Iran Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdolahian

Amir Abdollahian, in a phone conversation with Sheikh Abdullah bin Zaye Al Nahyan, said the presence of the Zionist regime in the region poses a threat to all regional nations.

Amir Abdollahian then underscored the need to make an effort to prevent those who cause crises, gain a foothold in the region.

The Iranian foreign minister referred to the commonalities of Iran and the UAE, saying, “We do not wish anything but good, security and progress for our neighbors, the region and the UAE.”

Amir Abdollahian also said good meetings and consultations have been held between the officials of the two countries, adding there are no limits to the all-out expansion of relations.

Amir Abdollahian then spoke of the Yemen crisis. He welcomed the establishment of a temporary truce in Yemen and expressed hope that the humanitarian siege of Yemen will be lifted and all Yemeni factions will engage in political dialog.

Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan also for his part expressed hope that the deep-rooted ties between his country and Iran will further expand in the new year.

The top UAE diplomat said the situation has improved regionally in recent weeks and that Syrian President Bashar al-Asad’s visit to the UAE and the ceasefire in Yemen have provided an opportunity for all sides to develop and progress and also avoid fueling tensions.

He also underlined that the UAE will not allow any party to use its soil for sabotage or provocative acts against the neighbors of the Arab country

Israeli forces shoot dead Palestinian man in refugee camp

The Palestine Health Ministry reported on Saturday that one Palestinian was martyred and 13 were wounded during clashes between local residents in Jenin and the armed forces of the occupying regime.

Slamming the latest Israeli aggressions in Jenin, spokesman for the prominent Gaza-based resistance group Hamas, Abdul-Latif al-Qanoun, insisted that the regime’s current aggressions won’t restore the lost credibility of the occupier’s military forces and leadership.

The Hamas official further added that Tel Aviv’s “military aggressions against out people in Jenin should generate a massive intifada (uprising) against the Zionist occupiers across the West Bank.”

He also vowed that “West Bank’s cities, refugee camps and streets will turn into flames that would burn the feet of the occupying aggressors.”

The Israeli military, meanwhile, told news outlets that its assault against the Palestinian refugee camp in the northern West Bank city of Jenin was ongoing.

The Palestinian health ministry further announced that five other Palestinians were wounded in Jenin by gunfire from the Israeli regime forces.

Saturday’s raid comes a day after the occupying regime announced the killing of the 28-year-old Palestinian, identified as Raad Hazem, blaming him for the shooting death of three Israeli occupiers on Thursday and wounding more than a dozen others at a popular Israeli nightlife district in Tel Aviv.

After the deadly Tel Aviv attack, hawkish Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said he had given “full freedom” to the regime’s suppressive armed forces to contain a surge in violence since March 22.

“There are not and will not be limits for this war,” Bennett boasted on Friday, speaking hours after the Palestinian resistance fighter opened fire on a street of crowded Israeli bars and restaurants.

“We are granting full freedom of action to the army, the Shin Bet (the regime’s infamous domestic police agency) and all security forces in order to defeat the terror,” he added.

A total of 14 people have been killed in attacks across the Israeli-occupied territories since March 22. Over the same period, at least 10 Palestinians have been martyred, including the resistance fighters that carried out the attacks.

Palestinian Hamas and the Islamic Jihad resistance factions praised the Tel Aviv attack against the Israeli occupiers but did not claim responsibility for them.

Thursday’s attack came amid heightened tensions during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.

Last year during Ramadan, clashes that flared between the Israeli regime forces and Palestinian worshipers visiting Al-Aqsa mosque in the occupied east Jerusalem led to 11 days of devastating conflict between the Israeli forces and Hamas fighters.

Jenin has been a flashpoint through the long-running clashes between the Israeli regime’s military and local Palestinians.

Earlier this month, the Israeli forces killed three Islamic Jihad fighters when they came under fire during an operation to arrest them in Jenin.

The raid, in which four Israeli soldiers were wounded, followed another deadly attack on March 29 in Bnei Brak, an Orthodox Jewish city near Tel Aviv.

In that attack, a Palestinian resistance fighter with an assault rifle killed two Israeli occupiers, two native Ukrainian residents and a police officer.

