Netanyahu UAE visit 

Iran's top security official has warned the United Arab Emirates that hosting the child-killing prime minister of Israel will not bring security to that country and will stoke further tensions in the region. Major General Mohsen Rezaei made the comment in a social media post after the UAE officially confirmed that Benjamin Netanyahu had met with the UAE’s president during a visit to the country. Rezaei said just as hosting US military bases has not brought security to the UAE, hosting the "Butcher of Gaza" will also not have favorable consequences. He advised Emirati leaders to learn from the last war, stop igniting new wars, and cease issuing baseless claims regarding the Iranian islands. His remarks came after Iran's Foreign Ministry condemned Netanyahu’s UAE visit in a statement, warning about dangerous consequences of the regime’s presence in the region. It added that the presence of Israel’s child-killing and warmongering prime minister, who is being prosecuted by international courts, poses a serious threat to collective peace and security of regional countries.

Rejecting UK accusations 

Iran's foreign minister has rejected the British prime minister’s accusations about Tehran’s role in an alleged security incident involving the Fairford air base. Abbas Araghchi made the comment in a social media post after Andy Burnham claimed without giving any evidence that Iran has played a part in the Fairford incident. He was talking about a bomb scare near the airbase in southwest England, which is used by the US military in the aggression against Iran. Burnham said the UK Government "can confirm our belief that we believe Iran to have played a part." In response, the top diplomat said he can confirm Iran's belief that releasing terrorists, who were allegedly involved in the incident on behalf of foreign states, says it all. Araghchi was referring to reports that despite raising terrorist charges, the UK government released on bail five British men, who were arrested on terror charges near the base. Earlier, Iran's embassy in London had "categorically rejected and strongly condemned" speculations about Iran's involvement in the incident. British police said on Tuesday that no explosives were found at the scene.

Israel war on media 

Palestinian officials in Gaza say the Israeli regime has killed more than two-hundred-60 journalists and media workers during its genocidal war on Gaza. According to figures released by the Palestinian Journalists Syndicate and Gaza’s Government Media Office, the regime’s forces have killed 263 media workers since October 2023. They added that the latest media fatality was Palestinian journalist Muhammad Abdul Aziz al-Najjar, who was killed in an Israeli strike targeting the al-Mawasi district in the southern Gaza city of Khan Yunis. Local sources said al-Najjar was struck by an Israeli drone in al-Mawasi, as the regime’s forces continued shelling and gunfire attacks across the war-torn territory in violation of the ceasefire agreement. Al-Najjar worked with the Qur’an Radio station and was among the journalists who persisted in their mission under conditions of war, bombardment, and displacement.
