Slamming US 'war crimes'
Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps says Tuesday’s US attack on a wedding ceremony in southern Iran was deliberate, accusing Washington of having a history of carrying out similar strikes. In a statement, the IRGC said the latest example was the US strike on a wedding ceremony in Sirik, in southern Iran, earlier this week. It described the incident as a war crime, saying the direct airstrike turned a joyful celebration into mourning. The IRGC said the attack killed four people and injured scores of others. It also accused US leaders of resorting to what it called lies instead of offering an apology or accepting responsibility for the incident. According to the statement, US officials should answer to world public opinion over what the IRGC described as a record of attacks on wedding ceremonies in different countries, rather than denying responsibility.
Gaza 'ethnic cleansing' plan
Israel’s minister for military affairs admits that the regime is seeking to remove Palestinians from the Gaza Strip. Israel Katz said de-populating Gaza remains the only solution. He said the plan is only frozen and has not been cancelled. The remarks are in contradiction to the 12-point ceasefire agreement signed between Hamas and Tel Aviv that says “No one will be forced to leave Gaza, and those who wish to leave will be free to do so and free to return.” Palestinian rights advocates have argued for nearly three years that the ultimate goal of Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza is to ethnically cleanse the Palestinian territory. Some far-right Israeli officials have previously openly called for depopulating Gaza, and Trump backed the idea early in his presidency, saying that the United States would take over the enclave and “own” the territory once Palestinians are removed.
Nepal-Tibet flooding
The death toll from last month’s massive flash flooding along the Nepal-Tibet border has topped 12 hundred. At least 1,243 people have died in Nepal, and more than 4,200 more are missing. On the Tibetan side, the death toll is 21, with more than 540 people unaccounted for. Efforts are continuing to rescue workers, potentially in the hundreds, believed to be trapped in Nepalese hydropower tunnels. On August 26, a massive flash flood, believed to have been triggered by a glacial collapse, swept through a Himalayan valley, wiping out villages. Thousands of displaced people remain in shelters, raising concerns over the delivery of relief supplies and the spread of infectious diseases.
