The US has asked a number of countries, including China, Turkiye, and Saudi Arabia, to urge the Islamic Republic against retaliating to Israel’s attack on its consulate in Damascus.
US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken discussed the topic with several officials over the week, including Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi.
“We have also engaged with European allies and partners over the past few days and urged them as well to send a clear message to Iran: that escalation is not in Iran’s interest, it’s not in the region’s interest and it’s not in the world’s interest,” State Department spokesman Mathew Miller said on 11 April.
Blinken also spoke to the foreign ministers of Turkiye and Saudi Arabia and told them to “urge Iran not to escalate."
While speaking with Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, Blinken expressed Washington’s “strong support for Israel against these threats," Miller added.
“Washington has informed allies that Iran’s retaliation could be imminent,” an informed source told Financial Times (FT). Another source told FT that the US believes a direct Iranian strike on Israel is possible.
According to sources who spoke with Lebanese newspaper Al-Akhbar, Iran is “proposing the following:
If a ceasefire is reached in Gaza and Israel does not attack the city of Rafah, it is ready, in order to reduce escalation and tension, not to take any action against Israel at the present time.” The sources said there has been no response to this proposal.
They added that Israel is attempting to get out of the “impasse” it faces in Gaza by “provoking new crises” and trying to drag Iran and the US into direct confrontation.

No Consensus for Palestinian Statehood at UNSC
The Palestinian Authority resubmitted its application for membership last week, with Algeria potentially being at the helm of an upcoming vote
The UN Security Council failed on 11 April to reach a consensus on full UN membership for Palestine, which has held observer status since 2012.
Just a week earlier, the Palestinian government in Ramallah reapplied for full UN membership, resulting in a formal review process at the Security Council.
Malta’s ambassador to the UN, Vanessa Frazier – the temporary president of the council for the current month – said “there was no consensus” at the meeting, which took place behind closed doors. She added, however, that two-thirds of the members supported full Palestinian membership, without specifying which countries.
Diplomatic sources told AFP that a vote on the matter may be held on 18 April, and led by Algeria, the representative of Arab states on the council.
The Palestinian ambassador to the UN told reporters earlier in the week: “All we ask for is to take our rightful place among the community of nations.” Mansour sent a letter last week to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres to resubmit the application.
The Palestinian Authority (PA) has been requesting statehood and full recognition at the UN for years. It had first applied for full membership in 2011 before the bid stalled.

“We’ve lost. Truth must be told … It’s no fun to admit that we’ve lost, so we lie to ourselves.”
Renowned Israeli journalist Chaim Levinson published a piece in Haaretz titled, ‘Saying What Can’t Be Said: Israel Has Been Defeated – A Total Defeat.’
“Hamas will not be eradicated. The hostages will not be returned through military pressure. Security will not be reestablished.”
To Levinson, Israel is being “held hostage by the worst leadership in the country’s history” and currently “has no diplomatic exit.”
The hostages in Gaza will never return, and Israel will not regain its security. He cites lies, procrastination, deceit and denial in dealing with the war.
He also points out that Israelis may not be able to safely return to the northern border following Hezbollah’s cross border attacks. The public is being deceived into thinking action will be taken against Hezbollah, but “the deadline keeps being pushed back.”
As for the Rafah invasion, Levinson calls it the “newest bluff” – and that by the time it actually happens (if it happens), “the actual event will have lost its significance.”

Al-Mayadeen Journalists Come Under Israeli Fire in South Lebanon
Over 130 journalists have been killed by Israeli forces in Lebanon and the Gaza Strip since the war began in October
Israeli forces at the Misgav Am military site on Lebanon’s southern border opened fire at several Lebanese journalists on 12 April.
An Al-Mayadeen crew was driving a vehicle marked with the word PRESS on the Al-Adaisseh road when the car was struck by several Israeli army bullets.
Israeli troops also opened fire at civilian cars along the same road, the outlet’s correspondent reported, adding that the attacks were witnessed by UNIFIL forces. No injuries were reported in the incident.
This was not the first time Al-Mayadeen journalists were attacked by the Israeli army.
In November 2023, correspondent Farah Omar and her colleagues Rabie al-Maamari and Hussein Aqeel were killed in an Israeli airstrike in the town of Tair Harfa, southern Lebanon. At the start of the war the month before, Reuters photographer Issam Abdullah was killed by Israeli tank shelling in the southern Lebanese village of Alma al-Shaab.

