The US is breaching the interim peace deal with Iran by allowing Israeli forces to maintain their occupation of the neighboring country, Mohammad Marandi says Israel’s military presence in southern Lebanon reflects its broader territorial ambitions and shows that the US is failing to uphold its commitments under the interim peace deal with Iran, Tehran-based Professor Seyed Mohammad Marandi told RT. Iran and the US reached a tentative agreement earlier this month. Tehran demanded that Israel withdraw from southern Lebanon. Last week, West Jerusalem and the Lebanese government signed a US-brokered deal for the gradual withdrawal of Israeli forces pending Hezbollah’s disarmament. Both Washington and Tehran have offered conflicting interpretations of the deal in recent days, exchanging strikes on Friday and accusing each other of violating its terms. Hezbollah rejected the Israel-Lebanon agreement...

The EU’s latest moves targeting Ukrainian male refugees show Kiev’s position is worse than advertised, Sonja van den Ende has told RT Western media and politicians are misleading the public by hyping Kiev’s attacks on Russia while ignoring the devastating losses suffered by Ukrainian forces, independent Dutch journalist Sonja van den Ende has told RT. In an interview on Sunday, van den Ende argued that while headlines are dominated by Ukrainian strikes on Russian fuel refineries, which are presented as signs of Moscow’s weakness, there is little coverage of Kiev’s military casualties. “About 2 million dead soldiers or dead servicemen from Ukraine. So this is not, this is not really headlines,” she stated, emphasizing that such figures are buried deep in articles if mentioned at all by Western outlets. Read more ...
Warsaw is inclined to drop a trillion-euro demand in exchange for annual payments to dying WWII survivors, Suddeutsche Zeitung has reported Poland has scaled back its long-standing reparations campaign against Germany and is now seeking annual payments of around €2,333 ($2,660) for each living victim of Nazi persecution instead of the €1.3 trillion it once demanded, Suddeutsche Zeitung reported on Sunday.

In 2022, the Polish government, led by the right-wing Law and Justice party, demanded €1.3 trillion in war reparations. Berlin vehemently rejected the demand as “legally resolved once and for all,” arguing that Poland’s communist-era government waived further claims in 19...

The US President has urged the Senate to “immediately” confirm Oklahoma law enforcement veteran Lance Schroyer as the agency’s director US President Donald Trump has nominated Oklahoma law enforcement veteran Lance Schroyer to lead US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), an agency at the center of the administration’s controversial crackdown on immigrants. If confirmed, he would become ICE’s first permanent director in nearly a decade. In a social media post on Saturday, Trump urged lawmakers to act quickly. “The Senate must CONFIRM Lance, IMMEDIATELY – Do not delay.” He went on to describe Schroyer as a former Oklahoma state trooper and Marine who has “what it takes to DETAIN AND DEPORT Illegal Alien Criminals... at a rate never seen before.” A sweeping immigration enforcement campaign launched by Trump shortly after taking office has led to thousands of ar...
Half a century after Ebola first emerged, its horror still dominates headlines – even as less spectacular viruses may pose a greater danger Reports of a new pandemic seem to appear every month, as journalists and international organizations sound the alarm about each new disease. These days, of course, everyone is worried about the new Ebola outbreak. The virus is spreading rapidly, and many people have died.
