O grupo iraquiano pró-Irã Saraya Awliya Al Dam afirmou no domingo (1º) ter realizado ataques
contra uma base norte-americana perto do aeroporto de Erbil, no Iraque. Ouviram-se grandes
explosões e flashes alaranjados iluminaram o céu noturno.

aéreas norte-americanas foram acionadas. Um vídeo gravado pela CNN capturou o som de três
explosões.

Outro vídeo da CNN mostra chamas e fumaça subindo da área próxima ao aeroporto de Erbil,
onde os EUA têm a base aérea.

Neste domingo, fotos geolocalizadas pela CNN mostraram uma densa fumaça preta subindo de
um incêndio na Base Aérea de Erbil, onde está estacionado um contingente de tropas norte-
americanas.

Uma milícia apoiada pelo Irã reivindicou a autoria do ataque à base, utilizando drones. Um
número desconhecido de soldados norte-americanos está baseado no Iraque para assessorar e
auxiliar as forças de segurança iraquianas.

O que está acontecendo no Oriente Médio?

Os Estados Unidos e Israel iniciaram no sábado (28) uma onda de ataques contra o Irã, em
meio a tensões sobre o programa nuclear iraniano.

O regime dos aiatolás iniciou retaliação contra países do Oriente Médio que abrigam bases
militares norte-americanas, entre eles: Emirados Árabes Unidos, Catar, Bahrein, Kuwait,
Jordânia e Iraque.

No domingo, a mídia estatal iraniana anunciou que seu líder supremo, o aiatolá Ali Khamenei,
foi uma das vítimas feitas pelos ataques norte-americanos e israelenses.

Após o anúncio da morte de Khamenei, o Irã ameaçou lançar a "ofensiva mais pesada" da
história. O presidente iraniano, Masoud Pezeshkian, afirmou que o país persa considera se
vingar pelos ataques de Israel e dos Estados Unidos como um "direito e dever legítimo".

Em resposta, Trump ameaçou o Irã contra os ataques retaliatórios, dizendo "é melhor que eles
não façam isso, porque se fizerem, nós os atingiremos com uma força nunca antes vista". As
agressões entre as partes seguem neste domingo.

Na véspera, Trump já havia afirmado que os ataques contra o Irã vão continuar "ininterruptos

A few people got the memo. The martial-arts legend’s new directorial effort, Blades of the
Guardians, opened in the U.S. on Feb. 17 to just $761,881 at the box office — a meager total
compared to more aggressively marketed releases, but a genuine win for its distributor, Well
Go USA, one of the top purveyors of Eastern import cinema in North America. The opening was
big enough to encourage another weekend in theaters, which means the Quentin Tarantino
buffs, Christopher Nolan devotees, and Peter Jackson acolytes who swear they love epic
blockbusters haven’t missed out yet.

Blades of the Guardians, based on the Chinese manhua of the same name, follows Dao Ma (Wu
Jing), a biao ren — a combo of a professional bodyguard and bounty hunter — who, by
defending himself against a corrupt governor (Jet Li), becomes the “second most wanted
fugitive in the land.” At first, he survives by zigging and zagging through a gray zone between a
warrior’s code of honor and the official brutality of imperial power. But when Dao Ma’s
benefactor Lao Mo (Tony Leung Ka-fai) tasks him with escorting the revolutionary Zhishilang,
deemed the actual “most wanted criminal in the empire,” everyone is suddenly on his tail.

Naturally, a nice ride through the sunny sands of the Gobi Desert devolves into a relentless
gauntlet of ambushes and betrayals. Dao Ma’s nephew Xiao Qi, the fierce warrior Ayuya, rival
bounty hunters, and political operatives all collide in a nonstop pursuit. It’s dense with names
and locations, but basic in its storytelling: Dao Ma really just needs to get all of his new friends
out alive! As a director with a knack for precision, Yuen trusts the audience to understand
relationships through action, glances, and blade work rather than exposition dumps.

You would think that credits like The Matrix, Drunken Master, Iron Monkey, Crouching Tiger,
Hidden Dragon, Kill Bill, Kung Fu Hustle, the Ip Man films, and decades of collaboration with Jet
Li would have movie fans of every kind racing out the door to see the next great Yuen Woo-
ping movie playing in theaters. And yet here we are. Were you aware??

A few people got the memo. The martial-arts legend’s new directorial effort, Blades of the
Guardians, opened in the U.S. on Feb. 17 to just $761,881 at the box office — a meager total
compared to more aggressively marketed releases, but a genuine win for its distributor, Well
Go USA, one of the top purveyors of Eastern import cinema in North America. The opening was
big enough to encourage another weekend in theaters, which means the Quentin Tarantino
buffs, Christopher Nolan devotees, and Peter Jackson acolytes who swear they love epic
blockbusters haven’t missed out yet.

Blades of the Guardians, based on the Chinese manhua of the same name, follows Dao Ma (Wu
Jing), a biao ren — a combo of a professional bodyguard and bounty hunter — who, by
defending himself against a corrupt governor (Jet Li), becomes the “second most wanted
fugitive in the land.” At first, he survives by zigging and zagging through a gray zone between a
warrior’s code of honor and the official brutality of imperial power. But when Dao Ma’s
benefactor Lao Mo (Tony Leung Ka-fai) tasks him with escorting the revolutionary Zhishilang,
deemed the actual “most wanted criminal in the empire,” everyone is suddenly on his tail.

Naturally, a nice ride through the sunny sands of the Gobi Desert devolves into a relentless
gauntlet of ambushes and betrayals. Dao Ma’s nephew Xiao Qi, the fierce warrior Ayuya, rival
bounty hunters, and political operatives all collide in a nonstop pursuit. It’s dense with names
and locations, but basic in its storytelling: Dao Ma really just needs to get all of his new friends
out alive! As a director with a knack for precision, Yuen trusts the audience to understand
relationships through action, glances, and blade work rather than exposition dumps.
