The Litani River in Lebanon, now a focal point of escalating geopolitical tensions, reflects not only the ongoing Middle East conflict involving Israel and Hezbollah, backed by Iran, but also the weakening role of international law, as the longstanding UN peacekeeping mandate in the region is set to expire amidst fears of further violence and territorial changes following the withdrawal of UNIFIL. #MiddleEastConflict #Lebanon #InternationalLaw
The U.S. military has begun a partial blockade of Iranian ports as announced by President Donald Trump, who threatened to destroy Iranian vessels approaching the blockade, while the International Maritime Organization condemned the blockade as "illegal" and further tensions rose with China's call for "unimpeded" passage through the strategically important Strait of Hormuz amidst ongoing conflicts in the region. #MiddleEast #InternationalLaw #Geopolitics
