Ceasefire could impact Iran’s reaction to Israeli strikes: Pezeshkian
Iran’s president says a potential ceasefire between its allies and Israel “could affect the intensity” of Tehran’s response to Israel’s recent strikes on Iranian military sites.
“If they [the Israelis] reconsider their behaviour, accept a ceasefire, and stop massacring the oppressed and innocent people of the region, it could affect the intensity and type of our response,” Masoud Pezeshkian was quoted by state news agency IRNA as saying.
The Israeli military launched strikes last week on military bases in Iran, hitting about 20 sites over several hours in Ilam, Khuzestan and Tehran.
Yemen’s Houthis will keep blockade on Israeli vessels amid asset sale reports
Yemen’s Houthis say they’ll maintain their maritime blockade against Israeli vessels in response to “intelligence information” regarding Israeli shipping companies selling their assets to other firms.
Yahya Saree, the military spokesperson of the group, said in a televised address that the Houthis would not recognise any changes of ownership and warned against any collaboration with these companies.
The Houthis are an Iran-aligned group based in Yemen and have said their attacks are a response to Israel’s bombardment of Gaza, and the international community’s failure to put an end to it.
