A French soldier from the UN force deployed in Lebanon (UNIFIL) was killed this Saturday and three other soldiers were injured -two of them very seriously- in an attack recorded in the south of that country which President Emmanuel Macron attributed to Hezbollah. Hours later, this pro-Iranian Shiite militia issued a statement denying any involvement in the ambush against the blue helmet contingent, which sparked all kinds of speculation.

Iran stated this Saturday that it has reimposed “strict control” over the Strait of Hormuz, alluding to a new closure of the strategic passage one day after announcing its reopening to allow the transit of commercial vessels. The Persian country thus responds to the blockade maintained by the United States against Iranian ports.

In Milan, the “patriots” wanted to flex their muscles, but ended up like a meeting of orphans: more melancholy than vehemence. The date of this Saturday’s European far-right rally had been conceived with a slogan, “remigration,” the flagship concept of the continent’s new far-right, which united all populist right-wing parties, members of the parliamentary group promoted by Viktor Orbán, who nevertheless did not appear in Milan, and inspired by that Donald Trump who, during hours of demonstrations and speeches, was not cited even once, beyond allusions perceptible only to journalists and embassy analysts.
