🔊 Gaza urges Arab, Islamic countries to act to break siege
In an appeal cited by Shahab News on Tuesday, the office stressed the need for immediate action to address the consequences of aid cuts as the humanitarian situation deteriorates amid the ongoing siege and the collapse of essential services.
Residents of Gaza face growing needs for food, medicine and shelter, while reductions in humanitarian assistance threaten to deepen the suffering of families dependent on aid to meet their basic needs.
The appeal comes as Palestinian experts warn of the humanitarian and economic consequences of the World Food Program’s decision to suspend food assistance to nearly half a million Palestinians in Gaza because of funding shortages.
The United Nations agency recently announced that it had halted food assistance to 500,000 people in the territory due to a lack of financial resources.
The WFP said the number of people receiving monthly assistance in Gaza had fallen from 1.6 million to 1.1 million.
Palestinian experts warned that the cuts would further aggravate hardship among Gaza’s residents, who continue to face the effects of the Israeli-imposed siege and worsening humanitarian conditions.

📡 Ghalibaf: Iran has no new words other than seven conditions for talks
Ghalibaf held talks with visiting Pakistan Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir in Tehran on Tuesday where he emphasized that Washington’s long history of actions against Iran has pushed mutual distrust to its highest level.
He said the US government’s violation of the Islamabad memorandum of understanding, along with repeated threats by President Donald Trump, had further deepened Iran’s distrust of Washington.

Criticizing Washington’s calculations in going to war with Iran, the parliament speaker said the United States had found itself in a quagmire as a result of its miscalculations and was now responsible for taking the necessary steps to extricate itself from the situation.
During the meeting, Ghalibaf also expressed appreciation for the support of the Pakistani government and people for Iran during the war and diplomatic negotiations, describing relations between the two countries as brotherly.
Munir, for his part, conveyed greetings from Pakistani National Assembly Speaker Ayaz Sadiq and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and reaffirmed Islamabad’s commitment to continued cooperation with Tehran.

💬 Top Iranian general warns of harsher retaliation if war resumes
Major General Ali Abdollahi, Chief of the General Staff of Iran’s armed forces and Commander of the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, highlighted the expansion of the Army’s drone manufacturing capabilities during a Tuesday visit to military production facilities.
Abdollahi praised the Army’s efforts to establish and expand multiple drone production lines, saying the systems he had seen demonstrated the Armed Forces’ readiness, motivation and capacity for innovation.
“What I saw today at one of the many drone production facilities developed through the efforts of my colleagues in the Islamic Republic of Iran Army reflects the readiness, motivation and innovative capabilities that our armed forces need,” he said.
He added that military equipment developed and upgraded by Iranian specialists had become more advanced than earlier models and offered new capabilities.
Drawing on lessons from the two recent wars imposed by the United States and Israel, Abdollahi said Iran would be better equipped to respond to future aggression.
The commander also pointed to the importance of asymmetric warfare, noting that Iran could counter technologically advanced adversaries by using a range of less expensive but effective systems.
“Our enemies possess modern and advanced equipment, and when necessary, we must respond using different methods and asymmetric capabilities,” he said, referring to the US-Israeli-imposed wars of aggression against the country.
He further warned that if Iran came under attack again, it would seek to offset the advantages of expensive, sophisticated weapons by deploying a broad range of more affordable systems, making military operations more costly and difficult for its adversaries.
Abdollahi also praised progress toward self-sufficiency in the Armed Forces, saying domestic defense development followed the direction set by the martyred Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, who was a strong supporter of national strength and technological advancement.
He said Iran’s military remained committed to defending the country against any power that threatened its territory or revolutionary values.
The top commander said the Iranian public’s determination to resist had not weakened despite enemy actions. Instead, he said, the resolve of both the population and the armed forces had grown stronger.

🖥 US accepted Iran’s seven-day proposal but sought additional terms: Araghchi
Araghchi made the remarks in an interview with Iraq’s Al Ekhbariya television network, confirming that diplomatic contacts between the two sides remain ongoing.
“We have previously presented an initiative to the American side under the title of the seven-day plan, in which we explicitly stated our conditions. The Strait of Hormuz was supposed to be fully reopened on the sixth day of this period. The Americans informed us that they agreed to these conditions, but they wanted to add a few more clauses,” he said.
Explaining the rationale behind the initiative, Araghchi said Iran sought to keep the path of diplomacy open, provided the other side honored its commitments.
He argued that Washington, rather than Tehran, was blocking progress and said the United States needed to implement the conditions to which it had previously committed itself.
“If they adhere to these conditions, they should know that the strait will be fully reopened, and after that, we will hold further rounds of negotiations until a final agreement is reached,” Araghchi said.
Addressing questions about tensions surrounding the Strait of Hormuz and allegations of Iranian involvement in developments in the Red Sea, the foreign minister rejected any connection between Tehran and the latter issue.
“The issue of the Red Sea and the developments taking place there have absolutely nothing to do with us and have their own particular circumstances,” he said.
Araghchi reiterated that the Strait of Hormuz would not be fully reopened to all until an understanding or agreement was reached, stressing that Washington must accept Iran’s conditions for passage by ships and vessels.
Until then, he warned, maritime traffic through the strait and its existing routes would face difficulties.
Under a 14-point Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), between Iran and the US, Washington is required to end the war on all fronts and lift its illegal blockade and sanctions on Iran in return for Tehran’s gradual reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.
Iran brought the strategic waterway under its control in March in the early days of the US-Israeli aggression against the country.
