The FBI says it infiltrated a
militia-style group's 'Bible study' after tracking a suspect in the
Capitol riot-Sarah Al-Arshani Jul 7, 2021, 17:58 IST
The FBI says
it infiltrated a militia-style group's 'Bible study' after tracking a
suspect in the Capitol riot-Insider-Prosecutors say Fi Duong, 27,
stormed the capitol on January 6 wearing a "Japanese-style mask."
Courtesy of United States District Court of the District of ColumbiaA
man charged with storming the Capitol on January 6 is also said to have
participated in a self-styled militia that referred to its meetings as
"Bible study" and discussed surveilling the Capitol complex after the
attack.Fi Duong, 27, was released to home confinement on Friday after
facing multiple charges, including disorderly conduct and obstruction of
an official proceeding tied to the riot.In a complaint made public
Tuesday, the FBI says an undercover police officer encountered Duong at
the Capitol on the day when supporters of President Donald Trump
breached the building and clashed with law enforcement.He described
himself to the officer as an "operator," the complaint said, adding that
evidence showed he was later spotted inside the building wearing a
"Japanese-style mask."The complaint said roughly a week later the
undercover police officer connected Duong to an undercover FBI employee,
who embedded himself with Duong's group.Speaking with the FBI contact,
Duong said that he was part of a militia-like "cloak and dagger" group
that "can't be out in the open" and that his job was to find like-minded
men to prepare for a "worst-case scenario" for Virginia, the complaint
said.The complaint said that Duong sent a message to the undercover FBI
contact indicating one of "our guys" was "patrolling" outside the
Capitol and that another group member later sent a message saying he
took footage of the west and east sides of the Capitol and would upload
it to an encrypted site.On February 12, the FBI employee attended a
meeting at Duoung's house, described as a "Bible study." The group,
however, discussed only two Bible verses, the complaint said, with the
rest of the meeting spent planning other meetings and talking about
firearms and future training.The complaint did not show any charges
stemming from violence on January 6 but said Duong "repeatedly expressed
his willingness to engage in conflict, including violence, against
groups that shared different views than his own."The documents also said
he mused about freeing Capitol rioters from prison."I see that as an
opportunity," the complaint quoted him as saying. ".With every great
revolution, you go to the prisons and you break them out."So far, 545
people have been charged in the Capitol insurrection.
Herzog
expected to speak of rifts, polarization in society-Herzog to take
office as Israel’s 11th president in a day of pomp and ceremony-New
president to be sworn in on same Bible as father; Rivlin on Israelis in
letter to successor: ‘You’ll want to hug all of them. You’ll want to cry
with them and laugh with them’-By TOI staff-jul 7,21-Today, 6:43
amUpdated at 8:52 am
Isaac Herzog will take office on Wednesday
as Israel’s 11th president after a day of ceremonies with outgoing
President Reuven Rivlin.The day will start with the official unveiling
of a bust of Rivlin in the statue garden of the president’s official
residence.The sculpture was erected Monday alongside those of Rivlin’s
predecessors, two days before he completed his seven-year term.On a
plaque beneath the bust is a quote from Rivlin: “Without the ability to
listen, there is no ability to learn. Without the ability to learn,
there is no ability to repair.”During his term in office, Rivlin
consistently scored high public approval ratings, with his determination
to represent the broad spectrum of Israeli communities and his obvious
compassion resonating with the public.In the afternoon, Herzog will take
his oath of office in the Knesset. He will be sworn in on a
107-year-old Bible that has a long history in his family — the same one
that his father Chaim Herzog used when he was sworn in as president in
1983. The Bible survived both world wars and was given to his
grandmother by her father on the eve of her wedding.The new president
will then address the Knesset plenum. In his speech, Herzog is expected
to speak of the rifts and polarization in Israeli society, the ways to
repair the divides, and the tools needed to preserve Israel’s democracy,
the Ynet news site reported Wednesday.Following a toast to the
president at the Knesset, Herzog will head over to the President’s
Residence where there will be a handover ceremony with Rivlin.Waiting
for Herzog on his desk in the president’s office will be a personal
letter from Rivlin, addressed to “the president.”“The truth is I am a
little envious of you. In a short time you will discover the tremendous
privilege that has fallen to you,” Rivlin wrote in the missive.“In the
coming seven years you will meet the men and women who are citizens of
Israel. I am already telling you, you will want to hug them, all of
them. You will want to cry with them, and to laugh with them. To be
excited with them,” Rivlin wrote.Echoing themes he expressed in a 2015
speech warning against the deterioration of unity in Israeli society,
Rivlin wrote: “Among the tribes, in the shadow of the controversies and
rifts, you will find brave people who do not talk about the ‘together’,
they just live it. Day to day and hour by hour. In their homes, those on
the right and the left, Jews and Arabs, veteran [citizens] and new
immigrants, religious and traditional, young and old. People of all
faiths, sectors and ethnicities. All of them, Israelis. Beautiful,
enlightening, and generous. And what a heart they have, beyond
words.”Rivlin warned his successor of the emotional toll too, recalling
how his sleep was sometimes disturbed by thoughts of those he met who
were facing challenges in one form or another.“You will be surprised.
