Iran BLASTS Germany For Aiding Israel’s War Crimes, Calls Merz Complicit In ‘Act Of Aggression’ [Video]

Iran BLASTS Germany For Aiding Israel’s War Crimes, Calls Merz Complicit In ‘Act Of Aggression’

Iran’s Foreign Ministry has launched a blistering verbal offensive against German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, accusing Berlin of directly supporting Israel’s “war of aggression” against the Islamic Republic. In a fiery statement posted online, senior Iranian official Esmaeil Baqaei slammed Merz for endorsing what he called “atrocity crimes” and “unprovoked armed attacks” by Israel, claiming it violated the UN Charter’s Article 2(4). Labeling Germany’s position as both “illegal” and “criminal,” Baqaei said Berlin’s support amounts to “complicity in aggression” and warned that Germany now bears international legal responsibility. The remarks come as Iran seeks to rally global opinion against Israel following strikes on its territory, and as Tehran accuses Western powers of shielding Israeli actions. Iran’s legal framing of Germany’s conduct could escalate diplomatic tensions and spark fierce debates at global forums including the UN and ICJ. #Iran #Germany #Israel #FriedrichMerz #UNCharter #WarCrimes #Tehran #Berlin #InternationalLaw #MiddleEast #Geopolitics #BreakingNews #IranIsrael #ChancellorMerz #IranForeignMinistry #Aggression #Complicity #WarOfAggression #UNViolation #NuclearTensions ~HT.318~ED.346~

Russia BLASTS UN Chief For Bias, Accuses Him Of Backing Kiev Regime And Distorting Facts | Russia-UN

Russia has launched a scathing attack on UN Secretary-General António Guterres, accusing him of political bias and acting as a mouthpiece for NATO and the “criminal Kyiv regime.” Moscow condemned Guterres' recent comments on alleged Russian missile and drone strikes that supposedly caused a power outage at the Russian-controlled Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant. Russia insists the real culprits were Ukrainian militants and blasted the IAEA for ignoring those attacks in its reports. The Russian Foreign Ministry said Guterres was spreading “fabricated lies” and violating the UN Charter by favoring one side. Moscow asserts that it ensures the plant's safety and only targets military sites, unlike Kyiv, which it accuses of systematic strikes on civilians. With accusations of double standards and a call to end disinformation, Russia warned that UN officials must return to neutrality or risk losing credibility on the global stage. #RussiaUNClash #GuterresCriticism #UNBias #ZaporizhzhyaNPP #UkraineCrisis #RussiaUkraineWar #IAEABias #KyivRegime #NATOBias #UNCharterViolation #RussiaCondemnsUN #NuclearPlantDebate #MoscowStrikesBack #UkraineTerrorismClaims #GuterresControversy #RussiaVsWest #UNUnderFire #DoubleStandards #WesternPropaganda #DisinformationBattle ~ED.420~HT.408~GR.125~

‘X Is Threat To…’ France Launches CRIMINAL PROBE Into Musk’s X Over Hate Speech And Algorithm Bias [Video]

‘X Is Threat To…’ France Launches CRIMINAL PROBE Into Musk’s X Over Hate Speech And Algorithm Bias

France has launched a dramatic criminal investigation into Elon Musk’s social media platform X, over allegations that its algorithms are fueling hate speech and manipulating democratic discourse. Sparked by two formal complaints, the probe will examine whether foreign interference tactics were enabled via the platform’s opaque moderation systems. French MP Eric Bothorel accused X of silencing diverse viewpoints and creating a “real danger” to democracy, while a cybersecurity official claimed the algorithms promoted racist and homophobic content. The scandal deepened after Musk’s AI chatbot Grok generated antisemitic remarks, prompting backlash from French politicians and a public apology from the company. The French prosecutor confirmed executives at X could be held liable. Meanwhile, European lawmakers are intensifying calls for stricter oversight of platforms like X. Musk’s prior endorsement of Germany’s far-right AfD has only added fuel to the fire, raising global concerns over tech giants' unchecked influence on democratic processes. #France #ElonMusk #XPlatform #FreeSpeech #HateSpeech #AI #Grok #Misinformation #AlgorithmBias #TechNews #Macron #Cybersecurity #AfD #EuropeanPolitics #SocialMedia #MuskAI #DigitalRegulation #MediaManipulation #DemocracyThreat #Disinformation Also Read Linda Yaccarino Resigns As CEO Of X After Two Transformative Years :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/linda-yaccarino-resigns-as-ceo-of-x-after-two-transformative-years-7796371.html?ref=DMDesc Elon Musk’s Starlink Cleared To Operate In India, Services To Begin Soon :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/elon-musk-s-starlink-cleared-to-operate-in-india-services-to-begin-soon-7796229.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Calls Musk’s America Party Plan ‘Ridiculous’ And ‘Unworkable’ :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-calls-musk-s-america-party-plan-ridiculous-and-unworkable-7793443.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.102~GR.124~

A quiet afternoon in Santa Monica turned into chaos as gunshots rang out at a popular shopping mall. A suspect—linked to a previous shooting involving a Waymo autonomous vehicle—allegedly shot two teenagers before ambushing a police officer during a foot chase.

Santa Monica Police Chief Ramon Batista said the evidence strongly links the man to both shootings. The suspect, described as being in his 30s, was considered armed and dangerous. The 3rd Street Promenade was evacuated, and the public was urged to avoid the area during the tense search. Mayor Lana Negrete praised the swift response of law enforcement and confirmed that the streets are now safe.
