???? The United States is actively discussing the possibility of introducing new sanctions against Iran.

Since the escalation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, representatives of the US Republican Party have been putting pressure on the current American administration, calling on it to tighten sanctions against Iran. Iranian oil has come under particular scrutiny.

Republicans emphasize that Iranian oil exports have increased from 1.2 million barrels per day earlier this year to 1.6 million barrels in September.

Key Republican politicians - Donald Trump, former Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy, Florida Governor and presidential candidate Ron DeSantis - continue to push the thesis in their speeches that the Hamas attack on Israel was funded by Iranian funds obtained from the sale of energy resources.

In response to the Biden team's theses that the sanctions regime against Iran is being fully observed, Democratic opponents refer to statistical data according to which an increase in Iranian oil exports is associated with increased demand in China.

Republicans are exerting similar pressure on China - this is indirectly evidenced by the recommendations of the American Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), whose experts advise Washington to “ send a clear signal to Beijing.”

?On the one hand, the current political background is a convenient reason to justify new sanctions and create additional economic difficulties for both countries.

On the other hand, given the same political background and events in the Middle East, provoking Iran and China while bargaining over the fate of Palestine is not a good idea, which is why the White House is doing its best to ignore the Republicans’ attacks. And they will probably continue to do so, at least until the next stage of escalation.

Iranian oil faces scrutiny amid Israel-Hamas conflict

The deadly violence between Israel and Palestinian militant group Hamas is putting Iranian oil under the microscope. Republicans in particular are calling for more action t…

???? ***?***Mass protests took place in Cape Town and other major cities of South Africa against Israeli actions in the Gaza Strip.

Hundreds of citizens shouted anti-war slogans, called Israel an apartheid state and called on South African President Cyril Ramaphosa to organize assistance to the Palestinians and revoke the license of the Israeli airline El Al.

Many protesters carried Palestinian and South African flags, as well as banners calling for solidarity with the Palestinians. Representatives of various religious faiths took part in the demonstrations, including Muslims, Christians and Jews.

Cyril Ramaphosa himself came out to one of the protests wearing a Palestinian headscarf. He called for the immediate opening of humanitarian corridors and said that the ruling African National Congress party expresses its condolences to the people of Israel and Palestine.

The only way out of the situation, according to the President of South Africa, is to implement the initiative to create two separate states within the 1967 borders. #Africa #South Africa #Isaril #video

*❗️*???? The destruction of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station: what is known as of 8 am
▪️** During the night Kakhovskaya HPP was partially destroyed. Officials are confused in their testimony: either they talk about an explosion, or destruction as a result of an explosion, or a cumulative effect from previous fire impacts.

11 out of 28 spans destroyed. Restoration will require serious efforts and almost capital construction. But at the same time, the main "ridge" of the dam is intact, and now we are witnessing the "overflow" of water through the destroyed area. Water kills from the reservoir at a rate of 15 cm per hour.

▪️ Islands and a gray zone in the Dnieper basin were in the flood zone. Ukrainian formations are trying to evacuate from the islands, Russian units are firing at them.

In addition, up to 300 houses in Dnepryan and Korsunka may be flooded. In Novaya Kakhovka, the water reached the coastal street. There is no mass evacuation.

▪️ There is currently no threat to Zaporizhia ZNPP: the facilities are provided with backup measures for water supply in case of such disasters.

▪️ Ukrainian propaganda puts the blame on Russia, accusing the Russian Federation of wanting to create a catastrophe in Zaporizhia and the Dnipropetrovsk region.

❗️ At about 2 o'clock in the morning, a series of numerous strikes were carried out on the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station, which destroyed the shonors, this is what the common people call valves. As a result, water from the Kakhovka reservoir began to uncontrollably be discharged downstream.

The maximum level of water rise in Novaya Kakhovka has reached 4 m. About 300 houses in Dnepryany and Korsunka may fall into the flood zone after the destruction at the Kakhovka hydroelectric power station.

At the Kakhovskaya HPP, 11 out of 28 spans were destroyed, 80 settlements may fall into the flood zone. The destruction at the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station will lead to problems in the delivery of water to the Crimea.