Fall in love. Be proud. Take things to heart,” Rivlin wrote.“Many times,
on journeys, in meetings, I thought to myself the title ‘Citizen Number
One’ was born simply because this is the number one people. Today I am
sure,” Rivlin concluded.Herzog, a former Jewish Agency chairman and
Labor party leader, won more votes in the Knesset in the election in
early June than any presidential candidate in the country’s
history.Ahead of the ceremony, Herzog prayed at the Western Wall on
Tuesday and in the note he left in the cracks of the wall, he wrote that
he will devote himself to “unity among our people and true love for
Israel.”As the 11th president of Israel, he said, he will “do everything
to make a significant contribution to our unity, a significant
contribution to calming our spirits and strengthening the lofty vision
of loving each other.”Herzog was elected on June 2 by 87 of the
Knesset’s 120 members as 11th president of Israel, a largely ceremonial
post. Miriam Peretz, a social activist and Israel Prize-winning educator
who lost two soldier sons in Israel’s wars, was backed by 26 lawmakers
in the secret ballot.Rivlin immediately phoned his successor to
congratulate him on his win.“I send you my warmest greetings, Mr.
President!” Rivlin was quoted saying in a statement. “The title of
‘first citizen’ and the task of guarding the character of the State of
Israel, particularly at this point in time, are heavy responsibilities. I
have no doubt that you will bear them superbly. I am proud to pass on
the baton to you.”A moving truck outside the president’s official
residence in Jerusalem on July 7, 2021, as current President Reuven
Rivlin is set to be replaced by Isaac Herzog (Sraya
Diamant/FLASH90)Herzog, who was opposition leader and former prime
minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s chief opponent in the 2015 general
elections, said he hoped “to be able to work with any government and
every prime minister.”Israel’s president is largely ceremonial but plays
a key role in deciding who gets the mandate to form a government
following elections. The president also has the power to pardon people
and grant clemency.In the run-up to the vote, Herzog refused to say
whether he would consider pardoning Netanyahu, who is on trial in three
corruption cases.An attorney by profession at one of the country’s top
firms (which was founded by his father), Herzog has a family history
that is as close as one comes to Israeli royalty.He is the grandson of
Israel’s first Ashkenazi chief rabbi, Isaac Herzog, for whom he is
named, and the son of former IDF major general and then president Chaim
Herzog. His brother Michael is a retired IDF brigadier general. His aunt
Suzy was the wife of former foreign minister Abba Eban.
Russia says Afghan situation can swiftly worsen, pledges help if needed-Wed, July 7, 2021, 3:26 AM
MOSCOW,
July 7 (Reuters) - Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on
Wednesday that the situation in Afghanistan had a tendency to swiftly
deteriorate and said Moscow was ready to defend its regional allies if
necessary.Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday told Emomali
Rakhmon, the president of Tajikistan, that Moscow would help the
impoverished former Soviet republic contend with the fallout from NATO's
exit from neighbouring Afghanistan if needed.Rakhmon has ordered the
mobilisation of 20,000 military reservists to bolster his country's
border with Afghanistan after more than 1,000 Afghan security personnel
fled across the frontier in response to Taliban militant
advances.Lavrov, speaking on Wednesday during a visit to Laos, said
Russia was ready to use its military base in Tajikistan, one of its
biggest abroad, to ensure the security of its allies in the region, part
of the former Soviet Union and an area where Moscow tries to retain
influence."We are closely watching what is happening in Afghanistan
where the situation has a tendency to swiftly deteriorate including
against the backdrop of the hasty exit of American and other NATO
troops," said Lavrov."They were unable to achieve visible results when
it comes to stabilising the situation during the decades they spent
there," he said.Lavrov added that military obligations that Russia had
undertaken in the framework of the Collective Security Treaty
Organisation (CSTO), a post-Soviet security bloc it leads and whose
other members include Kazakhstan, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan, remained in
full force.CSTO representatives had visited the Tajik-Afghan border,
most of which Russian officials say is reportedly under Taliban control
from the Afghan side, in order to assess the situation and report back,
Lavrov said."We will do everything we can, including using the
capabilities of the Russian military base on Tajikistan's border with
Afghanistan, to prevent any aggressive impulses towards our allies,"
Lavrov said. (Reporting by Anton Kolodyazhnyy/Alexander Marrow Editing

Associated Press-8 more dead pulled from rubble of collapsed Florida -TERRY SPENCER-Wed, July 7, 2021, 1:25 AM
SURFSIDE,
Fla. (AP) — The search for victims of the collapse of a Miami-area
high-rise condominium reached its 14th day on Wednesday, with the death
toll at three dozen, more than 100 people still unaccounted for and
authorities sounding more and more grim.Crews on Tuesday dug through
pulverized concrete where the Champlain Towers South building in
Surfside once stood, filling buckets that were passed down a line to be
emptied and then returned.The up-close look at the search, compliments
of video released by the Miami-Dade County Fire Rescue Department, came
as eight more deaths were announced — the most for a single day since
the search began. It also came as rain and wind from now Hurricane Elsa
disrupted the effort, though the storm was on track to make landfall far
across the state.Searchers have found no new signs of survivors, and
although authorities said their mission was still geared toward finding
people alive, they sounded increasingly somb“Right now, we’re in search
and rescue mode,” the county's police director, Freddy Ramirez, said at a
news conference Tuesday evening. He soon added: “Our primary goal right
now is to bring closure to the families.”No one has been rescued from
the site since the first hours after the building collapsed on June 24
when many of its residents were asleep.Searchers were still looking for
any open spaces within the mounds of rubble where additional survivors
might be found, said the county's fire chief, Alan
Cominsky.“Unfortunately, we are not seeing anything positive,” he
said.Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava said the families of the
missing were preparing for news of “tragic loss.” She said President Joe
Biden, who visited the area last week, called Tuesday to offer his
continued support.“I think everybody will be ready when it’s time to
move to the next phase,” she said.Reporters got their closest in-person
look at the site Tuesday, though it was limited to the portion of the
building that workers tore down Sunday after the initial collapse left
it standing but dangerously unstable. A pile of shattered concrete and
twisted steel stood about 30 feet (9 meters) high and spanned roughly
half the length of a football field. A pair of backhoes pulled rubble
off the pile, which blocked any view of the search effort.Severe weather
from Elsa hindered search efforts to a degree. Lightning forced
rescuers to pause their work for two hours early Tuesday, Assistant Fire
Chief Raide Jadallah said. And winds of 20 mph (32 kph), with stronger
gusts, hampered efforts to move heavy debris with cranes, officials
said.However, the storm’s heaviest winds and rain would bypass Surfside
and neighboring Miami as Elsa strengthened along its path to an expected
landfall somewhere between Tampa Bay and Florida’s Big Bend.Crews have
removed 124 tons (112 metric tonnes) of debris from the site, Cominsky
said. The debris was being sorted and stored in a warehouse as potential
evidence in the investigation into why the building collapsed,
officials said.Workers have been freed to search a broader area since
the unstable remaining portion of the building was demolished.

