On the eve of the highly anticipated meeting between the American and North Korean leaders, Iran's Foreign Ministry has urged Pyongyang to "exercise complete vigilance" while dealing with US President Donald Trump.

Kim Jong-un should be aware of Trump's "America First" agenda and his tendency to betray deals when they talk about denuclearization, Tehran has warned.

"Washington has continued to sabotage international agreements and unilaterally withdraw from them," Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman Bahram Qassemi said in reference to Trump's mercurial approach "since the time he has been in office."

Kim should remain "quite vigilant," Qassemi said, noting Trump's notorious withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal. Having learnt it the hard way, the diplomat stressed that Tehran was quite "pessimistic about US behaviors." "The US has a history of sabotage, violation and withdrawal with respect to bilateral and multilateral international commitments," the spokesman said.

Comment: Iran is not involved in this negotiation. A deal made by Trump might be one he sticks with.

Netanyahu's 'we are with you' PR water stunt: Offers to help Iranians overcome water crisis

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has suddenly vowed to help the Iranian people combat drought by creating a website in Farsi on Tel Aviv's know-how. It did not stop him from verbally attacking Tehran once again, though.

In a video address published on his official YouTube channel, Netanyahu announced that Israel has created a special website in Farsi dedicated to projects related to water resources management, water conservation and other issues such as irrigation for the Iranians to learn from it.

Comment: How demeaning. A publicity stunt. This from the regime denying Palestinians the minimum supply of water required per day, and what they receive is contaminated.

Israel's prime minister openly boasted that his country developed "cutting-edge technologies" in the field, and it "recycles nearly 90 percent of its waste water." Known for his taste for theatrical gestures, Netanyahu pointedly took his time to fill a glass of water and drink it in a display aimed at showing that his country faces no shortage of water.

Comment: Transparent ploy. Netanyahu wants to gain back favor lost in the Palestinian massacre and counter the increase in condemnation around the world. He's just found a new way to stick it to the Iranian leadership but he's not fooling anyone.

Assad: The West supported terrorists, in no position to assign guilt in Syria

The US, the UK and France have supported terrorists in Syria and are responsible for the bloodshed in the country, Syrian President Bashar Assad said in responce to Western claims that he has been attacking his own people.

"It doesn't even hold together - this narrative," Assad told Mail on Sunday, talking about the accusations that he was behind the chemical attacks against civilians on Syrian soil and other repressions. He added that the war against the terrorists has been underway for seven years and he has been in charge of the country all this time because "this president... has support of his own people. How could he have the support, while he's killing the same people?"

"That's' why [we] are advancing. We can't make those advancements just because we have Russian and Iranian support. They can't substitute the popular support," he explained in English.

The terrorists, whom the Syrian military is fighting with the help of its allies, are "supported by the British government, the French government and the American [government] and their puppets whether in Europe or in our region."

Discussion will center on 'permanent peace' at Trump-Kim meeting

North Korean state media has confirmed that the leaders of North Korea and the US will focus on ensuring permanent peace and a nuclear-free Korean Peninsula in Singapore. Pyongyang says it hopes for a "new" start with the US.

The expected key points on the agenda of the much-anticipated meeting between Kim Jong-un and President Donald Trump were unveiled by KCNA, North Korea's state news agency, on Monday.

As it was widely expected, the two leaders will discuss the issue of denuclearization, a concept that is feared to become the main stumbling block on the way to a diplomatic breakthrough. The report came the closest so far to an official confirmation that a permanent peace deal may be in the works, with KCNA saying that "the issue of building a permanent and durable peace-keeping mechanism" on the peninsula will be one of the main priorities during the talks.

UK: Ex-justice minister requests fresh torture inquiry into 'disgraceful involvement' in rendition

The former justice secretary responsible for abandoning a probe into British complicity in US rendition and the torture of terrorism suspects has said he regrets the decision, and reiterated demands for a fresh investigation.

Speaking to The Times, Ken Clarke said: "I have for some time regretted bringing to a close the Gibson inquiry, particularly since we seem to be no closer to getting to the truth of these matters." Announced by the Cameron government in 2010, the inquiry came to a close in January 2012 after ministers cited concerns about legal prejudice.

Clarke, who now chairs the all-party parliamentary group on extraordinary rendition, told the paper that upon shutting down Gibson, he "made clear that the government fully intended to hold a judge-led inquiry into these issues once all related police investigations had been concluded."

