Beritaterheboh.com - Silang pendapat China dan Indonesia tentang klaim perairan Laut Natuna belum selesai. Setelah Indonesia menegaskan klaim China bertentangan dengan hukum internasional yang sah, China tetap menganggap perairan Laut Natuna bagian dari negaranya. Indonesia berpijak pada Konvensi Perserikatan Bangsa-Bangsa tentang Hukum Laut atau United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). Pada 2016, pengadilan internasional tentang Laut China Selatan menyatakan klaim 9 Garis Putus-putus sebagai batas teritorial laut Negeri Tirai Bambu itu tidak mempunyai dasar historis. Lalu, apa kata China? "Pihak China secara tegas menentang negara mana pun, organisasi, atau individu yang menggunakan arbitrasi tidak sah untuk merugikan kepentingan China," kata juru bicara Menteri Luar Negeri Republik Rakyat China, Geng Shuang, dalam keterangan pers reguler, 2 Januari 2020, dilansir dari situs Kementerian Luar Negeri RRC, Jumat (3/1/2020).
Geng berbicara menanggapi keterangan Kemlu RI pada Selasa (1/1) kemarin. Indonesia menyatakan klaim China terhadap Zona Ekonomi Eksklusif Indonesia tidak punya dasar yang sah dan tak diakui UNCLOS. Indonesia menegaskan bahwa klaim 9 Garis Putus-putus dari China telah dimentahkan Pengadilan Arbitrase Laut China Selatan untuk menyelesaikan sengketa Filipina vs China (South China Sea Tribunal 2016). "Saya menjelaskan posisi China dan dalil-dalil isu tentang Laut China Selatan sehari sebelum kemarin dan tak ada gunanya saya mengulangi lagi," kata Geng dalam keterangan pers tertulis berbentuk tanya-jawab itu.(detik.com)

U.S. airstrike kills top Iran general, Qassim Suleimani, at Baghdad airport - NBC News
The United States killed a high-profile commander of Iran's secretive Quds Force, the Defense Department said late Thursday.
"At the direction of the President, the U.S. military has taken decisive defensive action to protect U.S. personnel abroad," the department said in a statement announcing the death of Qassim Suleimani, a commander of Iran's military forces in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon and elsewhere throughout the Middle East.
The deadly airstrike is likely to escalate tensions between the U.S. and Iran.
Another man, Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, said to be the deputy of the militias known as the Popular Mobilization Units and a close adviser to Suleimani, was also killed in the airstrike near Baghdad's airport, according to Iraqi television reports. The PMU tweeted that al-Muhandis and Suleimani were killed when their vehicle was hit on the road to the airport.

In the past, the United States has credited Suleimani's militias with combating a U.S. enemy in Iraq — the Islamic State. Suleimani's Quds Force was a division of Iran's Revolutionary Guard, widely believed to support many Iran-backed terrorist groups, such as Hezbollah.
"This strike was aimed at deterring future Iranian attack plans," the Defense Department said in its statement. "The United States will continue to take all necessary action to protect our people and our interests wherever they are around the world."
The Pentagon said Suleimani had been actively developing plans to attack U.S. diplomats and service members in Iraq and elsewhere throughout the region.
Rioters tried for two days to scale the fortress-like walls at the United States' largest embassy. They retreated under a show of force from the Pentagon; 100 Marines were airlifted into the compound, and about 700 more Army paratroopers are expected soon in Kuwait from a global response force based at Fort Bragg, North Carolina.
Earlier, Defense Secretary Mark Esper threatened a pre-emptive strike against Iranian militias if there were any renewed attacks against U.S. personnel or interests in Iraq. The chairman of the Joint Chief of Staff told reporters that attackers would run into a buzz saw.
The U.S. strike comes amid heightened tensions between the United States and Iran over rocket attacks in Iraq that U.S. officials had blamed on Iranian-backed forces, as well as the attempted breach of the embassy compound in Baghdad.
The conflict at the embassy occurred after U.S. fighter jets struck weapons depots in Iraq and Syria that the United States said were linked with a group called Kataeb Hezbollah, which it blames for attacks on bases of the U.S.-led coalition fighting ISIS in recent months.
At least 25 militia fighters were killed in the airstrikes. The strikes followed the death of a U.S. contractor who was killed on Dec. 27 in a rocket attack on an Iraqi military base in Kirkuk that also hosted coalition forces. Several U.S. service members were also injured.