Iran says it has further enriched its uranium, drawing
widespread condemnation-Caitlin McFall, Dana Karni-Tue, July 6, 2021,
7:10 PM
Iran has taken steps to enrich uranium metal to a 20
percent purity and manufacture nuclear reactor fuel, the United Nation’s
top nuclear watchdog announced Tuesday.With the use of
"indigenously-produced uranium" Iran will reportedly use fuel to supply
the Tehran Research Reactor, but the U.S. and allied nations have called
the move "worrying."US-IRAN NUCLEAR DEAL STALEMATE A
‘MISTRUST-AND-VERIFY SITUATION,’ FORMER CIA CHIEF SAYS-State Department
spokesperson Ned Price said it was "another unfortunate step backwards"
as the U.S. has engaged in indirect talks on nuclear nonproliferation
with Iran since April.Price told reporters Tuesday that the move will
not give Iran any leverage as the U.S. seeks to re-establish a nuclear
agreement with the Middle Eastern nation, and said the "window for
diplomacy remains open."Under the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action
(JCPOA) -- which Donald Trump pulled the U.S. out of in 2018 -- Iran is
not permitted to enrich uranium past a 3.67 percent purity threshold,
which is all that is needed to power a commercial-grade power plant,
according to the Arms Control Association.But International Atomic
Energy Agency (IAEA) Director-General Rafael Mariano Grossi said Tuesday
that Iran had breached the regulation."Today, Iran informed the Agency
that UO2 [uranium dioxide] enriched up to 20 percent U–235 would be
shipped to the R&D laboratory at the Fuel Fabrication Plant in
Esfahan, where it would be converted to UF4 [Uranium tetrafluoride] and
then to uranium metal-enriched to 20% U–235, before using it to
manufacture the fuel," an IAEA spokesman said in a statement to Fox
News.Uranium-235 can be used to fuel nuclear power plants and nuclear
reactors that run naval ships, according to the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention. But it can also be used for nuclear weapons –
prompting concern from Western nations.In a unified statement condemning
Iran’s plan, foreign ministers from France, Germany, and the United
Kingdom called the move "concerning" and an "escalation of its nuclear
violations."Iran has no credible civilian need for uranium metal R&D
and production, which are a key step in the development of a nuclear
weapon," the group said."We strongly urge Iran to halt all activities in
violation of the JCPoA, without delay and to return to the negotiations
in Vienna with a view to bringing them to a swift conclusion," the
foreign ministers continued. "Iran is threatening a successful outcome
to the Vienna talks despite the progress achieved in six rounds of
negotiations to date."There are no set plans for direct talks between
the U.S. and Iran.Price said the U.S. is not pushing Iran on a hard
deadline when it comes to the negotiating table but said the
administration is continuing to assess the situation.Professor Eyal
Zisser of Tel-Aviv University and former head of the Moshe Dayan Center
for Middle Eastern and African Studies told Fox News this announcement
"is part of the Iranian game to put pressure on the United States and to
get a better deal."Zisser explained that the Iranians can feel how much
Washington wants the deal, so they are adding pressure and creating a
crisis to get a better deal.Rich Edson contributed to this report.
