US accuses Iran of drone strike on tanker in Indian Ocean | BBC News

Published

on



The US military says a drone which hit a chemical tanker in the Indian Ocean was launched from Iran.

Iran is also accused of backing Houthi rebels in Yemen who have been launching attacks on shipping in the Red Sea.

The US claims that Iran also backs Hamas, the Palestinian group which attacked Israel on October 7th, leading to the war in Gaza.

It’s increased fears that the conflict in Gaza could escalate into a wider regional confrontation.

    The whole plan is to make us think Iran is too dangerous to control the sea around Iran, Oman etc, so Israel and USA have an excuse to control the Strait of Hormuz and all sea shipping routes especially for oil.

    72) They have certainly disbelieved who say, "Allāh is the Messiah, the son of Mary" while the Messiah has said, "O Children of Israel, worship Allāh, my Lord and your Lord." Indeed, he who associates others with Allāh – Allāh has forbidden him Paradise, and his refuge is the Fire. And there are not for the wrongdoers any helpers.

    Rather tell the world the real truth about your satanic plans Netanyahu, you're helping the US by maintaining the war going on, as the US run their economies on war, by selling a lot of arms. But so sad that many among the population agreed to cover their hands with innocent children blood, children without defense, seeing their innocent mom death with bullets in their head! So sad the many decided to listen to this Satan's son Netanyahu, infact he's doing all that to save his ass. He hasn't up to now shown a single video clips as proof of what he claims to be his "truth" all the propaganda was dismantle by normal citizens that exposed his fake videos.
    Each time you hold your kids, just look at your hand that are stained with pure innocent children's blood that were attacked by Netanyahu soldiers for a fake war!!! The objective is very clear, the US is doing the same again, trying to make the ww3 a reality.

    Perhaps, but only from your point of view.. America must stop the Zionist massacres in Gaza, and after that every threat in the Red Sea will disappear. It's that simple.

    Some of the hostages are at present in Egypt. Hamas moved some of the remaining hostages to Egypt through tunnels located in Rafah Border Crossing.

    Some of the hostages, who were released in the first prisoner swap (November 24- December 1st), had been forced to swallow different kind of drugs before being freed. Those drugs had been developed in Russia, Iran and North Korea during the Cold War (1947–1991) in order to punish spies and POWs. The most benign of these drugs make hostages docile. The most evil of them alters severely the brain functions. A good example of this could be seen in the case of Otto Warmbier. Otto was falsely accused of a crime in North Korea. During his imprisonment, he was given drugs (by mouth and intravenously) which altered severely his brain functions. He was released in a terrible condition, and died a few days after his arrival to the United States.

    In case of a second prisoner swap, Hamas has the order to give the most evil drugs to some of the remaining hostages.

    Through the tunnels in Rafah Crossing, Hamas also receive intelligence information and different kind of weapons; even biological weapons (like the fungus which killed an Israeli soldier yesterday and infected other ten).

Published

on



Social media giant Meta has agreed to a $18bn (ÂŖ13.3bn) settlement with US states and territories to resolve claims that Facebook and Instagram harmed children.

A California judge approved the settlement, which Meta must pay to 48 states, plus the District of Columbia and three US territories, marking the company’s largest payment over child safety litigation to date.

Meta will also implement a host of changes aimed at better protecting kids online, which the states had demanded, including default daily time limits and night-time blocks.

Meta has denied any wrongdoing as part of the settlement and said on Wednesday that the payment it agreed to “will be distributed in annual instalments over a 10-year period”.

PC Andrew Harper’s killers to stay in jail | BBC News Exclusive

Published

on



Prime Minister Andy Burnham has told the BBC that PC Andrew Harper’s killers will remain behind bars as he announces changes to the early release scheme aimed at easing prison overcrowding. 

In an exclusive interview with BBC Breakfast, Burnham said anyone convicted of manslaughter will be excluded from changes brought in under the Sentencing Act, which would have made the killers eligible for early release. 

Burnham said extra prison spaces would be created by deporting “hundreds” of foreign prisoners and releasing some inmates serving indefinite sentences.
