Iran, which has already won the ticket to the World Cup finals in Qatar, netted one minute before the end of the first half time.

Alireza Jahanbakhsh’s cross found Ali Qolizadeh in the box whose header hit the far post and Mehdi Taremi sent the rebound in with a left drive.

Five minutes into the second half, the referee sent off Sadeq Moharrami for his second bookable foul, reducing Team Melli’s squad to 10.

This however did not help the UAE and they left Iran empty-handed. The win pushed to 22 the points of Group A’s leader Iran.

Yemen warns of new attacks on UAE Expo

The spokesman for the Yemeni armed forces on Twitter warned the Expo of a missile attack.

Yahya Saree’s warning comes as Yemeni forces have already launched attacks on Expo including three large-scale operations called “Yemen Storm” which saw the bombing of critical bases deep in the sheikhdom with drones and missiles.

Yemeni Armed Forces spokesman Yahya Saree threatened on Tuesday last week to target the Expo in Dubai. He urged the UAE to change its policy on Yemen.

Dubai’s World Expo was launched on September 30, 2021 by the ruler of Dubai with the participation of 192 countries. The exhibition will run until March 31, 2022.

The Yemeni Army spokesman on Monday also warned that the UAE will not be safe so long as it presses ahead with its aggression against the Yemeni people as a tool in the hands of the Israeli regime. Saree called on the Emirati citizens and companies to stay away from vital sites and facilities as they are vulnerable targets for the Yemeni Army.

In addition to the UAE, the Yemeni forces have also launched attacks inside Saudi Arabia as part of their efforts to fight back against the Saudi-led coalition members for their aggression against the impoverished country.

The Saudi-led war started nearly 7 years ago. The Saudi and UAE fighter bombers have stepped up their attacks against Yemeni cities in recent days.

“Down with Israel” appeared on display devices of Israel’s E-Post Company’s red metal mailboxes as the company reported to have been hacked in a cyberattack.

A video footage appeared online showing that collection and distribution boxes of Israeli Postal Company that people use to transport their packages are being opened and closed on their own while a photo shows “Down with Israel” slogan on the display monitor of the mailboxes.

The footage was posted on Facebook by a user named Kobi Samboursky who calls himself the “Founder & Managing Partner at Glilot Capital Partners”.

In another post on twitter a user who appears to be working at the Israeli E-Post Company confirmed the hack, citing cyberattack investigators and saying that the move was an anti-Israel action.

“The classic case of a Shodan search resulting with access to PLC box in-the-wild. This time a @unitronics EPOST admin panel hacked remotely. Found a 100 in @shodanhq to begin with,” said Ido Naor, a Principal Security Researcher in Kaspersky’s Global Research and Analysis Team, blaming the hack on Shodan, a search engine that lets users search for various types of servers connected to the internet using a variety of filters.

“The 22nd brigade of Hashd al-Shabi prevented Daesh elements from infiltrating al-Aith desert in eastern Salaheddin Province,” the PMUs said in the statement, using the Arabic name for their group.

Over the past months, the Hashd – PMU – forces have repeatedly blocked attempts by Daesh terrorists to enter different parts of Salaheddin Province, including the holy city of Samarra.

The Iraqi government announced victory over the terrorists in 2017. But pockets of the terrorist group remain holed up in different parts of the country, especially in its desert areas.

The other three people are two wrestlers and a coach.

Spokesman Mohamamd Ebrahim Emami said the US consulate in Dubai has told the Iranian team members to pick up their visas.

He noted, “We have told the American officials only after visas are issued for all the members of the Iranian team including Alireza Dabir, we will pick up the visas”.

Emami also said Iran’s Wrestling Federation has informed the US wrestling authorities that even if one member of the Iranian team is denied his visa, the rest of the team will not go to the US. The Iranian wrestlers were supposed to fight their US peers in a friendly competition on February 12 in Texas.

Source: Jalili recommends JCPOA withdrawal, 90% enrichment

According to the source quoted by Iranian daily Shargh, in his letter, Jalili explicitly expresses his opposition to the current path of negotiations in Vienna and stresses that Iran must withdraw from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action now.

Jalili, who served as the lead nuclear negotiator under former President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, predicts that the other side will face legal problems in pursuing the snapback of the main nuclear sanctions against Iran.

According to the source, Jalili believes that any snapback of sanctions will require a referral to the UN Security Council, but Russia and China will use their veto powers and block the efforts of the Europeans and the United States.

The former nuclear negotiator believes when Iran pulls out of the JCPOA and intensifies uranium enrichment, it can sit down for talks with the U.S. and secure the removal of all sanctions.

The source says Jalili wrote the letter after he failed to convince Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian and lead negotiator Ali Bagheri Kani to abandon the current path of negotiations.

Jalili has yet to comment on this report.

Saudi forces detain Shia cleric in Medina

Local Shia sources reported the development on Tuesday, saying the arrestee — who is the son of the late cleric Sheikh Muhammad al-Amri — was transferred by Saudi security forces to an “unknown location” upon detention.

Sheikh Amri is the custodian of a famous mosque in Medina and represents Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, Iraq’s senior Shia cleric, in the holy city. He had been arrested once in 2010 too.

His arrest came only a couple of days after a court in Saudi Arabia sentenced Shia cleric Sheikh Abdul Latif al-Nasser to eight years in prison on “terrorism charges.”

Sheikh Nasser had likewise been placed under arbitrary arrest while traveling with his family on the King Fahd Causeway, which connects Saudi Arabia and Bahrain, in June 2019.

Back in 2017, the Saudi kingdom changed its counterterrorism laws to include dissent as a punishable crime. The new laws came to stipulate penalties of up to 10 years in jail for insulting the king and the crown prince as well as the death penalty for “other acts of terrorism.”

Ever since, Riyadh has been coming down hard on its Shia minority, whose members are mainly concentrated in the country’s oil-rich Eastern Province.

“I am glad that at the beginning of the New Year, the relations between the two nations have entered the second fifty years of diplomatic relations and coincided with the announcement of the implementation of the 25-year comprehensive cooperation program. I hope that in light of the mutual political trust and cooperation, we will see the development and deepening of bilateral, regional and international cooperation in all fields, especially the common interests of developing countries,” Ebrahim Raisi wrote in his message to Xi Jinping on Tuesday.

China is Iran’s biggest trading partner and remains an important customer of its crude oil even as many other countries avoid buying Iranian oil out of fear of unilateral sanctions imposed by the United States.

The two sides began implementing their 25-year cooperation agreement in mid-January to strengthen their long-standing economic and political ties.