Associated Press-European powers decry latest nuclear move by Iran-Tue, July 6, 2021, 3:58 PM
BERLIN
(AP) — Germany, France and Britain are voicing “grave concern” over a
further move by Iran that they say is a serious violation of its
commitments under the 2015 nuclear deal with world powers, warning that
it threatens the outcome of talks aimed at bringing the United States
back into the agreement.The three European powers' foreign ministers
issued a joint statement Tuesday over a report by the International
Atomic Energy Agency, the U.N. nuclear watchdog, that Iran intends to
produce enriched uranium metal.Since then-President Donald Trump pulled
the U.S. out of the agreement in 2018, Iran has gradually been violating
its restrictions to put pressures on the remaining parties — the three
European nations, Russia and China — to come up with economic incentives
to offset crippling American sanctions.Among other things, Tehran has
started enriching uranium to well above the purity allowed under the
agreement. It has also been spinning advanced centrifuges, producing
uranium metal and stockpiling more uranium than allowed.Uranium metal
can also be used for a nuclear bomb, and research on its production is
specifically prohibited under the nuclear deal. The IAEA already said in
February that its inspectors had confirmed that Iran has begun the
production of uranium metal.The IAEA said Director-General Rafael Grossi
informed the agency's board of governors that Iran now intends to use
uranium enriched up to 20% in making fuel for its Tehran Research
Reactor and that “in doing so, as part of a multi-stage process,” it
will also produce uranium metal enriched up to 20%.Iran on Tuesday told
the agency that the enriched uranium will be shipped to the research and
development lab at its Isfahan fuel fabrication plant, where it will be
converted to uranium tetrafluoride and then to enriched uranium metal
before being used to manufacture fuel, the IAEA said.The European
foreign ministers said of Tehran's latest step that “Iran has no
credible civilian need for uranium metal (research and development) and
production, which are a key step in the development of a nuclear
weapon.”They said it was “all the more concerning” given that no date
has been set for the resumption of negotiations in Vienna aimed at
bringing the U.S. back into the nuclear deal and Iran back into full
compliance, and that Iran has “significantly curtailed” IAEA access.“We
have repeatedly stressed that time is on no-one’s side,” the statement
said. “With its latest steps, Iran is threatening a successful outcome
to the Vienna talks despite the progress achieved in six rounds of
negotiations to date.”The 2015 accord is aimed at preventing Iran from
developing nuclear weapons. Tehran denies it is seeking such an arsenal.
Final
countdown-Iran’s doomsday clock for Israel’s end halts amid power
cuts-Public timer, which is set to mark destruction of Jewish state in
2040 as predicted by Khamenei, reportedly stops working amid rolling
blackouts that are crippling Iranian life-By TOI staff and AP Today,
9:37 am
A clock in Iran that counts down to the destruction of
Israel has reportedly ceased working as power cuts sweep through the
nation.According to former Al-Monitor journalist Asaad Hanna in a tweet
on Monday, the “countdown to Israel’s annihilation clock” stopped
displaying following a power outage.The clock was unveiled in 2017,
counting down to 2040, which is when Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali
Khamenei predicts there will no longer be a State of Israel.In recent
days, the regular blackouts in Iran have spread chaos and confusion on
the streets of the capital, Tehran, and other cities, knocking out
traffic lights, shutting factories, disrupting telecommunications and

2021-Iran’s outgoing president apologized Tuesday for the blackouts that
have crippled businesses and darkened homes for hours a day.In a
government meeting broadcast live on state TV, President Hassan Rouhani
acknowledged that chronic power outages over the past week have caused
Iranians “plenty of pain” and expressed contrition in an unusually
personal speech.“My apologies to dear people who have faced these
problems and pain,” he said.Officials have blamed the outages on the
country’s stifling heat, escalating electricity demand and deepening
drought that has threatened to snuff out hydroelectric generation.Power
demand has peaked in recent days at 66,000 megawatts, surpassing the
country’s practical generating capacity of 65,000 megawatts. Companies
can actually provide people with even less electricity, closer to 55,000
megawatts — in large part because the aging, sanctions-hit electrical
infrastructure leaves power plants prone to repeated technical
failures.Former US president Donald Trump in 2018 pulled out a nuclear
deal between Iran and world powers, then reimposed tough sanctions on
the Islamic Republic that have ravaged the Iranian economy. Talks in
Vienna in recent months sponsored by European partners to the 2015
nuclear pact have been focused on getting the US to return to the deal
and Iran to recommit to limitations on its nuclear program.Last month,
Iran’s sole nuclear power plant underwent an unprecedented emergency
shutdown. The facility in the southern port city of Bushehr returned
online over the weekend after engineers said they repaired a broken
generator.Electricity facilities have not been properly maintained, and a
lack of spare parts has complicated the construction of new plants to
keep up with the country’s runaway growth. Over the last two decades,
modest apartment blocks and local markets have become high-rises,
residential complexes and colossal shopping malls all humming with
air-conditioners.While power cuts during the sweltering summer heat
happen sporadically in Iran, the lack of recent rainfall has compounded
the country’s electrical problems. Rouhani said precipitation had
decreased by almost 50% in the last year, leaving dams with dwindling
water supplies to fuel the country. Hydroelectric power generation has
plummeted to 7,000 megawatts, Rouhani said, down from an estimated
average of 12,000 megawatts in recent years.
