President Pezeshkian: Zionist-American Aggression on Iran is Mockery of International Law
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stated on Tuesday that the Zionist-American aggression against his country constitutes a mockery of international law.
In a message sent to the International Conference on Financing for Development, President Pezeshkian said: "The Zionist-American aggression, which resulted in the martyrdom and injury of more than 6,000 civilians in Iran, is a blatant violation of the UN Charter, the Non-Proliferation Treaty, and the fundamental principles of international human rights law," according to the IRNA news agency.
He emphasized that this aggression ridicules international efforts aimed at promoting multilateralism and respect for international law, calling on UN member states to condemn this illegal act of aggression.
Pezeshkian also addressed the economic, trade, and financial discrimination faced by developing countries, expressing regret over such practices within international financial institutions.
He called for reforms in relevant procedures to improve the situation of developing nations, expressing hope that the Fourth International Conference on Financing for Development would effectively address these challenges and produce tangible, practical steps in this direction.
This statement comes amid escalating tensions following recent attacks on Iran, with Tehran positioning itself as a victim of Western-Zionist aggression while rallying international support against what it describes as unlawful and oppressive policies.

Yemen : IDF intercepts Houthi Missiles
The Israeli Air Force intercepted missiles launched from Yemen and Gaza on Tuesday night, after sirens sent people across the country to seek shelter. Sirens sounded in multiple areas, including most of Jerusalem, Ben Gurion Airport, Modiin, Rishon Lezion and some West Bank settlements. No injuries or damage were reported. Sirens also sounded in the Gaza envelope after two rockets were launched from southern Gaza. The Israel Defense Forces said those rockets likewise caused no injuries. Rocket fire from Gaza has become rare after 20 months of fighting between Israel and Hamas. The Houthis — whose slogan calls for 'Death to America, Death to Israel, [and] a Curse on the Jews' — are an Iranian proxy that began attacking Israel and maritime traffic in November 2023, a month after the October 7 Hamas massacre. Since March 18, when a ceasefire ended and the IDF resumed its offensive against Hamas in the Gaza Strip, the Houthis have launched more than 50 ballistic missiles and at least 13 drones at Israel. Several of the missiles have fallen short.

Meeting of Foreign Ministry Leadership reaffirms full support for Military Front in confronting aggression
Sana'a – Saba: A meeting was held in Sana'a today, chaired by the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates, Jamal Amer, and attended by the leadership of the political and consular sectors. The meeting discussed diplomatic and administrative issues, focusing on elevating the level of political engagement to confront aggression through a strong diplomatic front. Diplomacy, it was noted, should serve as a solid support and complement to the armed forces led by Sayyed Abdulmalik Badr al-Din al-Houthi, which have proven to be a deterrent force and an unignorable strategic actor. This strength has granted Yemen's political role increased effectiveness in negotiations and consultations with various international powers to confront military escalation. Minister Amer stressed that the diplomatic front must exhibit the same strength and clarity as the Yemeni armed forces. He stated: 'The next stage does not allow for half-solutions or neutrality. One must choose either the national liberation path that rejects hegemony and foreign dependency, or align with those who have betrayed their homeland and become mere tools and mercenaries for regional and international powers of dominance.' He emphasized the need to keep pace with the current transformative stage, which leaves no room for ambiguity or indecision. Amer reiterated: 'Sana'a clearly declares that peace is its strategic choice and war is the exception,' affirming Yemen's readiness to confront any imposed aggression. The minister praised the growing military capability and the popular unity around the leadership, stressing the continued role of the diplomatic front in defending Yemen's grievances and those of the Palestinian people in Gaza on the international stage. Regarding the Red Sea situation, Amer affirmed Sana'a's clear and unwavering stance. He underscored Yemen's commitment to the safety and security of international maritime navigation in the Red Sea, Bab al-Mandab, and the Suez Canal. He clarified that the decision to prevent the passage of Israeli ships is a temporary measure, directly linked to ending the aggression on Gaza and allowing unrestricted humanitarian aid. He described this stance as humanitarian, religious, and moral, especially in light of international and regional silence on the Zionist crimes in Gaza. The minister also called for continued efforts to develop and improve diplomatic performance in line with local, regional, and global developments. He announced the completion of procedures to adopt the financial bylaw for the diplomatic corps, in accordance with Law No. (5) amending certain provisions of the Diplomatic Corps Law, which is supported by the President of the Supreme Political Council. Participants in the meeting affirmed their commitment to keeping pace with ongoing developments and standing by the leadership until victory and stability are achieved. Several issues related to strengthening diplomatic efforts and countering external conspiracies were discussed during the meeting. The meeting was attended by the Deputy Minister for Financial and Administrative Affairs, Ambassador Mohammed Hajer, as well as heads of departments and general directors from the political and consular sectors of the ministry.

