Iran’s supreme leader made his first appearance on Wednesday since Iran’s attack on Israel. He did not directly talk about the strikes, but blamed Israel for the fighting in the Middle East. He also criticized the United States and some European countries. Meanwhile, Israel said it is continuing its ground operation in southern Lebanon. Israel’s foreign ministry banned U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres from entering the country. Guterres issued a brief statement on Tuesday referencing the latest escalation in the Middle East but he didn’t call out Iran for the attack. Israel said anyone who can’t unequivocally condemn Iran’s attack doesn’t deserve to set foot on Israeli soil.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams was back in court on Wednesday, this time for a status conference, after his federal indictment last week. District Judge Dale Ho is set to oversee his criminal trial on corruption charges. Adams pleaded not guilty to the federal charges last week.