The comments come one month after Libyan national Abdul Hakim Belhaj reached an out-of-court settlement with the government over the kidnapping of him and his then-pregnant wife Fatima Boudchar in Thailand in 2004.

Matteo Salvini serves as Deputy Prime Minister of Italy and as Minister of the Interior since June 2018.

New Italian Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini has shut off Italian ports to a migrant ship with more than 600 people on board, as he follows through on his promise to get tough when it comes to illegal immigration.

Salvini set out his position on Facebook, saying: "Malta takes in nobody. France pushes people back at the border, Spain defends its frontier with weapons. From today, Italy will also start to say no to human trafficking, no to the business of illegal immigration."

Comment: The globalists' tactic of undermining sovereign nations by flooding them with outsiders in the name of "humanitarianism" is starting to backfire, as those nations are taking back control of their borders.

The media should heed his last answer

One gets the feeling that this segment didn't go quite as planned, but it was interesting nonetheless. The journalists were looking for short answers of maybe a few words, or a sentence.

This being Russia, things tend to get a little more complicated.

Listen to the last question and his answer to it. It doesn't sound rehearsed.

Italian PM to NATO chief: 'Difficult if not impossible to solve crises without Russia'

RT
Mon, 11 Jun 2018 19:29 UTC

Moscow is essential to resolving deadlocks in ongoing international crises, Italy's new Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte insists. He called for Western countries to seek dialogue with Russia instead of turning a cold shoulder.

"Without the involvement of Russia it's difficult, if not impossible" to find "the only realistic and long-lasting" solutions to world crises, Conte said during a press conference with the NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg. He endorsed NATO's so-called 'double-track approach' to Moscow - mixing defense posturing and maintaining dialogue.

Noting that Russia plays "an essential role" in world affairs, the Italian Prime Minister called on the bloc's members to engage in "more effective" talks with Moscow in order to avoid misunderstandings and "dangerous escalation".

Israel launches 'surprise' military exercise in Golan Heights - Israeli warplanes and drones circle Syrian-Lebanese border, Syrian army on high alert

Israeli forces launched unexpected large-scale military drills in the Golan Heights, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) said.

"A short while ago, a large-scale surprise military exercise began in the Golan Heights area... In addition, as part of the exercise the system to call up reservists was activated," the IDF said in a statement as quoted by the Times of Israel newspaper.

The Israeli army added that the drills were "planned in advance as part of the 2018 training schedule" and were not linked to the current situation in the area.

Comment: The Israeli Air Force has resumed their overflights into Lebanese airspace this week, as their warplanes were spotted flying along Lebanon's eastern border with Syria.

According to a military report, both Israeli reconnaissance drones and fighter jets were spotted along the Lebanese-Syrian border, with most of their flights taking place over the Sheba'a Farms, Beqa'a Valley, Mount Hermon (Jabal Al-Sheikh), and occupied Golan Heights.

In response to these Israeli overflights, the Syrian Air Defense has been put on high alert near their western border with Lebanon and the occupied Golan Heights region.

A Syrian military source in Damascus told Al-Masdar News last week that the Israeli Air Force has been heavily monitoring the area around the Qalamoun Mountains and Al-Qusayr; they both have a large Hezbollah presence.

Assad tells UK media that Douma 'chemical attack' was a British PR stunt

The US, the UK and France launched airstrikes against Syria in April after accusing Damascus of a chemical attack in the city of Douma. The Syrian and Russian governments have charged the US and UK-funded White Helmet group with staging a false-flag chemical attack in the city to prompt Western military intervention.

Speaking to The Mail on Sunday, President Assad accused the three Western powers of using the White Helmets group to give them a pretext to attack Syria.

"The UK publically supported the White Helmets that are a branch of al-Qaeda, al-Nusra, in different areas of Syria. They [Britain] spent a lot of money, and we consider the White Helmets to be a PR stunt by the UK. So yes, definitely, it was staged by these three countries together, and the UK is involved," Assad said.

Noting that the US-British-French tripartite didn't provide the public with evidence that an attack actually took place at Douma, Assad said that this wasn't the point. "The crux of the issue is that they need to undermine the Syrian government, as they needed to change and topple the Syrian government at the beginning of the events of the war in Syria. They keep failing, they keep telling lies, and they continue to play a war of attrition against our government," the president said.

Comment: Assad is right. He usually is.
