The photograph, taken by Italian photojournalist Pietro Masturzo in the village of Idhna, west of Hebron, documents Israeli settlers and occupation soldiers obstructing Palestinian farmers at the start of the olive harvest. Masturzo described armed settlers, some in military-style clothing, arrived with Israeli forces and prevented residents from accessing their land, describing the scene as part of a wider pattern long recorded across the West Bank.
These special combat search and rescue (CSAR) helicopters, which have an advanced FLIR system, multi-purpose radars, can fly very low, and have electronic warfare equipment, entered the airspace of the Islamic Republic, and one HC-130J Combat King II, which is an aerial tanker.
They were filling their tanks in a mountainous region in the Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad province and then departed from Iranian airspace at the southern boundaries. Western media reports claimed that they had rescued the American pilot, without any evidence.
In the early hours of April 5 — two days after the initial incident — reports emerged of fierce confrontations and gunfire at multiple locations in southwestern Iran.
Iranian police forces (Faraja) and local tribesmen engaged in encounters with special forces of the American regime, which had entered Iranian airspace for a second time.
Simultaneously with these clashes, several telecommunication towers in Dehdasht, Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad Province, were struck to severely disrupt communications between the Islamic Republic’s defending forces.
The legal onus here (i.e. the “responsibility”) – is upon the family choosing to hire private healthcare – not the behaviour of a) the private healthcare firm, or b) the individual healthcare employee concerned. If the NHS was involved, the staff concerned would have been investigated to ascertain if they had been deficient in their providing of the care they had given. If the answer was “yes” – then they would be “Suspended” (with or without pay depending upon circumstance), and/or “Arrested” by the police depending upon the severity of those charges. If only “Suspended” – then the case would probably head to a tribunal to decide the appropriate punishment – either “Re-instatement” or “Dismissal” (and being permanently “Stroke-off” the Medical Register). Families and individuals would have to then seek redress in the Civil Courts – at their own expense. It can be worth the effort and expense – as the British government often pay-out the high millions in NHS compensation for malpractice (this is because the NHS is owned by the British public – because it is funded by general taxation). As the US is demanding the end of all Socialist institutions in Europe – the NHS is being systematically dismantled and replaced with a deficient and entirely lacking private equivalent – people are dying from a malpractice that possesses no legal ability to put right – as this would hold the capitalists to account for their treatment of us. Many rich people who support private health vote Tory – and then they lament when it goes wrong. What a mess the modern UK is today
Iran, despite the sanctions preventing it from trading, building-up wealth, and importing resources, developed its missile and drone forces over many decades. Iran is now using-up all these supplies whilst the US is destroying the infrastructure of Iran – that very same infrastructure which built the missiles in the first place – no infrastructure – no missiles. On the face of it, these US losses are only significant from the perspective of the US (and Israel) rarely losing their expensive warplanes during the asymmetric wars they start. The only exception I can recall is the events of 1973, which involved the USSR secretly providing the Palestinians with sophisticated surface-to-air missiles. These Soviet missiles destroyed the Israeli Airforce in around 20 minutes during the Yom Kippur War. The problem was that a United Arab Army lost to the Israelis on the battlefield.
“In continuation of the 84th wave of Operation True Promise 4, the IRGC naval units conducted a hybrid operation against US and Israeli terrorists deployed in al-Shoyoukh port as well as Dubai’s coasts and port, hitting downhearted American troops and their tactical hardware precisely,” the public relations department of the IRGC said in a statement on Friday.
The statement noted that six US landing craft utility (LCU) were struck in the operation, which was carried out using homegrown ballistic missiles, such as Qadr 380 cruise missiles.
“Given field reports, three of the combat vessels sank after the (retaliatory) strikes, whilst the rest are aflame,” the IRGC further noted.
In the meantime, kamikaze drones were employed to launch operations against the gathering centers of the US drone unit personnel on the coasts and one of the hotels in Dubai.
The grass-roots US appears to be strewn with left-wing groups like this that strive to assist the ordinary through the efforts of ordinary people – by-passing the official institutions that either ignore or directly oppress the masses. It is through the various social media apps not directly caught-up in the mainstream – that these groups announce their existence and reach-out beyond the boundaries of their communities. Of course, these groups are often a mixture of anarchists, Socialists (of various kinds) and Communists – forming “United Fronts – usually on a permanent basis (despite ideological differences). As the US System does not tolerate any form of People’s Movement – quite often it is a matter of time before that State raids the headquarters of these groups – films it – and places the footage on social media for all to see – together with a debilitating commentary designed to denigrate the members, etc. It is an Establishment play-book in the US that is deployed time and time again. In the end it comes down not to necessarily agreeing with this group or that group – but simply “knowing” such groups exist and share knowledge of what they do – and attempt to do.
