Your man Xiden is participating in genocide. Leaked US cable acknowledges ‘catastrophic’ cost of Israel’s Rafah invasionIsrael has been threatening to invade Rafah for weeks, where over one million internally displaced Gazans have sought shelter News Desk MAR 6, 2024 (Photo Credit: AFP) An internal cable leaked by The Intercept on 5 March shows the US is well aware of the humanitarian catastrophe that will take place if Israel proceeds with its plan to invade Rafah, which it claims to be Hamas' last stronghold. An area of 62km squared, with over 1.5 million Palestinian civilians internally displaced and living in refugee camps, Rafah has come under increasing threats of an Israeli ground assault. The potential invasion has come under international condemnation and has increased the rift between US President Joe Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. However, the US has continued to make weapons shipments to the Israeli army, including about a thousand MK-82 500-pound bombs and KMU-572 Joint Direct Attack Munitions (JDAM) each, despite the seeming eagerness of the Israeli state to invade the densely populated south of Gaza. The leaked cable shows that the US acknowledges that the impact of such an invasion would be cataclysmic. “A potential escalation of military operations within Southern Gaza’s Rafah Governorate could result in catastrophic humanitarian consequences, including mass civilian casualties, extensive population displacement, and the collapse of the existing humanitarian response, multiple relief actors have warned USAID’s Levant Disaster Assistance Response Team,” the cable written by the US Agency for International Development (USAID) Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance reads. Among the “key points” mentioned in the cable, an Israeli offensive in Rafah would “block the entry and transport of fuel and life-saving humanitarian assistance throughout the enclave,” further worsening the state of Palestinians who have already faced a near five-month-long siege by the Israeli army. The cable explains that there is no viable plan of evacuation for the Palestinians displaced in Rafah. Israel’s option to the Palestinians is to live as refugees in Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula, which the latter refused completely. The US cable also acknowledges that “a large portion of those residing in Rafah, including elderly populations, exhausted IDPs, and those with reduced mobility, would likely remain in the governorate during the potential military operation due to lack of viable alternatives, heightening the risk of mass casualties.” State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller has previously mentioned that the US would not support a full-scale military operation in Rafah. US Vice President Kamala Harris said that Israel should produce a credible humanitarian plan before entering Rafah, and USAID head Samantha Power said that the US would not support such a military operation without such a plan in place. The US recently airdropped aid into Gaza as it continues to support Israel politically and militarily. Australia's support of Israel has now led to its prime minister being referred to the International Criminal Court (ICC) for being an “ accessory to genocide in Gaza,” a title which may soon be attached to many pro-Israel heads of state.

Sanctions have become a tit for tat game that we are losing big time. Iran to unload $50m worth of oil from US-chartered tanker The 'Advantage Sweet' was seized by Tehran last year after it collided with an Iranian ship, resulting in deaths and injuries News Desk MAR 6, 2024 (Photo credit: AP) Iran is planning to unload $50 million worth of oil from a Marshal Islands-flagged tanker seized by Iranian naval forces in the Gulf of Oman last year. The unloading of the oil falls in line with a court order, which was issued in favor of a group of Iranian medical patients who had filed a lawsuit citing “severe mental and physical harm” from US sanctions, which prevented their access to a much-needed Swedish-made medicine. “Based on this, with the legal follow-up carried out by the lawyer of the case, the court finally ordered the seizure of the American oil cargo of the ADVANTAGE SWEET ship,” semi-official Iranian news agency Tasnim reported on 6 March. Iranian naval forces seized the Advantage Sweet vessel on 27 April 2023. The vessel is a Suezmax crude tanker that had been chartered by US company Chevron. In a statement at the time, the Iranian military revealed that the tanker had collided with an Iranian vessel, resulting in "the loss of two people" and the injury of several. Washington has seized several shipments of Iranian oil in recent years in what it says are operations aimed at enforcing US sanctions against the Islamic Republic. As a result, Tehran has accused the US of engaging in “maritime piracy.” The US seized the Suez Rajan tanker, which was carrying Iranian oil, in April last year. Washington also charged the ship owner with “sanctions evasion” and directed the cargo to waters 65 miles off Galveston, Texas. Washington began unloading the oil in August 2023 after months of reluctance, which reports said was due to fears of Iranian reprisal. In response, Tehran seized the Suez Rajan – renamed the St. Nikolas – as it transited the Sea of Oman in January 2024. “The Iranian Army Naval Forces seized an American oil tanker in the waters of the Sea of ??Oman by judicial order,” the public relations office of Tehran's navy announced on 11 January.
