Iran vows to hit US forces

Commander of Iran's Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, Major General Abdollahi stated that for every Iranian citizen martyred, one American service member would be sent to hell. Abdollahi announced this as the new official battlefield equation, adding that it reflects an operational reality already demonstrated on the ground.

The United States has killed 55 innocent Iranian civilians in recent strikes and injured over 6 hundred others while also attacking civilian infrastructure in Iran.
Iran slams EU 'hypocrisy'
Iran’s foreign ministry spokesperson has condemned the European Union for its hypocrisy after the bloc leveled human rights allegations against Tehran. The reaction came after EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas announced that the bloc has imposed sanctions on several Iranian judges, accusing them of human rights violation. Baqaei rejected the accusation and criticized Kallas for failure to denounce crimes against the Iranian people by the US and Israel during their attacks on Iran. Baqaei said, the EU offered no sympathy for Iranian children killed in such strikes, while it has provided technical support for attacks against Iran’s civilian infrastructure.
Yemen retaliatory strikes
The Spokesman for Yemen’s Ansarallah movement says Yemen’s naval blockade against Saudi Arabia is the first step in its campaign of siege-for-siege.

He also accused Riyadh of using its oil ties to pass unfair UN resolutions against Yemen. He warned that Saudi Arabia has made itself an open enemy of Yemen. Abdulsalam also warned that any Saudi action against Yemen will have consequences for the kingdom’s security and economy.
