Exclusive: Decapitated Bodies of Young Girls Found Buried in Houthi-Controlled Sanaa
Local sources revealed the discovery of unidentified young girls' bodies that had been dismembered and mutilated in a farm located in Old Sanaa City, the Yemeni capital under the control of the terrorist Houthi militia. A resident of the Old City told a "Khabar" agency correspondent that the bodies of four girls were found, decapitated and dismembered, before being buried in one of the area's farms. The source reported that the Iran-backed terrorist Houthi militia is heavily suppressing information about the incident, preventing residents from approaching or photographing the crime scene. The perpetrators remain at large, while the militia has taken no serious measures to uncover the criminals or hold them accountable. Areas under Houthi control, including the capital Sanaa, have seen a noticeable rise in crime rates amid an almost complete absence of the rule of law. The militia exploits security apparatuses to suppress opposition rather than protect citizens.

Israeli strikes hit Iran: Fordow facility among targets
Shafaq News/ Israel launched a series of intensified airstrikes on Monday targeting multiple sites across Iran, including the highly sensitive Fordow nuclear facility, in what Israeli officials described as an 'unprecedented assault.' In Qom, Iran's Crisis Management Directorate confirmed that the Fordow uranium enrichment facility had been struck. One of the country's most fortified nuclear sites, Fordow was hit on Sunday in a coordinated Israeli-American attack that also targeted Iran's nuclear facilities in Natanz and Isfahan. In Tehran, a building tied to Iran's state broadcasting authority was also struck, with Iranian media reporting that the attack took Khabar news channel off air. Simultaneously, explosions were reported in Karaj city, west of the capital, though the extent of the damage remains unconfirmed. Israeli missiles also hit near the Salam building, affiliated with the Iranian Red Crescent Society, in western Tehran. Field sources cited by Mehr News indicated that the strike caused material damage to nearby civilian structures without resulting in casualties. The Red Crescent has not issued an official statement. Iranian state media reported further strikes on Shahid Beheshti University in Tehran and the gate of Evin Prison. Israel's Army Radio confirmed the attack on the prison, where political prisoners and opposition figures are reportedly held. #عاجل ❌ قبل قليل أغارت طائرات حربية لسلاح الجو بتوجيه دقيق من هيئة الاستخبارات على مقرات قيادة ومصالح تابعة لقوات الأمن الداخلي والحرس الثوري الإيراني في طهران. ⭕️هذه القوات تتشكل من أفواج ومقرات قيادة مختلفة وتتولى المسؤولية نيابة عن القوات العسكرية التابعة للنظام الإيراني… — افيخاي ادرعي (@AvichayAdraee) June 23, 2025 Separately, Tasnim News Agency reported that three Iranian athletes were killed in the recent attacks.

Adulterated Iranian Fuel Floods Houthi-Held Areas: Locals Complain
Residents in Houthi-controlled areas have raised alarms over widespread distribution of adulterated Iranian fuel, which has led to severe mechanical failures in vehicles and machinery. In interviews with Khabar Agency, locals accused the Houthi militia of profiteering by selling substandard fuel on illicit markets amid an economic collapse that has crippled livelihoods. The militia, they say, capitalizes on the crisis by peddling chemically diluted fuel at exorbitant prices, directly harming civilians. The low-grade fuel has reportedly caused extensive damage to engines, forcing residents to shoulder costly repairs. The fallout extends beyond transportation: critical sectors like agriculture and industry have ground to a halt, exacerbating poverty and compounding Yemen's preexisting economic despair. The Houthi leadership, spearheaded by Mohammed Abdul Salam Falitah, has consolidated control over fuel imports through a network of loyal traders, enabling price manipulation and supply monopolization. Notably, the militia receives Iranian oil shipments—trafficked into Yemen and sold at triple the global market rate—further inflaming public outrage. Despite regular arrivals of fuel tankers at Hodeidah Port, the Houthis deliberately obstruct distribution to official stations, instead diverting supplies to black markets. There, the fuel is allegedly diluted with harmful additives, accelerating engine degradation in cars, farming equipment, and industrial machinery. Residents condemn the crisis as artificially engineered to exploit civilians. Many are demanding an end to the Houthi monopoly, urging authorities to permit independent traders to import fuel at fair prices. 'The Houthis weaponize fuel to extort and impoverish us,' one citizen told Khabar, reflecting widespread anger over systemic resource exploitation.

