United Nations human rights experts have demanded that the Taliban regime revoke its new penal code, which they claim is in violation of international laws. According to Afghan media, the experts have described the new code as a threat to human dignity and have called for its abolition. The experts argue that the penal code’s ambiguous definitions of crimes and unlimited powers of judges can be used to target the innocent and weaker sections of society.
Meanwhile, British Parliament has called for an emergency motion against Israel, which has garnered the support of 75 members. Donald Trump has stated that the US will not extend the ceasefire period, which is set to expire on Tuesday. If Iran fails to reach a deal, the US will resume its attacks.

French President Emmanuel Macron has stated that it is the responsibility of the Lebanese government to apprehend individuals involved in the attack on the international force.
In response to the Iranian attack, the US Navy fired warning shots at Iranian speedboats in the Strait of Hormuz, which were attempting to block an oil tanker carrying 20 million barrels of Iraqi oil. In a statement, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said that Iran’s navy is fully prepared to inflict a new and bitter defeat on its enemies.
According to the British Maritime Agency, a report has been filed of a incident 20 nautical miles east of Oman, where Iranian speedboats approached the oil tanker. Khamenei stated that Iran will not accept any exception to international law and will not compromise on its rights. Foreign news agencies report that Khamenei has said that the US is trying to weaken the diplomatic path, and that Iran has partially reopened its airspace and five airports.
The head of Iran’s National Security Committee, Ibrahim Azzizi, has called for a new maritime regime for the Strait of Hormuz.

Iran will respond officially to US proposals, with the Supreme National Security Council. High government sources have denied that the second round of talks between the US and Iran did not take place in Islamabad on Tuesday.
