Hezbollah denounces Israel’s attack on Iran as dangerous escalation

The Lebanese Islamist movement Hezbollah condemned Israel’s attack on Iran as a “dangerous escalation” in the region, asserting that the United States bears “full responsibility.”

“Hezbollah strongly condemns the treacherous Zionist aggression against the Islamic Republic of Iran and considers it a dangerous escalation for the entire region,” the pro-Iranian group stated in a release.

Hezbollah further stated that the United States “holds all responsibility for the massacres, tragedies, and pain” caused by its ally Israel.

On Saturday, Israel publicly announced for the first time that it had attacked Iran, conducting “precision strikes” against military targets in retaliation for the missile fire launched by Tehran against its territory earlier this month.

The Lebanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs also condemned the Israeli attacks, labeling them as a “violation of Iran’s sovereignty and a serious threat to regional security,” urging the UN Security Council to “put an end to Israel’s military escalation.”

Hezbollah opened a front against Israel in October 2023 to support its ally Hamas in the war in Gaza, triggered by a deadly attack by the Palestinian Islamist movement on Israeli soil on October 7 of that year.

On September 23, Israel shifted the bulk of its military operations to the Lebanese front to combat Hezbollah, initially launching an aerial campaign and, a week later, commencing a ground operation in southern Lebanon.

Thirteen cuban military members missing after explosion at arms warehouse

Thirteen members of the Cuban Revolutionary Armed Forces (FAR) have been reported “missing” following an explosion at an arms and ammunition warehouse in the eastern part of the island, the military institution announced.

“As a result of the explosions at an arms and ammunition warehouse in the Melones community… in the province of Holguín, 730 km east of Havana,” two officers, two non-commissioned officers, and nine soldiers are reported as “missing,” according to a statement from the Ministry of the Armed Forces released by Cuban state television.

The statement specified that “investigations are still ongoing at the site,” which led to the evacuation of more than 1,200 residents from areas near the warehouse of a military unit where “aged ammunition was being classified.”

Neither the official press nor Cuban state television have provided images of the explosions at the military unit, but independent media outlets published photos online showing a massive column of smoke and police officers deployed in the streets of the Melones community.

Trump considers declaring National Economic Emergency to justify universal tariffs

U.S. President-elect Donald Trump may be considering declaring a national economic emergency in order to justify implementing a package of universal tariffs on both allied and adversary countries, according to CNN.

The proclamation of these measures would grant the incoming U.S. president the freedom to create a new tariff program using the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA).

This move would give the president the authority to manage imports during a national emergency.

According to the report, Trump has a penchant for this law as it provides broad jurisdiction on how tariffs are implemented without strict requirements to prove they are necessary for national security reasons.

Venezuelan opposition candidate Enrique Márquez detained ahead of Maduro’s inauguration

Enrique Márquez, a minority opposition candidate in Venezuela’s July 28 elections, was “arbitrarily detained,” denounced a political coalition he is part of and his wife, who described the action as “kidnapping.”

Since Tuesday night, there has been a wave of reports of detentions, with at least a dozen arrests just over 48 hours before President Nicolás Maduro’s inauguration for a third six-year term, following a controversial reelection.

“We inform that yesterday, 07.01.25, Enrique Márquez was arbitrarily detained,” stated the Popular Democratic Front (FDP).

“He was kidnapped by paramilitary groups who, using force as their law, aim to silence and intimidate those of us who want a better country and have a different vision,” said his wife, Sonia Lugo de Márquez, on the leader’s X account.