Associated Press-China wants cross-border aid and sanctions relief for Syria-EDITH M. LEDERER-Tue, July 6, 2021, 6:57 PM
UNITED
NATIONS (AP) — China said Tuesday it wants the U.N. Security Council to
not only extend humanitarian aid deliveries to Syria from neighboring
countries but to tackle the impact of Western sanctions and the need to
expand deliveries across conflict lines.His comments came as the 15
council nations have just four days left before the mandate for
cross-border aid expires.Chinese Ambassador Zhang Jun told reporters
after closed briefings to the council and a discussion among members on a
draft resolution to continue cross-border deliveries that he hopes
“with more diplomatic efforts we can find a solution” -- not just on
cross-border aid.“For China, definitely we want to see a solution
concerning unilateral sanctions, concerning cross-lines, concerning the
transparency of the cross-border. Not just talking about cross-border
but about the general situation in Syria,” Zhang said.In early July
2020, China and Russia vetoed a U.N. resolution that would have
maintained two border crossing points from Turkey to deliver
humanitarian aid to Syria’s mainly rebel-held northwest. Days later,
under pressure from both countries, the council authorized the delivery
of aid through just one of those crossings, Bab an-Hawa. The one-year
mandate for using that crossing expires Saturday.U.S. Ambassador Linda
Thomas-Greenfield warned after Tuesday’s council meeting that Bab
al-Hawa “is a lifeline to millions of people” in northwestern Syria’s
Idlib region and if the crossing is closed, “I think the repercussions
are obvious: people will starve to death.”Echoing U.N. Secretary-General
Antonio Guterres, many Western diplomats and humanitarian groups
working in Syria, Thomas-Greenfield said there is no substitute for
delivering U.N. aid across borders from other countries rather than
moving aid across conflict lines within Syria.“Cross-line aid alone
cannot meet the needs of the Syrians -- needs that have only risen in
the past year with COVID,” she said.“We have offered to support
expanding cross-line aid, and we will continue to do so in good faith,”
she said. “In fact, we have put forward a serious and credible proposal
to expand humanitarian assistance across Syria -- including cross-line
and cross-border, including urgent COVID relief -- to meet the urgent
needs of the Syrian people.”Responding to a question about the comments
from China’s ambassador and whether the U.S. is prepared to offer any
concessions on sanctions, Thomas-Greenfield replied: “This is not a
discussion about sanctions. It’s a question of humanitarian needs.”The
ambassador, who visited Bab al-Hawa last month, said the U.S. sanctions
target only Syrian President Bashar Assad’s regime, while U.S.
humanitarian assistance is for all Syrians, in both
government-controlled and rebel-held areas.During the debate over the
cross-border resolution a year ago, Russia raised the issue of U.S. and
European Union sanctions on its close ally Syria and their negative
impact on Syria’s humanitarian situation. The U.S. and EU vehemently
objected to the allegations, insisting their sanctions provide
humanitarian exemptions.Two weeks ago, Russian Ambassador Vassily
Nebenzia told the Security Council that aid moving across conflict lines
within Syria “is the only legitimate option for a humanitarian
operation to deliver assistance.” He accused Western nations of wasting
the past year that could have been used “to find a seamless and
constructive solution and an optimal balance of Idlib’s procurement
through both Bab al-Hawa and domestic channels.”Nebenzia also said U.S.
and EU sanctions put “a heavy burden” on every Syrian, saying: “You blow
the whistle regarding humanitarian access while pretending that the
problem of Syria’s suffocation with sanctions does not exist.”Russia’s
deputy U.N. ambassador, Dmitry Polyansky, told reporters after Tuesday’s
meeting that Russia maintains “the same position as expressed
previously.”The Security Council approved four border crossings when aid
deliveries began in 2014, three years after the start of the Syrian
conflict. But in January 2020, Russia used its veto threat in the
council first to limit aid deliveries to two border crossings in the
northwest, and then last July to cut to one.The council is now
negotiating on a draft resolution proposed by Ireland and Norway that
would maintain the Bab al-Hawa crossing and reopen the Al-Yaroubiya
border crossing from Iraq to Syria’s mainly Kurdish-controlled
northeast.Last week, Nebenzia called the proposal to reopen Al-Yaroubiya
“a non-starter.”French Ambassador Nicolas De Riviere, the current
council president, warned that if humanitarian aid deliveries are
allowed only across conflict lines -- and not from neighboring countries
-- Western nations that provide 92% of humanitarian relief will stop
the funding.Robert S. Ford, a senior fellow at the Washington-based
Middle East Institute, said in a briefing circulated Tuesday that
“Moscow’s key consideration ahead of the vote is its relationship with
Ankara.” He said the Turkish government, which supports the Syrian
opposition, wants to avoid an enormous refugee rush from northwest Syria
if the cross-border operation ends.Russia has been cooperating with
Turkey in the so-called Astana process aimed at ending the fighting in
Syria while it plays on “Turkish dissatisfaction with American policy to
weaken NATO unity,” Ford said.“The Russians are considering the cost of
an aid veto that would encourage the Turks to move farther and faster
toward a rapprochement with the United States,” he said.Ford said Russia
might accept an extension of cross-border aid deliveries “in return for
reductions in Western sanctions,” clamping down on armed opposition
groups in northwest Syria, and launching aid convoys from Damascus to
Idlib.
