Iranian leader sides with rebels in Iraq
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei of Iran condemned U.S. actions in Iraq calling them stupid and shameless in a radio broadcast to theology students. He drew parallels to the fight against Muqtada al-Sadr and urged Muslim communities not to remain silent as U.S. forces battle Shiite factions in Najaf and Karbala. The remarks followed heavy clashes and attacks on bases, civilians, and U.S. and coalition personnel across southern Iraq.

Powell scolds Arafat and Israel over stalled peace talks
Secretary of State Colin Powell accused Yasser Arafat of blocking Palestinian security reform and urged him to yield control of security forces. He criticized Israeli home demolitions and pressed Palestinian and Arab leaders to remove Arafat, while noting any immediate negotiations remain unlikely. Powell urged Qureia to seize Sharon's Gaza withdrawal offer, as Bush presses for a viable peace path by 2005.
