<p>Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has expressed Russia's support for India and Brazil's bid for a permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council.<br />
<br />
In his address at the 79th United Nations General Assembly on, he stressed that a "fairer world order" requires the expansion of the representation of the Global South in the UNSC.<br />
<br />
Lavrov stated, "We are not stepping away from dialogue with the West. In July, upon the proposal of Russia, there was an open debate in the Security Council on the subject of building a more just, more sustainable world order. We believe it is important to begin the discussion that has begun in the UN as well as in other platforms. A fairer world order undoubtedly requires the expansion of the representation of the Global South in the UN Security Council."<br />
<br />
"We support our position in favour of the candidacies of Brazil and India, while at the same time taking a positive decision on the well-known initiatives of the African Union. However, of course, we cannot even talk about any additional seats for Western countries, who are already excessively over-represented within the Security Council," he added.<br />
<br />
Notably, India has long sought a permanent seat in the Security Council to better represent the interests of the developing world. The nation's quest has gained momentum with support from the international community. Earlier on Friday, Bhutan Prime Minister Tshering Tobgay voiced support for India's bid for a permanent seat on the UNSC.<br />
<br />
In his address, Lavrov accused the West of trampling the values of globalisation. He said that the nations of the West have imposed a sanctions war against half of the nations in the world and is using the dollar as a "weapon."<br />
<br />
Sergey Lavrov said, "Just like Ban Ki-moon and Kofi Annan in the past, the current Secretary-General advanced his own initiative, under the slogan 'rebooting the global cooperation'. It is an excellent slogan, who could be opposed to that."</p>

<br />
"But, what global cooperation can we really talk about at a time when the West has trampled all of these unshakeable values of globalisation that they have been telling us about for so many years from this...trying to convince us that they would ensure equal access for everyone to the goods of contemporary civilisation, where is the inviability of property, the presumption of innocence, freedom of speech, access to information, fair competition on markets with understandable and changing rules," he added.<br />
<br />
Stressing that West has been using dollar as a weapon, Lavrov said, "The Secretary-General is talking about the global cooperation. At the sametime, the countries of the West have unleashed a varitable sanctions war against a good half, if not the majority of the states in the world and the dollar which was advertised to us as the heritage and good of all of humanity has been worsely tranformed as a weapon."<br />
<br />
Calling Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's peace formula "hopeless," Lavrov urged Russia's partners to take into account the facts about the real causes of the situation.<br />
<br />
"We value the sincere aim of a number of our partners to advance mediation initiatives. We value their constructive focus on results, unlike the hopeless Zelenskyy peace formula. We call upon friends in their further efforts to fully take into account the facts about the real causes of the situation," he said.<br />
<br />
In 2022, Zelensky&nbsp;presented Ukraine's 10-point peace formula to world leaders at the G20 Summit in Indonesia's Bali. The 10-point peace formula includes a path to nuclear safety and food security, a special tribunal for alleged Russian war crimes and a final peace treaty with Moscow.</p>

Body of Hezbollah chief Nasrallah recovered from site of Israeli air attack in Lebanon: Report

<p>Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi, on Sunday (Sep 29), said that the killing of Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps Deputy Commander Brig General Abbas Nilforoushan in Lebanon by Israel in airstrikes "will not go unanswered".&nbsp;</p>

<p>Nilforoushan, the deputy commander of IRGC operations, was killed on Friday (Sep 27) in an Israeli airstrike in Beirut, that also eliminated Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In 2022, Nilforoushan faced&nbsp;sanctions by the United States&nbsp;and the US said that he was “directly in charge of protest suppression” amid demonstrations in Iran over the death of Mahsa Amini following her&nbsp;arrest for allegedly not wearing her headscarf to the liking of police.</p>

<p>The IRCG released a statement on Saturday, describing him as the Revolutionary Guards'&nbsp;“military adviser in Lebanon.”</p>

US forces conducted two separate strikes in Syria, killing 37 "terrorist operatives," including members of the Islamic State group and Al Qaeda affiliate Hurras al-Din, the military's Central Command (CENTCOM) said Sunday.

US forces conducted two separate strikes in Syria, killing 37 "terrorist operatives," including members of the Islamic State group and Al Qaeda affiliate Hurras al-Din, the military's Central Command (CENTCOM) said Sunday. A September 24 strike in northwest Syria killed nine "terrorist operatives," including senior Hurras al-Din leader Marwan Bassam 'Abd-al-Ra'uf, the US military said. A September 16 strike in central Syria targeted an IS training camp and killed at least 28 people, including four senior leaders, the statement said. It did not identify the leaders. The US military has around 900 troops in Syria as part of the international coalition against the Islamic State group. The coalition was established in 2014 to help combat the armed group, which had taken over vast swaths of Iraq and Syria.