Analysis-Egypt uses military to send firm message to newly
conciliatory Turkey-Despite quiet talks between the two rivals, base
opening and military exercises show Sissi not ready to accept Erdogan’s
overtures-By Lazar Berman-JUL 07,21Today, 12:01 pm
Egypt sent a
firm message to its regional rival Turkey this week, flexing its
military might even as it engages in steps meant to calm tensions
between the two Sunni powers.Egypt’s message was designed to address
both major flashpoints between the two countries. Cairo fought a proxy
war with Turkey in Libya in 2014-2020, and hosts a regional gas forum
designed to counter Turkish moves in the eastern Mediterranean.For the
better part of a decade, Turkey has been engaged in a bitter rivalry
with Egypt that began when Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan backed
the Muslim Brotherhood after the group was ousted from power in Cairo
when Sissi took over in 2013.Erdogan called Sissi a tyrant and submitted
a formal request to the United Nations Security Council to have him
recognized as a war criminal. Egypt expelled Turkey’s ambassador in
Cairo and recalled its own from Ankara.The rivalry between the Sunni
Muslim powers has metastasized into other areas and split the Middle
East, with Turkey and Qatar leading a pro-Islamist faction, and Egypt
siding with Saudi Arabia and the UAE in a pro-Western camp.In the
Mediterranean, Egypt has aligned itself with Greece and Cyprus, which
accuse Turkey of illegally drilling for natural gas in their exclusive
economic zones. Together with Israel, the countries formed the EastMed
Gas Forum, headquartered in Cairo, and they have conducted joint
military exercises.Members of the self-proclaimed eastern Libyan
National Army (LNA) special forces gather in the city of Benghazi, on
their way to reportedly back up fellow LNA fighters on the frontline
west of the city of Sirte, facing forces loyal to the UN-recognised
Government of National Accord (GNA), on June 18, 2020. (Photo by
Abdullah DOMA / AFP)-On Saturday, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah
el-Sissi opened a strategic naval base on the Mediterranean Sea to
“secure shipping lines,” according to the presidency.The base lies some
255 kilometers (160 miles) west of Alexandria, toward the border with
Libya, a country in which both Egypt and the United Arab Emirates have
played a key military role backing Khalifa Haftar’s Libyan National
Army. Turkey back the Government of National Accord, the opposing side
in the 2014-2020 civil war.The ceremony, not coincidentally, was
attended by the powerful crown prince of Abu Dhabi, Sheikh Mohammed bin
Zayed Al-Nahyan.“It is the latest Egyptian military base on the
Mediterranean, and will be focused on securing the country’s northern
and western front,” Sissi said in a statement.The opening coincides with
the eighth anniversary of Sissi leading the military ouster of Islamist
president Mohamed Morsi.The proxy war in Libya looked as if it could
turn into a direct confrontation between the powers, when Sissi called
the Libyan city of Sirte a “red line” and threatened direct military
force if Turkish-backed forces attacked it.The civil war ended with a
ceasefire in October 2020, and both Turkey and Egypt back the political
process.Turkey and Egypt are also at odds over resource control in the
eastern Mediterranean. Ankara has been aggressively asserting its
maritime rights, enabled by its support for the GNA in Libya. In 2019,
Turkey signed a maritime demarcation agreement with the government in
Libya, claiming rights to waters Cyprus and Greece see as their own.In
September 2020, Ankara upped the ante by sending a vessel, accompanied
by warships, to survey for oil and gas in waters claimed by Greece. At
one point, according to Reuters, Greek and Turkish warships collided.In
response, Egypt and Greece signed a maritime border agreement that is
rejected by Turkey.In 2020, the Eastern Mediterranean Gas Forum was
formally launched, which includes rivals of Turkey like Israel, Greece,
Cyprus and France. The EMGF, hosted in Cairo, is understood as an
anti-Turkey alliance.Qader 2021-Egypt’s military exercise this week is
designed to send a warning about Egypt’s readiness to defend its
interests at sea.On Sunday, Egypt’s Defense Ministry released a video of
the Qader 2021 exercise, taking place at the July 3 base. The video
stressed that the base helps Egypt protect its natural resources in its
territorial waters, a clear message to Erdogan.The message to Turkey is
that Egypt has a capable, advanced military that will defend its waters
and its vision of becoming a regional energy hub.The January 2020 Qader
exercise took place a week after Erdogan announced his intention to send
Turkish troops to Libya.Turkey needs friends-After a decade of
assertive behavior and speech from Erdogan, global and regional shifts
have pushed Ankara’s back against the wall. Isolated from Europe and
many Arab states, it is facing an unfriendly White House and a US
president who dislikes Erdogan personally, while its economy continues
to get buffeted by the pandemic.Turkey’s tone and policies have changed
in recent months, which includes overtures to Egypt. The two sides have
held quiet intelligence and diplomatic talks, and Erdogan said in March
that he hopes the reconciliation process with Egypt grows much stronger,
and that Egypt and Turkey are natural allies.At the same time, Ankara
asked Egyptian opposition television channels in Turkey to tone down
their criticism of Sissi and the Egyptian government in a sign that it
is eager for reconciliation.Turkey even stayed quiet in June when Egypt
upheld the death penalty for 12 senior Muslim Brotherhood members for
the 2013 killing of protesters.Egypt, on the other hand, has been more
circumspect. Egypt’s Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry acknowledged the
talks but stressed that progress depends on “real change in Turkish
policy.”“Words are not enough, they must be matched by deeds,” he
cautioned.Egypt is still not ready to accept Turkey’s overtures, and is
instead countering with displays of military force.Israel, too, has been
cold to Turkish attempts to rekindle ties. With new diplomatic and
security relationships with Arab states, Israel likely won’t engage with
Turkey until Ankara shuts down Hamas activity in the country, is
transparent about its activities in East Jerusalem, and ends its harsh
anti-Israel rhetoric.
In NIS 100m deal, navy buys four new patrol
ships from Israeli firm-This is the first purchase of vessels from a
domestic shipyard in 15 years; Shaldag-model ships to take part in
operations along the coast-By Judah Ari Gross-jul 07,21-Today, 11:38 am
For
the first time in 15 years, the Defense Ministry agreed to purchase
four new ships for the Israeli Navy from a domestic shipyard on
Wednesday in a NIS 100 million ($30.6 million) deal.The 32.5-meter
(106.6-foot) Shaldag 5-class ships will take part in patrol operations
along the Israeli coast and will be outfitted with a variety of
offensive and defensive capabilities, the Defense Ministry said.A
ministry spokesperson said the ships were due to be delivered in stages
over the next four years.The deal, which was announced on Wednesday
following months of deliberation by the navy, marked the first purchase
of new naval vessels from a domestic firm — Israel Shipyards Ltd. — in
some 15 years. The other ships purchased during this period were all
made by foreign companies, most recently Germany’s Thyssenkrupp, which
is building four large Sa’ar 6-class missile ships for the navy.“I
applaud this agreement which has both security and societal importance.
