Yemen exposes Saudis crimes against its own people

🔹Yemen's Foreign Ministry in Sanaa stated that the Saudi regime deliberately conducts missile and drone interceptions over densely populated areas to cause maximum casualties.

🔹"The one targeting civilians is the criminal Saudi regime. The casualties it speaks of are actually the result of its own defense systems' interceptions," the ministry said.

🔹It stressed that Yemen's Armed Forces have proven over 12 years they never target civilians or residential areas—only military positions and oil facilities that finance the Saudi regime's criminal military operations.

Lying to its people, denying its crimes

Seven months into the Iran war, investigations reveal a widening gap between Washington's narrative and reality. The UN found "reasonable grounds" that the US committed war crimes in Minab and Lamerd. US military deaths exceed Pentagon figures, damage to US bases was concealed, and costs have reached $43.6 billion. Senators demand transparency, but the administration disputes the findings.

From My Lai to Minab: A question every American should ask themselves

The writer draws a parallel with My Lai—initially covered up, later exposed—and notes a New Yorker investigation found ~800 US war crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan, with few convictions. The problem, he argues, is structural, not just Trump.

Ghalibaf: No talks with US until Iran's terms met, Hormuz won't reopen

🔹Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf declared that there will be no return to previous negotiations, and the Strait of Hormuz will not reopen, until Iran's conditions are met and US commitments are implemented.

🔹Speaking ahead of Sacred Defence Week, he said Iran is repeating its historical experience of resistance—"with the difference that this time it will shape a new order in the region and the world."

🔹"The duality of war or negotiation is not real. We must both fight and negotiate—fight powerfully and negotiate with authority when the enemy is weak," he said, describing this as the path to deterrence.

🔹He stressed that Iran's conditions have been conveyed frankly through mediators: "The enemy knows the path of deception and one-sided imposition is closed."

🔹"Today the old American order in West Asia has collapsed, and it is the Islamic countries of the region that must implement a new order."