Trump Administration's Policy failure in face of Iran's victory in recent war
By: Abdulaziz Al-Huzzi – Saba News Agency, Sana'a The administration of U.S. President Donald Trump deliberately approached global relations with disdain and arrogance—sometimes issuing military threats, at other times imposing sanctions, tariffs, or engaging in blackmail, weapon sales, or forced trade deals. However, this tired American policy failed in its latest confrontation with Iran. Whenever the Trump administration failed to secure gains through diplomacy or enticements, it would revert to threats and punitive measures or outright military action. It often sought to coerce the other party—whether a state, entity, or organization—into alignment with U.S. hegemonic interests by offering economic or diplomatic incentives to soften their position. Every political negotiation with another party was accompanied by unrealistic, even humiliating demands—akin to surrender terms. If diplomacy didn't work, the U.S. would impose economic sanctions and threaten military action, as seen in its approach to Iran, a strong and defiant power in the region. If all else failed militarily, Washington would return to the table begging for negotiations—just as it is now doing with Iran. Meanwhile, it continues to provide unwavering support to Israel against Palestinian resistance, proposing conditions that are unacceptable to the resistance factions. This carrot-and-stick approach—mixing intimidation with enticement—has long been a staple of U.S. foreign policy. Yet, it ran up against the unwavering stance of the Islamic Republic of Iran, which firmly upholds the principles of its revolution, prioritizes national security, and confronts Western powers, especially the U.S. and Israel. Iran's resolute policies reflect its determination to preserve independence and sovereignty, assert itself as a regional power, and resist perceived external and internal threats. This stance is evident in several key areas: Commitment to Revolutionary Principles: Iran sees these as the foundation of its statehood, applying them in all political, economic, and social spheres, while rejecting foreign domination. Strengthening Defense Capabilities: Iran emphasizes the need to bolster its military and defense capacities to safeguard sovereignty, including a proactive deterrence strategy and defense of its nuclear program, considered part of its national security despite international controversy. Strategic Alliances: Iran seeks stronger ties with Russia and China to counterbalance Western influence and circumvent sanctions. It has joined the Shanghai Cooperation Organization and aspires to join BRICS to cement its role in the evolving global order. Before the U.S. encouraged Israel to attack Iran recently, Tehran and Washington were at the negotiating table discussing the nuclear file. Yet behind the scenes, the U.S. and Israel were plotting a blatant attack launched on June 13, targeting Iran's peaceful nuclear facilities, military commanders, top nuclear physicists, and air bases. Iran, in defending itself, thwarted the U.S.-Israeli aggression after 12 days of intense conflict, emerging stronger and more empowered. Today, after this blatant aggression on its nuclear infrastructure, the Trump administration is desperately seeking to bring Iran back to negotiations. Meanwhile, IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi—accused by Tehran of sharing nuclear facility information with Israel—is fueling tensions by suggesting Iran may have moved part of its enriched uranium stockpile prior to the U.S. airstrikes, contradicting Trump's earlier claims that Iran's nuclear program had been 'completely destroyed.' Grossi told American media that while some uranium might have been destroyed, 'it's possible another portion was relocated,' noting that Iran's nuclear program remains 'broad and ambitious' and parts of it may still be operational. Earlier, Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf accused the IAEA of collaborating with Israel in targeting Iranian nuclear sites. He posted on X (formerly Twitter): 'The IAEA gambled its already fragile credibility by sharing our nuclear site info with the criminal Israeli regime, paving the way for aggression, without even publicly condemning the attacks.' Last Wednesday, Iran's parliament passed a bill to suspend cooperation with the IAEA until Iran's nuclear facilities are guaranteed protection. Ali Reza Salimi, a member of the parliamentary committee, confirmed that the decision to cut ties with the IAEA will be sent to Iran's Supreme National Security Council for ratification. The law also imposes penalties on anyone who allows IAEA personnel access to Iran. In this context, retired Turkish Air Force colonel and political analyst Ihsan Sefa, a member of the central committee of Turkey's Vatan Party, stated in an interview with Russia's Novosti Agency that Israel failed to achieve its goals in the recent confrontation with Iran and suffered unexpected human and material losses. Sefa emphasized that Tehran emerged stronger and more respected in the region, shifting the balance of deterrence in its favor. He explained: 'Tel Aviv sought to destroy Iran's nuclear capabilities, demoralize its people, and trigger regime change. None of that happened—instead, Iran's regional standing grew.' He added: 'Iran stands today as it did before the 12-day conflict, but with greater regional respect. So who is the real victor?' Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei declared his country's victory over Israel following the 12-day conflict, congratulating the Iranian people on their triumph.
