UAE's Air Arabia to resume flights to Iraq after Iran-Israel truce
Air Arabia, a low-cost carrier located in Sharjah, the UAE, will resume flights to neighboring countries, including Iraq, on July 1, following the reopening of regional airspace after Iran and Israel's 12-day battle.
The carrier confirmed the gradual resumption of previously stopped flights as regional airspaces have been reopened following a ceasefire deal between Iran and Israel, according to Gulf News.
The airline will resume flight operations to Iraqi destinations, including Baghdad, Erbil, and Basra.
Air Arabia will also restart flights to Iran, Russia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia.
Iraqi Airways resumed flights on Wednesday, a day after Iran and Israel reached a ceasefire agreement following a 12-day conflict in which Tel Aviv and Tehran exchanged missile and drone raids.
After Israel struck Iran on June 13, claiming that its goal was to prevent the country from getting nuclear weapons, airlines continued to avoid huge sections of the Middle East.
This avoidance was due to continuous missile clashes between Israel and Iran, the most recent interruption in the region.

Greek Shipowner Linked to Rare Suezmax Deal to Replace Houthi-Damaged Tanker
Greek shipping interests have reportedly entered a rare secondhand sale-and-purchase (S&P) deal to acquire a replacement vessel, signaling a swift response to operational disruptions in the Red Sea. The Sounion, which was carrying 1 million barrels of Iraqi crude to Greece, suffered severe damage from multiple projectiles on August 21, 2024, prompting fears of an environmental disaster and forcing the vessel out of service. Salvage efforts were only permitted after international pressure led the Houthis to allow rescue operations. According to industry sources, the replacement vessel is believed to be a modern Suezmax tanker, acquired discreetly through a private transaction. While the buyer's identity has not been officially confirmed, maritime analysts suggest links to Greek owner George Chatzis, known for his recent activity in the secondhand market. The deal is notable given the tight availability of Suezmax tonnage and rising geopolitical risks in the region.

Iran-Israel War & New Middle East Project
Sana'a – SABA: Written by: The Political Editor The forces of global tyranny—led by the United States and the Zionist entity—have bared their fangs in a destructive campaign targeting the foundations of life in the Middle East, particularly on the military front. This is not a spontaneous development, but rather a deliberate step in the implementation of a long-planned strategy known as the 'New Middle East.' When this neocolonial project was first announced, it was categorically rejected by the Arab region. At that point, the U.S., Israel, and their allies recognized the difficulty of achieving their aims so long as powerful regional states like Egypt, Iraq, Syria, Iran, and the Gulf countries maintained substantial military and economic capabilities. Thus, a step-by-step plan was devised to dismantle these powers—militarily and economically—while securing economic dominance over the Gulf states through the hollowing out of their political systems. The results are now clear: the Iraqi and Syrian armies have been destroyed, Egypt's military has been neutralized, and even Hezbollah's capabilities have been significantly degraded. Now, the assault has reached the core of the Resistance Axis—Iran—which is under intense Israeli military attack using a wide range of advanced weaponry. This aggression is met with deafening silence from the Arab and Islamic worlds, with only timid, ineffective statements—except for the honorable stance of the Republic of Yemen, which continues to rain missiles and drones on the Zionist entity in solidarity. Those who turn a blind eye to the dangers of the U.S.-Israeli colonial project will not escape its consequences, no matter how long it takes. The goal isn't merely military destruction—it includes full economic and energy resource control, especially in the Gulf, which is now firmly in America's grasp, subject to financial blackmail without the ability to resist. The colonial powers are fully aware of the Arab region's immense geopolitical significance, its untapped wealth, and its dense population—ideal for exploitation as cheap labor or a consumer market for Western products. That's why they have sought to create a 'New Middle East' that tightens their grip on this vital area through all available means. It is evident that the implementation of this project has reached its final stages: the attempt to destroy Iran's military and nuclear capabilities and seize control of its oil resources. What is most regrettable is the submissive posture of Arab rulers, who bury their heads in the sand like ostriches—acting as if what is happening around them is of no concern. But the truth is, the danger will inevitably reach them if they don't wake up from their slumber and realize the magnitude of the conspiracy surrounding them. Whatsapp Telegram Email Print
