Muscat – SABA:
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian arrived in the Omani capital, Muscat, on Tuesday for a two-day official visit at the invitation of Sultan Haitham bin Tariq of Oman.
The Iranian News Agency (IRNA) reported that Pezeshkian is scheduled to hold a meeting with the Sultan of Oman at Al Alam Palace in Muscat, followed by a high-level joint meeting between the two countries' delegations. The discussions will focus on strengthening bilateral relations and enhancing regional cooperation.
Iran and Oman are expected to sign several cooperation agreements and discuss key issues related to infrastructure, maritime affairs, and trade.
President Pezeshkian emphasized that the purpose of his visit is to establish better and broader relations with neighboring countries, stating that these ties are expanding day by day.
Before departing Tehran, he noted that his visit to Muscat comes in response to an official invitation from Sultan Haitham bin Tariq. He highlighted that the goal is to foster deeper and stronger relations with neighbors, including Oman, to expand bilateral cooperation in political, economic, cultural, scientific, and social fields.
He added:
"Promoting peace and stability in the region, as well as confronting the crimes taking place in Gaza, are among the key issues that can be addressed during this visit to reach a common understanding and vision."
Pezeshkian stressed the need for regional unity and condemnation of the criminal actions of the Zionist entity, which he said are unacceptable to any fair observer in international forums.

Yemen : Houthis say ready to swap all prisoners with govt
Yemen's Houthi group announced on Friday its readiness to exchange all prisoners with the Yemeni government, a significant proposal put forward by the group since the outbreak of the civil war in late 2014. The Houthi-run Saba news agency cited a statement by Abdul Qader al-Murtada, head of the Houthis' committee for prisoners' affairs, as saying that the group is prepared to carry out "a full exchange process that includes all prisoners from all parties without exception." Al-Murtada called on the Saudi government to pressure the Yemeni government "to respond to the initiative without preconditions." The internationally recognized Yemeni government is yet to comment. The Yemeni government and the Houthi group implemented a UN-mediated major prisoner swap in 2023, exchanging around 900 prisoners. Another major exchange took place in 2020, with approximately 1,000 prisoners and detainees released from both sides. Yemen has been mired in civil war since late 2014, when the Houthi group seized control of much of northern Yemen, forcing the Yemeni government out of the capital Sanaa. Clashes between the Houthis and the Yemeni government have diminished since April 2022, following a UN-mediated truce.

Reports: Iran Recommends Restructuring Yemen's Houthis "Away from Official Institutions''
Sanaa – Intelligence sources have revealed Iranian recommendations aimed at restructuring the Houthi group away from the official institutions it controls, in a bid to strengthen absolute loyalty to Tehran and shield the group from potential security breaches. According to reports, Iran seeks to dismantle the traditional ties between Houthi fighters and Yemen's military establishment, replacing them with individuals it describes as "mujahideen," even if they are new to combat, ensuring they are trained under a strictly Iranian ideological framework. Security sources have confirmed that the overlap between the Houthis and state institutions has become a security vulnerability, allowing for precision strikes against the group in recent months. In response, Tehran has proposed creating parallel entities to manage military and political decision-making, independent of formal government structures.

Following Abu Obeida's statement, demonstrations erupt in Tel Aviv demanding agreement to return prisoners from Gaza
Al-Quds – Saba: Hundreds of Zionist settlers demonstrated Saturday evening in the Israeli capital, Jaffa (Tel Aviv), demanding an end to the genocide in Gaza and a prisoner exchange deal. These demonstrations came after statements by Abu Obeida, the official spokesman for al-Qassam Brigades (the military wing of the Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas), in which he warned that the life of prisoner Matan Zatgauker is in danger due to the Israeli enemy army's attempt to free him, according to the Al-Mayadeen channel website. Abu Obeida categorically affirmed that the Zionist enemy will not be able to recover this prisoner alive, and if this prisoner is killed during the attempt to free him, the enemy army will be the one responsible for his death, after we preserved his life for a year and eight months. He who warns is excused." The prisoner's father, Tzatgauker, said, "I can't bear this nightmare anymore," stressing that the enemy's prime minister, the war criminal wanted by the International Criminal Court, Benjamin Netanyahu, "is using the Israeli army to continue the war and protect his government." The Hebrew website Ynet quoted the prisoner's father, Bar Kuperstein, as demanding that the criminal Netanyahu agree to a deal that would return all the prisoners. He confirmed that the prisoner is suffering from fear of the army's bombardment of the Gaza Strip, and has been "without food and daylight for 610 days." The prisoner's father, Omar Nautra, said, "The truth must be told: We will not return everyone unless we agree to end the war," adding that the prisoners will not be returned if we continue fighting endlessly. Earlier on Saturday, the Committee of Families of Israeli Prisoners in Gaza reiterated that "ending the war and reaching an agreement is the only way to return the prisoners alive." The Prisoners' Families Committee categorically rejected any partial prisoner release agreement, considering that such agreements pose a threat to their lives and waste valuable opportunities for their safe return. Hebrew media outlets quoted the committee's statements, stressing that a partial prisoner release is a dangerous concept that wastes valuable time and puts all prisoners at risk. They called for an end to the "war" and the immediate return of all prisoners at once. The prisoners' families accused the criminal Netanyahu of obstructing a comprehensive agreement for political reasons, noting that his refusal to end the "war" at this time serves his narrow political interests and does not reflect the interests of the state or the families. With American and European support, the Israeli enemy army has been committing genocidal crimes in the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023, resulting in the martyrdom of 54,772 Palestinian citizens, the majority of whom were children and women, and the injury of 125,834 others. To date, this is a preliminary toll, with thousands of victims still buried under the rubble and on the streets, unable to be reached by ambulances and rescue teams.
