Foiled US Iran oil ‘theft’
Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guard Corps has released the footage of blocking a recent attempt by US forces to seize a tanker that was carrying Iranian oil in the Sea of Oman. The video shows IRGC’s Naval forces carrying out a heliborne operation, and the US military’s failure to prevent the tanker’s retrieval.
US Afghanistan strike
The Pentagon says a US drone strike that killed 10 civilians in Kabul back in August did not violate any law. The US Defense Department says its investigation has found that the attack was caused by a series of errors, including the interpretation of intelligence. Lieutenant General Sami Said, who headed the probe, has called the attack a regrettable mistake. The strike came days after a Daesh bombing killed 13 American troops and scores of Afghan civilians outside Kabul airport gates. The Pentagon had initially said the strike targeted a Daesh bomber who posed an imminent threat to US-led troops.
Rejecting Biden criticism
China and Russia have strongly rejected US President Joe Biden’s criticism about their leaders’ failure to attend the climate change summit in Glasgow. Kremlin Spokesman, Dmitry Peskov said the absence of President Vladimir Putin doesn’t mean Moscow is giving less importance to the summit. He said his country is serious about climate change and is well aware of its impacts. Peskov added, Russia is facing more serious climate challenges than other countries and that Moscow has taken a responsible stance on the issue with long-term plans. Meanwhile, China also hit back at Biden’s criticism, saying what is needed to deal with climate change is actions and not words.
