US President Joe Biden said Friday that Iran should view his decision to authorize US air strikes in Syria as a warning. He stated that Tehran will face consequences for its support of militia groups that threaten US interests or personnel. The Pentagon said the strikes destroyed several buildings in eastern Syria but were not intended to eradicate the militia groups that used them to facilitate attacks inside Iraq. While the administration defended the air strikes as legal and appropriate, several leading Democrats denounced the strikes, which were the first military actions Biden authorized. Democrats said the air strikes were done without authorization from lawmakers.

The United States has announced sanctions and visa bans on on 76 Saudi Arabian citizens over the 2018 killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. The Biden administration, however, stopped short of imposing sanctions on Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who has been named in a US intelligence report. While announcing the 'Khashoggi Ban', US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said that extra-terrotorial threats and assaults by Saudi Arabia against activists, dissidents and journalists must end. The US said that 76 sanctioned Saudi citizens have been engaged in threatening dissidents overseas, including Jamal Khashoggi.

A diplomat's job is no walk in the park. And if you are a diplomat in North Korea, even the journey back home cam become too arduous. Eight Russian diplomats and their families &mdash; including a three-year-old girl &mdash; had to use a hand-pushed rail trolley to cross the border from North Korea to return to Russia. Why? Because North Korea has suspended all cross-border trains due to Covid restrictions. Video posted on Russia's foreign ministry's verified Telegram account showed the trolley, laden with suitcases and women, being pushed across a border railway bridge by Third Secretary Vladislav Sorokin, the only man in the group.

The United States on Friday publicly accused Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman of approving the gruesome murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. This is the first time that the US has named the de-facto ruler of its ally Saudi in the killing. An intelligence report newly declassified by President Joe Biden's administration has concluded that the prince "approved an operation in Istanbul to capture or kill Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi." The report added that given Prince Mohammed's influence, it was "highly unlikely" that the 2018 murder could have taken place without his green light. Khashoggi, a critic of Prince Mohammed who wrote for The Washington Post and was a US resident, was lured to the Saudi consulate in Istanbul in October 2018, then killed and cut into pieces.