Israeli MK Says There Are Secret Plans To Establish Israeli Settlements in Gaza
Israeli MKs and ministers have been open about their desire to establish new settlements in Gaza
Limor Son Har-Melech, a member of the Israeli Knesset and the hardline Jewish Power party, has said there are secret Israeli plans to establish settlements in the Gaza Strip, The New Arab reported on Wednesday.
Har-Melech told the Israeli Knesset’s TV channel that there was “a vision for the day after (the war on Gaza), and the only optimistic vision is the renewal of the settlement of Gaza. Of course this will happen in stages, I think this will happen whether we like it or not.”
She said that she was “speaking about secret matters because we can see the large opposition (from external parties).” She added that starting in the next session of the Israeli Knesset, “you will see practical steps, including plans, and work in government offices and security services. There is intensive work behind the scenes on this.”
Other members of the Israeli Knesset and ministers in the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have not been shy about their desire to re-establish settlements in Gaza. In January, 12 ministers and 15 MKs attended a conference on the settlement of Gaza.
Itamar Ben-Gvir, Israel’s minister of national security and the leader of the Jewish Power party, spoke at the conference and called for Netanyahu to take steps to allow for settlements. “If we don’t want another October 7, we need to go back home and control [Gaza]. We need to find a legal way to voluntarily emigrate [Palestinians] and impose death sentences on terrorists,” he said. “I turn to you, PM Netanyahu: this is time for brave decisions.”

Check out my latest article for TLAV:
Are the Violations of Mexican and Iranian Embassies a Sign of a ‘New Normal’ in Diplomatic Relations?
Recent actions taken by both the Israeli and Ecuadorian governments have called into question the sovereignty and sanctity of international embassies.
On April 1st, Israel launched missiles at the Iranian consulate in Damascus, Syria, killing seven military advisers, including a high-profile leader of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). Iran’s ambassador to Syria noted that the strike hit a consulate building in the embassy compound.
On April 5, only days after Israel’s bombing of Iran’s embassy, Ecuadorean President Daniel Noboa broke diplomatic ties with Mexico and ordered Ecuadorian police to force their way into the Mexican embassy in Quito to arrest former Vice President Jorge Glas. Noboa’s decision to violate the sovereignty of Mexico’s embassy came in response to Mexico’s President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) granting Glas asylum in Mexico as he fights off corruption charges.
An attack on Iran’s embassy — which is legally considered Iranian territory — is seen as a direct challenge of their sovereignty, especially because of the deaths of senior military officials.
Mexico called on Ecuador to issue a public apology acknowledging the “violations to the fundamental principles and norms of international law”. Mexico is also calling for the UN to secure the embassy and for Ecuador to allow Mexican officials to safely leave the diplomatic buildings and their private homes in Ecuador.
While the UN member states must approve any such action against Ecuador, the invasion of Mexico’s embassy is yet another sign that typical expectations of respecting national sovereignty may no longer be relevant.
Of course, this is not the first time that embassies have been attacked. It is also not the first time that international norms regarding national sovereignty have been violated.
Clearly, nations like the United States, Israel, Ecuador, and others are willing to violate the supposed sovereignty of nations when push comes to shove. Hopefully, the irony (and hypocrisy) of Israeli and the US governments complaining over violations of sovereignty and international law while they participate and fund genocide in Gaza is not lost on any of our readers.
Are we now in a “new normal” where nations will feel free to violate this allegedly “inviolable” space regardless of the potential outcomes?
Or, is the public finally recognizing that the imperialist, tyrannical nations of the world will, ultimately, always do what they want, international law and treaties be damned? More to the point, why should the public be expected to trust these nations which have made it clear they do not value individual sovereignty, freedom of choice, freedom of speech, or even human life?

Wider War in Europe ‘No Longer a Fantasy’, Warns EU’s Top Diplomat
Josep Borrell says Russia threatens the continent beyond the conflict in Ukraine
Europe must prepare for potential war, as a full-scale conflict on the continent beyond Ukraine is “no longer a fantasy”, the EU’s chief diplomat has warned.
“Russia threatens Europe,” both through its ongoing war in Ukraine and hybrid attacks on EU member states, Josep Borrell said on Tuesday in a speech in Brussels.
“War is certainly looming around us,” said Borrell. “A high-intensity, conventional war in Europe is no longer a fantasy.”
It is the first time the former Spanish foreign minister has laid out the Russian threat so explicitly, after recent warnings from military chiefs and leaders in northern Europe about the risk of more Russian attacks beyond Ukraine. The Danish defence minister in February said Russia could test Nato’s solidarity within three to five years.
“The Berlin Wall has been replaced with a ring of fires around us,” he said, referring also to the Israel-Hamas war and instability in northern Africa.
The conflict on the EU’s border has exposed the bloc’s underinvested defence industry and military capabilities. It has also spooked capitals that are worried the US could retreat from its long-term role as the continent’s ultimate security guarantee if Donald Trump returns to the White House after the US presidential elections in November.
Russia’s armed forces in Ukraine are deploying vastly more weaponry and manpower than Kyiv is able to, sparking concerns in western capitals that Moscow could make significant territorial gains this year.
European countries, which gutted defence spending in the decades following the end of the cold war, have stepped up investments in their defence industrial production capacity in an effort to increase supplies to Ukraine and re-arm their own forces.
But more investment was needed, given that Europe’s security situation was an “existential crisis”, Borrell said. “We need a new intergovernmental financing vehicle . . . comparable to the one that we created during the [eurozone] financial crisis.”

