Iran Oil Gas

The kits, known for their low cost and high quality, are now being exported due to their efficiency in quickly detecting gases in the oil, gas, and mining industries.

The CEO of knowledge-based company behind the achievement, Mohammad Javad Kargar, said that the company focuses on creating analysis devices and related chemicals for the oil, gas, petrochemical, water and sewage, environmental, and mining industries.

Among its products are spectrophotometers, online COD analyzers, portable spectrophotometers, and related consumables.

The rapid gas detection kits, one of the company’s innovations, consist of detector tubes that offer a quick, easy, and accurate method for measuring target gases.

The kits are critical in the oil, gas, and petrochemical industries, especially during the restart of refineries or petrochemical plants, and are essential in mines to prevent accidents by analyzing and identifying gases.

Iran’s achievement in this field places it behind only Germany and Japan, with the kits being significantly 50% less expensive than their German and Japanese counterparts.

The cost advantage has led to successful exports to Oman and the UAE, receiving positive reception in the Persian Gulf region.

“As part of the ongoing Israeli enemy’s violations of the cease-fire agreement and its attacks on Lebanon’s sovereignty and its citizens, hostile forces advanced today into Qantara and Taybeh, setting fire to several homes there,” it wrote on X.

“A joint patrol of the Lebanese army and the UN Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) headed to the site of the incursion to monitor the situation in coordination with the Tripartite Committee overseeing the cease-fire agreement.”

“The hostile forces have begun withdrawing from the two areas, while the Lebanese army is working to reopen roads that the Israeli enemy had blocked there,” it added.

The Israeli army committed 10 additional cease-fire violations with Lebanon on Saturday, bringing the total breaches since last month to 329.

At least 32 people have been killed and 38 injured in Israeli attacks since the cease-fire took effect Nov. 27, according to Lebanese Health Ministry figures.

Under the terms of the cease-fire, Israel is required to withdraw its forces south of the Blue Line — a de facto border — in phases, while the Lebanese army is to deploy in southern Lebanon within 60 days.​​​​​​​

Data from the Lebanese Health Ministry indicates that since Israel’s onslaught against Lebanon began Oct. 8, 2023, at least 4,063 victims have been killed, including women, children and health workers, while 16,663 others have been injured.

Gaza War

In a statement shared on the WFP’s X account, the agency highlighted the immense challenges faced in delivering life-saving aid in Gaza, saying, “Despite our best efforts to provide life-saving aid, it is impossible to meet people’s needs in the current scenario of conflict, insecurity and restrictions.”

The WFP emphasized the urgent need for a ceasefire, stating that it has come “too late” for the people of Gaza, with daily life completely disrupted.

“Life is on pause for over 2 million people without access to food, water, shelter,” the organization added.

The WFP said that international aid organisations were unable to access the besieged Strip and deliver aid for millions of Palestinians in Gaza.

The programme also reiterated its call for a ceasefire, stressing it was “long overdue”.

Israel launched a large-scale ground offensive in northern Gaza on Oct. 5, allegedly to prevent Hamas from regrouping. Palestinians, however, accuse Israel of aiming to occupy the area and forcibly displace its residents.

Since the Oct. 7, 2023, cross-border attack by Hamas, Israel has killed nearly 45,500 victims in Gaza, leaving the enclave in ruins.

Last month, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.

Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its war on the enclave.

Turkey Blast

As part of these counterterrorism efforts, “3,038 terrorists were neutralized, 1,330 caves/shelters were destroyed, and 2,450 weapons and more than 910,000 pieces of ammunition were seized,” the ministry said on social media.

It added that 107 terrorists surrendered during the course of the year.

The Turkish Armed Forces is continuing its operations with “unconventional, unpredictable, swift and continuous” execution principles, following a strategy to eliminate terrorism at its source, it noted.

Türkiye’s efforts to completely remove terrorism continue with “great determination,” the ministry stressed.

Turkish authorities use the term “neutralize” to imply the terrorists in question surrendered or were killed or captured.

In its 40-year terror campaign against Türkiye, the PKK — listed as a terrorist organization by Türkiye, the US, and EU — has been responsible for the deaths of over 40,000 people, including women, children, infants and the elderly. The YPG, which also uses the name PYD, is its Syrian offshoot.

Yemen’s Houthis say shot down 13th MQ-9 Reaper drone

US Drone

Yahya Saree said that the drone was shot down while it was carrying out missions in the Bayda governorate, an area located between the cities of Sanaa and Aden. He added that the drone was shot down using a “locally-made surface-to-air missile”.

According to the Houthis, this is the 13th drone that the group has shot down since the Israeli war on Gaza began last October.

With each drone costing approximately $31m, that would mean that the total cost of the downed drones is more than $400m.

US Central Command has yet to comment on the statement from the Houthis.

Since November 2023, the Houthis have launched nearly 100 attacks on ships in the Red Sea, actions they say are in solidarity with Palestinians suffering under Israel’s war on Gaza, which has killed more than 45,400 people and wounded at least 107,900 Palestinians.

The Houthis have said they will stop their attacks if Israel’s war on Gaza stops.

Iran’s health minister calls for  swift UN action to halt Israel’s attacks on Gaza medical centers

Kamal Adwan hospital

Zafarghandi made the plea in a letter to Secretary General of the United Nations António Guterres on Saturday following the Israeli regime’s raid on Kamal Adwan Hospital, which put the last major health facility in North Gaza out of service.

The Israeli military on Friday stormed Kamal Adwan Hospital, torching large sections and ordering hundreds of people to leave. The attacks continued on Saturday.

Gaza’s Ministry of Health said on Friday that contact had been lost with staff inside the hospital in Beit Lahiya, which has been under siege and heavy pressure from Israeli forces for weeks.

On Saturday, it announced that Israeli forces arrested Hussam Abu Safiya, the director of the hospital, and other staffers.

In his letter, the Iranian health minister condemned Israel’s savage raids on the hospital in recent days and also the regime’s airstrike on Sana’a International Airport at a time when Director General of the World Health Organization Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus and his entourage were waiting for a flight at the airport.

Zafarghandi said the attacks were a continuation of the Israeli regime’s blatant violence and an indication of its total disobedience to international rules and treaties.

He added the world has witnessed the Israeli regime’s frequent deadly attacks on medical facilities, healthcare personnel, and aid workers in Gaza in violation of all international regulations since it launched the war on the besieged Palestinian territory in October 2023.

However, international organizations and circles have failed to show an effective reaction so far, he emphasized.

The Iranian minister called on the UN chief to take a serious stance and make prompt and practical efforts to create convergence among international institutions in condemning the continuation of the occupying regime’s attacks.

The Israeli regime’s war of genocide in Gaza has so far claimed the lives of over 45,400 people, mostly women and children.
