Iranian Official holds Israeli entity fully responsible for crimes in killing children in Iran
New York - Saba: Amir Saeid Iravani, Iran's Ambassador and Permanent Representative to the United Nations, stated that the repeated pattern and policies of the Israeli entity in killing children—this time targeting children in Iran—hold this entity fully responsible for its crimes, particularly its policies and practices of targeting children. According to Iran's Tasnim News Agency, Iravani added during his speech on Thursday (local time) at an open session of the UN Security Council titled "Children and Armed Conflict" that the world has witnessed, with sorrow and anger, the recurrence of the same pattern of killing policies pursued by the Israeli entity, this time in Iran. He stated that this entity, as part of its brutal aggression against his country since June 13, has deliberately targeted civilians, killing dozens of children, including infants as young as two months old. The Iranian Ambassador to the UN pointed out that the horrific crimes and widespread, systematic attacks carried out by this occupying entity in the region are escalating, representing an urgent warning to the international community. These actions clearly demonstrate the serious danger and threat posed by the Israeli entity to the lives, safety, well-being, and security of children. Nevertheless, this entity will bear full responsibility for its crimes, especially its policies and practices targeting children. Whatsapp Telegram Email Print

Excerpts from Speech of Sayyid Leader Abdul-Malik Badr al-Din al-Houthi on occasion of Hijri New Year
Sana'a - (Saba): Leader Abdul-Malik Badr al-Din al-Houthi : We extend our warmest congratulations and blessings to our entire Islamic nation on the occasion of the new Hijri year. We congratulate the Islamic Republic of Iran on its great victory against the brutal, criminal, and oppressive Israeli enemy. We congratulate our entire Islamic nation on Iran's magnificent victory, which is truly a victory for the entire Islamic Ummah. The defeat suffered by the Israeli enemy and its criminal partners—primarily the U.S., Britain, Germany, and France—represents a victory for the entire Islamic nation. This phase carries within it many changes concerning us as Muslims in the broader trajectory of human society. The enemies are making significant efforts to mislead our Ummah, divert our attention, and distract us from important matters. The reality of our Ummah's priorities is drowning in partial concerns at the expense of comprehensive and major issues that could resolve many problems. As one year ends and another begins, we must commit to realistic self -assessment-as individuals, communities, groups, and as an Ummah. Among the lessons of the Prophet's Hijra is the certainty that the word of God is supreme and that adherence to it elevates the Ummah, no matter the challenges or dangers. All choices and alternatives distant from the word of God lead to loss and misguidance, enabling the enemies to tighten their grip on our Ummah. The scale of the Israeli enemy's preparations—with American support—for aggression against Iran was extensive, spanning over a year. The Israeli enemy prepared for aggression against Iran with high ambitions. The most dangerous aspect of the aggression against Iran was the Israeli enemy's attempt to remove the Islamic Republic from its path to dominate the region. Pakistan's stance on the Israeli aggression against Iran, compared to other regimes and states, was advanced and conscious. Turkey's position was marked by clarity, frankness, and awareness of the enemies' schemes and true ambitions. The defeat of the Israeli enemy is a defeat for it, for the U.S., and for its Western supporters. What the infidel Trump expressed reveals the highest ambitions of the enemies when he spoke of "unconditional surrender." The ultimate goal of the aggression was complete, unconditional surrender. Yet, in the end, they halted their aggression unconditionally, without any terms. The Israeli enemy's military defeat is evident in its failure to achieve its objectives of destroying what it sought to destroy in Iran. The Israeli enemy was unable to protect itself from Iranian missiles and suffered very heavy losses. The Iranian missile barrages were a massive nightmare for the Israeli enemy, plunging it into an unprecedented situation. The Zionist Jews were, throughout the aggression against Iran, in an unprecedented state of fear, terror, and hiding in shelters. The Zionist Jews experienced the same conditions endured by the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip regarding bombardment and destruction. The Israeli enemy's defeat is significant, and Iran has triumphed under its leadership, the Revolutionary Guard, the Islamic system, and the Iranian people. The victory of the Islamic Republic in Iran is a victory for all Muslims, Arabs, and the Palestinian cause. Toppling or subjugating the Islamic system in Iran is impossible in reality and far from achievable. Had the goals of the aggression against Iran been realized, it would have drastically impacted the region. The primary objective of the aggression against Iran was to change the Middle East, meaning they would then target other regimes and countries. The Organization of Islamic Cooperation issued nothing but a condemnation statement against the aggression on Iran. What the organization lacks is cooperation, contrary to its name. What our nation lacks is cooperation, whether with the Palestinian people or in unifying causes. It is a great blessing and divine victory that the Israeli enemy was defeated despite its tyranny, aggression, the resources and Western-American support at its disposal. The aid centers in the Gaza Strip are death traps, engineered by the U.S. to kill and exterminate Palestinians - this is horrific and tragic. The incursions and violations in the courtyards of Al-Aqsa Mosque continue. The attacks on Lebanon and Syria continue. One of the most prominent and deadliest operations against the enemy was the complex, high-caliber ambush set up by the Qassam Brigades' mujahideen last Tuesday in Khan Younis. Over 20 enemy soldiers were killed and wounded, despite attempts to conceal and downplay the extent of their losses in the Khan Younis ambush. The Khan Younis ambush demonstrated the level of bravery and determination of the mujahideen brothers in the Qassam Brigades. Regarding support from the land of faith, wisdom, and jihad during Dhul-Hijjah, operations were carried out with 25 ballistic, hypersonic, and drone missiles. The total number launched since the beginning of the second round, starting from the 15th of Ramadan, is 309 ballistic, hypersonic, and drone missiles. We were extremely pleased to witness the waves of Iranian missiles that rained down heavily on the Israeli enemy, inflicting massive destruction. The Israeli enemy could not sustain its aggression against the Islamic Republic of Iran for even two weeks, despite initially announcing a two-week campaign. The continued blockade of the Red Sea to Israeli navigation remains absolute, and the port of Umm al-Rashrash (Eilat) is likewise nonoperational. Whatsapp Telegram Email Print

Iran condemns Israeli crime in "Astaneh-ye Ashrafiyeh " that claimed 19 Iranian lives
Tehran - Saba: Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Nasser Kanaani condemned the Zionist entity's crime in "Astaneh-ye Ashrafiyeh " which claimed the lives of 19 Iranians, describing it as evidence of the entity's hatred toward Iranians. In a post on the "X" platform on Thursday, the Foreign Ministry spokesman stated: "In Astaneh-ye Ashrafiyeh , a small town in northern Iran, a massacre was committed, claiming the lives of 19 innocent people—women, children, and elderly—relatives and friends of the Iranian researcher Seyed Mohammad Reza Sadeghi. This was carried out using missiles provided by America in support of the terrorist Israeli entity." He added, "This brutal massacre is a clear example of a war crime and terrorism, demonstrating the depth of hostility and malice the Israeli entity harbors toward Iranians." Kanaani continued, "The Zionist entity lies when it speaks of 'security' and 'defense.' Terrorism and the killing of innocents are part of its official policy, which its Western supporters and apologists whitewash through systematic and institutionalized hypocrisy, disregarding all international laws, standards, and human rights." He affirmed that the Iranian people will neither forget nor forgive these crimes. Whatsapp Telegram Email Print
