Stressed the necessity of the full withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza.

Hamas Responds
In a statement received by SABA News Agency, the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) welcomed the BRICS declaration, saying:
'We commend the final statement of the BRICS summit in Rio de Janeiro, especially its call for a ceasefire in Gaza, the withdrawal of the occupation army, and its condemnation of war crimes and the use of starvation against civilians.'

Exert pressure on the Israeli government to comply with international law.
End the aggression and genocide against innocent civilians.
Lift the illegal siege imposed on over 2.25 million Palestinians in Gaza.
The summit is being held in Brazil over two days (Sunday and Monday) and brings together key member states — Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa — alongside newly joined or participating countries in an expanded BRICS format. The war in Gaza has dominated much of the agenda amid growing global calls for accountability and an end to the Israeli assault.

Iranian commander: Israeli occupier to receive graver response if commits new error

Tehran - Saba: The political assistant to the Commander-in-Chief of the Iranian Armed Forces, Brigadier General Rasoul Sanai Rad, confirmed that the Israeli occupation "will receive a greater response than it did during the 12-Day War if it commits any foolishness" against Iran. He revealed that Iran "did not use all of its preparations for the 3rd Promise". Sanai Rad, speaking to Al-Mayadeen TV as part of its coverage of "The Nation Won," on Sunday and reported by the Iranian News Agency (IRNA) on Monday, confirmed that Iran was prepared in anticipation of an attack against it and had produced scientific documents before the Israeli occupation targeted its scientific centers. He emphasized that Tehran "expected anything from the occupation and took the necessary steps and measures." In the same context, Sanai Rad indicated that the United States inflicted some damage on Iranian nuclear facilities, but "did not destroy Iran's nuclear program, as US President Donald Trump claims." Sanai Rad explained that nuclear science today is "in the minds of our children," adding that Iran possesses the expertise that will enable it to achieve qualitative leaps in the future. The Iranian official added that the Israeli occupation never imagined that Iran could target the Weizmann Institute, adding that the occupation's mistake was that it "thought we did not have information about the targets we were striking." Sanai Rad said that the Israeli occupation "thought it could eliminate the regime," explaining that dividing Iran "is part of the plan for the new Middle East." He continued that the United States intervened in the war "when what the Israeli occupation was doing became a scandal." Regarding the targeting of the American Al-Udeid base in Qatar, Sanai Rad said that the radar installed by Washington was "of the latest type," and "perhaps this is one of the reasons we struck the base." Sanai Rad also emphasized that the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution "emphasized that it is impossible to surrender to bullying, and told (the Americans and Israelis) that Iran is too big a morsel for them to swallow." Regarding the current situation between Iran and the Israeli occupation, Sanai Rad explained that what has happened is "a cessation of military operations, not a ceasefire." The Iranian official also emphasized that the Israeli occupation "will receive a greater response than it received during the 12 days of the war, if it commits any foolishness" against Iran. He continued, "Be assured that if they commit any foolishness, the response will be more devastating than the destruction in Khan Younis." In addition, Sanai Rad revealed that Iran "did not use all of the equipment it had prepared for Operation True Promise 3," emphasizing that it "would have used missiles with greater destructive power had the war continued." Sanai Rad reassured that Iran "has assets, particularly missile assets, that enable it to confront the occupation for a long time," noting that the destruction the occupying entity witnessed during "Operation True Promise 3" "demonstrated the extent of the damage the Revolutionary Guards can inflict." In a related context, Sanai Rad emphasized that confrontations with spies inside Iran "have turned into professional confrontations". He also said that the resistance has become stronger after "Operation Flood of Al-Aqsa," through "acquiring practical experience in confronting the Israeli occupation."

Armed Forces Target "Magic Seas" ship in Red Sea

Sana'a - Saba : Triumphing for the oppressed Palestinian people and their dear Mujahideen, and in confirmation of the continued ban on maritime traffic for the Israeli enemy in the Red and Arabian Seas. The missile and UAV forces of the Yemeni Armed Forces targeted the ship (Magic Seas), which belongs to a company that violated the entry ban to the ports of occupied Palestine, with two unmanned boats, five ballistic and cruise missiles, and three drones. The results of the operation were as follows: The ship sustained a direct hit, water leaked into it, and is now at risk of sinking. Our forces allowed the crew to safely disembark. The targeting operation took place in the Red Sea, following calls and warnings issued by our naval forces to the aforementioned ship. However, its crew rejected all of these warnings. The Yemeni Armed Forces affirm that they will not hesitate to use appropriate force to prevent any ship belonging to this company that dealt with the Zionist enemy and violated the ban on access to the ports of occupied Palestine. They affirm that their ships are a legitimate target for our forces wherever they can be reached, and they bear full responsibility, "He who warns is excused". Our operations will continue to target the depth of the Israeli entity in occupied Palestine, as well as to prevent Israeli navigation in the Red and Arabian Seas and to disrupt the Umm al-Rashrash port, until the aggression against Gaza stops and the blockade is lifted.

Justice ministry condemns Zionist assault on Hodeida

Sana'a - Saba: The Ministry of Justice and Human Rights condemned the Zionist aggression on the ports of Hodeida, Ras Issa, and Salif, and the central power station in Ras Katheeb. The Ministry explained in a statement that ten Israeli warplanes launched a series of barbaric raids aimed at putting these vital civilian facilities out of service and preventing them from performing their purely humanitarian roles and missions. These ports are the sole artery for the entry of food, medicine, petroleum derivatives, humanitarian aid, and essential supplies that are indispensable to more than twenty million Yemenis and meet the needs of more than 90% of the population of the Republic of Yemen. The statement warned the international community, which is complicit in the criminal Zionist behavior against civilian objects, and has turned a blind eye to all the gross violations committed by the criminal Zionist entity, which violate all the rules and principles of international law that criminalize the targeting of civilians and civilian objects, especially those related to the rules stipulated in the United Nations Charter, international humanitarian law, and human rights law. The statement affirmed the legitimate right of the Yemeni people and their armed forces to defend themselves and their capabilities by all available legitimate means. These attacks will not deter them from their firm and continuing principled stance in supporting the oppressed Palestinian people, who are being subjected to the most heinous crimes of systematic genocide, inhumane violations, and the deliberate killing of children, women, and the elderly in death traps perpetrated by the criminal Zionist entity against the hungry and thirsty people seeking to meet their basic food needs. The statement considered Yemen's support for the Palestinian people a religious and moral duty, from which it will not deviate, no matter the sacrifices, amid the shameful silence of the United Nations and the international community. The statement reaffirmed Yemen's full right to defend itself and deter any external aggression, and emphasized the options of the political and military leadership to take the necessary measures to protect the country's sovereignty, safeguard its national security, and safeguard the interests of its people. The Ministry held the United Nations fully legally, morally, and humanitarianly responsible for the Zionist criminality and arrogance, and its blatant and flagrant aggression against Yemen. This organization called for immediate pressure on the US-backed Zionist entity to respect Yemen's national sovereignty, immediately halt its aggression against Yemen and Gaza unconditionally, lift the unjust blockade imposed on the people of Gaza, and hold war criminals and perpetrators of violations accountable. The Ministry of Justice and Human Rights also affirmed that the rights of the Yemeni people will remain above all considerations, that the crimes of the Zionist-American aggression will not be forgotten, and that Yemen will always stand in the trench of truth and justice alongside all the oppressed, based on its sound faith approach, its lofty humanitarian principles, and its free national principles.
