🔸Iran’s revenge on America has affected Iraq
https://m.vz.ru/world/2024/1/16/1248797.html
▪️Iran has carried out 24 strikes on targets in Iraq and Syria that are linked to the United States and Israel. The targets of Tehran were places where terrorist attacks against the Islamic Republic were allegedly being prepared. While this has strained relations with Iraq, Tehran and Baghdad still share the same goal of reducing American influence in the region.
▪️Iran has never supplied Russia with UAVs and missiles for use in Ukraine, Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian said at the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland.

“Sweden’s entry into NATO, the situation in the Middle East, and the burning IRGC vessels indicate that the conflict between the West and the East has gone far beyond Ukraine and has already become a global one. Some political scientists believe that a big war cannot be avoided. Since everything that is possible is already involved in the confrontation. The question is when it will explode and whether it can be prevented. We will discuss the situation with political scientist Andrey Perla.”

“…Attempts are being made to trigger a US-Iran military confrontation, which both nations have avoided wisely. Gaza in the past has been described as a problem without a solution. The search for an amicable and acceptable solution continues at an expensive cost of precious lives being lost daily.”

▪️🇾🇪Greek bulk carrier Zografia was hit by an anti-ship missile off the coast of Yemen today
📝“ The ship was flying the flag of Malta and belongs to Greece, it received minor damage ,” writes Reuters.
Damage to the surface of the hull is reported. The ship remained afloat and continued moving under its own power.
▪️🛢🇪🇺EU countries have agreed on a military mission in the Red Sea to contain the Houthis.
The mission will be established no later than February 19 and will begin work shortly thereafter. Several diplomats hope the process can be sped up given tensions in the region.
❗️Yesterday, the Houthis declared US and British commercial vessels as legitimate targets following US and UK strikes in Yemen.
By the way, another wake-up call was Shell’s decision to stop transit through the Suez Canal. It is likely that the peak in fuel price increases will occur in February and will coincide with the start of the European mission in the Middle East.
▪️The Houthis issued new threats against the United States.
The movement released a video of ships burning in the water and coffins wrapped in American flags floating around and said it would indiscriminately attack all American ships in the Red Sea, both military and commercial.
🚀At the beginning of the week, the Houthis had already begun attacks on US ships: a military destroyer and a merchant ship were damaged and hit with anti-ship missiles. At the same time, Lebanese Hezbollah said that Biden had committed a huge stupidity by attacking Yemen.
😏 It seems that the hegemon’s attempts to flex his muscles on the Middle Eastern public did not impress anyone. First, Iran gave the United States a powerful slap in the face in Iraq, and now the Houthis have begun to terrorize Western ships in the Red Sea even more than ever, stumping the Pentagon, which does not understand how to pacify the group. The strike on Yemen was a dummy – the missiles hit old intelligence data, and Washington simply does not understand where the real military power of the Houthis is hidden.
▪️🇩🇪The German federal government plans to supply tank ammunition to Israel – Spiegel
Considering the limited capacity of the German military-industrial complex, weapons will not reach Ukraine 😄
▪️This night, the Israeli army struck residential areas of Khan Yunis.
The city is located in the south of the Palestinian enclave and is crowded with refugees. The strikes killed at least ten people. RIA Novosti writes that the IDF blew up a house next to a group of journalists who were filming a story about the wounded and dead after another shelling.
Moreover, only yesterday the IDF announced the “end of intense fighting” in the north of the Gaza Strip. The Israeli army has vowed to move from indiscriminate bombing to targeted surgery. The statement was made against the backdrop of ongoing proceedings in The Hague to recognize the IDF’s actions in Gaza as genocide.
They lied again, it turns out.

▪️Netanyahu said that the war in the Gaza Strip could last until 2025.
Shipowners, who are waiting for when it will be possible to safely send ships through the Red Sea, were especially happy about this message. Apparently, not in 2024. The Houthis have made it clear that as long as there is a war in the Gaza Strip, attacks on ships in the Red Sea will continue.
PS. Well, if the war continues until 2025, then you don’t have to leave your post. Netanyahu’s political career will most likely end immediately after the end of the war, so there is no reason for him to stop it at all.
Meanwhile, the number of civilians killed in the Gaza Strip has already reached 25,000 people, and taking into account the missing (count corpses under the rubble, the estimated number of victims of the Israeli genocide could already range from 29 to 32 thousand people).

