‘Sixty seconds, that’s all it took’: the clinical Israeli-US operation to kill Ali Khamenei

(March 1, 2026)

The timing of the assassination was determined by information the CIA gleaned about a meeting of top Iranian officials at a leadership compound in the heart of Tehran scheduled for Saturday morning. Most critically, the CIA was able to tell Israeli counterparts that Khamenei would be at the site and the timing of the meeting, according to the New York Times.

Israeli spies had also been tracking Khamenei for many years, building a minutely detailed file on his daily routine and those of his family members, associates, allies and those charged with keeping him safe.

U.S. Officials Believed Israel Was Plotting to Kill Iranian Negotiators

Fearful that an Israeli assassination effort would doom the negotiations, the United States, according to some of the officials, went so far as to ask other countries in the region to warn Iran about the possibility Israel could target the two officials.

U.S. officials acknowledged that during the intense phase of the war, Mr. Araghchi and Mr. Ghalibaf, as senior government officials, could have been legitimate targets for Israel, which was intent on toppling Iran’s hard-line government. But after the negotiations started in earnest in April, American officials believed that any attempt to kill the Iranian leaders would end the talks and reignite the fighting.

Exclusive: ICC prosecutors shelved RSF arrest warrant as Sudan atrocities mounted

The International Criminal Court‘s prosecutor’s office has not applied for a single arrest warrant over crimes committed in Sudan‘s Darfur region since the country‘s devastating war began in April 2023, despite more than three years of investigation and repeated public assurances that charges were imminent, Middle East Eye can reveal.

(…)

For more than a year after Khan‘s leave of absence in May 2025, the prosecution did not provide any explanation to the pretrial chamber regarding the late application.

(…)

The deputy prosecutor, who is currently in charge of the Darfur investigation, has yet to provide a timeline for any other arrest warrants, MEE understands.

Pour la suspension de l’accord d’association UE-Israël et la fin de la complicité de l’Europe dans le génocide en Palestine

(January 13, 2026)

Notre demande est simple : l’Union européenne doit mettre un terme au commerce et à sa coopération privilégiée avec Israël en suspendant totalement l’accord d’association !

Avec ses partenaires de l’Alliance de Gauche européenne et en lien avec les associations, ONG, syndicats mobilisés contre le génocide en Palestine, la France insoumise lance une Initiative Citoyenne Européenne (ICE) pour obliger la Commission européenne à enfin agir.

Pour aboutir, elle doit recueillir au moins 1 million de signatures dans au moins 7 pays de l’UE. Récemment, des initiatives initiatives européennes pour garantir le droit à l’avortement partout en Europe et pour interdire les thérapies de conversion contre les personnes LGBTI ont récolté suffisamment de signatures pour contraindre la Commission européenne à se saisir du sujet. Nous pouvons faire de même pour la Palestine !

Face à l’horreur, ne détournons pas les yeux. Unissons-nous pour demander justice pour la Palestine et la fin à la complicité de l’UE dans le génocide !

Seine Gegner haben ihn abgeschrieben – doch Jean-Luc Mélenchon gibt nicht auf

(June 29, 2026)

»Meine Damen und Herren, Genossinnen und Genossen – hier ist Ihr Kandidat für die Präsidentschaftswahl 2027: Jean-Luc Mélenchon!,« schallte es über die Straßen von Saint-Denis. Anfang des Monats trafen Zehntausende in der Stadt nordöstlich von Paris zusammen. Trotz der brennenden Sonne waren sie gekommen, um den Linken Mélenchon beim Start seines Wahlkampfs für die Präsidentschaftswahl 2027 zu erleben.

Es war eine eindrucksvolle Demonstration der Wahlkampfmaschinerie, die Mélenchon seit seiner ersten Kandidatur 2012 aufgebaut hat. Damals hatte er die Parti Socialiste (PS) verlassen, um links von ihr seinen eigenen Weg zu gehen.

French Elites Face a Mamdani Moment of Their Own

(July 1, 2026)

France’s 2027 presidential election is increasingly looking like a shoo-in for the far right, or at least a hard-fought scrape by the center. But what if something closer to a “Mamdani moment” is in store?

Exclusive: ICC bureau changes rules to lower threshold for Khan‘s removal

Previously, the procedure was expected to consist of a two-stage vote in which members would first vote on whether misconduct had occurred and its gravity, with a second vote on removal triggered only if they found „serious misconduct.“

The ASP, which is made up of diplomatic representatives from the international court‘s 125 member states, is due to vote on Khan‘s future at the United Nations‘ headquarters in New York City on 24 July.

It comes after the bureau, a body of diplomats from 21 member states, determined by a two-thirds majority last month that Khan had committed „serious misconduct.“

This was despite a judicial panel, appointed by the bureau to review the findings of a United Nations investigation into complaints against Khan, concluding that the evidence against him was insufficient to establish any level of misconduct.
