‘Knuckleheads' Tucker Carlson and Ted Cruz roasted for being ‘clueless' on Iran
Attorney Elica Le Bon claims the debate between conservative commentator Tucker Carlson and US Republican Senator Ted Cruz on Iran was 'comedic relief'. 'You have two knuckleheads debating each other about a country that none of them knows anything about,' Ms Le Bon told Sky News Senior Reporter Caroline Marcus. 'The most clueless people are claiming to represent what Iranian people want, and neither of them are even interested in listening to what Iranian people want. 'They just have absolutely no knowledge or interest in what's really going on in Iran.'

‘Antisemitism in disguise': Activists who praise Iran's attacks shamed for being ‘inauthentic'
Attorney Elica Le Bon claims the activists who praise the attacks on Israel by Iran are showing 'antisemitism in disguise'. An Iranian missile has hit an Israeli hospital in the country's south, as well as more rockets continue to hit residential areas. 'There was no outrage … the world's reaction was 'they deserve it',' Ms Le Bon told Sky News Senior Reporter Caroline Marcus. 'No matter what you feel about Israel's government … there is no excuse for dehumanising an entire nation of people. 'All of their activism is not real, it's not authentic. 'If it really was authentic … then they would've been just as upset to see Israeli civilians being killed. 'This passion for antisemitism is bringing us to another world war.

‘Like a dystopian episode of Black mirror': New Yorkers slammed for war crimes protest
Attorney Elica Le Bon slams the hundreds of people who protested in Times Square in New York, calling for an end to US war crimes in Gaza and Iran, with some reportedly waving the Iranian regime flag. 'We don't even call them the Iranian regime, they are the Islamic regime … it is not the name we gave them; it's the name that they gave themselves,' Ms Le Bon told Sky News Senior Reporter Caroline Marcus. 'That flag is a flag that symbolises oppression for tens of millions of Iranians. 'It's both upsetting and incredibly ironic that we're seeing these so-called human rights protestors go pouring out into the streets for the first time to say hands off the regime in Iran. 'Where were they when it was time to say hands off the Iranian people for 46 years that this regime was oppressing and harming Iranian people? 'It's literally like living in a dystopian episode of Black Mirror.'
