US-Israeli Gaza genocide

The Israeli regime continues to ravage Gaza with more death and destruction, as the regime’s military intensifies its relentless attacks across the blockaded territory. In one of the latest strikes, several Palestinians were killed after Israeli warplanes struck a residential building in the town of Hamad, near Khan Yunis, southern Gaza. Israeli strikes on Deir al-Balah, central Gaza, were also deadly with multiple fatalities reported. Earlier, Israeli drones bombed a group of civilians in al-Saftawi area, north of Gaza City, killing at least seven and injuring several others. This is while hospitals remain the focal point of the regime’s latest attacks. Israeli warplanes have bombed the vicinity of the European Hospital east of Khan Yunis. The Israeli army has also besieged and bombed the Indonesian hospital in northern Gaza, opening fire on patients and medical staff inside the facility. According to Gaza officials, more than 150 Palestinians have been killed in Sunday strikes. The overall death toll from the regime’s genocide since October 2023 stands at nearly 53,340. More than 121,000 others have been injured.

Israel war on media

Palestinian officials say Israeli forces have killed at least 219 journalists and media workers since the regime’s genocidal war started in the Gaza Strip. The Palestinian Journalists Syndicate said the regime is pressing ahead with its systematic policy of targeting and killing journalists in order to prevent truthful coverage of its war crimes. The Syndicate said there were at least thirty female journalists among those killed by Israeli forces, and one who was killed in the occupied West Bank. It noted that the regime’s forces also target Palestinian journalists’ families, and have killed more than 680 members of their families so far. Israel has also been targeting media institutions in its war of extermination, destroying 115 institutions in Gaza.

Iran nuclear program

The Iranian Foreign Minister has reaffirmed the country’s right to take advantage of peaceful nuclear energy, stressing that Tehran will never give up that right. Abbas Araghchi was speaking in a phone call with his Turkish counterpart, Hakan Fidan. He briefed Fidan on the latest state of indirect talks between Iran and the United States, as well as a recent meeting with three European countries on Iran's nuclear program. Araghchi stressed that Iran is ready for engagement in win-win interaction with the opposite sides, if they show real determination, and respect the country's legitimate rights under the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. Araghchi’s remarks came just a few hours after he responded to the latest comments by US chief negotiator, Steve Witkoff, who claimed that the US will not allow Iran to have even a one-percent enrichment capability. The Iranian foreign minister said Witkoff’s statements were "completely detached from the reality of negotiations.” Araghchi stressed that Iran will keep enriching uranium with or without a deal.
