Iran attack and Ukraine war expose growing weakness by West to deter threats
Monday, 15 April 2024 () Iran's unprecedented attack on Israel and Russia's full-scale war in Ukraine - in defiance of calls for restraint - appear to expose a growing weakness by Western allies to deter threats.

A Russian missile strike has claimed the lives of at least four individuals in the southern Ukrainian city of Odesa, targeting a Gothic-style building known locally as the "Harry Potter Castle''. Even as night fell, the distinctive turrets of the structure continued to burn, with emergency services assessing the blaze as severe. Reports indicate that residents were caught off guard, as air raid alerts sounded only minutes before the strike, leaving them with insufficient time to seek shelter.

According to McDonald's, higher sales in the
United States helped the fast-food giant overcome
weakness in markets where the brand is being boycotted.
The company saw same-store sales rise by
1.9% worldwide between January and March,
below the Wall Street forecast of 2.1%.
Increased menu pricing and delivery demand
saw same-store sales in the U.S. increase by 2.5%.
In international markets, sales fell
by 0.2% for the first time since 2020.
Despite this, McDonald's said the company's revenue
increased 5% to reach $6.17 billion, while net income went
up 7% to $1.93 billion, in-line with Wall Street estimates.
'The Independent' reports that Muslim-majority
markets like Indonesia, Malaysia and the Middle East
have been boycotting McDonald's for months.
The boycotts started after a McDonald's franchise in
Israel announced in October that it would provide free
meals for Israeli troops amid the ongoing war in Gaza.
In the months since then, the company has tried to limit
the fallout by taking over all 225 McDonald's in the country
with the purchase of Alyonal Limited, its Israeli franchise.
Our hearts remain with
the communities and families
impacted by the war in the Middle East.
We abhor violence of any kind and
firmly stand against hate speech,
and we will always proudly
open our doors to everyone, McDonald's statement, via 'The Indepndent'.
