🇺🇸🌎❌🏴💊❗️ — The death toll of Operation Southern Spear has officially crossed 200, after yesterday's attack claimed three lives. Over 60 attacks against alleged narco-vessels have been carried out by U.S. SOUTHCOM forces.

▶️ According to a NYT investigation, there is no evidence that the campaign has reduced the flow of cocaine to the U.S.

▶️ The report also highlights the opinion of legal experts, who claim that the attacks are illegal since the U.S. is not allowed to attack civilians, even if it suspects them of having committed a crime, unless they represent an immediate threat.

▶️ Fishing communities in Colombia and Ecuador have also been affected, since fishermen are afraid of going into the ocean due to the fear of being struck. Fishing vessels are extremely similar to the ones used by narco-traffickers.

▶️ The Colombian government has actively opposed the U.S. campaign and suspended intelligence sharing with Washington over the strikes. The Ecuadorian government has supported the operation.

🇮🇷❌🇺🇸❗️ — The military adviser to Iran’s supreme leader, Mohsen Rezaee:

By continuing the naval blockade and making excessive demands in negotiations, he [Trump] has once again proven that he is not inclined toward negotiation and is pursuing other objectives.

🇺🇸🇮🇷❗️ — President Trump on Truth Social:

Fake News CNN said today, routinely, that my Iran Nuclear Deal doesn’t talk about Nuclear, when actually it states, very clearly, that Iran will not have a Nuclear Weapon.

It then goes on, in very strong and lengthy detail, to discuss various other aspects of Nuclear. In fact, that’s what most of the agreement is about. CNN, and so many others in the Fake News Media, is a Low Ratings disaster. Even with new ownership, it is unlikely to ever get better!!!
