From CUBA- Luis Almagro, the secretary-general of the OAS (The Organization of American States), admitted his responsibility in the coup d'etat in Bolivia, that forced president Evo Morales to be exiled from his country, by falsely reporting that his election was corrupt. Two of the ministers installed by the coup president Jeanine Anez have escaped the country to avoid prosecution. Iran responded to the threats from Trump to bomb its nuclear facilities as reported by the NYT. On Wednesday morning Israel bombed Iran-linked targets in Syria, killing Syrians and others.
