📰 U.S. Officially Completes Withdrawal from World Health Organization

🇺🇸 The United States has formally finalized its withdrawal from the World Health Organization, the Department of Health and Human Services announced Thursday, marking the end of a decades-long membership in the global health body.

✍️ President Donald Trump signed an executive order on his first day back in office in 2025 directing the U.S. to leave the WHO, citing what he described as the agency’s mishandling of the COVID-19 pandemic and concerns over what he called disproportionate financial contributions compared to other member nations.

📅 Nearly one year later, the Departments of Health and Human Services and State confirmed the withdrawal process is now complete. U.S. officials said the move fulfills a key foreign policy and public health pledge made by the president.

🌍 The U.S. had been a WHO member since the organization’s founding in 1948. The agency, a specialized arm of the United Nations, coordinates international public health efforts, including disease monitoring and responses to global outbreaks.

📰 Russia Warns Western Forces in Ukraine Could Become ‘Legitimate Targets’

⚠️ Russia on Thursday issued a stark warning that any Western military forces deployed to Ukraine under planned post-war security arrangements would be considered “legitimate combat targets,” sharply criticizing a newly signed Paris declaration on security guarantees for Kyiv.

📜 In a statement on the Russian Foreign Ministry’s Telegram channel, spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said the agreement — backed by Ukraine, the United States and several European nations — does not further peace but instead fuels military escalation.

🇷🇺 Zakharova specifically objected to language supporting a multinational force and ongoing military aid to Ukraine’s armed forces. She warned that Moscow would view foreign troops, military infrastructure or facilities on Ukrainian soil as direct foreign intervention.

🌍 The remarks underscore deep tensions over how to secure and stabilize Ukraine after the war, with Russia rejecting Western security commitments as provocative and threatening.

📰 Iran Reports 3,117 Dead in Protest Crackdown as Activists Cite Higher Toll
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Iran on Wednesday released its first official death toll from a sweeping crackdown on nationwide protests, reporting 3,117 people killed, a figure far lower than estimates from activists abroad. 🇮🇷
State television cited the Interior Ministry and a government foundation for war victims as sources for the count, saying 2,427 of the dead were civilians and security forces. Officials did not clarify the status of the remaining victims. Tehran has previously faced accusations of underreporting casualties during unrest.
📊 The U.S.-based Human Rights Activists News Agency put the toll at nearly 5,000, saying its figures come from a network of sources inside Iran. Other human rights groups have also published higher estimates, highlighting the difficulty of verifying numbers amid tight government restrictions.
📵 Independent reporting has been hampered by internet shutdowns, blocked international calls and limits on journalists’ access. Iranian state media has described demonstrators as foreign-backed “rioters,” offering no evidence for the claim.
⚠️ In a separate development, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi warned that Iran would “fire back with everything we have” if it faces renewed U.S. military action, underscoring rising tensions with Washington.

📰 Mexico Extradites Dozens of Suspected Cartel Operatives to the U.S.

✈️ MEXICO CITY — Mexican authorities have transferred 37 alleged cartel members to the United States, Security Minister Omar García Harfuch announced Tuesday, as Washington ramps up calls for stronger regional action against drug trafficking organizations.

🔒 García Harfuch labeled the detainees “high-risk criminals” who represented a major threat to public safety. With this latest handover, the total number of suspected cartel figures sent from Mexico to the U.S. over the past year has reached 92, making it the third such transfer in under 12 months.

🎥 Video released by officials showed prisoners in handcuffs under tight security being escorted onto a military aircraft at an airport outside Mexico City, underscoring the scale and seriousness of the operation.

🌎 Observers say the move highlights growing political pressure from U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration, which has urged neighboring countries to intensify efforts to stem the flow of narcotics across the border. Neither the U.S. State Department nor the Justice Department immediately issued public statements regarding the transfers.

📰 SDF Loses Control of ISIS Prison in Northeast Syria After Clashes

⚔️ NORTHEAST SYRIA — U.S.-allied Kurdish forces said Monday they lost control of a prison holding Islamic State militants after heavy fighting with forces loyal to the Syrian government. The Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) warned the situation could spiral into a “serious security catastrophe.”

📍 The facility, located less than two miles from a U.S.-led coalition base, was reportedly not defended despite repeated SDF calls for intervention. The group said the prison is now “no longer in SDF control,” raising fears of potential escapes by detained ISIS fighters.

🔥 The SDF also reported clashes near another detention center, Al-Aqtan prison outside Raqqa — once the heart of ISIS’s self-declared caliphate. Dozens of SDF fighters were killed near the Shaddadi prison in Hasaka province, where the group said it had been coordinating with the international coalition to transfer detainees in recent days.

🤝 Although the Syrian army and the SDF signed a ceasefire Sunday aimed at halting violence that has displaced thousands, tensions remain high. Damascus accused the SDF of releasing ISIS prisoners from Shaddadi, saying its forces were now securing the prison and searching nearby areas for escapees, according to state media.

📰 ISRAEL LAUNCHES LARGE-SCALE OPERATION TO FIND LAST GAZA HOSTAGE AMID CEASEFIRE TALKS

📍 Nahariya, Israel — Israel announced on Sunday that its military has begun a “large-scale operation” in Gaza to locate the last remaining hostage, as the United States and other mediators intensify pressure on Israel and Hamas to advance to the next phase of their ceasefire agreement.

📢 The announcement came as Israel’s Cabinet convened to discuss the potential reopening of the Rafah border crossing between Gaza and Egypt, a critical gateway for humanitarian aid. The meeting followed high-level talks a day earlier between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and senior U.S. envoys regarding the future steps of the ceasefire.

🔥 The return of the final hostage, Ran Gvili, is widely viewed as the final hurdle to reopening the Rafah crossing and moving forward with the second phase of the U.S.-brokered ceasefire.

📜 Late Sunday, Netanyahu’s office stated: “Upon completion of this operation, and in accordance with what has been agreed upon with the United States, Israel will open the Rafah crossing.” No specific timeline was provided, though Israeli military officials told local media that the operation could take several days.

🕊️ The recovery of all remaining hostages—alive or deceased—has been a core component of the first phase of the ceasefire, which came into effect on October 10. Prior to Sunday, the last hostage had been recovered in early December, according to Israeli officials.
