Slamming the West's 'hypocrisy'
Iran’s Foreign Minister has sharply criticized France and other Western nations over what he described as double standards on human rights and international law. In a social media post on X, Abbas Araghchi said countries like France should stop lecturing the world about human rights and international law, calling the hypocrisy “blatant and embarrassing.” He said France’s support for genocide in Gaza and its backing of the war against Iran had destroyed whatever moral high ground France imagined it had. The comments come amid growing criticism of European countries’ support for Israel’s aggression in West Asia and their responses to destabilizing US actions in the region.
Suicide among US Marines
A group of US Democratic senators demands answers into conditions aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln, amid reports of a mental health crisis and food shortages during the aircraft carrier’s deployment. Senator Richard Blumenthal called on the Navy to explain why the carrier has been deployed for more than 250 days, including over 200 consecutive days without coming ashore. Senator Ruben Gallego called for a bipartisan Senate oversight visit, citing reports of moldy showers, sporadic hot water, broken toilets, rationed meals and grueling 12- to 16-hour shifts. Families of the roughly 5,000 sailors and Marines aboard the carrier have also raised concerns over severe mental health problems and attempted suicides. According to the latest reports, the sailors aboard the carrier are facing an intensifying mental health crisis. The reports say there have been multiple suicide attempts by sailors who tried to jump overboard as deteriorating conditions and mounting psychological stress aboard the carrier approach a breaking point. The Lincoln was rerouted to the West Asia before US-Israeli attacks on Iran began on February 28. It is currently stationed in the Indian Ocean to enforce a naval blockade on Iran.
