The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Warns Israel Against Any Attack
Khaberni -
The Iranian Revolutionary Guard stated on Thursday that Israel would face "a devastating and decisive response" if it attacked Iran, days after CNN reported that US intelligence indicates Israel is preparing to strike Iranian nuclear facilities.
Official media quoted the spokesperson of the Revolutionary Guard, Ali Mohammad Naeini, saying, "They try to scare us with war, but their calculations are wrong as they underestimate the strong public and military support that Iran can mobilize in war conditions."
Tehran and Washington will hold a fifth round of nuclear talks on Friday in Rome amid sharp disputes over uranium enrichment in Iran, which the United States says could lead to the development of nuclear bombs, a claim Iran denies.
CNN, citing intelligence officials, added that it is still unclear whether Israeli leaders have made a final decision, indicating a difference of opinion within the American government on whether the Israelis will ultimately decide to carry out the strikes.
Diplomats say that the collapse of the US-Iran negotiations, or reaching a new nuclear agreement, does not diminish Israel's concerns about Iran developing nuclear weapons, which may prompt Israel to strike against its regional rival.
According to official media, the Supreme Leader of Iran, Ali Khamenei, described on Tuesday the US demands to stop uranium enrichment as "exaggerated and irritating," expressing his doubts about the success of the talks on a new nuclear deal.
Tehran says its nuclear program is intended solely for civilian purposes.

Houthi Official: We Allowed British Aircraft Carrier to Pass Through Red Sea - Jordan News
Houthi Official: We Allowed British Aircraft Carrier to Pass Through Red Sea Yemen's Houthi group announced late Friday that it had permitted a British aircraft carrier to pass through the Red Sea after the vessel communicated with them and declared it was 'transiting for maneuvers and not conducting any combat operations.' اضافة اعلان The announcement was made in a post on X by Mohammed Ali al-Houthi, a member of the group's Supreme Political Council. Al-Houthi stated that the group had been contacted 'regarding the passage of the British aircraft carrier (HMS), which said it would transit for maneuvering purposes and would not carry out any combat operations in the Red Sea.' He added that the group informed the British side it would allow the passage of the carrier 'as long as it is on a non-combat mission or does not pose an aggressive intent, in order to avoid distracting the armed forces (Houthis) from supporting Gaza, which is facing extermination by the Israeli entity.' As of 07:00 GMT, there had been no immediate comment from British authorities on the matter. The UK has previously joined the U.S. in conducting repeated airstrikes against the Houthis in Yemen, in response to the group's attacks in the Red Sea. The Houthis remain committed to launching missiles toward Israel as long as Tel Aviv continues what they describe as a genocide in the Gaza Strip. Missile attacks launched from Yemen toward Israel have led several international airlines to suspend flights to Israel for varying periods. — (Anadolu Agency)

Hamas: Israel took advantage, massacred hungry Palestinians
Hamas condemned the Israeli Occupation for committing a "horrific massacre" after dozens of Palestinians were killed and more than 150 injured early Saturday morning while attempting to collect food aid west of Rafah. According to the group, the victims were responding to a distribution announcement made by the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) when they were fired upon in what Hamas called a deliberate and premeditated attack. In a press statement issued Saturday afternoon, Hamas described the "Israeli"-controlled aid distribution system in southern Gaza as a "trap," claiming it is designed to lure hungry civilians before targeting them with live fire. 'This massacre confirms the fascist nature of the occupation,' the group said, adding that the aid centers are being used as 'bait' under the guise of humanitarian assistance. 'Thousands of citizens, already enduring a genocidal war and unprecedented starvation, responded to the occupation's call to receive aid,' the statement read. 'Instead, they were met with brutal gunfire. This was a planned crime.' The Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza reported that at least 35 people were killed, with more than 150 wounded. The incident is the latest in a series of violent episodes surrounding the controversial Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) aid hubs, which operate under the IOF's oversight and have drawn criticism from both local and international organizations. Hamas squarely blamed both "Israel" and the US for the mounting casualties, accusing Washington of backing what it described as a 'bloody mechanism' that uses food aid as a tool of war. 'We hold the Zionist occupation, along with the US administration, fully responsible for the massacres,' the statement declared. The group is calling for an urgent and binding resolution from the UN Security Council to halt the aid system, open Gaza's crossings immediately, and guarantee the flow of humanitarian relief through established UN agencies. It also urged the UN to launch an independent international investigation into what it described as systematic crimes against civilians. Hamas concluded the statement by appealing to Arab and Islamic nations to act swiftly to pressure for an end to what it called a "brutal war of extermination," and to ensure unimpeded humanitarian access to the enclave.

Dozens killed and injured in Israeli massacre near aid distribution center west of Rafah
Ammon News - At least 30 Palestinians were killed and over 115 others wounded Sunday morning in a new massacre committed by Israeli occupation forces near an aid distribution center west of Rafah in southern Gaza. According to local sources, Israeli occupation forces opened fire directly at hundreds of civilians as they attempted to reach an aid distribution center in the al-Mawasi area of western Rafah. The indiscriminate shooting resulted in a high number of casualties, with victims falling while seeking food and humanitarian assistance. This incident follows a disturbing pattern in recent days, during which Israeli forces have killed 17 Palestinians and wounded dozens more as they tried to access aid distribution areas. These attacks come amid a systematic starvation policy imposed by Israel, which has kept Gaza's crossings sealed for over 90 days—blocking the entry of vital humanitarian supplies, particularly food—driving much of the population to the brink of famine. The ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza since October 2023 has so far resulted in at least 54,381 documented Palestinian fatalities, with over 124,381 others injured. Thousands of victims are feared trapped under rubble, inaccessible to emergency and civil defense teams due to Israeli attacks. Israel's genocidal attacks continue unabated despite calls from the UN Security Council for an immediate ceasefire and directives from the International Court of Justice urging measures to prevent genocide and alleviate the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza.