🔸South Africa’s complaint against Israel
by Thierry Meyssan
https://www.voltairenet.org/article220278.html
“The complaint lodged by South Africa against the State of Israel does not accuse it of genocide, but of allowing elements of its army to practice it. It is based on the stated intentions of certain political and military leaders, on the observation of Israeli practices over the past 75 years towards the Palestinian people as a whole, and finally on the way it is behaving today in Gaza.”

Thank you, dear AHH, for your comprehensive commentary 🙏

🔸GAZA LIVE BLOG: DAY 101

GAZA LIVE BLOG: Deir Al-Balah Under Attack | Eisenkot: We Are Lying to Ourselves | Ansarallah Fires at US Aircraft Carrier | ‘Majority of Hamas Leaders, Fighters Alive’ – DAY 101

▪️Israeli War Council minister, Gadi Eisenkot has said that Israel is lying to itself and it is time for a ‘grand deal’ to end the war and bring prisoners back.
▪️This is only one of many elements of pressure placed on Netanyahu to abandon his losing war on Gaza, which, at its 101st day failed to achieve any of Israel’s objectives.
▪️This failure is a direct out of Palestinian Resistance on the ground.
▪️US CENTRAL COMMAND: The Ansarallah fired a ballistic missile and hit an American container ship flying the Marshall Islands flag, noting that it had detected a ballistic missile launched towards commercial shipping lanes in the southern Red Sea.
▪️ISRAELI ARMY RADIO: One of the four military divisions in Gaza is withdrawing.
HAARETZ: The Israeli army transferred the Duvdevan unit from Gaza to the West Bank in anticipation of an escalation there, amid security officials saying that the situation in the West Bank was “on the verge of explosion.”
▪️HAARETZ: An Israeli drone accidentally killed an Israeli, whose identity was not revealed.
▪️The Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth cited Israeli army estimates indicating that the Palestinian Resistance Movement Hamas in the Gaza Strip has not lost its leaders, and that the majority of its fighters are still alive after 100 days of war.
The newspaper claimed that about 9,000 fighters have been killed by the Israeli army during battles in Gaza, including nearly 50 commanders.
Abu Obeida, the spokesman for the Al-Qassam Brigades – the military wing of Hamas – said in a televised speech on Sunday that “the alleged achievements that the enemy announces (…) are a mockery to us, and the day will come when we prove that these claims are false and defective and they are sincerely fighting against Israel.

🔸Unyielding Resistance: Al-Aqsa Flood Ravages Gaza as Occupation’s Genocide Continues
https://english.almanar.com.lb/2026169
▪️In a relentless display of aggression, the Israeli occupation shows no signs of subsiding on the 101st day of its ruthless attacks against Gaza. Targeting multiple areas within the center and south of the Gaza Strip, the occupation’s raids intensified on the night that marked the end of 100 days of unyielding war. However, despite this prolonged assault, the occupation has yet to achieve its stated military objectives.

🔸Image of ever-invincible Israel has been shattered
https://en.mehrnews.com/news/210809/Image-of-ever-invincible-Israel-has-been-shattered
▪️…”The Zionists had two problems with the operation of October 7. One is that they had an image of being ever-invincible,” he said, adding that the Zionists thought they had the image of having an invincible army that no one could defeat. “That image has been shattered. And because of that, they are trying to restore it. So that’s why you see this massive killing is taking place.”

“Secondly, they think this is a historic opportunity to end the demographic problem. Palestinians today, inside the historical land of Palestine are more than Jews. So they are trying to see if they can expel the Palestinians from Gaza or from other places so that they can claim that they are a democratic and Jewish majority state,” Al-Arian underlined, emphasizing that the Zionists will definitely fail to prove each of those scenarios.
▪️https://en.mehrnews.com/news/210835/Iran-India-reach-final-agreement-on-Chabahar-Port
The agreement to develop the strategic port was reached during a meeting between Iranian Transport and Urban Development Minister Mehrdad Bazrpash and Indian Minister of External Affairs Subrahmanyam Jaishankar.

