    ❗️From Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian's speech at the UN General Assembly:• “Either we will build security together, or we will endure insecurity together.”• “We do not ask permission from anyone to defend our country.”• “We cannot speak of peace while ignoring Palestine. Lasting peace in West Asia will not last without justice for Palestine.”• “Iran has learned one truth clearly in its long history: the world without power is dangerous, but a world that only understands the language of power will not have sustainable security.”• “The nuclear bomb is in Israel, but the inspectors are in Iran. Israel kills, but Iran is sanctioned. This is a tragedy; if you tell this to anyone, they will laugh. It kills, and we are sanctioned.”• “Let [Trump] know that threats make our nation more united and stronger, and increase the resistance of Iranians. They must know that the nation of Iran will not bow its head before force, and it will make the aggressors regret it. This is what Trump and those who want to bully must understand.”• “We are ready for dialogue, but let them know that we will not accept the language of force.”

We will,” Rubio told Fox News, describing the situation as “a very dangerous and complicated conflict.”The remarks come after Ansarallah launched missile and drone attacks targeting Saudi Arabia.Saudi Arabia has responded with airstrikes in Yemen that killed over 100 people in two days as Ansarallah advances along the Red Sea coast toward the Bab al-Mandeb Strait. The escalation has prompted Riyadh to seek additional military assistance from several allies, according to AP.

    ❗️Iranian sources reject reports Tehran offered to reopen Strait of Hormuz within seven daysIranian sources have rejected reports that Tehran is prepared to reopen the Strait of Hormuz within seven days if Washington reduces military pressure and lifts its blockade of Iranian ports.The denial, as reported by Fars News Agency, directly contradicts reports from Reuters and Japan’s Kyodo News citing an unnamed senior Iranian official.Fars said the reports were inaccurate and baseless, while noting that they were accompanied by a decline in oil prices.The sources warned, “In such circumstances, Iranian officials must be vigilant and careful about the consequences of publishing these narratives and their impact on the oil market.”
