Iran accuses Prince Harry of ‘war crimes’

Published

on

The highly-anticipated memoir released by Prince Harry has gone gangbusters.

It’s now the fastest-selling non-fiction book of all-time – But now Prince Harry is at the centre of a diplomatic row.

Iran has accused Prince Harry of “war crimes” after he shared news he had killed 25 Taliban in his memoir ‘Spare’.

The 38-year-old has previously denied boasting about the killings in recent TV interviews such as with The Late Show in the U.S.

But Iranian authorities have slammed Prince Harry’s words.

“The British regime, whose royal family member, sees the killing of 25 innocent people as removal of chess pieces and has no regrets over the issue, and those who turn a blind eye to this war crime, are in no position to preach others on human rights,” a statement said.

It follows an initial tweet earlier on by the Iranian foreign ministry spokesman who calls out London’s violation of law that has been met with a decisive response from the Iranian intelligence.

This comes as both the Taliban and British military figures have criticised Prince Harry for admitting in his memoir to killing 25 people in Afghanistan.

In a closed-door vote, Senator Thune takes on a pivotal leadership role as Senate Republicans look to the future.

In a significant shift within Senate Republican leadership, Senator John Thune of South Dakota has been elected as the new Senate GOP leader, taking over from long-time leader Senator Mitch McConnell.

The decision came after a secret ballot vote among GOP members, marking the end of McConnell’s influential tenure.

Thune, who has served as Senate Minority Whip, is widely recognized for his strategic acumen and steady approach to party leadership.

His appointment signals both continuity and potential change as Senate Republicans prepare to navigate a challenging legislative environment and upcoming elections.

With McConnell stepping back, questions arise about how Thune’s leadership will shape GOP strategies on key issues, from fiscal policy to judicial appointments.

Analysts note that his leadership style is expected to maintain unity while possibly adopting fresh tactics to strengthen the party’s legislative influence.

As Thune steps into this prominent role, Republicans and observers alike will watch how his leadership influences the Senate’s dynamics and the broader political landscape.

The transition reflects a pivotal moment for the GOP as it positions itself for future electoral and legislative battles.
