The breach of the truce included airstrikes as well as flights by jetfighters and spy planes, say officials charged with overseeing the ceasefire.

The violation of the ceasefire comes after the Yemeni Army assisted by popular forces launched drone and missile attacks on Saudi soil in response to Riyadh’s repeated violations of the armistice.

Saudi Arabia began its military campaign against Yemen in March, 2015 in the form of a coalition comprised of several Arab countries and with the green light from Washington.

The aggression has left large numbers of people dead and touched off a humanitarian crisis in Yemen.

“The plan proposed by Sana’a in good faith carries a strong message suggesting robust determination to end the war, lift the cruel blockade on people, and resolve the Yemen crisis through political means,” said Saeed Khatibzadeh.

“If there is serious and positive engagement with this initiative, it can set the stage for ending the current war,” he added.

“With the holy month of Ramadan around the corner, we hope efforts are made to prioritize humanitarian issues and move forward with a prisoner swap, so that we will see fighting stop and national reconciliation take hold in Yemen,” he said.

The Ansrullah movement has announced a unilateral ceasefire in war-torn Yemen.

Saudi Arabia and its allies invaded Yemen with the aim of reinstating fugitive former president Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi in March 2015.

During the period, huge numbers of Yemeni civilians have been killed in the war with the country’s infrastructure, ruined. Millions of Yemenis have also been internally displaced.

“Comprehensive studies at joint Arash field have been completed by drilling an exploration well and conducting seismographic work,” said Javad Oji.

“Drilling work will soon get underway at this field with the installation of a jacket,” he explained.

“Although we are willing to hold talks and cooperate to develop joint fields, unilateral measures will not stop the implementation of the said project,” he noted.

This comes as Iran has denounced as “illegal” an agreement between Kuwait and Saudi Arabia on the Arash gas field.

“The Arash/al-Durra is a joint gas field between Iran, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, parts of which are located in areas between Iran and Kuwait whose water boundaries have yet to be defined,” Tehran said recently.

“Based on international regulations and procedures, any attempt to exploit and develop this field would be subject to coordination and cooperation among the three states. So the recent move by Kuwait and Saudi Arabia within a cooperation document is illegal and goes against the ongoing procedures and the previously-held talks, having no impact on the legal status of the field and the Islamic Republic of Iran does not approve of it,” Iran highlighted.

Arash gas field in the Persian Gulf is jointly owned by Iran, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.

Iranian Health Ministry figures on Monday showed 42 people died of the disease in the past 24 hours.
The daily caseload was 2,915 including 350 hospitalizations.

The number of triple-vaxxed people in Iran is however increasing at a slow pace. So far, slightly more than 26 million people have got their third dose of vaccine, also known as the booster shoot.

This is while the total number of shots given to people in Iran is 146,655,682.

The discrepancy between these two figures show many people are dragging their feet on receiving their booster shots. Iranian authorities including President Ebrahim Raisi have urged all people to get the third dose of the vaccine.

Covid has so far killed more than 140 thousand people in Iran with a population  of more than 85 million.

Despite that, Iran has done way better than many other countries around the world in terms of containment of the virus.

The number of cities marked blue, the lowest level of risk from Covid, are on the rise and the number of red cities, which face the highest level of danger, is declining.

Iranian MP says IRGC must be top priority in Vienna talks

Azizi referred to EU Deputy Foreign Policy Chief Enrique Mora’s visit to Tehran. He said Iran has always been rational and is open to talks and it believes that talks can resolve many problems.

Azizi however emphasized that Iran will firmly stick to its redlines and will not back down on them based on promises by the EU and the US.

The vice-chairman of the Iranian parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Commission noted that the legislature will support any agreement that safeguard the national interests of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

He noted that the IRGC is Iran’s honor and that in the talks, the top priority must be the removal of the sanctions on the corps. Azizi said Iran cannot let a revolutionary organ like the IRGC be oppressed.

Azizi further referred the Iranian foreign minister remarks about the IRGC’s sanctions. He said those comments were not worthy of Hossein Amir Abdollahian although he later corrected himself.
He underlined that the IRGC comes from the will of the Iranian nation.

Azizi said the country must use its full power to safeguard this revolutionary organ, adding, “Our diplomatic delegation’s biggest responsibility is to protect the ÌRGC.”
