Iranian 1st vice-president: No hope held on talks to solve problems
Tehran - Saba:
Iranian First Vice President Mohammad Reza Aref confirmed that the current Iranian government did not pin its hopes on negotiations to resolve the country's problems.
Iran's Tasnim News Agency quoted Aref as saying on Tuesday: "We did not pin our hopes on negotiations to resolve the country's problems. Our strategy regarding the country's issues is not to look outside the country, but rather to look inward."
Aref emphasized that the current Iranian government has decided not to link unrelated issues and to adopt a position of equal engagement with all countries, with the exception of the Zionist entity. He added, "We are qualified for negotiations and dialogue, but only under appropriate and balanced circumstances."
Aref continued, "Our strategy regarding the country's issues is not to look outside the country, but rather to look inward. In fact, there are very significant potentials in all areas of the country that we have not sufficiently exploited.
There are several reasons for this; one of them is the short-term perspective that officials often adopt, as they seek to achieve results during their term and neglect long-term work."
The current Iranian government's approach is to put citizens at the center of business, he added. "Therefore, we have not pinned our hopes not only on these negotiations, but also on any special relationship with any country, even though we deal with all countries that desire a relationship with us, based on our priorities, such as neighboring countries, African countries, and major powers with a successful economic presence and experience in the ancient continent (Asia)."
Arif emphasized that Iran's position is the same as that affirmed by the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution in Iran today, and fortunately, there is an indirect negotiation process with America. He expressed his hope that these negotiations will ultimately achieve what is in the interest of the Iranian regime and the well-being of the country and its people.

U.S. Central Command reveals Killing of Houthi Drone Expert in Iraq
The United States Central Command (CENTCOM) has confirmed the killing of a Houthi-affiliated expert in an airstrike targeting a site inside Iraqi territory, where he was reportedly working alongside members of Kataib Hezbollah and Lebanese Hezbollah to provide technical support in drone operations. The announcement came from General Michael Kurilla during a hearing before the U.S. House Armed Services Committee, where he stated that the strike was carried out in April 2024 and was part of Washington's broader efforts to 'contain Iranian regional influence and prevent advanced weapons from reaching militia groups.' Kurilla emphasized that, despite receiving heavy blows, the Houthi group still poses an "active threat to international navigation" in the Red Sea and Bab al-Mandeb Strait. He also revealed that approximately 80% of Houthi military supplies arrive via maritime smuggling routes originating in Iran. Additionally, he disclosed the existence of a confidential agreement recently reached between the U.S. and the Houthis, in which both sides agreed to suspend attacks—maritime and aerial respectively—allowing four American destroyers to safely transit through the Red Sea. Observers note that this incident highlights the increasing level of cooperation between Iran-aligned militias in the region and reflects the expanding reach of Houthi operations beyond Yemen's borders, amid continued instability across multiple conflict zones.

President congratulates Russian counterpart
Sana'a - Saba: President of the Supreme Political Council Mahdi al-Mashat on Wednesday sent a congratulatory cable to President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin on the occasion of the friendly Russian people's celebration of Sovereignty Day. The cable read: As your friendly people celebrate Sovereignty Day, I am pleased to extend to Your Excellency my warmest congratulations, along with my cordial wishes for good health, happiness, and further development for your friendly country. As your friendly people celebrate Sovereignty Day, it gives me great pleasure to extend to Your Excellency my warmest congratulations, along with my sincere wishes for your continued health and happiness, and for further growth and prosperity for your friendly country. The Russian role is highly regarded and relied upon in restoring global balance and curbing the blind imperialism that seeks to dominate the sovereignty of nations and interfere in their internal affairs to control the wealth of peoples. We hope that Russia's future role will further promote global peace and stability for all societies and nations—foremost among them the Palestinian cause, as the Palestinian people face genocide at the hands of the brutal Zionist machine, under the cover of American imperialism. Such actions stand in stark violation of all international covenants and agreements. We would like to take this opportunity to reaffirm our country's keenness to deepen the bonds of friendship with your nation in all fields, in a manner that enhances both regional and international security and stability.
