⚡️On January 23rd, the Russian Electronic Surveillance Ship, Kildin, who was operating in the Eastern Mediterranean off the Coast of Syria, suffered some kind of Damage Control Casualty; with Flames and Black Smoke observed coming from its Smokestack by several nearby Vessels, including a number of NATO Warships. One of the NATO Ship was able to capture an Emergency Broadcast from the Ship to another nearby Vessel, which stated “Our ship is in difficulty, so keep your distance…Warship on your course…I am drifting. I’m not under command.” The Fire burned for at least Four Hours, as the Crew attempted to contain the Blaze and the Kildin’s Lifeboats were prepared for launch; with multiple NATO Warships offering aid to the burning Russian Spy Ship, though the Ship never responded to any NATO Hails.

⚡️Statement issued by Hezb-Allah:

“Hezbollah condemns the deviant call launched by US President Donald Trump to displace our people in the Gaza Strip outside Palestine, and stresses that it is nothing but a clear expression and translation of the racist, exclusionary, fascist ideology that threatens all of humanity at the core of its values, most notably the right of peoples to their homelands and lands. This is an obvious right that has been recognized by all charters and norms. It is a right that cannot be taken away, violated, or relinquished by force or coercion in any way.

This arrogance coupled with megalomania made Trump and his administration think that the black path of establishing his state, based on the systematic extermination of the indigenous people of the continent and replacing them with settlers, can be re-exported in this era by uprooting the Palestinian people of the land and giving it to the Zionists, after the American Zionist war machine, supported by the Western system, failed to do so, which was unable to break the will and determination of the Palestinian people in an epic that is unparalleled in the modern era, where the resistance in Gaza and its people presented legendary sacrifices and proved through them that they are resistant to all uprooting and displacement projects.

Hezbollah stresses that what the enemy did not take in war, it will not take in peace, and under malicious and foolish slogans, it wants to fool the peoples of the world by claiming its keenness for the people of Gaza to enjoy a better life outside of it. Hezbollah believes that this dangerous project, which is contrary to logic and nature, is as much condemned and rejected as it indicates the nature and extent of the conspiracy against the Palestinian people at this stage.

Hezbollah believes with absolute faith that whoever thwarted the war of extermination will thwart the racist war of uprooting, and Trump and those with him will realize that this holy land cannot be subject to the dictates of American madness, and that all the loyalists in our Arab and Islamic world and in the entire world will stand as one to raise their voices and thwart the despicable conspiracy, and will not allow under any circumstances for the fate of the Palestinian people to become at the mercy of the Zionist-American obsession with seizing the country, enslaving the peoples, and determining their fate...

Hezbollah calls on the Arab and Islamic countries to take practical positions to confront this occupation project, otherwise what awaits their countries if this step succeeds is a dark fate that will leave nothing behind, neither independence, nor wealth, nor peoples. It also warns against any leniency in the confrontation, which will pave the way for an organized expulsion of all the people of the West Bank and later all the Palestinian people in the occupied (48) lands, and the realization of the biblical dream and the Zionist-American dreams of seizing all of Palestine and making it entirely Jewish.

Hezbollah confirms that this new aggression against Palestine and its people will be doomed to complete failure, and the Palestinian people, along with all the honorable people, will prove that they will remain in their land, and that Trump and all his tyranny and conspiracies will not bring down the Palestinian will, but rather his project will fall, and Gaza will remain for its people and Palestine for its people, and this people will remain the symbol of Palestine, pride and strength, and the preservation of the land, and a model for all the peoples of the world in the struggle for the right and the sanctities.”

⚡️President Aoun to US Deputy Envoy to the Middle East Morgan Ortagus:

“Israeli aggressions, including the killing of innocent people and soldiers, the destruction of homes, and the bulldozing and burning of agricultural land, must stop.

Stability in the south is linked to the completion of the Israeli withdrawal from the territories it occupied, and the implementation of Resolution 1701 with all its provisions, including the requirements of the November 27 agreement. The release of Lebanese prisoners is also an integral part of the agreement.”

⚡️U.S. Coast Guard HC-130J “C2003” is returning to Coast Guard Air Station Kodiak, after completing its search near Nome and along the Norton Sound, for the Bering Air Cessna 208B Grand Carrivan that went missing earlier while conducting a Regularly Scheduled Flight between Unalakleet and Nome in Northwestern Alaska. Boats and other Aircraft are continuing to search for the Flight, though so far there has been no sign of the Aircraft or its 10 Passengers and Crew.

⚡️U.S. President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Order earlier today, sanctioning the International Criminal Court (ICC) for what the White House called “Illegitimate and Baseless Actions targeting America and our Closest-Ally, Israel.” According to the Order, the Sanctions could include blocking the purchase of Property or Assets, and barring ICC Officials and their Families from entering the United States. The Order is likely in response to Arrest Warrants that were issued last November by the ICC, for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other Senior Israeli Officials who were accused of War Crimes and Crimes against Humanity for the ongoing War in Gaza, this is despite Israel not being a Member of the International Criminal Court.
