Iran forcing out Afghans en masse after Israel spying claims
After the Taliban retook power in Afghanistan in 2021, Nawida fled with her family to neighboring Iran. The lawyer had helped send members of the Islamist group to jail, and feared being arrested — or killed — for her work. More than three years later, she is again in hiding — this time in a Tehran suburb with her siblings and eight-year-old son. Iran has embarked on a massive deportation drive of the country's 3 million-plus population of Afghan refugees, some of whom authorities say aided Israel's airstrikes on the country last month. "I don't know for how long we can keep ourselves like prisoners and I don't know what lies ahead for us,' said Nawida, who no longer has a valid visa and didn't want to give her full name to avoid being identified. "We're calling out loud on the international community to reach out and help us.'

Saudi Arabia renews call for international community to stand by Syria
DUBAI: The Saudi foreign ministry condemned the Israeli attacks on Syrian territory in a statement on X. The ministry expressed its satisfaction with the measures taken by the Syrian government to achieve security and stability over all Syrian territory. Saudi Arabia called for the international community to stand by Syria and confront these ongoing Israeli attacks and violations against Syria. Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan discussed Israeli attacks on Syria with his Turkish counterpart Hakan Fidan on Wednesday. The two ministers held the call after Israel launched powerful airstrikes in Damascus on Wednesday, blowing up part of the defense ministry and hitting near the presidential palace. The attacks marked a significant Israeli escalation against President Ahmed Al-Sharaa's government and came despite his warming ties with the US and his administration's evolving security contacts with Israel. Scores of people have been killed this week in violence in and around the predominantly Druze city of Sweida, pitting fighters from the Druze minority against government security forces and members of Bedouin tribes.