Hajj

In increasing the numbers, the kingdom’s Ministry of Hajj and Umrah announced in a statement early on Saturday the annual Muslim pilgrimage to Mecca, Islam’s holiest site, would only be allowed for people who have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and are under the age of 65.

“It is of supreme importance to the government of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques to preserve the safety and security of Hajj pilgrims as well as visitors to the Prophet’s Mosque while ensuring that the maximum number of Muslims worldwide can perform Hajj and visit the Prophet’s Mosque in a safe and spiritual atmosphere,” the ministry added.

Pilgrims travelling from abroad will also need to have a negative PCR test taken no more than 72 hours before their departure for Saudi Arabia, the statement said, while health precautions will be in place in Mecca to curb the spread of the coronavirus.

The Hajj is one of the five pillars of Islam and a once-in-a-lifetime duty for all able-bodied Muslims to perform if they can afford it.

It is expected to take place in July this year with the numbers allowed from each country decided under a quota system.

Just a few thousand people were allowed to perform the pilgrimage in 2021 because of the COVID-19 pandemic, and only 1,000 the year before that. Before the virus emerged, some 2.5 million people would travel every year to Saudi Arabia for Hajj

“On the status of talks and Iran, we don’t have any updates to share at this time other than it’s obviously been a significant process,” State Department spokeswoman Jalina Porter stated.

“But an agreement is neither imminent nor certain at this time,” she added.

The spokesperson noted President Joe Biden shares The chairman of the Joint Chiefs, General Mark Milley’s view that “IRGC Qods Forces are terrorists”, and beyond that we aren’t going to comment on any of the topics in the nuclear talks.

“But what I would say is out of the 107 Biden administration designations in relation to Iran, 86 have specifically targeted the IRGC-related persons as well as affiliates,” she continued.

Milley had told a congressional hearing on Thursday that in his “personal opinion” the Quds Force should not be dropped from the terror list.

Iran’s Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian has stressed the US must act realistically instead of making excessive demands and hampering the Vienna talks aimed at reviving the Iran nuclear deal.

He stated Tehran is determined to reach a good, robust and lasting deal.

Mashhad Stabbing attack

“Religious sites are among the centers under Takfiris’ spotlight, and the recent terrorist move indicates they bear a grudge and animosity toward the Infallible Imams,” said Esmail Khatib.

He said they seek to touch off ethnic and religious divisions between Shiites and Sunnis as well as among other ethnic groups in order to deviate public attention from the crimes committed by the Israeli regime.

“Takifiris are trying to create new security problems in Iran using media and technology,” the minister underlined.

“It is essential that scholars, intellectuals and people from all walks of life foil these plots altogether with prudence and awareness,” he added.

The minister underscored the Israeli regime is trying to act as regional police with the backing of hegemonic powers and certain Arab countries.

“Efforts made by this wicked regime have been neutralized by suicide operations conducted by Palestinians,” he explained.

The intelligence minister made the comments days after two clerics were killed and one wounded in a stabbing attack by a Takfiri element at the Imam Reza holy shrine in the northeastern Iranian city of Mashhad in the province of Khorasan Razavi

Iran FM Spoesperson Saeed Khatibzadeh

Reacting to the recent developments in occupied Palestine, Khatibzadeh said the defenseless people of Palestine have a legitimate, clear and natural right to fight against the occupiers in response to the repeated desecrations of the scared sites of al-Quds by the Zionists and the usurper regime of Israel’s crimes and aggression against people who face harsh hardships and deprivation in the holy city of al-Quds and other Palestinian territories.

The Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman reaffirmed the Islamic Republic of Iran’s support for the Palestinian cause and the Palestinian people’s fight for freedom.

Khatibzadeh urged all nations, governments and international bodies to move toward providing the Palestinian people with security in line with the principle of legitimate defense against occupation and terrorist activities by the apartheid Zionist regime and to prevent the aggression and brutal crimes of Zionists in Palestine.

The Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman said the only solution to the Palestine crisis is to hold a referendum with the participation of the real residents of Palestine.

Khatibzadeh noted that given the defiant, law-evading and pledge-breaking nature of the fake Zionist regime, resistance is the only choice of the occupied nation of Palestine to force this occupying regime to accept a democratic solution for the liberation of the holy city of al-Quds and the determination of the fate of Palestine.