From Beirut to Sanaa: How Iran Exploited the Palestinian Cause to Tear Apart Arab Nations?
In an increasingly complex political landscape, the truths are becoming clear to the Arab peoples. Lofty slogans no longer mask the true agendas of the Iranian regime and its proxies in the region. Under the banner of resistance and the Palestinian cause—a long-standing symbol of Arab struggle—this cause has been transformed into a tool to achieve expansionist interests that have no real connection to supporting the Palestinian people. A fundamental question arises: Did Arab capitals need destruction and division to raise the flag of Palestine, or was the exploitation of the cause merely a cover for other projects? And what has the Palestinian people gained from the slogans raised in their name? Amid the conflicts and developments in the region, it has become evident that the Iranian axis forces are using the Palestinian cause as a pretext to achieve their expansionist agendas, with no real connection to supporting the Palestinian people. Vague slogans, even when dressed in political rhetoric, have become a means of exploiting the Palestinian cause. However, the peoples of the Middle East and their national leaders are no longer fooled by these claims, especially in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and Yemen, where their systems have been systematically targeted, leading their peoples to make sacrifices on the altar of sectarian projects. The Destruction of Beirut and the Ruin of Damascus This perspective is affirmed by the recently elected Lebanese President, Michel Aoun, in a statement during the emergency Arab summit held in Cairo to discuss the Israeli escalation against the Gaza Strip. He said, "The destruction of Beirut, the ruin of Damascus, and the instability of Sanaa are not in support of Palestine." Aoun, whose country breathed a sigh of relief after decades of sectarianism led by Hezbollah, Iran's arm in Lebanon, under the pretext of supporting the Palestinian cause, added: "When Beirut is occupied, Damascus is destroyed, Amman is threatened, Baghdad groans, or Sanaa falls, it is impossible for anyone to claim that this is in support of Palestine." Although this awakening came late, it served as a lifeline for some countries, particularly Lebanon and Syria, which have managed to regain part of their sovereignty after their capitals were among four capitals previously claimed by Tehran to be under its influence. The experiences of Lebanon and Syria serve as a model that compels other countries suffering under the weight of the Iranian project, especially in Yemen and Iraq, to take responsibility for freeing themselves from this influence, which hides behind the slogan of "resistance." Exploiting the Palestinian Cause In this context, observers told "Khabar" agency that Iran, which has presented itself as the "protector of resistance," has not been content with raising slogans of support for the Palestinian cause. Instead, it has exploited this title to expand its regional influence through its proxies in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and Yemen, where it has supported armed militias that have destroyed the social and political fabric of these countries. The observers point out that Hezbollah in Lebanon has tightened its grip on political and economic decision-making, leading to the collapse of the state, while it has rarely launched rockets toward Israel compared to its internal operations against political opponents. In Iraq, Iran-backed factions have become a force above the state, controlling the security and economic landscape, assassinating opponents, and imposing their agenda by force, while the Iraqi people suffer from corruption and economic collapse. Although these factions raise the slogan of "liberating Jerusalem," they have not provided any practical support to the Palestinians. Instead, they have engaged in internal repression and liquidation operations that serve Iranian interests. In Yemen, the Houthi militia has exploited Iranian support to wage a bloody war, leading to one of the worst humanitarian disasters in the world, while continuing to raise the slogan "Death to America and Israel." Meanwhile, its military attacks in the Red Sea have not achieved any tangible results against U.S. naval forces deployed in the region, except for multiplying the economic burdens on neighboring countries. Observers note that this militia has not directed any direct escalation toward Israel except for political propaganda, while its primary focus has been on controlling Yemen and destroying its social fabric, with covert support from Iran and Russia. Weakening Arab Nations Observers agree that this approach shows that Iran has never been genuinely concerned with liberating Palestine. Instead, it has sought to exploit the cause to legitimize its interventions in Arab countries, with catastrophic results. It has left behind destroyed Arab capitals, divided peoples, and societies plunged into chaos, while the Palestinian cause is used as a political tool to gain legitimacy and confuse the regional landscape. They reiterate that the exploitation of the Palestinian cause has been exposed. It is illogical to destroy Arab capitals and undermine the sovereignty of states under the pretext of confronting Israel, even if the declared goal is "supporting Palestine." The reality shows that Arab peoples have paid the heaviest price for these projects, while the Palestinians remain alone on the battlefield, struggling with nothing but hollow rhetoric that offers them no real benefit.