The Shaldag ships will allow the Israeli Navy to upgrade its
capabilities, which are developing on the battlefield, as we saw clearly
during Operation Guardian of the Walls,” Defense Minister Benny Gantz
said Wednesday, referring to May’s 11-day Gaza conflict.“The purchase of
Israeli-made ships demonstrates the strengthening of Israel’s defense
industries,” he added.The 95-ton patrol ships have a top speed of 40
knots and will “give the navy the ability to respond to the threats
developing on the naval front in the coming years,” the Defense Ministry
said.The chairman of Israel Shipyards, Sami Katzav, hailed the deal,
saying the purchase signified a vote of confidence in its abilities.“We
are proud to serve the navy and the State of Israel’s Defense Ministry.
This significant order represents a seal of approval for the quality and
professionalism of the company as a provider of advanced naval vessels
to countries and security forces around the world,” Katzav said.
Associated Press-Bases housing U.S. troops in Iraq, Syria attacked, 3 injured-Wed, July 7, 2021, 6:52 AM
BAGHDAD
(AP) — U.S.-backed Syrian fighters and American troops foiled an attack
with drones Wednesday on a base housing members of the U.S.-led
coalition in eastern Syria, the Syrian Democratic Forces said. In
neighboring Iraq rockets hit a base housing U.S. troops, inflicting
three minor injuries.The spokesman for the U.S.-led coalition Col. Wayne
Marotto said that at around 12:30 p.m. Al-Assad Air Base in western
Iraq was attacked by 14 rockets that landed on the base and perimeter.
He said that Force Protection defensive measures were activated, adding
that “at this time initial reports indicate 3 minor injuries. Damage is
being assessed.”He did not say whether those injured were Americans.In
Syria, the U.S.-backed and Kurdish-led SDF said in a statement that
drones were used in the attack on the al-Omar oil field in Syria's
eastern province of Deir el-Zour. It added that the attack was foiled
and more details will be released later in the day.Tension has been on
the rise between U.S. troops and Iran-backed fighters after American
airstrikes on eastern Syria killed six Iraqi fighters late last month in
areas along the Syria-Iraq border.Wednesday's attack occurred at around
10:15 a.m. the SDF said adding that "early reports confirm that the
attack was foiled and did not cause any damages.”Al-Omar base was
attacked with two rockets over the weekend without inflicting any
casualties, according to the SDF and Syrian opposition activist. The
U.S. military denied there were any attacks on Sunday.The Britain-based
Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, an opposition war monitor, said the
drones took off from areas controlled by Iran-backed fighters in the
eastern Syrian town of Mayadeen. It added that the drones were shot
down.Drone attacks against the U.S.-led coalition in Syria have been
largely uncommon.Hundreds of U.S. troops are stationed in northeastern
Syria, working with the SDF to fight against the Islamic State
group.Thousands of Iran-backed militiamen from around the Middle East
are deployed in different parts of Syria, many of them in areas along
the border with Iraq.The leader of an Iran-backed Iraqi militia vowed on
Monday to retaliate against America for the deaths of four of his men
in a U.S. airstrike along the Iraq-Syria border last month. Abu Alaa
al-Walae, commander of Kataib Sayyid al-Shuhada said the attack will be a
military operation everyone will talk about.The U.S. has blamed
Iran-backed militias for attacks — most of them rocket strikes — that
have targeted the American presence in Baghdad and military bases across
Iraq. More recently, the attacks have become more sophisticated, with
militants using drones.Late Tuesday, the counter-terrorism unit in
Iraq’s northern Kurdish-run region reported a drone attack on Irbil
airport, near where U.S. forces are based. The statement by the
counter-terrorism unit said the attack caused no damage, though the
missiles fell in open fields and set fires.

accuses Israel of June attack on civilian nuclear site-In this photo
released by the official website of the office of the Iranian
Presidency, cabinet spokesman Ali Rabiei speaks at his weekly press
briefing in Tehran, Iran, Tuesday, July 6, 2021. Rabiei on Tuesday
accused Israel of a sabotage attack in June that reportedly targeted a
civilian nuclear facility near Tehran, the official IRNA news agency
reported. (Iranian Presidency Office via AP)-ISABEL DEBRE and NASSER
KARIMI-Tue, July 6, 2021, 5:56 AM
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates
(AP) — Iran accused Israel on Tuesday of mounting a sabotage attack on a
nuclear facility near Tehran last month, the country's state-run news
agency reported as authorities acknowledged for the first time that the
mysterious assault had caused structural damage to the site.Authorities
announced in late June that they had prevented saboteurs from attacking a
site located in Karaj, a city about 40 kilometers (25 miles) northwest
of the Iranian capital. They gave no details about what the targeted
building belonging to the Iran’s Atomic Energy Agency contained, or how
it was targeted. The sudden admission last month came just days after
the election victory of the country's hard-line judiciary chief, Ebrahim
Raisi, and followed a series of other attacks on Iran's nuclear
program, including the killing of a top nuclear scientist. At the time,
officials stressed that the attack had caused no casualties or damage.
