Araghchi: Washington requests talks, Tehran refuses amid Israeli aggression
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated on Friday that the United States has requested talks with Iran, but Tehran has rejected the overture, declaring such dialogue impossible while Israeli attacks and aggression continue.
In an interview with Iranian state television, Araghchi said: "Under the current circumstances, with the Zionist regime's ongoing attacks against Iran, we have no interest in talks with anyone... The Americans want this—they have sent messages multiple times, serious messages—but we have made it clear to them that unless the aggression stops, there is no room for dialogue or diplomacy," according to Sputnik News Agency.
Araghchi emphasized that Iran views the U.S. as a complicit partner in Israel's aggression against the Islamic Republic.
"Some countries have mediated and presented proposals, but we have not engaged with the U.S. and will not engage," he added, dismissing reports of direct communication as false.

Israel intercepts Houthi missile fired from Yemen
'Following the sirens that sounded a short while ago in several areas in Israel, a missile that was launched from Yemen was intercepted,' the Israeli military said. The Houthi militia targeted Israel's Ben Gurion airport 'using a 'Palestine 2' hypersonic ballistic missile,' their military spokesman Yahya Saree said in a video statement. The Yemeni group has launched repeated missile and drone attacks against Israel since their Palestinian ally Hamas's October 2023 attack triggered the Gaza war. The Houthis, who say they are acting in support of the Palestinians, paused their attacks during a two-month ceasefire in Gaza that ended in March, but resumed them after Israel relaunched major operations. Israel has carried out several retaliatory strikes in Yemen, targeting Houthi-held ports and the airport in the rebel-controlled capital, Sanaa.

Israeli Occupation Continues Escalation in the West Bank: Raids, Gunfire, and Systematic Attacks
West Bank – Saba: Israeli occupation forces and settler militias continued their wave of attacks across various areas of the West Bank on Friday evening, including direct raids, road closures, and physical and armed assaults on Palestinian civilians, amid widespread tension and clashes. According to the Palestinian news agency Wafa, heavily armed settlers—under the protection of Israeli forces—stormed the outskirts of the village of Duma, south of Nablus, and opened heavy gunfire, triggering confrontations with local residents amid a highly tense atmosphere. In eastern Tulkarm, occupation forces raided the neighborhoods of Oktaba and the town of Anabta. Troops stationed around the Oktaba roundabout disrupted traffic, stopped vehicles, and interrogated passengers. Gunfire was reported near the Al-Qaisi neighborhood and mosque in what appeared to be acts of intimidation, though no injuries or arrests were recorded. Military vehicles continued to roam the streets and neighborhoods of Anabta, coinciding with Israel's ongoing aggression against the city of Tulkarm and its two refugee camps—Tulkarm and Nur Shams—for the 187th consecutive day. The area remains under a severe siege, with permanent military reinforcements preventing residents from accessing their homes. Meanwhile, in Bethlehem, Israeli forces closed the eastern entrance of Al-Khader town—south of the city—near the tunnel checkpoint leading to Beit Jala, using a metal gate. Soldiers were also deployed throughout the area, severely disrupting the movement of civilians. These actions are part of Israel's ongoing strategy to tighten its grip on Palestinians and escalate provocations in cities and towns across the West Bank, amid ongoing international silence in the face of intensifying violations.
