US-Israeli Iran aggression

Iran’s foreign minister Abbas Araghchi says the US-Israeli strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities during the 12-day war of aggression were the biggest violation of international law. Speaking in a live interview, he added that the attacks also constituted an absolutely unforgivable violation in international relations. Araghchi criticized the International Atomic Energy Agency and its director general for refusing to even condemn the strikes. Iran's top diplomat said the IAEA and its chief should know that conditions have changed on the ground and a new chapter has been opened in Iran's relations with the agency. He also touched upon possible nuclear negotiations with the US. Araghchi said no definitive decision has been made on the issue yet, but messages have been received from the opposite side. He stressed that whether talks would take place in the near or distant future, depends entirely on what Iran’s national interests dictate. Araghchi said the Islamic Republic has not and will never compromise on the rights of the Iranian people.

Gaza genocide raging 

The US-Israeli genocide in Gaza continues unabated, claiming more civilians lives across the blockaded territory. In one of the latest attacks, an entire family was killed in the bombardment of tents for displaced Palestinians near Deir al-Balah, central Gaza. A similar strike killed a number of people in Khan Yunis, southern Gaza. A mother and her daughter were among the fatalities. Israeli forces also continued to massacre starving Palestinians seeking aid in several parts of the territory, killing nearly two dozen people on Wednesday. Acute hunger and severe malnutrition are also taking their toll on Gaza residents. A child in Beit Hanoun, northern Gaza was the latest victim of Israeli ban on entry of food and essential supplies into Gaza. This brings the total number of starvation-related fatalities to 140, including nearly 100 children. The US-Israeli genocide, which began in October 20-23, has so far killed more than 61,100 Palestinians, leaving over 151,400 others injured.

Israel global isolation 

Slovenia has announced a ban on imports of goods from Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, as tensions between the Balkan country and the occupying regime continue to rise.The Slovenian government said the decision was prompted by Israel’s actions that constitute serious and repeated violations of international humanitarian law. It cited continued construction of settlements, expropriations, and the forced evictions of the Palestinian population as examples of Israel’s violations. Slovenia's Foreign Minister Tanja Fajon said although the move is largely symbolic, it is a necessary response to the ongoing humanitarian and security situation in Gaza. Slovenia is also considering a ban on exports of goods from its territory to Israeli settlements. Earlier in July, Slovenia became the first EU country to ban two far-right Israeli ministers from entering the country. It also recognized Palestinian statehood in June 2024, following in the steps of Ireland, Norway and Spain.
