Iranian Foreign Ministry: Cannot accept NPT obligations without enjoying its rights
The spokesperson for the Iranian Foreign Ministry, Ismail Baghaei, stated on Wednesday evening that Iran cannot accept obligations under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) without enjoying the rights granted by it.
The Iranian news agency IRNA quoted Baghaei as calling on the international community to condemn the hostile actions taken by the United States in targeting peaceful nuclear facilities on Iranian soil before focusing on Iran's nuclear program.
Baghaei also mentioned that Tehran had received a message from Oman regarding a ceasefire following the attack on the "Al-Udeid" American base in Qatar. He explained that the selection of this base as the target of the Iranian strike was based on specific calculations and assessments made by the relevant military authorities.

Mass rallies in Al-Dhale' affirm solidarity with Gaza & rejection of treacherous deals
Dhale' – Saba: Massive rallies were held on Friday across the districts of Damt, Al-Hasha, Qa'atabah, and Juban in Al-Dhale' province under the slogan: 'Steadfast with Gaza and Palestine... Rejecting Deceptive and Treacherous Deals.' Participants in the marches—led in Damt by the Acting Governor Abdul Latif Al-Shaghadri and Mobilization Official Ahmed Al-Murani—chanted slogans of mobilization and readiness to confront the forces of tyranny. They also raised powerful chants condemning the genocidal crimes, starvation tactics, and siege imposed by the American-Zionist enemy on their brothers in Gaza, amid disgraceful Arab, Islamic, and global silence. The demonstrators reaffirmed their unwavering stance against the genocide and starvation of the people of Gaza, pledged continued support for the Palestinian people and their courageous resistance. They also strongly condemned the shameful Arab and Islamic silence in the face of the Zionist entity's crimes, including genocide, starvation, deprivation of food, medicine, and water. They expressed their full alignment with the revolutionary leader, Sayyed Abdul-Malik Badr al-Din al-Houthi, in all efforts aimed at reinforcing Yemen's principled position in defending the Palestinian cause. The demonstrators announced their full support for the fourth phase of escalation announced by the Yemeni Armed Forces. They reaffirmed their absolute trust in and mandate to Sayyed Abdul-Malik Badr al-Din al-Houthi, expressing full readiness to carry out any measures required to confront the Zionist-American enemy until the aggression stops and the siege on Gaza is lifted—no matter the sacrifices. A statement issued at the rallies declared that the American- and Western-backed Zionist crimes in Gaza—particularly the deaths from starvation—have reached unprecedented levels, documented in sound and image. This, the statement said, places humanity under a dire test: a test of conscience for the world, of faith and humanity for the Islamic Ummah, and an even more critical test of humanity, faith, and Arab brotherhood for the Arab world. The statement emphasized that no one is exempt—neither peoples, regimes, parties, nor movements—regardless of time. The results of this test, it said, will be recorded by God in the Book of Deeds, remembered in the annals of history, judged by God in this life and the hereafter. It reiterated that the Yemeni people, both officially and popularly, militarily and civilly, remain firmly committed to their advanced position in support of Palestine and will not back down. Yemen refuses to be counted among the indifferent or disgraced, but rather seeks to be recorded—before God , humankind—as holding a faithful, humane, and fraternal position. The statement praised the Yemeni Armed Forces' decision to activate the fourth escalation phase, describing it as an expression of the pain and rage felt in the hearts of the people. It urged the Mujahideen of the Armed Forces to carry out operations against any company belonging to inhumane states collaborating with the most heinous criminals of this era. It also saluted the continuation of the Palestinian resistance operations in Gaza despite the dire conditions, stating that those efforts—alongside the actions of the Yemeni Armed Forces and any genuine initiative—are the only true sources of hope, after God, for changing the current reality in Gaza. The statement stressed that diplomatic niceties, hollow statements, and deceptive gestures lacking genuine action have never rescued the oppressed, fed the hungry, or quenched the thirsty. Even the smallest military efforts, it noted, when made sincerely, are accompanied by God's promise of victory and warning of humiliation and defeat for the aggressors. It also warned those who, driven by betrayal and subservience, seek to sow chaos and sedition in order to weaken Yemen's stance against the American and Israeli enemies and undermine support for the Palestinian people. Such actions, it said, aim to destroy the most honorable and noble stance Yemen holds for Gaza, Palestine, and Al-Aqsa. The statement declared that Yemen has sacrificed thousands of martyrs and endured immense suffering, pain, sieges, and military alliances for its stance in support of Palestine—and is ready to sacrifice even more. Those who believe they can reverse this legacy of pride and drag Yemen back into humiliation, betrayal, and submission are only hastening their own destruction and condemning themselves to the lowest depths of Hell. Finally, the statement affirmed that the Yemeni people and their Armed Forces are at the highest level of readiness to confront any conspiracy, aggression, or betrayal. It called on all—officials and citizens alike—to remain vigilant, mobilized, proactive, relying on God for strength and victory. Whatsapp Telegram Email Print more of (Local)

Slovenia summons Israeli ambassador to protest humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza
Ljubljana – Saba: The Slovenian Ministry of Foreign Affairs summoned the accredited Israeli ambassador on Thursday to protest the severe humanitarian catastrophe resulting from restrictions on urgent aid delivery to the Gaza Strip. In a post on its official X (formerly Twitter) account, the Slovenian Foreign Ministry announced that it had summoned the newly appointed Israeli ambassador to Ljubljana, Ruth Cohen Dar, to the ministry. The ministry stated: "The Slovenian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has taken a diplomatic initiative by summoning the Israeli ambassador accredited to Slovenia to protest the severe humanitarian catastrophe caused by restrictions on the delivery of urgent humanitarian aid to Gaza." Slovenia also called on Israel to immediately halt the killing and starvation of civilians. Palestinians in Gaza are facing an unprecedented wave of hunger since the Israeli occupation forces closed the strip's crossings in early March, imposing strict restrictions on the entry of food, relief supplies, fuel, and medicine. Over time, Gaza's residents have exhausted all food resources, leaving shops empty and making it nearly impossible to find a loaf of bread. Meanwhile, available goods have seen a dramatic surge in prices, turning "death by starvation" into one of the leading causes of death in the strip. With American and European support, the Israeli occupation army has continued to commit genocidal crimes in Gaza since October 7, 2023, resulting in the martyrdom of 60,249 Palestinian civilians, most of them children and women, and injuring 147,089 others—figures that are not yet final, as thousands remain trapped under rubble or in streets inaccessible to rescue teams.

Hamas Official: Wittekof's visit to Gaza is propaganda to contain rising anger
Gaza – Saba: Izzat al-Rishq, a member of the Political Bureau of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), described the visit of U.S. Special Envoy Wittekof to the Gaza Strip on Thursday as a "propaganda display" aimed at containing escalating anger over the American-"Israeli" partnership in starving the Palestinian people in the Strip. In a press statement received by the Yemeni News Agency (SABA), al-Rishq said, "Wittekof sees in Gaza only what the Zionist enemy wants him to see, and he views the ongoing tragedy through misleading Israeli eyes." He added, "He certainly will not witness the operation of the 'starvation guillotine,' misleadingly called the 'Gaza Humanitarian Foundation,' or how it prepares the stage for killing by the Zionist war machine." Al-Rishq emphasized that the White House's acknowledgment of the "Gaza famine" after denying it—without condemning the Israeli enemy responsible—means absolving the perpetrator and providing political cover for the continuation of the gravest crime in modern history.
