Iran Missile

The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry said it warned the Iranian diplomat about the consequences of the purported supply of missiles.

Both Iran and Russia deny the claims.

The Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kanaani on Monday said Iran is not involved in the Ukraine war, adding that it’s the US and other Western governments that are fueling the conflict by sending arms to one warring side.

Kanaani said Iran has never been a party to the conflict in Ukraine, adding Tehran supports any political solution to the Ukraine war.

Kremlin

The Journal cited unidentified U.S. and European officials as saying that Iran had sent short-range ballistic missiles to Russia.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated that he had seen the report but that not all such reports were correct.

“Iran is our important partner, we are developing our trade and economic relations, we are developing our cooperation and dialogue in all possible areas, including the most sensitive ones,” Peskov told reporters.

Reports of Iran transferring missiles to Russia are “psychological warfare”, senior Iranian commander Fazlollah Nozari stressed on Monday, according to state media.

On Friday, Iran’s Permanent Mission to the United Nations in New York dismissed reports claiming that Tehran had transferred ballistic missiles to Moscow.

“Iran’s position vis-à-vis the Ukraine conflict remains unchanged. Iran considers the provision of military assistance to the parties engaged in the conflict—which leads to increased human casualties, destruction of infrastructure, and a distancing from ceasefire negotiations—to be inhumane,” the mission announced in a statement.

Armenia Azerbaijan

“Armenia has handed over to Azerbaijan the tenth edition of the draft peace treaty. This draft includes the entire agreed text, completely agreed articles or agreed parts of articles,” he said.

According to the top Armenian diplomat, Armenia and Azerbaijan have all the chances to sign a peace treaty soon. “We believe that there is a real opportunity to sign a peace agreement soon and open up a new page of lasting stability in the South Caucasus,” he stressed.

However, in his words, this agreement will not be able to resolve all the problems with Baku. “We will have to address other problems later if the sides agree to do so,” he added.

The senior Armenian diplomat also hailed the active political dialogue and the solid basis for cooperation between Armenia and the European Union countries, the ministry added.

Armenia and Azerbaijan have engaged in a series of bloody confrontations since both republics declared independence from the Soviet Union in 1991. The two countries fought a war over the self-proclaimed republic of Nagorno-Karabakh in 2020, and Azerbaijani forces clashed with the province’s separatist forces in 2023. The conflict ended with the dissolution of Nagorno-Karabakh’s government and the return of the province to Azerbaijani control.

Although situated inside Azerbaijani territory, Nagorno-Karabakh was governed by ethnic Armenian separatists until last year. Before the fall of the USSR, the province had ruled itself as an autonomous region within the Azerbaijan SSR.

Nasser Kanaani

During his weekly presser on Monday, Nasser Kanaani said Iran was the only party to the JCPOA which fully abode by its nuclear commitments.

In reply to a question about perceived signs on part of the other sides for the revival of the JCPOA, the spokesperson stated Iran’s take is clear, it was a collective agreement, this issue is up to their fulfilling their obligations responsibly.

The Iranian diplomat added Tehran has taken into account negotiations as a way of realizing its national interests. The JCPOA was a successful example in solving a complicated problem. But the US and the European parties to the deal did not let the diplomatic path bear fruit.

The Iranian foreign ministry spokesman pointed out chances remain for the resuscitation of the Iran nuclear deal and the path to the deal could be open.

“We are aware of the credible information provided by allies on the delivery of Iranian ballistic missiles to Russia,” EU spokesman Peter Stano stated on Monday.

On Friday, Iran’s Permanent Mission to the United Nations in New York dismissed reports claiming that Tehran had transferred ballistic missiles to Moscow.

“Iran’s position vis-à-vis the Ukraine conflict remains unchanged. Iran considers the provision of military assistance to the parties engaged in the conflict—which leads to increased human casualties, destruction of infrastructure, and a distancing from ceasefire negotiations—to be inhumane,” the mission announced in a statement.

Iran vice president slammed for saying subsidized gasoline price ‘unreasonable’

The reformist Ham-Mihan daily, in a scathing article on Monday, although did not question Aref’s argument, asked him to put the issue in a wider context of ‘unreasonable’ decisions that have been made in the society to find the priorities.

Ham-Mihan wrote, in a society where the price of domestically-produced products are sold at staggering prices that are not affordable for wage earners, speaking about ‘unreasonable’ might cause social anger.

“Speaking about ‘unreasonable’ by government officials, in this situation, instead of paving a way to move forward, is considered a form of unjustified sarcasm, whose consequences will be serious,” the daily warned.

The daily noted that a large number of unresolved issues, including filtering the internet, continue to plague the society, which it claimed are way more important than the price of gas at the pumps.

Aref made the remarks in the induction ceremony of the new Iranian oil minister, criticizing the daily gasoline imbalance in the country where refineries produce 110 million liters of gasoline per day while the daily consumption is 140 million liters.

Iranians pay $0.05 for a liter of gasoline in gas stations across the country, which is much lower than the neighboring countries.

However, there are concerns that removing the heavy subsidy and raising the prices will have inflationary impacts.

