Why did Iran claim to attack an abandoned US garrison in Syria? - analysis

On July 17, Iran claimed it attacked a US command center in Tanf, Syria, though the US and Syrian sources denied any attack or casualties occurred at the apparently abandoned site. This claim is interpreted as Iran sending a message to Syria and its new government to allow continued weapons smuggling to Hezbollah via Syria, amid broader challenges to Iranian influence in Iraq.

Former EU top diplomat denounces ICC bureau’s disregard for judicial findings on Karim Khan

Former EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell denounced the International Criminal Court's Assembly of States Parties (ASP) bureau for planning a "political vote" on Prosecutor Karim Khan's future on July 24, despite a judicial panel finding insufficient evidence of misconduct. Borrell argued this move, which he claims ignores judicial findings and follows US sanctions and threats against Khan, is part of an effort to weaken the court by its own member states.