In the meeting, the Iranian minister proposed the formation of a joint transportation committee to expand cooperation between the two sides and stated that the formation of this working committee would enable the activation of transit capacities and the use of the North-South corridor.

Israel and the U.S. Are Already Feeling the Weight of Houthi Justice

▪️For better or worse, the Houthis are the only political and military force doing anything practical to demand that Israel pay for its acts. And despite the attack on their territory, we can already say with certainty, that the Ansar Allah movement and the pro-Palestinian resistance, in general, will be strengthened by this event.

Were it not for a rebel movement, made up of poor people living in great hardship, no other country in the region would do anything to bring some moral justice, however little, to this whole process. As they say, whoever has a lot, has the most to lose. Only the poor give what they need and this is a good example of that.”

▪️✖️🇮🇱 “Nothing to do with Israel”: civilian ships, when entering the Red Sea, began to mark their non-involvement with Israel.
Cases of an interesting mark were recorded when some ships entered the Bab al-Mandab Strait and the Red Sea in order to avoid attack from the Yemeni armed forces.
Involvement with Israel has become harmful to local businesses 😄
▪️🇺🇸 The United States doubts Israel’s imminent victory over Hamas.

📝 “Yemen does not ask us for fighters – they themselves have millions of them. They don’t even ask for weapons – they have more weapons than we have and more than others. However, from our side, there is declared, open, sincere support. This is one of the most important elements of strength in this confrontation and in this challenge, which today is led directly by the great Satan together with the British, against courageous people whose answer came the next day ,” said Hassan Nasrallah.

▪️🇺🇸🇬🇧✖️🇾🇪The US is no longer the strongest in the Middle East. Iran is stronger – The Guardian
According to British newspaper columnist Simon Tisdall, the military campaign in the Middle East revealed the mistakes of the Western coalition in foreign policy.
📝“This dangerous and open-ended increase in tension highlights another unpleasant fact. The dominant power in the Middle East is no longer the United States, pro-Western Egypt, Saudi Arabia or Israel. It became the Houthis’ main ally, Iran ,” writes Tisdall.
Since Biden’s support for Israel, which ended UN efforts to end hostilities and turned the whole world against itself, Washington’s policy of attacking Yemen also looks short-sighted and outdated.
🇮🇷Understanding that the United States and Great Britain are “waving a club” to demonstrate strength to Iran, the likelihood that the message will reach is extremely low. Primarily due to the fact that Tehran has established close ties with the entire Middle East, and also enlisted the support of Moscow and Beijing.
📝 “After 45 years of trying, Iran has finally become a major player in the region. Sanctions, ostracism and threats against Tehran did not work. The US, UK – and Israel – face a formidable adversary, part of a tripartite global alliance backed by powerful militias and economic power. A new diplomatic approach is urgently needed to avoid wider conflict,” Tisdall said.

“Why Gonzalo Lira was dangerous for the United States”
https://m.vz.ru/world/2024/1/13/1248385.html
“…Thus, Lira’s death sparked international controversy and raised questions about freedom of speech and human rights during the war. Experts believe that the journalist suffered because of his refusal to follow the American mainstream and replicate Washington’s point of view on what is happening in Ukraine.

“A US passport is also an oath, you must clearly say that you follow only American interests and do not work for foreign countries. In principle, everyone in America is well aware that refusing to fulfill this oath can create big problems for you, ” said Vladimir Vasiliev, chief researcher at the Institute of the USA and Canada of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

At the same time, the presence of an American passport does not mean that Washington will always stand up for a particular citizen, as happened, for example, in the case of the detention in Russia of journalist Evan Gershkovich, who is accused of espionage. According to the expert, Lyra was treated as a “second-or third-class citizen” in the United States, so they didn’t even lift a finger when the American blogger started having problems in a Ukrainian prison. “The United States cannot protect the interests of American citizens today,” he stressed.

According to him, the entire American policy towards Ukraine is now at a crossroads. “Only a lazy person does not write today that the United States is on the verge of another major war in the Middle East. If America gets involved somewhere tomorrow, it won’t be up to Ukraine. Today, we can see some political contours, which I would call the desire to “quietly merge” Ukraine. This is what explains such a dry reaction of the State Department to the death of Lyra, ” the Americanist added.