Iran rejects Israeli claims of targeting Tehran-related base in Syria

Kanaaani told reporters on Monday, as confirmed by the Syrian government, a center related to the country’s army and Defense Ministry has been targeted during the attack.

At least 16 people were killed and dozens more injured in the Israeli missile attacks on an area near the Syrian city of Masyaf in the central province of Hama on Sunday night.

Kanaaani warned that the Israeli regime has opened new windows of fire against itself by insisting on excessive demands regarding the Gaza ceasefire and continued attacks on the enclave, Lebanon and Syria.

The spokesperson pointed out such crazy behavior will have no achievements for the Zionists and their supporters.

He added that the Israeli regime’s attacks on neighboring states prove the regime’s crimes are not limited to Palestine, showing it knows no boundaries in committing atrocities while seeking the spillover of the war.

He said the Islamic Republic of Iran has a moral, humane and legal responsibility to defend Palestine.

Palestinian ministry says over 600k students in Gaza denied education

Gaza War

The Palestinian Education Ministry has taken a swipe at Israeli military forces deployed in the Gaza Strip after they published a photograph on social media showing the troops sitting behind desks in one of the only schools left undamaged in the besieged coastal sliver.

“What little left of Gaza’s schools; that is, the ones the Israeli occupation hasn’t already destroyed, are now the content of mockery for its soldiers,” the ministry said in a post on X on Sunday.

“How can anyone enjoy depriving children of their fundamental right to education?” it added.

This comes as Israeli soldiers have no reservation for mocking Palestinians during their offensives on Gaza, frequently posting their photographs and videos to social media.

Earlier this year, a video showing Israeli soldiers documenting the extensive destruction in Gaza while playing a mocking song in the background sparked a backlash on social media.

The video, widely shared on March 14, showcased the widespread destruction in a Gaza neighborhood, featuring flames, fire, and collapsed buildings, accompanied by background music with lyrics containing haunting phrases.

Many users condemned the Israeli soldiers’ actions as “inhumane” and “cowardly,” while others urged international intervention.

According to Palestine’s Education Ministry, more than 630,000 students have been denied their right to education in Gaza and will not be returning to school, as the ongoing Israeli genocidal war on the territory disrupts schooling for a second year.

The ministry noted that 58,000 students were supposed to join the first grade and start school on Monday, but they couldn’t as a result of the Israeli bombardment campaign.

At least 39,000 students were unable to take their high school exams, it said, adding that more than 25,000 children, including over 10,000 students, have been killed or wounded in Israeli attacks.

The Palestinian Education Ministry further highlighted that some 90 percent of 307 public school buildings have been destroyed.

Out of Gaza’s 2.2 million population, approximately 700,000 children and young people were enrolled in schools and universities in 2023.

As part of its educational response in Gaza, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) launched the Back to Learning program on August 1.

The first phase included psychosocial support activities, focusing on arts, music and sports, and raising awareness of the risks posed by explosive ordnance.

In the second phase, the focus has shifted to informal learning activities, which include lessons in reading, writing and mathematics.

IRGC chief says Israel to taste bitterness of Iran’s revenge for its “vicious acts”

Hossein Salami

Major General Salami said on Sunday that Zionists cannot escape the retaliation and “they will see when, where and how it will occur.”

He added that the revenge would take place differently.

The remarks are in an apparent reference to Iran’s repeated pledge to retaliate against the Israeli assassination of Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran in late July.

Salami stressed that “Israel and its allies should not think that they will hit and run away, but they should know that they will be hit and cannot run away”.

Pointing out the power and greatness of the Iranian nation, Salami said: “We are sure we will finish this story by the grace of God.”

The IRGC chief commander also pointed to mass protests against Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu over his failure to secure the release of captives held in Gaza.

Salami stated that Israelis are unable to continue their current political existence.

“Muslims surround the usurping Zionist regime in the usurped strip and the nightmare of Iran’s decisive action shakes the regime day and night,” he added.

“They cannot continue their political life and we see the visible signs of the end of their political life. Their officials are out of mental balance, they are disturbed and they demonstrate against their regime at night in the occupied capital.”

He noted that the war has been spread to the occupied territories.

Following the assassination of Haniyeh, Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei pledged that the Islamic Republic would deliver a “harsh response” to the atrocity.

Haniyeh, the head of the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas’ Political Bureau, was assassinated alongside one of his bodyguards in the Iranian capital Tehran on July 31, a day after he attended the swearing-in ceremony of Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian.

Behzad Khosravi, from the Iranian city of Saqqez, was arrested last week and sent to Iran, the sources told Tehran-based Tasnim news agency.

Khosravi, 35, is reportedly in custody in Iran’s intelligence detention center in Sanandaj, the provincial capital of Kordestan Province.

PDKI, an armed leftist separatist movement of Kurds which calls for either separatism in Iran or a federal system, is banned in Iran and has moved to northern Iraq.

Last year, Iran and Iraq reached an agreement to disarm and expel Kurdish terrorist groups from the semi-autonomous Kurdistan region in northern Iraq.

Iran has even warned it is ready to take action to eliminate the threat posed by anti-Iran terrorist groups based in Iraq’s Kurdistan region.
