US clears multibillion dollar arms sales to Israel and Saudi Arabia

The United States has approved two major weapons deals worth billions of dollars for Israel and Saudi Arabia at a time of heightened tension with Iran. The State Department authorised a 3.8 billion dollar sale of 30 Apache attack helicopters to Israel, along with a 1.8 billion dollar package of joint light tactical vehicles. It said the deal would help Israel maintain a strong self defence capability and is consistent with long standing US commitments to its security. Washington already supplies Israel with billions of dollars in military aid each year. The latest approvals come as Israel observes a fragile US backed ceasefire in Gaza after more than two years of war with Hamas. The US has also approved a 9 billion dollar sale of 730 Patriot missiles to Saudi Arabia. The system is designed to defend against incoming aerial […]

Iran army chief warns US, Israel against attack, says forces on high alert

Iran’s army chief, Major General Amir Hatami, has warned the United States and Israel that any military attack on his country would endanger their own security and that of the wider region. He said Iran’s armed forces are on full defensive and military readiness following heavy US deployments in the Gulf. Hatami cautioned that if “the enemy makes a mistake,” it will threaten the security of the US, the Middle East and what he called the Zionist regime. His comments came after Washington sent a naval strike group led by the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln to the region, amid US threats to intervene following a deadly crackdown on anti government protests in Iran. Iran has repeatedly warned it would respond to any attack with missile strikes on US bases, ships and allies, including Israel. On Friday, President Donald Trump […]

Israeli fire kills three in Gaza as US pushes to advance deal

Israeli fire killed three Palestinians in two separate incidents in the Gaza Strip on Sunday, local health authorities have said. Medics reported that at least two people died east of the Tuffah neighbourhood in northern Gaza, while a 41‑year‑old man was killed by Israeli forces in Khan Younis in the south.​ Earlier, medical workers said an Israeli drone exploded on the rooftop of a multi‑storey building in Gaza City, wounding four civilians in the street below. The Israeli military did not immediately comment on any of the reported incidents.​ The violence comes as U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner push to advance a Gaza deal in meetings with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Witkoff said their talks, held on Saturday, were “constructive and positive”, with both sides aligned on next steps and on the importance of continued cooperation on […]

Israel starts demolishing UNRWA headquarters in Jerusalem

Israeli bulldozers have begun demolishing parts of the headquarters of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, UNRWA, in occupied east Jerusalem. The operation took place in the Sheikh Jarrah area, where an Israeli flag was seen flying over the compound.​ UNRWA spokesman Jonathan Fowler said Israeli forces entered the compound shortly after 7 a.m., removed security guards and then allowed bulldozers to move in and start tearing down buildings. He called it an unprecedented attack on the agency and a serious breach of international law and UN privileges and immunities.​ Fowler warned that what is happening to UNRWA today could happen to any other international organisation or diplomatic mission if such actions go unchallenged. Photos from the scene showed heavy machinery at work and extensive damage inside the compound.​ Israel’s far right National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir briefly visited […]

Turkey opposes military operations against Iran

Turkey says it is against any military operation against Iran, warning that foreign intervention would only deepen crises in the country and across the Middle East. Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan told journalists in Istanbul that Iran’s internal problems must be resolved by Iranians themselves, not imposed from outside.​ Fidan said Ankara does not want instability in neighbouring Iran, even though it recognises there are serious issues within Iranian society and government. He cautioned that attempts by the United States or Israel to use force would likely worsen tensions and trigger wider regional conflict.​​ The minister noted that the current protests in Iran stem from legitimate grievances, but that they are also being exploited by Iran’s external enemies. He said Turkey’s priority is to encourage dialogue and a negotiated understanding between Washington and Tehran, which he described as crucial for regional […]

Death toll from Iran unrest nears 2,600, rights group reports

The death toll from weeks of anti government unrest in Iran has climbed to almost 2,600 people, according to a US based human rights group. HRANA said it has so far verified the deaths of 2,403 protesters and 147 members of the security forces and other government affiliated individuals.​ An Iranian official separately told Reuters that about 2,000 people had been killed, marking the first time a figure in that range has been acknowledged by someone inside the system. The authorities have accused the United States and Israel of fomenting the unrest and say “terrorists” have attacked security forces, mosques and public property.​ The protests began on December 28 over soaring inflation but have since turned into one of the biggest challenges to Iran’s clerical rulers since the 1979 Islamic Revolution. Demonstrations have spread nationwide, with funeral marches, strikes and […]

Iran not seeking war but fully prepared, says minister

Iran’s foreign minister says the country does not want war but is fully prepared to fight if necessary. He also says Tehran is open to talks with the United States if negotiations are fair and based on mutual respect.​ Abbas Araghchi told a gathering of foreign ambassadors in Tehran that Iran is ready for both conflict and diplomacy. He stressed that any talks must give Iran equal rights and must not be dictated by Washington.​ Araghchi’s comments come as US President Donald Trump signals that Iran’s leadership is seeking negotiations after he warned of possible military action over the crackdown on protests. Washington has also maintained a “maximum pressure” policy aimed at curbing Iran’s nuclear programme.​ The minister repeated that Iran’s nuclear activities are peaceful, even as Western countries and the UN nuclear watchdog say Tehran once ran an organised […]

Iran warns it will strike back if US attacks

Iran has warned that it will hit Israel and US military bases if the United States launches strikes on its territory, as mass protests continue across the country.​ Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf told lawmakers that any US attack would be a serious mistake and said Iran would treat Israel, US bases and US ships as legitimate targets. Qalibaf is a former commander in the Revolutionary Guards, the elite force that plays a central role in Iran’s security.​ The warning comes as Iran faces its largest anti-government protests since 2022, driven first by soaring inflation and then by anger at the country’s clerical rule. Rights group HRANA says at least 116 people have been killed so far, including 37 members of the security forces. Authorities accuse the United States and Israel of fueling the unrest and have tightened their crackdown.​ […]

Iran insists missile programme is defensive

Iran has declared that its missile programme is strictly defensive and will not be discussed in any negotiations with foreign governments. Foreign ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said the country’s missiles were built to protect Iran’s territory and sovereignty, not to threaten others.​ Baghaei dismissed calls from Western countries to place limits on Iran’s missile activities, insisting that the issue lies entirely within Iran’s national security domain. He argued that critics use the missile programme as a political tool to pressure Tehran while ignoring the large volumes of weapons supplied to Israel and other regional allies.​ The spokesman said Iran’s missile capabilities are designed to deter attacks and form a key part of the country’s overall defence strategy. He stressed that these defensive assets are “by no means subject to negotiation” and that Iran will decide for itself how to maintain […]

Israeli airstrikes hit targets across Lebanon

Israel has launched a new wave of strikes on southern and eastern Lebanon, hitting several locations that the Israeli military says are linked to Hezbollah. Lebanon’s state run National News Agency reported multiple strikes on mountainous areas in both regions. The Israeli military said its forces targeted what it described as “terror infrastructure sites” in different parts of Lebanon. It said the targets included “a military compound used by Hezbollah to conduct training and courses” for members of the Iran backed group. In a separate statement, the army said its forces “a short while ago” struck a Hezbollah fighter in the Taybeh area of southern Lebanon. No details were given about casualties from that strike or the wider series of attacks. The latest strikes come despite a ceasefire agreement reached in November 2024 that was meant to end more than […]
