Uncovering allegations of sexual harassment and corruption at the United Nations – BBC Newsnight
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.

I am the one who placed a Harassment complaint against my supervisor at WHO (World Hell Organization) in 2019, the investigation office reported that have opened the case and according to UN policy the outcome of the investigation must be reported back to compliant. But, nothing happened and of course my contract was not extended.

The system he is talking about if it were to be weaponized, could it not be used against whistleblowers or against someone who is actually acting in good faith. Look at what America has done to Snowden by making him an enemy because he exposed their wrongdoings.

It seems that there is a lot of "emprovement" ado! Was it not enough organising and protecting human traffikers that forced women into prostitution through violencr and brutality? A lot of money in it isn't it? What about the young women abducted and forced to make babies human clones that are used for all sorts of illegal activities ranging from money laundering, frodes, impersonating important politicians, implanting fake evidences, confusing criminal investigations, experimenting new medications (a lot of money in that) etc. Moderna was quick at finding a vaccine is it not? a previous USA study had to shut down after 10 years researching a new vaccine based on DNA because after 5 years from inoculation all the laboratory animals were getting massive liver inflamations, caners etc.
Lot of money is it not?

Somehow unsurprising in a multi-cultural group in which people are trying to find ways of relating and finding peace between countries, those circumstances make it difficult to say something to counsel members from societies that are brutal. I had an uncle that worked as a UN lawyer, it was not about power but a commitment to peace and a better world. There may be some jerks, or ignorance, but the majority only care about a better future. You don't get famous (rarely) working for this organization. I don't think they go to the UN as a safe place to be predatory, they just came from places where that attitude is considered normal and the other people don't know how to both negotiate and punish people at the same time. A difficult situation

Dear British people ,
🍗🍗🍗🐑🐑🐑
Please confirm if Rishi Sunak eats beef.
If not don't allow him in to British PARLIAMENT.
Do not let anyone teach you even on what you eat or drink or festivals or new moon ( Colossians chapter 2)
God bless you .
Regarding sins God Almighty is the judge to all mankind.
Fornications and adultery are same .
But
Fornications that are within a family is very dangerous.
Family values are good .
Adultery is okay in a place if a mother or son relationship is honourable.
Father or daughter.
What ever ..
I have seen or seeing fornication very common.
To understand this you must read Corinthians .
Fornications that are outside the same family is also dangerous.
I can see lot of fornications within the family of many houses in AFRICA and India.
Fornications outside the family is okay.
Here nobody is clean .
God father JESUS are the one and only HOLY.
During nights ,
I don't get sleep with in around my mom.
So I go up or somewhere .
But I only go up in my house.to sleep.
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
