02APR2024: Switzerland condemns Israel’s bombing of Iranian Embassy!

“Thank you, Madam President.

As this is the first public meeting of the month, I would like to assure you of Switzerland’s full support during your presidency, and I would like to thank Japan for its excellent management during the month
of March.

We would like to thank Assistant Secretary-General for the Middle East Khaled Khiari for his speech detailing yesterday’s events in Damascus.
Switzerland condemns the air strike against the Iranian consulate in Damascus, which killed and injured several people.  This strike considerably increases the risk of a major escalation in the region. The spiral of escalation must stop immediately.  This includes a halt to militia attacks in the region and the implementation of Resolution 2728 demanding an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.  Switzerland also recalls that Resolution 2254 calls for a national ceasefire in Syria.

We call on all parties and those with influence over them to exercise the utmost restraint.  All channels of communication must be used to avoid any misunderstandings.  A single miscalculation can have
disastrous consequences.  A further deterioration in the situation must be avoided, and we collectively have the means to prevent it.

Any use of force must strictly comply with international law and international humanitarian law must be respected by all parties. Given the current climate, the proper conduct of diplomatic activity is of the utmost importance.  Diplomatic buildings must not be targeted!

In such situations, dialogue is essential, not least to find solutions. This Council and all States must play their full part in facilitating de-escalation.  Switzerland is ready to make its contribution.

Thank you.”Adrian Hauri, Deputy Permanent Representative of Switzerland to the United Nations

02APR2024:  IRAN BLAMES U.S. & U.K. FOR CREATING THE ABOMINATION CALLED ISRAEL!

02APR2024: Iran blames U.S. & U.K. for creating the abomination called Israel!

Statement by H.E. Ms. Zahra Ershadi (Ambassador and Deputy of Permanent Representative of the Islamic Republic of Iran to the United Nations) Before the United Nations Security Council On “threat to international peace and security”New York, 02 April 2024

بسم الله الرحمن الرحیم

“Madam President, 

At the outset, allow me to congratulate you for assuming the presidency of the Security Council for this month.

We thank Russia for requesting this urgent meeting which focuses on the heinous and terrorist attacks committed by the Israeli regime against the diplomatic premises in flagrant violation of international law.

We also thank China and other members who supported convening the meeting.

We thank Mr. Khaled Khiari, Assistant Secretary-General for his briefing.

Madam President,

Yesterday, we urgently notified the Security Council members of yet another flagrant violation of international law committed by the Israeli regime within Syria territory.

As reflected in our letter, on 1st April 2024 our diplomatic premises in Damascus came under terrorist attacks carried out by the Israeli regime.

Seven missile airstrikes from the occupied Golan Heights, specifically and intentionally targeted the diplomatic premises of Iran including the consular section building and the ambassador’s residence.

Tragically, these heinous attacks resulted in the martyrdom of seven Iranian personnel, including senior military advisors, and some others were injured.

Alongside the complete destruction of the consular building, the embassy’s administrative parts also suffered significant damage due to the explosions.

The final and accurate death toll remains uncertain as the entire diplomatic premise has been destroyed, with individuals trapped under the rubble.

Madam President,

The Islamic Republic of Iran strongly condemns these horrific crimes and cowardly terrorist attacks.

The Israeli regime committed a flagrant violation of the United Nations Charter, international law, and the sovereignty, independence, and territorial integrity of the Syrian Arab Republic.

The crime committed yesterday by the Israeli regime goes beyond mere criminality; it represents a profound affront to the shared principle of the international community, namely, the inviolability of representatives and diplomatic and consular premises.

This principle is a cornerstone upon which international relations are built, universally recognized, and upheld.

This crime bluntly breaches the fundamental principle of diplomatic and consular immunity and flagrantly violated the 1961 Convention on Diplomatic Relations, the 1963 Vienna Convention on Consular Relations, and the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of Crimes Against Internationally Protected Persons, including Diplomatic Agents of 1973.

Madam President,

The Security Council has consistently united in unequivocal condemnation of violent assaults on embassies and consular premises of Member States.

The Security Council has always reaffirmed that such reprehensible acts, regardless of motive or perpetrator, are unjustifiable.

