President Pezeshkian: Zionist-American Aggression on Iran is Mockery of International Law
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stated on Tuesday that the Zionist-American aggression against his country constitutes a mockery of international law.
In a message sent to the International Conference on Financing for Development, President Pezeshkian said: "The Zionist-American aggression, which resulted in the martyrdom and injury of more than 6,000 civilians in Iran, is a blatant violation of the UN Charter, the Non-Proliferation Treaty, and the fundamental principles of international human rights law," according to the IRNA news agency.
He emphasized that this aggression ridicules international efforts aimed at promoting multilateralism and respect for international law, calling on UN member states to condemn this illegal act of aggression.
Pezeshkian also addressed the economic, trade, and financial discrimination faced by developing countries, expressing regret over such practices within international financial institutions.
He called for reforms in relevant procedures to improve the situation of developing nations, expressing hope that the Fourth International Conference on Financing for Development would effectively address these challenges and produce tangible, practical steps in this direction.
This statement comes amid escalating tensions following recent attacks on Iran, with Tehran positioning itself as a victim of Western-Zionist aggression while rallying international support against what it describes as unlawful and oppressive policies.

Zakharova calls on western countries to comment on Putin-Macron talks
Moscow - Saba: Russian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Maria Zakharova called on NATO and European Union countries to comment on yesterday's telephone conversation between the Russian and French presidents. According to the Russian RT channel, Zakharova's remarks came in an interview with Sputnik Radio this morning, where she continued: "During the NATO and EU summits, they talked about firmness, sanctions, containment, and other matters. I would like to hear from them now how they assess their colleague's move: Did they agree on this at the NATO or EU summit? Did their ally warn them that he would make the call? Was this position agreed upon? And at what level? Perhaps they will discuss all of this today. Today is the day of questions for NATO and the EU countries. Let them discuss it." Zakharova also indicated that the French embassy in Russia should also comment on the conversation, adding: "The embassy can also comment. When accusations against our country begin, they are good at talking. Now, perhaps they will comment on the reality. Please comment from the French side and tell us about their motives, why now specifically, and what is the motivation behind the conversation?" Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke with his French counterpart, Emmanuel Macron, for the first time in nearly three years, according to RIA Novosti. The two leaders had not spoken for 1,024 days, the Kremlin press office reported earlier on Tuesday. The conversation was substantive, as Putin and Macron discussed the situation around Ukraine, the Iran-Israel confrontation, and the US strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. Regarding the prospects for a Ukrainian settlement, President Putin said the Ukrainian conflict was a "direct result of Western policies." He stressed that the agreements reached "must be comprehensive and long-term," provide for the elimination of the root causes of the Ukrainian crisis, and be based on the new regional realities on the ground. The Kremlin also reported that the two presidents emphasized the importance of respecting Tehran's legitimate right to peaceful nuclear energy and continuing to fulfill its obligations under the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, including cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency. The two leaders expressed their support for resolving the crisis over Iran's nuclear program through political and diplomatic means. Whatsapp Telegram Email Print more of (International)

PM launches school bag project for children of martyrs, missing persons
Sana'a - Saba: Prime Minister Ahmed al-Rahawi on Wednesday launched the school bag project for the children of martyrs and missing persons in the capital Sana'a and various governorates. This annual initiative is implemented by the General Authority for the Care of Martyrs' Families. During the inauguration, the Prime Minister emphasized that this project is a yearly commitment and duty to those who sacrificed their lives defending the nation's land, honor, and sovereignty. He stated, "Today, we live in an atmosphere of freedom and dignity thanks to the sacrifices of the righteous martyrs who watered the soil of the homeland with their blood in defense of its security, sovereignty, and independence." Al-Rahawi highlighted that the martyrs' sacrifices have brought dignity, honor, stability, and freedom. He affirmed that, thanks to the leadership of Sayyed Abdulmalik Badr al-Din al-Houthi and the Supreme Political Council, Yemen is moving "from victory to victory" and fulfilling its brotherly, religious, and moral duty to support the oppressed in Gaza. The Prime Minister asserted that threats from the Zionist enemy will only strengthen Yemen's resolve to support its brethren in Gaza, calling it an irreversible commitment. He added that the Yemeni people, armed forces, and security are at a high state of readiness to defend the nation, its freedom, and its cause, regardless of the arrogance of the American and European-backed Zionist enemy. Al-Rahawi also acknowledged the steadfastness of Palestinian resistance fighters for over 630 days against immense NATO-backed firepower, noting their success in destroying enemy vehicles and killing thousands of soldiers since Operation al-Aqsa Flood. He concluded by reaffirming the Government of Change and Construction's increased attention and care for the families of martyrs and missing persons, expressing confidence that their children will excel in knowledge and science, just as their parents excelled in confronting enemies.

Euro-Mediterranean HR monitor: 85% of Gaza Strip under Israeli control
Geneva – Saba: The Geneva-based Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor accused Israeli entity on Wednesday of continuing to commit the crime of forced displacement against the population of the Gaza Strip, as part of a declared and systematic policy aimed at emptying the Strip of its indigenous population. The monitor said in a statement that Israeli entity is using multiple tools to achieve this goal, including widespread bombing, bulldozing, starvation, destruction of infrastructure, forced expulsion by military force, and forced eviction orders. It stated that Israeli entity has transformed most of the Gaza Strip into devastated and uninhabitable lands, forcing hundreds of thousands of residents to forcibly regroup in a small area of no more than 15% of the Strip's area, in preparation for mass displacement outside Gaza. This is a direct extension of the genocide committed against Palestinians for nearly 21 months, according to Quds Press Agency. The Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor revealed that between June 28 and 30, Israeli forces issued three new military evacuation orders covering large areas east and south of Gaza City and the northern Gaza Strip, displacing tens of thousands of civilians without any safe haven or possibility of return. The Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor noted that these orders bring the number of evacuation orders issued by Israel since March 18, the date on which it reneged on the temporary ceasefire agreement, to 51. Some are new orders, others are renewals of previous orders, amid ongoing military escalation. It explained that more than 85% of the Gaza Strip is now under direct military control or subject to forced displacement orders, effectively systematically erasing the Palestinian presence on the ground and a blatant attempt to effect permanent demographic change. The Observatory reported that displacement orders since last March have displaced at least one million Palestinians, many of whom were forced to flee to destroyed or open areas or to the streets, amid a lack of food, water, and services, and amidst the spread of disease, under extremely harsh humanitarian conditions. The Observatory noted that Israeli enemy forces are not content with expelling residents, but are systematically destroying the neighborhoods they are displacing through aerial bombardment, explosive robot bombing, and demolition and bulldozing, in one of the largest campaigns of urban and residential destruction in modern times. It confirmed that Israeli bombardment even targets areas to which civilians have been forced to flee, including tents, schools, and shelters. On Tuesday, July 1, five civilians, including a woman and two children, were killed when their tents were targeted in al-Mawasi area west of Khan Yunis, despite it being one of the areas to which the enemy had previously directed displaced persons. With American and European support, the Israeli enemy army has continued to commit genocidal crimes in the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023, resulting in the martyrdom of 57,012 Palestinian citizens, the majority of whom were children and women, and the injury of 134,592 others. To date, this is a preliminary toll, with thousands of victims still buried under the rubble and on the streets, unable to be reached by ambulances and rescue teams. Whatsapp Telegram Email Print