The Defense Department said in announcing the strike Thursday night that Suleimani had orchestrated attacks on coalition bases in Iraq over several months, including the Dec. 27 attack that killed the contractor.
He "also approved the attacks on the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad that took place this week," the Defense Department said in the statement.
Iran's foreign minister, Javad Zarif, called the U.S. action "an extremely dangerous and foolish escalation."
"The U.S. bears responsibility for all consequences of its rogue adventurism," Zarif wrote Twitter.
Iran is likely to retaliate with terrorism and cyberattacks, said Norman Roule, a 34-year CIA veteran who oversaw national intelligence policy on Iran before he retired in 2017.
Roule said in a telephone interview that the U.S. move puts the United States and Iran in a confrontation unlike any other since the hostage crisis in 1979.
"I believe it is highly likely the U.S. would not have undertaken this action unless it believed doing so would have prevented the loss of American lives," Roule said. "American officials are fully aware of the consequences such an action would produce."
The former head of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Mohsen Rezaee, vowed “strong revenge against the United States” on Twitter.
Trump has not appeared to comment on the strike, but he tweeted an image of a U.S. flag with no text.

Earlier this week, when asked about the possibility of war with Iran, Trump said: "I don't see that happening. No, I don't think Iran would want that to happen."
"I want to have peace. I like peace. And Iran should want peace more than anybody," Trump told reporters at his New Year's Eve event at Mar-a-Lago in Florida.
At least one lawmaker expressed alarm at the action.

Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., a member of the Foreign Relations Committee, tweeted: "Soleimani was an enemy of the United States. That's not a question."
"The question is this — as reports suggest, did America just assassinate, without any congressional authorization, the second most powerful person in Iran, knowingly setting off a potential massive regional war?" Murphy said in the tweet.
Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., also a member of the Foreign Relations Committee, tweeted that the United States and Trump "exercised admirable restraint while setting clear red lines & the consequences for crossing them" after what he said were repeated attacks by the Revolutionary Guard.
"#Iran's Quds Force chose the path of escalation," Rubio said in the tweet. "They are entirely to blame for bringing about the dangerous moment now before us."
Sen. Ben Sasse, R-Neb., a member of the Intelligence Committee, said in a statement: "This is very simple: General Soleimani is dead because he was an evil bastard who murdered Americans." Sasse said "the president made the brave and right call."
Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., said in a statement that Suleimani "masterminded Iran's reign of terror for decades, including the deaths of hundreds of Americans."
"Tonight, he got what he richly deserved, and all those American soldiers who died by his hand also got what they deserved: justice,” Cotton said, adding that America is safer with the Quds commander dead.
The Trump administration announced in April that it was designating the Revolutionary Guard a foreign terrorist organization, which is the first time the United States had used that designation on part of another country's government.
Since then, there have been several tense incidents involving the United States and Iran, including one in June, when Iran shot down a U.S. surveillance drone that the Revolutionary Guard said had entered Iranian airspace. U.S. Central Command said the aircraft was in international airspace.
The Trump administration also blamed Iran for an attack in September on oil sites in Saudi Arabia, which prompted the United States to deploy military forces to the Middle East that Esper said at the time would be defensive in nature.
Al-Muhandis, the militia official who was killed Thursday, had been accused of plotting attacks on the United States since the 1980s. He was convicted in absentia and sentenced to death by Kuwait for his role in the 1983 attacks on the U.S. and French embassies in Kuwait, in which five Kuwaitis were killed.
The Treasury Department cited al-Muhandis' role in the embassy attack in naming him a Specially Designated National, part of a list of terrorists subject to U.S. sanctions. That designation also said he took part in an assassination attempt on the emir of Kuwait in the early 1980s.
Beritaterheboh.com - Menteri Pekerjaan Umum dan Perumahan Rakyat Basuki Hadimuljono mengatakan tidak mau berdebat soal anggapan Gubernur DKI Jakarta Anies Baswedan bahwa normalisasi Kali Ciliwung belum efektif meredam banjir di Ibu Kota. "Itu harus melihat detail, lihat skemanya, saya enggak mau berdebat lah, saya tidak dididik untuk berdebat," ujar Basuki di Kantor Kementerian Maritim dan Investasi, Jumat, 3 Januari 2020. Basuki lantas menggambarkan situasi di Kampung Pulo, Jatinegara, Jakarta Timur. Basuki mengatakan normalisasi di sana belum rampung sesuai rencana, sehingga air mengalir melalui wilayah yang belum dinormalisasi ke dataran yang rendah. Akibatnya, air menggenang di kawasan tersebut. "Tapi tidak melimpas, bukan berarti melimpasi parapet yang kita bikin, tidak melimpas kan bersih," ujar Basuki. Sebelumnya, Basuki sempat mengatakan bahwa selama penyusuran kali Ciliwing, ternyata normalisasi baru kelar untuk 16 kilometer dari panjang total 33 kilometer. Sehingga, masih ada wilayah yang tergenang, Sementara itu, Gubernur DKI Jakarta Anies Baswedan menyebut normalisasi sungai yang dilakukan pemerintah belum maksimal dalam meredam banjir di ibu kota. Salah satu kali yang telah dinormalisasi adalah Kali Ciliwung. "Memang benar. Di sini memang sudah dilakukan normalisasi, (tapi) faktanya masih tetap terjadi banjir," kata Anies saat meninjau Kali Ciliwung di Kampung Pulo, Jakarta Timur, Kamis, 2 Januari 2020. Kali Ciliwung di kawasan Kampung Pulo, sempat meluap saat hujan di malam tahun baru, Selasa, 31 Desember lalu. Ribuan rumah di sekitar kali tersebut terendam banjir dengan ketinggian 0,5-2 meter. Menurut Anies, perlu ada kajian konfrehensif penanganan banjir yang jangka panjang di ibu kota. Terutama, kata dia, pengendalian air di kawasan hulu dengan membangun bendungan atau dam. Selain dam, mantan Menteri Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan itu, menyebut pemerintah butuh waduk dan embung untuk menampung air. "Sehingga ada kolam-kolam retensi untuk mengontrol atau mengendalikan volume air yg bergerak ke arah hilir," ujarnya. Dengan cara itu, Anies optimistis banjir di ibu kota bisa diminimalisasi. "Tapi itu semua kan kewenangannya di pusat ya. Jadi kami lihat nanti pemerintah pusat," ujarnya. "Di Jakarta fokus kami adalah memastikan keselamatan warga. Memastikan bahwa pelayanan terjamin."(Tempo.co)

Beritaterheboh.com - Terjadi silang pendapat antara Gubernur DKI Jakarta Anies Baswedan dan Kementerian PUPR soal penyebab banjir. Anies menyebut siap berdebat dan berdiskusi penyebab banjir setelah penanganan selesai. "Kalau mau debat masalah sebab, nanti setelah ini selesai. Nanti kita siap berdiskusi. Sekarang kita pikirkan warga yang memerlukan (evakuasi)," ucap Anies Baswedan kepada wartawan di Pintu Air Manggarai, Jakarta, Kamis (2/1/2020). Diketahui, Menteri PUPR Basuki Hadimuljono menyebut penyebab banjir karena pekerjaan normalisasi Ciliwung belum selesai. Namun Anies mengatakan normalisasi tidak efektif jika tidak ada pengendalian air dari hulu. "Coba lihat Kampung Pulo. Kampung Pulo sudah dinormalisasi belum?" tanya Anies kepada wartawan. Kampung Pulo menjadi salah satu titik yang ada normalisasi. Namun pada banjir kali ini, Kampung Pulo pun terendam air. Saat ini Anies mengaku tidak mau berpolemik soal penyebab. Dia ingin mengutamakan penanganan warga. "Saya tidak ingin berpolemik dulu sekarang. Sekarang ini saya memikirkan supaya warga dapat tempat tinggal lagi, bisa beraktivitas," kata Anies.(detik.com)