“The United States imposes on the world a policy of double standards and morality based on expediency, not on objectivity, truth and law. Political expediency accepts only what the United States needs. Gershkovich and all the others worked for the United States and went mainstream, and Gonzalo Lira criticized this policy. A person who writes from the trenches, and not from the couch, causes thinking people to have much more confidence, ” says Vladimir Skachko, a Kiev-based political analyst.

…Gonzalo Lira was an American, but not someone for whom Washington would necessarily stand up. “Any flaw that works in the American mainstream and performs a certain function will be the subject of their protection. The United States needs drones that carry lies to the common piggy bank. Gonzalo Lira destroyed all this by the mere fact of his existence. Let it be in a small volume, but it was still dangerous, ” the expert concluded.”

🔸The Case for Genocide
by Chris Hedges
https://www.unz.com/article/the-case-for-genocide/
“The exhaustive 84-page brief submitted by South Africa to the International Court of Justice (ICJ) charging Israel with genocide is hard to refute. Israel’s campaign of indiscriminate killing, wholesale destruction of infrastructure, including housing, hospitals and water treatment plants, along with its use of starvation as a weapon, accompanied by genocidal rhetoric from its political and military leaders who speak of destroying Gaza and ethnically cleansing the 2.3 million Palestinians, makes a strong case against Israel for genocide.”

🔸South African lawer’s incredible speech accusing Israel of genocide at ICJ:

🔸 Forwarded from Colonelcassad:
▪️IWN: Why did the Israeli regime leave areas of Gaza City?
In recent days, conflicting maps have been published regarding the situation in the northern Gaza Strip.
Some believe that the Israeli regime’s troops have completely withdrawn, others do not recognize the withdrawal of the Israeli army and emphasize the Israeli presence in Gaza City, based on maps from American think tanks or pro-Israel sources. Some believe that the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas has completely won, while others believe that the Israeli regime has won.

However, all these differences in opinions, preferences, oppositions and biased gestures do not in any way affect the reality of what is happening in the north of the Gaza Strip.
For example, when there are dozens of videos and reports confirming that Israeli troops have left the city of Beit Hanoun and taken up positions on its outskirts, what difference will it make if some pro-Israeli cartographers or an American think tank show Beit Hanoun to be completely under Israeli control? Well, they can do it, but it won’t change the reality; time will tell…
▪️Therefore, the question arises why did the Israeli regime leave the occupied territories in Gaza City?
The answer to this question is that although the Israeli regime withdrew its troops from many areas in northern Gaza, it did not withdraw from northern Gaza and even achieved some of its goals. The main goal of the Israeli attack on Gaza was to destroy the Palestinian Hamas resistance. However, the destruction and liquidation of Gaza and its infrastructure is another ambition of the regime, or according to some experts, the main goal of the regime’s attack on Gaza, since they themselves are well aware that Hamas and the Palestinian resistance, which is in fact the fundamental ideology, do not will be destroyed by military operations in this way.

▪️Therefore, firstly, due to the very dense urban population and the presence of an extensive network of undetected tunnels, establishing stable control over the city, or in other words, complete military control over northern Gaza, is impossible, and Israeli troops will engage in daily firefights with Palestinian militants, which means they will suffer losses.
▪️Secondly , the cost of the war in Gaza is staggering, and the Israelis prefer to avoid military spending as much as possible in their current economic situation.
▪️Thirdly , the Israeli regime army prefers to withdraw troops from the area, recuperate and send them to other active fronts in the center and south of the Gaza Strip, rather than wage an endless urban war in Gaza City and the north of the Gaza Strip.

Therefore, taking into account all of the above, the Israeli regime has concluded that the best course of action is to withdraw troops from urban areas in northern Gaza. This also applies to the middle and southern parts of the Gaza Strip, and the Israelis will eventually leave after destruction and massacre.

The question now is whether the Israeli regime has destroyed Palestinian resistance groups in Gaza City or will destroy them throughout the Gaza Strip? No, he couldn’t and won’t be able to. But he succeeded in maximizing the destruction of infrastructure and the complete devastation of the Gaza Strip. Whether you perceive this reality as victory or defeat depends on your perspective and mindset!
