Parliament Forms Committee to Resolve Iraqi Issues in Iran Amidst Middle East Chaos, 5 DEC
Parliament’s First Deputy Speaker, Mohsen Al-Mandlawi, has announced an agreement to form a committee with comprehensive powers to visit Iran and address issues concerning the Iraqi community residing there. This proactive step could potentially alleviate the difficulties faced by Iraqis in Iran, marking a significant development in bilateral relations.
Axis of Resistance and the Chaos of War
As the conflict between Palestinian Hamas and Israel escalates, Iran has become increasingly vocal about the possibility of additional firepower entering the battlefield in a bid to secure a victory for what Tehran refers to as the axis of resistance against Israel. This axis, part of Iran’s attempts to propagate its Shia Islam ideology, thrives amidst the chaos of the Middle East. The assassination of Qasem Soleimani by the U.S. introduced an element of chaos within the network itself, but the axis continues its operations through groups like Hamas and Hizballah.
Prisoners of War and Humanitarian Actions
In the midst of the conflict, Hamas released two female Israeli nationals known as peace activists, arrested during an attack on southern Israel. Their release, facilitated by Qatar and Egypt, was driven by humanitarian concerns regarding their deteriorating health conditions. The women were airlifted to Ichilov Hospital in Tel Aviv, Israel, and reported to be in good health upon arrival.
Global Reactions and Interventions
Images of Israeli armored vehicles and tanks near Gaza’s main southern city have been captured via satellite, triggering international concern. The US and the United Nations have called on Israel to take more measures to safeguard Palestinian civilians. The British government confirmed that the Ministry of Defence would conduct surveillance flights over the eastern Mediterranean to aid in locating hostages. The bombardment around Gaza’s second-largest city, Khan Younis, has intensified, with dozens of wounded people being transported to the local Nasser Hospital.
The Cyber Sovereignty Debate
The push for a Community with a Shared Future in Cyberspace could impact state-backed hacking teams operationally. China’s concept of cyber sovereignty provides political security to other illiberal governments. The PRC supports other authoritarian governments, improving its chances of maintaining access to strategic land for military bases or critical manufacturing inputs. The recent White Paper from the government of the People’s Republic of China continues diplomatic efforts to galvanize the international community around China’s concept of cyber sovereignty.