But Cabinet spokesman Ali Rabiei revised that account Tuesday,
confessing to damage inflicted on the building's ceiling.“A hole
appeared on ceiling of one of the industrial sheds, so the roof was
removed for repairs,” Rabiei said, seeking to explain satellite images
of the site widely circulated online that appeared to show the roof's
abrupt removal following the reported attack. Rabiei acknowledged the
images were taken when the roof was removed for restoration. “Damage to
equipment was not remarkable," he added, without elaborating. The
allegedly foiled attack last month came amid a flurry of diplomatic
activity, as diplomats in Vienna struggle to resurrect Tehran's
now-tattered 2015 nuclear deal with world powers, which put curbs on its
enrichment activities in return for relief from U.S. sanctions. Former
President Donald Trump withdrew America from the landmark accord three
years ago. That prompted Iran to gradually abandon the deal's limits on
uranium enrichment, setting off a series of tense incidents in the
Mideast. To exert pressure on the West for sanctions relief, Iran is now
enriching uranium to 60%, its highest ever levels, although still short
of weapons grade 90%. Rabiei on Tuesday accused Israeli saboteurs of
seeking to derail the nuclear negotiations in Vienna, state-run IRNA
news agency reported. “The Zionist regime carried out these actions to
signal it can stop Iran and to say that there is no need to talk with
Iran,” he said. “But whenever sabotage has happened, our strength has
increased.” There was no immediate comment on the accusation from
Israel, which has not claimed responsibility for any of the alleged
attacks on Iran's nuclear program in recent months. Israel fiercely
opposed the 2015 deal, which then-Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
condemned as a “historic mistake.” In recent weeks, however, Israel's
new government has struck a softer tone. Israeli Foreign Minister Yair
Lapid told his American counterpart that Israel had “serious
reservations” about the accord under discussion in Vienna but that the
country would engage constructively and make its objections privately.
Little is known about the reported assault in Karaj, located near
various industrial sites, including pharmaceutical production facilities
where Iran has manufactured its domestic coronavirus vaccine. Social
media in Iran had crackled with unconfirmed reports that an unmanned
aerial drone had targeted the facility. But the latest attack came at a
sensitive time for Iran, in the midst of a political transition and on
the precipice of a return to the historic nuclear deal.The country has,
meanwhile, struggled to stem what it describes as an Israeli-led
campaign against its nuclear program. Earlier this year, Iran’s
underground Natanz nuclear facility experienced a mysterious blackout
that damaged some of its centrifuges. Last July, unexplained fires
struck the advanced centrifuge assembly plant at Natanz, which
authorities later described as sabotage. Iran is now rebuilding that
facility deep inside a nearby mountain. Iran also blamed Israel for the
November killing of a scientist who began the country’s military nuclear
program decades earlier.___Karimi reported from Tehran, Iran.

Miami Herald-Tropical Storm Elsa is moving along Florida
coast. When and where will it make landfall? Michelle Marchante-Wed,
July 7, 2021, 7:29 AM
Hurricane Elsa weakened into a tropical
storm overnight and is forecast to make landfall in Florida
Wednesday.The storm, which was moving north almost parallel with
Florida’s west coast, is now approaching the northern Florida Gulf
Coast, spreading heavy rains and gusty winds inland across the state,
according to the National Hurricane Center’s 8 a.m. advisory.Here’s what
to know:Where is Elsa? Elsa was about 35 miles west of Cedar Key and
about 115 miles northwest of Tampa, as of the 8 a.m. advisory.The storm
was moving north near 14 mph with maximum sustained winds near 65 mph
with higher gusts. Its tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to
90 miles from the center.Where is Elsa going? How strong will it be?
While Elsa is forecast to see little change in strength before landfall,
there is still a chance that the storm might see a short-lived
re-intensification, the hurricane center said. Because of this, a
hurricane warning remains in effect for portions of Florida’s west
coast.On the forecast track, Tropical Storm Elsa is expected to move
near or over portions of Florida’s west coast before making landfall
Wednesday, late morning or sometime in the afternoon, somewhere in the
northern Florida Gulf Coast. The storm should then see some weakening as
it moves inland, the hurricane center said.The storm is forecast to
then move across the southeast and Mid-Atlantic states through Thursday.
The system is expected to become extratropical by the time it reaches
the Canadian Maritimes in 72 hours.Besides tropical-storm force winds,
forecasters expect western and northern portions of Florida to see
between three to six inches of rain with isolated areas possibly seeing
up to nine inches of rain Wednesday. This could cause flash and urban
flooding and minor to isolated moderate river flooding.Tornadoes are
also possible across west-central to north Florida into Wednesday
afternoon. There is also a risk of life-threatening surf and rip current
conditions across portions of the Keys and Florida’s west coast. There
is also a risk of storm surge. A storm surge warning is in effect for
Florida’s west coast from Bonita Beach to the Aucilla River, including
Tampa Bay, with 3 to 5 feet of water possible, according to the
hurricane center. ? Hurricane warning in effect for the west coast of
Florida from Chassahowitzka to the Steinhatchee River ? Tropical storm
warning is in effect for Florida’s west coast from south of
Chassahowitzka to the middle of Longboat Key. Warnings are also in
effect north of the Steinhatchee River to Ochlockonee River and for the
Mouth of St. Marys River, Georgia to Little River Inlet, South
Carolina.? Tropical storm watch in effect north of Little River Inlet,
South Carolina to Chincoteague, Virginia. Watches also in effect for
Pamlico and Albemarle Sounds.? Storm surge warning in effect for the
west coast of Florida from the middle of Longboat Key to the Aucilla
River, including Tampa Bay.? Storm surge watch in effect west of the
Aucilla River to the Ochlockonee River.This article will be updated.
