Zara ‘regrets’ Gaza images ‘misunderstanding’ – BBC News
Zara says it “regrets” a “misunderstanding” about an ad campaign criticised for using photos resembling images from the Israel-Gaza war.
It has pulled the remaining pictures following days of backlash on social media and complaints to the UK’s advertising watchdog.
One image showed a model holding a mannequin wrapped in white plastic.
Zara said some customers saw “something far from what was intended when they were created”.

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.

Trust the BBC to try to white wash what Zara did, trying to show a brave face. That the company is doing well in spite of the backlash. It ain't working. F..k Zara and F..k the BBC. WE WILL NOT FORGET AND WHEN ITS OUR TURN WE WILL REMEMBER EVERYTHING. JUSTICE FOR PALESTINE 🇵🇸 🇵🇸 🇵🇸

Zara and other companies need to stop using these artsy, unintelligible adverts and just make it plain what they are actually advertising. Here’s a frock, here’s a coat, here’s a blouse and then actually show. us the whole garment not nanosecond clips of parts of the garments.

Completely stupid. No conglomerate giant would mock a current war. This is silly. 😂 There are people with really low IQs who follow and there are people trying to keep a protest alive. Zara took these photos before the war. Zara you shouldn’t apologize you should make a statement of reality.
