"Israeli Airstrike in Syria Kills Six, Including IRGC Commander"

Israeli war planes destroyed the Iranian consulate in Damascus, killing at least seven people, including a senior commander in the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) Quds force. Iran condemned the attack as a violation of diplomatic norms and promised a harsh response. The strike removed a key figure in Iran’s military hierarchy, Brig Gen Mohammad Reza Zahedi, who commanded units in Lebanon and Syria and played a critical role in Iran’s relationship with Hezbollah and Syria’s president, Bashar al-Assad. The incident follows a marked increase in violence between Israel and Hezbollah, as well as the resumption of violence by Iranian-backed militia in Iraq on US and Israeli positions.

Afghanistan Shuts Down Longstanding Diplomatic Mission in India

The Afghan embassy in India has announced the permanent closure of its diplomatic mission in New Delhi, citing persistent challenges from the Indian government. All diplomats from the Afghan Republic have left India, marking the end of their 22-year presence. The embassy stated that the decision was made in the hope that the Indian government's stance would change to allow the mission to operate normally. The closure comes amidst constraints in resources and authority, as well as discord with the Taliban regime. The fate of the mission, whether to maintain its closure or explore alternatives, will now rest with the Indian government.

Israeli Settler Attacks on Palestinians: IDF Admits Failures.

The Israeli army admitted that it "failed" to prevent an attack by settlers on a Palestinian town in the West Bank, during which one villager was killed in unclear circumstances. Revenge attacks on Turmus Ayya and other villages followed the killing of four Israelis by Palestinian gunmen in a terrorist attack on Tuesday. The army spokesman said troops had tried to prevent Israelis from attacking Turmus Ayya but they were stretched too thin. A delegation from more than 20 diplomatic missions, including those of the European Union and the United States, visited the village on Friday to inspect the damage.

Blinken's high-stakes trip to China amidst tensions and low trust.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken met with Chinese Foreign Minister Qin Gang and top diplomat Wang Yi in Beijing on a high-stakes diplomatic mission to cool US-China tensions. Blinken's trip makes him the highest-level American official to visit China since Joe Biden became US president and the first US secretary of state to make the trip in nearly five years. Expectations for a significant recovery in the US-China relationship remain low, but the visit could pave the way for a November meeting between Biden and his Chinese counterpart Xi.
