IRGC spokesman Brigadier General Ali Naeini said in a press statement during the funeral of a number of Iranian military commanders, as reported by Tasnim News Agency, that Trump's erratic statements stem from the heavy defeat he suffered at the hands of Iran.

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)

Yemen : IDF intercepts Houthi Missiles
The Israeli Air Force intercepted missiles launched from Yemen and Gaza on Tuesday night, after sirens sent people across the country to seek shelter. Sirens sounded in multiple areas, including most of Jerusalem, Ben Gurion Airport, Modiin, Rishon Lezion and some West Bank settlements. No injuries or damage were reported. Sirens also sounded in the Gaza envelope after two rockets were launched from southern Gaza. The Israel Defense Forces said those rockets likewise caused no injuries. Rocket fire from Gaza has become rare after 20 months of fighting between Israel and Hamas. The Houthis — whose slogan calls for 'Death to America, Death to Israel, [and] a Curse on the Jews' — are an Iranian proxy that began attacking Israel and maritime traffic in November 2023, a month after the October 7 Hamas massacre. Since March 18, when a ceasefire ended and the IDF resumed its offensive against Hamas in the Gaza Strip, the Houthis have launched more than 50 ballistic missiles and at least 13 drones at Israel. Several of the missiles have fallen short.

Trump Administration's Policy failure in face of Iran's victory in recent war
By: Abdulaziz Al-Huzzi – Saba News Agency, Sana'a The administration of U.S. President Donald Trump deliberately approached global relations with disdain and arrogance—sometimes issuing military threats, at other times imposing sanctions, tariffs, or engaging in blackmail, weapon sales, or forced trade deals. However, this tired American policy failed in its latest confrontation with Iran. Whenever the Trump administration failed to secure gains through diplomacy or enticements, it would revert to threats and punitive measures or outright military action. It often sought to coerce the other party—whether a state, entity, or organization—into alignment with U.S. hegemonic interests by offering economic or diplomatic incentives to soften their position. Every political negotiation with another party was accompanied by unrealistic, even humiliating demands—akin to surrender terms. If diplomacy didn't work, the U.S. would impose economic sanctions and threaten military action, as seen in its approach to Iran, a strong and defiant power in the region. If all else failed militarily, Washington would return to the table begging for negotiations—just as it is now doing with Iran. Meanwhile, it continues to provide unwavering support to Israel against Palestinian resistance, proposing conditions that are unacceptable to the resistance factions. This carrot-and-stick approach—mixing intimidation with enticement—has long been a staple of U.S. foreign policy. Yet, it ran up against the unwavering stance of the Islamic Republic of Iran, which firmly upholds the principles of its revolution, prioritizes national security, and confronts Western powers, especially the U.S. and Israel. Iran's resolute policies reflect its determination to preserve independence and sovereignty, assert itself as a regional power, and resist perceived external and internal threats. This stance is evident in several key areas: Commitment to Revolutionary Principles: Iran sees these as the foundation of its statehood, applying them in all political, economic, and social spheres, while rejecting foreign domination. Strengthening Defense Capabilities: Iran emphasizes the need to bolster its military and defense capacities to safeguard sovereignty, including a proactive deterrence strategy and defense of its nuclear program, considered part of its national security despite international controversy. Strategic Alliances: Iran seeks stronger ties with Russia and China to counterbalance Western influence and circumvent sanctions. It has joined the Shanghai Cooperation Organization and aspires to join BRICS to cement its role in the evolving global order. Before the U.S. encouraged Israel to attack Iran recently, Tehran and Washington were at the negotiating table discussing the nuclear file. Yet behind the scenes, the U.S. and Israel were plotting a blatant attack launched on June 13, targeting Iran's peaceful nuclear facilities, military commanders, top nuclear physicists, and air bases. Iran, in defending itself, thwarted the U.S.-Israeli aggression after 12 days of intense conflict, emerging stronger and more empowered. Today, after this blatant aggression on its nuclear infrastructure, the Trump administration is desperately seeking to bring Iran back to negotiations. Meanwhile, IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi—accused by Tehran of sharing nuclear facility information with Israel—is fueling tensions by suggesting Iran may have moved part of its enriched uranium stockpile prior to the U.S. airstrikes, contradicting Trump's earlier claims that Iran's nuclear program had been 'completely destroyed.' Grossi told American media that while some uranium might have been destroyed, 'it's possible another portion was relocated,' noting that Iran's nuclear program remains 'broad and ambitious' and parts of it may still be operational. Earlier, Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf accused the IAEA of collaborating with Israel in targeting Iranian nuclear sites. He posted on X (formerly Twitter): 'The IAEA gambled its already fragile credibility by sharing our nuclear site info with the criminal Israeli regime, paving the way for aggression, without even publicly condemning the attacks.' Last Wednesday, Iran's parliament passed a bill to suspend cooperation with the IAEA until Iran's nuclear facilities are guaranteed protection. Ali Reza Salimi, a member of the parliamentary committee, confirmed that the decision to cut ties with the IAEA will be sent to Iran's Supreme National Security Council for ratification. The law also imposes penalties on anyone who allows IAEA personnel access to Iran. In this context, retired Turkish Air Force colonel and political analyst Ihsan Sefa, a member of the central committee of Turkey's Vatan Party, stated in an interview with Russia's Novosti Agency that Israel failed to achieve its goals in the recent confrontation with Iran and suffered unexpected human and material losses. Sefa emphasized that Tehran emerged stronger and more respected in the region, shifting the balance of deterrence in its favor. He explained: 'Tel Aviv sought to destroy Iran's nuclear capabilities, demoralize its people, and trigger regime change. None of that happened—instead, Iran's regional standing grew.' He added: 'Iran stands today as it did before the 12-day conflict, but with greater regional respect. So who is the real victor?' Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei declared his country's victory over Israel following the 12-day conflict, congratulating the Iranian people on their triumph.
