financial Times reports. While gulf states led by Saudi Arabia pressed President Trump to avoid a strike, the military option remains on the table: “Trump is ready to pull the trigger.”
Iran's ambassador to Pakistan said Trump communicated his decision at 1 a.m. and requested that Tehran show restraint. US troops return to Qatar base. Revolutionary Guards – equipped with armored vehicles and machine guns – reportedly deployed to city centers.
Advisers reportedly struggle to guarantee quick victory while president insists on avoiding prolonged conflict. While acknowledging the high death toll, he expressed reservations about Reza Pahlavi, the son of the late shah. "He seems very nice, but I don't know how he'd play within his own country."
