Gaza: US faces criticism after blocking UN call for ceasefire – BBC News
On Friday, the US vetoed a UN Security Council resolution calling for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza, saying it was “imbalanced” and “divorced from reality”, and that it failed to clearly condemn Hamas for its deadly 7 October attacks.
As one of five permanent council members, the US has the power to veto any resolution.
Washington’s position attracted widespread criticism, including from China, which described the US as “self-contradictory” by expressing concern for civilian lives, but refusing to support a draft for a ceasefire.

The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.
It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.
The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

Why USA appointed African Americans in UN? What is the motives behind?
Who will release Palestinian children, women and men from Israeli prisoners??
Israeli arrested innocent civilians without evidence, Palestinian are suffering last 80 years, genocide is going on last 80 years.
Palestinian resistance groups can stands against Apartheid regime, Palestinian fighters will protect their citizens and land from Israeli.
Germany kicked out Zionist from German land, now selling weapons to Israel and blocking ceasefire.
Israeli should go back Germany and fight for their own ancestors land in Germany but not in Palestinian land.
USA and British can give their own land to Israeli, why Western supporting Israeli genocide on Palestinian civilians, Palestinian fighters will fight for their own citizens and land, they have right to defend themselves, Israeli can defend only for German land because Germany kicked out Zionist from Germany.
Zionist go back to Germany and fight for your own ancestors land.

Nobody's responsible for this mess, except Hamas, and the Palestinian people who put them in power. Hamas has not organized elections for 17 years. Hamas is responsible attack for the terror attack. Hamas declared war. Not Israël. Not the US.
@RealityB
December 21, 2023 at 4:16 pm
Is anyone going to ask Hamas to stop fighting? IDF aren't walking around shooting innocent civilians. IDF are also suffering huge casualties. If Hamas surrender the war ends.

Siempre he creído que erais un referente como medio de comunicación, así que es una decepción que cortéis de esa manera a un invitado, elegido por vosotros. Si no queréis escuchar su opinión, no lo entrevistéis, pero hacerle una pregunta y no permitirle responder es cobarde y revienta eso de que sois “impartial”.
