U.S Strikes: Russia says Biden 'boosting' his presidential campaign with Syria, Iraq strikes
Russia has accused US President Joe Biden of carrying out military strikes in Iraq and Syria to prop up his presidential re-election campaign.
Russia claimed Biden is carrying out strikes in Iraq and Syria to boost his image as the presidential election campaign "is heating up" - not in retaliation for a deadly attack on U.S. soldiers.
Russia's UNAmbassador Vassily Nebenzia, at a meeting of the Security Council, said Biden giving the nod to engage in conflicts in the Middle East was not in response to the deadly attack on US soldiers in Jordan but an attempt to boost his image.
The US last week began airstrikes against dozens of targets linked to Iran's Revolutionary Guard (IRGC) and allied groups after the Jordan drone attacks which Washington blamed on Iranian-backed militias.

France's foreign minister announced plans to engage in discussions with Lebanese officials on Sunday to address tensions between Hezbollah and Israel and prevent potential conflict. Earlier this year, Foreign Minister Stephane Sejourne proposed a plan that involves Hezbollah pulling back 10 km from the Israeli border while Israel halts strikes in southern Lebanon. This proposal, discussed with partners including the U.S., aims to maintain momentum amid Israeli threats of military action in southern Lebanon. Tensions have escalated, particularly following Iran's missile strikes on Israel in response to events in Syria, leading to increased exchanges between Israel and Hezbollah.

Multiple rockets launched from Iraq's Zummar targeted a U.S. military base in northeastern Syria, marking the first such attack since February. This assault coincided with Iraqi Prime Minister al-Sudani's return from the U.S., prompting concerns over escalating tensions. Kataib Hezbollah announced the resumption of attacks on U.S. forces in Iraq due to perceived stalled negotiations.

Israeli strike in Syria" on April 1, AP reports. .

Israel to show restraint and resist
retaliating against Iran, AP reports. .
Now is the time to be smart
as well as tough, to think
with head as well as heart, David Cameron, British foreign secretary, via statement.
We cannot afford another front
in the Middle East. There would only
be losers, in the region and beyond, Alexander Schallenberg, Austria’s foreign minister, via statement.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz called Israel's ability to intercept Iran's attack "really impressive" and urged the country to "contribute to de-escalation.".
This is a success that perhaps also
should not be thrown away. Hence
also our advice to contribute to
de-escalation themselves, Olaf Scholz, German chancellor, via statement.
Kenya urges Israel to show utmost restraint

parties to walk away from the brink beyond
which recovery will be enormously difficult. , William Ruto, president of Kenya, via statement.

In a significant escalation of tensions, Iran carried out its first-ever direct attack on Israel, unleashing over 300 explosive drones and missiles on Saturday (April 13). Termed as "Operation Truthful Promise" by Iran, the strikes were reportedly in retaliation to an Israeli attack on the Iranian embassy in Syria earlier in the month. This aggressive move has intensified hostilities between the two nations and raised concerns about further destabilisation in the region.

Russia Vetoes UN Resolution , to Prevent Nukes in Space.
The resolution was sponsored
by Japan and the United States.
It called on all nations to refrain from developing or deploying nuclear weapons "or other weapons of mass destruction in space," 'The Guardian' reports. .
A 1967 international treaty
already bans such weapons in space.
Russia’s U.N. Ambassador, Vassily Nebenzia,
vetoed the resolution, calling it "absolutely absurd and politicized," as well as a "dirty spectacle.".
China abstained from voting, while the rest of the 15-member council voted in favor of the resolution. .
Today’s veto begs the question:
Why? Why, if you are following the
rules, would you not support a
resolution that reaffirms them?
What could you possibly be hiding, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, U.S. ambassador to the U.N., via 'The Guardian'.
Russia and China would rather establish an
amendment calling on all nations "to prevent for
all time the placement of weapons in outer space, and the threat of use of force in outer spaces.".
We want a ban on the placement of
weapons of any kind in outer space, not
just WMDs [weapons of mass destruction].
But you don’t want that. And let me ask
you that very same question. Why?, Vassily Nebenzia, Russia’s U.N. ambassador, via 'The Guardian'.
Nebenzia went on to say, "if we recall that the U.S. and their allies announced some time ago plans to place weapons … in outer space.".
The U.S.-Japan resolution was announced in March after it was determined that Russia was in possession of "a 'troubling' anti-satellite weapon capability," 'The Guardian' reports.
However, earlier this year, Putin said, , "Our position is clear and transparent: We have always been categorically against and are now against the deployment of nuclear weapons in space."

The U.S. has called a cease-fire crucial for
protecting civilians and expanding aid distribution
as over 2 million Palestinians face the threat of famine.
NBC reports that the failed resolution contained
no direct link to the release of hostages taken by
Hamas during the group's October 7 attack on Israel.
The resolution did reportedly support diplomatic
efforts "to secure such a cease-fire in connection
with the release of all remaining hostages.".
According to Israel, 130 hostages
remain in Gaza, while another
34 have already died in captivity.
Three previous attempts at
a resolution were vetoed by the U.S.
in October, December and February.
The failed fourth resolution came after the U.N.'s
Integrated Food Security Phase Classification
initiative warned that "famine is imminent" in Gaza. .
The initiative also warned that escalation
of the war could push half of Gaza's
entire population to the edge of starvation.

The resolution would have made Palestine
the 194th member of the United Nations. .
Deputy Ambassador Robert Wood stressed to the
Security Council that the U.S. veto of the resolution... .
... “does not reflect opposition to Palestinian statehood
but instead is an acknowledgment that it will only
come from direct negotiations between the parties.”.
Similarly, deputy State Department
spokesman Vedant Patel said that the U.S. has...
... “been very clear consistently that premature actions
in New York — even with the best intentions — will
not achieve statehood for the Palestinian people.”.
In response to the failed vote, Palestinian U.N.
Ambassador Riyad Mansour told the council that
the decision would not deter the Palestinian people.
The fact that this resolution did not
pass will not break our will and it
will not defeat our determination, Riyad Mansour, Palestinian U.N. Ambassador, via Associated Press.
We will not stop in our effort.
The state of Palestine is inevitable.
It is real. Perhaps they see it as
far away, but we see it as near, Riyad Mansour, Palestinian U.N. Ambassador, via Associated Press