Josep Borrell says Russia threatens the continent beyond the conflict in Ukraine
Europe must prepare for potential war, as a full-scale conflict on the continent beyond Ukraine is “no longer a fantasy”, the EU’s chief diplomat has warned.
“Russia threatens Europe,” both through its ongoing war in Ukraine and hybrid attacks on EU member states, Josep Borrell said on Tuesday in a speech in Brussels.
“War is certainly looming around us,” said Borrell. “A high-intensity, conventional war in Europe is no longer a fantasy.”
It is the first time the former Spanish foreign minister has laid out the Russian threat so explicitly, after recent warnings from military chiefs and leaders in northern Europe about the risk of more Russian attacks beyond Ukraine. The Danish defence minister in February said Russia could test Nato’s solidarity within three to five years.
“The Berlin Wall has been replaced with a ring of fires around us,” he said, referring also to the Israel-Hamas war and instability in northern Africa.
The conflict on the EU’s border has exposed the bloc’s underinvested defence industry and military capabilities. It has also spooked capitals that are worried the US could retreat from its long-term role as the continent’s ultimate security guarantee if Donald Trump returns to the White House after the US presidential elections in November.

The Key to Killing Swarms of Cheap Drones? — A Nearly Unstoppable Microwave Weapon
Iranian and Chinese Drones Are Overwhelming American Warships—But This High-Tech Weapon Could Help Them Fight Back
Existing weapons cannot stop swarms. This new microwave blaster can.
Dec. 23 — Scientific American: New Microwave Weapons Could Defend against Swarms of Combat Drones
The Pentagon is readying high-powered microwave weapons that are capable of invisible strikes against swarming combat drones
...Such ad hoc fleets of low-cost drones have played prominent roles in other recent conflicts, including Ukraine’s fight against Russian forces and Azerbaijan’s strategy in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict of 2020. But this is only the beginning. Soon machine learning will enable dozens of drones at once to fly in larger coordinated “swarms” that could overwhelm traditional defenses even more easily. The U.S. Department of Defense is preparing new countermeasures against this threat, and the Pentagon believes it has a promising candidate in an invisible form of directed energy: high-power microwaves.
“We believe that high-power microwave technology is critical to help us mitigate the threat of swarming small drones,” says Maj. Gen. Sean Gainey, head of the Joint Counter-Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems Office (JCO) and director of fires in the office of the Army’s deputy chief of staff for operations, plans and training. The threat from small uncrewed aircraft has been rapidly growing in general, Gainey adds. He predicts that coordinated mass attacks involving hundreds of drones flying together to overwhelm traditional defenses are coming. Meanwhile individual drones are getting faster, more agile and—when equipped with the right munitions—gaining the potential to inflict greater destruction, akin to the impact of a cruise missile. And artificial intelligence will also enable them to function autonomously.
To defend against this threat, the Army is looking for prospective technologies that can detect, track, identify and disable between 20 and 50 small drones, officially called unmanned aerial systems, or UAS, in one fell swoop.
Next June the Pentagon is planning the U.S. military’s most ambitious counterdrone demonstration to date. At the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico, the JCO will assess about half a dozen new technologies, pitting them against a swarm of up to 50 small, uncrewed “surrogate enemy aircraft.”

Iraqi PM Says ‘Timetable Set’ to End Presence of US-Led Coalition
The Iraqi premier is set to visit the US capital in the coming days, where he will discuss the future of security and defense ties between the two countries
Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, in a column written for Foreign Affairs magazine, says that the joint US–Iraqi Supreme Military Committee has agreed on a timetable to “end” the presence of the US-led international coalition in the country.
“In late January, we formed the High Military Committee, composed of top military officials from both the United States and Iraq, to assess the ongoing threat of [ISIS], the capabilities of the Iraqi security services, and operational conditions throughout the country,” Sudani writes.
“That effort has led to an agreement among all stakeholders to end the international coalition in a gradual and orderly manner on an agreed timetable … Going forward, the High Military Committee will develop a road map for future relations, including the presence of US advisers,” the premier adds, highlighting that the move does not mark a “downgrade” in Iraq–US ties, but rather a “new phase … that goes beyond just security and military affairs.”
Sudani stressed the “delicate balance” Baghdad must achieve between the US and resistance factions that form the Popular Mobilization Units (PMU), who “sometimes enter into direct conflict with American forces.”
He also reiterated that ISIS no longer poses a significant threat to Iraq, a claim that Washington has perpetuated to justify their heavy military presence in the country.
“Now, only small ISIS groups remain; they are being pursued by our security forces, across deserts and mountains and into caves, but they no longer pose a threat to the state,” Sudani says, adding that Baghdad needs to redirect resources “from waging wars toward promoting development.”
“Ultimate victory over terrorism is unattainable without genuine development, including a decent standard of health care, education, and other essential services,” the Iraqi premier writes.
Sudani says that a transformation of US–Iraq relations... will also allow Baghdad to pursue the guiding principle of its foreign relations, which he called “Iraq first," stressing that his government seeks to “approach every country on equal terms, so that Iraq does not become an arena for any outside actor to settle scores.”
Such a transformation would also allow Iraq to “work with the United States to defuse crises,” Sudani adds, highlighting that a “comprehensive de-escalation” in West Asia currently hinges on “urgently ending the war in the Gaza Strip and respecting the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people.”...