Given the grave repercussions of this reprehensible act, which could escalate tensions in the region and potentially spark further conflict involving other nations, we call on the Security Council to vehemently condemn this unjustified criminal act and terrorist attack.

Madam President,

It’s now crystal clear that Israeli ongoing destabilized and irresponsible actions and atrocities against the nations in our region are a real threat to regional and international peace and security.

This regime has consistently demonstrated disregard for international law, the UN Charter, and humanitarian and human rights principles.

Israeli agenda is obvious: to escalate and perpetuate the conflict while evading accountability.

It did not redline to kill civilians and even used starvation as a method of warfare.

Its primary concern is the unlawful use of force to advance its apartheid policies, ethnic cleansing, genocidal acts, and military objectives in Gaza at all costs.

Despite repeated calls from Council members, Israel continues in its atrocious and genocidal acts against the defenseless people of Gaza.

And, despite international pressure and UNSC resolutions calling for a ceasefire, Israel has defied these resolutions. Rather, its focus remains on committing more atrocious crimes, showing no regard for international legal obligations.

Just today, this regime outraged and killed the World Central aid workers in Gaza, As the Under Secretary General, highlighted, ‘They were the heroes, killed while trying to feed starving people’.

Regrettably, the absence of accountability and the Council’s inaction has only encouraged and even emboldened this regime to continue its violations unchecked.

It is high time for the Security Council to shoulder its responsibility and address the real threat to international peace and security.

The Security Council must promptly fulfill its duty in response to Israel’s reckless defiance.

Urgent and enforceable measures must be taken to compel this regime to uphold its obligations.

Madam President,

The Islamic Republic of Iran has exercised considerable restraint, but it is imperative to acknowledge that there are limits to such forbearance.

The occupying regime must bear full responsibility for its consequences.

Iran reserves its legitimate and inherent right under international law and the United Nations Charter to take a decisive response to such reprehensible acts.

Madam. President,  

The representative of the U.S. and U.K. once again tried to deny its responsibility for the current situation in the Syria and broad region by falsely blaming Iran.

Iran strongly rejects these allegations. Iran is never seeking to contribute to the spillover of the conflict in the region nor does it to escalate or spread the tension to the entire region.

Despite expressing concern over the spillover of the tension in the region, the U.S. tries to misuse the situation to destabilize Syria and the region.

The United States is responsible for all crimes committed by the Israeli regime.

The savage and genocide acts in Gaza could not be happened without explicit consent, and comprehensive political, financial, and military support, as well as partnership, from the United States.

Ironically, the United States talks too much about protecting civilians in Gaza and also expresses its concerns about the violation of humanitarian law, at the same time, it has blocked the Security Council for over six months from taking urgent and appropriate action to stop the war in Gaza.

If the U.S. genuinely cares about civilians and upholds humanitarian international law, it should refrain from blaming Iran and instead compel the Israeli regime to implement the UNSC Resolution calling for a ceasefire.

About the U.K. allegations, instead of deflecting blame onto others, the U.K. should face up to its mistakes and rectify its detrimental policies that have adversely affected the people of the region.

The longstanding suffering of the Palestinian people, persisting for over seven decades, can be traced back directly to the colonial policies of the United Kingdom.

I thank you, Madam President.”

It seems appropriate that this 1970 Oldsmobile 442 decided to make an appearance in a colligate sports arena that first opened in 1970.

2024, Holt Arena-ICCU Dome Part-2: Chrome in the Dome

In January 2024, the first in the U.S. fully enclosed colligate sports arena got a name change, for the third time since 1970.  The new name is ICCU (Idaho Central Credit Union) Dome, due to the arena’s recent refreshment being funded largely by the financial institution.  In 1970, it was called ASISU (Associated Students of Idaho State University) Minidome to honor the fact that students (whether they knew it or not) had funded the construction through increased student fees.  In 1988, the name was changed to Holt Arena to honor the athletic director who pushed for the creation of the Minidome.

The owner of this Bond Bug bought the body/chassis from a seller in the United Kingdom.  The motor came from a Bond Bug owner in California, who converted his Bug to electric (with poor results as the old high-octane gas powered Bug has a far greater range than the electric version).

The Bond Bug was not sold in the United States, in fact the owner of this Bond Bug has to import the tiny tires from Canada!
