Slamming Trump Hormuz claims
A senior Iranian lawmaker has slammed the US president’s rhetoric about having control over the Strait of Hormuz, calling his allegations ‘endless bluffing’. The head of the Iranian parliament’s committee on national security and foreign policy made the comment in a social media post. Ebrahim Azizi was reacting to Donald Trump's latest claims that Washington is in full control of the strategic waterway through the naval blockade, which he described as a wall of steel. The Iranian parliamentarian said the US president must worry about his own security instead of keeping up his endless bluffing regarding the Strait of Hormuz, before he ends up hiding in a food truck. Azizi was alluding to recent reports, which revealed that Trump took a secret flight out of Turkey following last month’s NATO meeting, because of what American media described as threats from Iran. They said Trump boarded Air Force One in view of television cameras, but then de-boarded the plane via an airport catering vehicle, and left Ankara aboard a smaller C-32A plane.
Israel Lebanon aggression
The Israeli military has carried out fresh artillery and aerial strikes across southern Lebanon in its latest violations of the ceasefire with the Arab country. According to local sources, the regime’s warplanes struck areas in Ali al-Taher and al-Dabsha in the Nabatieh region. Israeli military also carried out artillery strikes, using banned phosphorus munitions, near the town of Kafr Roummane. The regime also targeted areas in Tyre. There are no immediate reports on possible damage or casualties. On Saturday, Israeli attacks on southern Lebanon left nearly a dozen people dead. Hezbollah condemned the attacks, saying the responsibility for the aggression lies with the US, which provides Israel with support and cover. Lebanese Parliament speaker, Nabih Berri, warned that the regime is trying to destroy all aspects of life in the South. The Iranian Foreign Ministry's spokesperson reiterated Tehran’s support for Beirut, slamming the UN Security Council’s silence and inaction in the face of Israel’s blatant violations of international law.
Russia-Ukraine war
Russia has carried out a fresh attack on the Ukrainian capital, sparking fires in at least two districts. That’s according to Kiev’s mayor. The official said that falling debris caused a fire in a non-residential part of a northern suburb. Kiev’s military administration says the missile attack has injured one person. The Ukrainian capital has recently seen a rise in Russian strikes. Earlier, Ukraine carried out a series of long-range attacks in Russia, hitting a military airfield and a rocket center that supports the Russian Starlink-style satellite internet network.
