Sanctions amid pandemic
Iran’s president has slammed the European signatories to the 2015 nuclear deal for failing to comply with their obligations under the accord. Hassan Rouhani made the remark in a phone call with British Prime Minister Boris Johnson. Rouhani also touched upon the impacts of US sanctions amid the coronavirus pandemic. He said the sanctions have doubled the problems of coronavirus patients in Iran. He added that the US has not taken any practical measures to revive the nuclear pact. The Iranian president described Washington as the biggest violator of the agreement. The British premier, for his part, said his country along with the remaining signatories want to preserve the deal.
US "double standard"
The leader of Yemen’s Ansarullah Movement has accused the United States and the West of having a hypocritical approach toward Yemen. Abdul-Malik Badreddin al-Houthi said Washington and its allies are always quiet when the people of Yemen are killed with the weapons they supplied to some Arab regimes. He said, however, that those very countries express concerns when the Yemeni Army is close to liberating Ma’rib from Saudi-backed mercenaries. Houthi said the offensive on Ma’rib is aimed at deterring the enemies that have been wreaking havoc and spilling the blood of innocent civilians there for years. The Ansarullah leader also accused the United States of hatching plots to target his country, just like it did with Iraq and Afghanistan. He slammed Israel and the West for propagating the Takfiri terrorism with the aim of gaining control in the region.
Myanmar crackdown
The UN Security Council has slammed the Myanmar military crackdown on peaceful anti-coup protesters. The council's 15 member states said they strongly condemn the use of violence against the protesters, including women and children. The council also called on the military to exercise utmost restraint and emphasized that it is following the situation closely. Meanwhile, several anti-coup protesters were injured in fresh clashes with security forces in the city of Yangon. The Southeast Asian nation has been in turmoil since the military overthrew the government of Aung San Suu Chii on February 1st. The military complained of fraud in the November 2020 election.
