Iraq summoned Iran's envoy in Baghdad and recalled its ambassador from Tehran on Tuesday in a sharp rebuke to its ally over deadly missile strikes on its autonomous Kurdish region. Iraq challenged Iran's claim that the strikes targeted Zionist's intelligence services in response to recent Zionist assassinations of Iranian and pro-Iranian commanders. It said it would lodge a complaint with the UN Security Council over the Iranian "attack on its sovereignty". Iran's strikes, which also hit alleged Islamic State group targets in Iraq's western neighbour Syria, came with tensions high across the Middle East as Zionist battles Iran ally Hamas and drew condemnation from the United States. Four people were killed and six wounded in the strikes on Iraqi Kurdistan, the region's security council said. The casualties included prominent real estate magnate Peshraw Dizayee, his wife and other family members who were hit by a strike on their home, the region...

Controversial legislation ‘not compatible’ with international law: UN refugee agency LONDON: Britain’s plan to send migrants to Rwanda returns to the spotlight on Tuesday, when lawmakers debate the controversial scheme, testing leader Rishi Sunak’s authority with a general election around the corner. The prime minister — in power since October 2022 — has staked his political future on slashing record levels of regular and irregular migration. His government’s Safety of Rwanda (Asylum and Immigration) Bill is key to that pledge. But the legislation has reopened schisms in his ruling Conservatives between right-wingers and moderates, meaning Sunak faces a fight to get it on the statute books. The plan is Sunak’s answer to a unanimous UK Supreme Court ruling in November that deporting asylum seekers to Rwanda is illegal under international law. It would compel judges to treat Rwanda as a safe third country and proposes giving UK ministers powers to disregard sections of international a...

PARIS: France’s new Education Minister Amelie Oudea-Castera is coming under increasing pressure over her decision to have her children attend a private school, a row overshadowing President Emmanuel Macron’s attempt to relaunch his second term with a government reshuffle. Opponents have questioned her insistence that she sent one child to a private school because of teacher absences and staffing shortfalls at his public establishment in central Paris, in an increasingly bitter and personal dispute. Oudea-Castera was one of the main winners in last week’s reshuffle, with the former French junior tennis champion given the education ministry alongside her existing portfolio as sports minister. Heading the new “super ministry”, she will be leading preparations for the 2024 Olympics in Paris a well as handling one of the most sensitive issues in French politics. The controversy began Friday, when Oudea-Castera told reporters she had chosen to put her son in an elite private school because...

Extremism is a deadly industry, and modern history bears witness to the Zionist entity’s acts of terrorism and violence against innocent civilians. This war machine is led by cruel, hard-hearted individuals devoid of empathy who wore out their welcome in the West, prompting their relocation to our homeland. The West persists in fostering this lethal fanaticism within our borders. Leaders of the Zionist entity actively sow discord, displaying a relentless pursuit of killing innocents. Their unrelenting efforts have garnered support from some of the world’s strongest nations, forming an undeclared regional alliance against the Arab nation. This alliance, with backing from certain regional countries and superpowers, ensures the separation and fragmentation of the Palestinian people and perpetuates weakness and instability within the Arab nation. This strategy aims to keep most of our countries from progressing in terms of construction and development. Today, massacres continue unabated,...

DUBAI: Yemen’s Houthi rebels hit a US-owned cargo vessel with a missile on Monday, the US military said, heightening fears for the volatile region after repeated attacks on shipping triggered American and British strikes. The Marshall Islands-flagged Gibraltar Eagle suffered a fire on board but no casualties and remained seaworthy, the US Central Command said, in the latest attack in recent days. “Iranian-backed Houthi militants fired an anti-ship ballistic missile from Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen and struck the M/V Gibraltar Eagle,” it posted on X, formerly Twitter. “The ship has reported no injuries or significant damage and is continuing its journey,” added CENTCOM, which directs US military operations in the region.

An anti-ship ballistic missile launched towards shipping lanes in the southern Red Sea failed in f...
