Iran: Due to US visa delays, Tehran will not attend the UN meeting on the Gaza Strip

Amir-Abdollahian was due to attend a UN Security Council meeting in New York to discuss the war between Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas.

“The Americans issued visas to me and all my companions in 1 hour. at night (Tuesday at 11:30 p.m. Lithuanian time),” said the Minister of Foreign Affairs.

He added that due to delays in issuing visas, the Iranian delegation could not attend the meeting, which is scheduled to begin at 2 p.m. 30 minutes Greenwich (4:30 p.m. Lithuanian) time.

H. Amir-Abdollahian indicated that, despite his absence, Tehran will make every effort to extend the humanitarian ceasefire agreement in the Palestinian enclave.

Hamas is expected to release a sixth group of Israeli hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners on Wednesday.

Tehran-backed Hamas wants to extend an agreed six-day ceasefire by another four days, a source close to the militant group said on Wednesday.

Basically, the US must admit foreign diplomats and their delegations to the UN.

However, in the 2020s, Iran accused the US of refusing to issue a visa to then-Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, who wanted to visit the UN headquarters.

Tehran and Washington have not maintained formal diplomatic relations since the 1980s.

Increased security for Trump –

WASHINGTON (EFE).— The United States Secret Service approved a plan to increase the security of former president and Republican candidate Donald Trump (2017-2021) that includes the use of bulletproof glass screens at his rallies, the newspaper “The Washington Post” reported yesterday.

Typically, such bulletproof sheets are only provided to presidents and vice presidents when deemed necessary for outdoor appearances.

The New York tycoon was wounded in the ear after a young man shot him on July 13 at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

The attacker was on a roof outside the venue and before being shot down by law enforcement he killed one member of the public and injured another.

The then director of the US Secret Service, Kimberly Cheatle, ended up resigning ten days later due to security errors at that meeting and after having stated that this assassination attempt represented the “biggest operational failure” of the agency “in decades”.

Trump has not appeared at an outdoor campaign rally since that day.

The Washington Post added that the Secret Service will also add other resources to its security detail that are not normally provided for presidential candidates. Its Secret Service source did not go into details, but according to the newspaper, these measures would include the use of drones.

ABC News added that it is unclear when the new deployment will come into effect.

Trump has held indoor rallies since his assassination attempt, but has publicly acknowledged his desire to resume outdoor events.

“They would prefer us to be in a stadium, but we are not going to give up on outdoor events. All those people we had to turn away today could have been at an outdoor event,” he said on June 31 at a rally in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.

On the other hand, Trump assured yesterday that if the Democratic candidate Kamala Harris wins the elections, he will apply policies “of Venezuela or the Soviet Union (USSR)” in the United States.

Kamala Harris “is running with (Nicolás) Maduro’s plan. We call it the Maduro plan, it’s something straight out of Venezuela or the Soviet Union,” she said.
