Trump Administration Blocks #Iran’s Top Diplomat From Addressing the U.N. Security Council

Me:
Too bad for MSM who sought to once again provide @JZarif airtime to spread the mullahs' propaganda.
foreignpolicy.com/2020/01/06/tru…
@JZarif Reminder:
July 31, 2019
U.S. Treasury Dept. added @JZarif to the list of "Specially Designated Nationals."
Zarif is also subject to secondary sanctions.
treasury.gov/resource-cente…
@JZarif Reminder:
@JZarif has close relations with terrorists such as Qassem Suleimani (now dead), the IRGC, Hezbollah & Syrian dictator Bashar Assad.
@JZarif Reminder:
@JZarif is also a member of Iran’s “Supreme National Security Council,” the body that decides on all of the regime’s foreign terrorist plots.
This makes Zarif an accomplice in all of the regime’s terrorism activities.

1)
 The regime in Iran, humiliated after Soleimani’s death, launched missiles on Iraqi military bases housing U.S. troops in a desperate attempt to save face.

All the while, Tehran knows provoking Trump is dangerous.

This is Khamenei’s status quo.
2)
 Iran’s military brass is weeping after the loss of Soleimani.

Me:
Good.
3)
 Iran vowed a response to Soliemani’s death.

IRGC launched missiles targeting Iraqi military sites home to U.S. forces.

U.S. military officials reported no casualties & Trump, after being briefed, tweeted “all is well!”

There are even reports Iran mistarteged intentionally.

O que era ação de guerra contra o Irã, agora passa a ser tb uma ação contra o sistema da ONU.
Ofensa deliberada não só em nível bélico mas tb em nível legal supranacional.
Escalada imponderada de autoritarismo.
Atentado contra os valores democráticos dos Estados Unidos.

1/8 Donald Trump has just unilaterally committed an act of war without the approval of Congress. Not even the Gang of 8 was informed.

2/8 Make no mistake. General Qassem Soleimani was an evil man responsible for the death of thousands, from employing sophisticated IEDs used against American troops to recent murdering of Iraqi protesters.

The Shadow Commander: newyorker.com/magazine/2013/…
3/8 None-the-less, this is an act of war, the assassination of a powerful foreign leader, the second most powerful man in Iran, at a time when Trump has just been impeached and is facing trial while ALSO up for re-election.

#Breaking Turkey announces the start of its operation in the territory currently currently by the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces
#Breaking

In a phone call, Russian president Putin urges Turkish president Erdogan to “assess the situation carefully” so that the Turkish operation does not hurt “peace efforts” in Syria (the Astana process).
The Turkish invasion, dubbed “Spring of Peace”, will likely be in stages over several months.

Probably a play on the word for one of the two towns, with large Arab population, that the operation might start with — Ras al-Ayn (Serê Kaniyê).
