US must rule out more strikes before new talks: Iran

A humanitarian corridor is designated as a pathway to the persecuted and affected community in conflict zones during humanitarian crises. It is generally used to transport aid and other necessary support to a blocked region.

The Gaza war entering its second year compels the European Union (EU) to face its contradictory relationship with Israel amid increasing evidence of human rights abuses. The question now is whether the EU can afford not to act.

A preliminary assessment by the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) concludes that last weekend’s American air-strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites inflicted only modest, short-term damage, delaying Tehran’s program by mere months rather than destroying it outright, according to three officials familiar with the report.

The decades-long military involvement of the United States in the Middle East expanded once again this week after its warplanes bombed at least three of Iran’s nuclear facilities.

The United States struck three key nuclear sites in Iran early on Sunday, injecting itself into Israel’s war with Iran in a sophisticated mission and prompting fears of military escalation in the Middle East amid Israel’s brutal onslaught of Gaza.
