Whether President Raisi is alive or not, he has been missing for over 5 hours.
With this, duties have likely been transferred to First VP Mohammad Mokhber.

Every time one Iran state media outlet says the crash site has been located, another denies it.
Been like this since the crash was first reported.
Probably won’t post an update until they officially announce he is dead or alive.

Persecution as a crime against humanity contrary to article 7(1)(h);
Other inhumane acts as crimes against humanity contrary to article 7(1)(k).”
He continued “On the basis of evidence collected and examined by my Office, I have reasonable grounds to believe that Yahya SINWAR (Head of the Islamic Resistance Movement (“Hamas”) in the Gaza Strip), Mohammed Diab Ibrahim AL-MASRI, more commonly known as DEIF (Commander-in-Chief of the military wing of Hamas, known as the Al-Qassam Brigades), and Ismail HANIYEH (Head of Hamas Political Bureau) bear criminal responsibility for the following war crimes and crimes against humanity committed on the territory of Israel and the State of Palestine (in the Gaza strip) from at least 7 October 2023:

Other inhumane acts as a crime against humanity, contrary to article 7(l)(k), in the context of captivity;
Cruel treatment as a war crime contrary to article 8(2)(c)(i), in the context of captivity; and
Outrages upon personal dignity as a war crime, contrary to article 8(2)(c)(ii), in the context of captivity.”
“The independent judges of the International Criminal Court are the sole arbiters as to whether the necessary standard for the issuance of warrants of arrest has been met. Should they grant my applications and issue the requested warrants, I will then work closely with the Registrar in all efforts to apprehend the named individuals. I count on all States Parties to the Rome Statute to take these applications and the subsequent judicial decision with the same seriousness they have shown in other Situations, meeting their obligations under the Statute. I also stand ready to work with non-States Parties in our common pursuit of accountability,” he added.

🇨🇩 🇺🇸 Three #UnitedStates nationals and up to 20 Congolese were arrested following an attempted coup in the Democratic Republic of the #Congo (#DRC) early Sunday morning.
At around 4:30 a.m. on Sunday, armed men led by Christian Malanga, a former Congolese politician and founder of the ‘New Zaire’ government in exile, attempted to storm the Kinshasa residence of President Felix Tshisekedi and the residence of the DRC’s Deputy PM of Economy, Vital Kamerhe.
According to Kamerhe’s spokesperson, Michel Muhima, “Two of the police officers assigned to his guard, as well as one of the attackers, lost their lives.”
Malanga was subsequently neutralized while resisting arrest at the Presidential Palace, according to the AP. Malanga’s son, who was captured on video wearing an American flag patch, an unidentified U.S National, and another U.S national assumed to be Benjamin Rueben Zalman Polun, were arrested.
US Ambassador to the DRC, Lucy Tamlyn, in a statement on X stated, “I am shocked by the events of this morning and very concerned by reports of American citizens allegedly involved. Please be assured that we will cooperate with the DRC authorities to the fullest extent as they investigate these criminal acts and hold accountable any U.S. citizen involved in criminal acts.”
The orchestrator of the attempted coup, Christian Malanga Musumari, was a former Captain in the DRC’s Army, President of the United Congolese Party (UCP), and founder of the Brussels-based ‘New Zaire’ government in exile.
Upon retiring from military service, Malanga ran against President Joseph Kabila, an action for which he was detained and held for two weeks. As a result, Malanga relocated to the United States in 2012 and focused the efforts of the UCP on the Congolese diaspora.
Currently, it is unknown what prompted Malanga, his son, and another U.S national to attempt the coup.
War still rages in the east of the DRC, with M23 rebels making gains daily, displacing millions, and killing thousands. Via theatlasnews.co
