BREAKING
Araghchi: Iran adopted a constructive approach in its engagement to ensure the European Union and the E3 fully honored their commitments and lifted all sanctions.
Araghchi: After a year of Iran’s full compliance with the agreement, it began implementing gradual, proportionate, and reversible compensatory steps in accordance with its recognized rights under the deal.
Araghchi: Iran demonstrated the utmost restraint in the face of repeated and fundamental violations and made extensive efforts to restore balance and preserve the agreement.
In his letter, Araghchi stated: The E3 failed to fulfill their obligations and instead imposed additional illegal sanctions on Iranian individuals and institutions.
Araghchi: These coercive measures constituted a grave violation of international law and the UN Charter, causing severe disruption in the implementation of the agreement.
Araghchi: Washington initially refrained from fulfilling its commitments, then withdrew from the agreement, reimposed its illegal and unilateral sanctions, and even expanded them.
Araghchi: UN Security Council Resolution 2231 has expired and fully ceased to be in effect as of today, in accordance with its explicit provisions.
Iranian Foreign Ministry: Reimposing sanctions on Iran is illegal

Insurance companies halt services for US, Israeli ships in Red Sea

The Israeli economic newspaper "Globes" reports an increase in the duration and cost of shipping on board Israeli and American ships after insurance companies have stopped providing services to them during their route via the Red Sea.

The Israeli economic newspaper "Globes" confirmed that insurance companies have suspended their services to Israeli and American ships crossing the Red Sea. This decision comes in light of the military operations conducted by the US in its attacks on Yemen, and Washington's move to offer support for Israeli and "Israel"-bound ships in the Red Sea.

The newspaper described the insurance companies' steps as crucial and exceptional, adding that stopping insurance would cost Israeli ships a longer sailing time, as it would leave them with two options.

The two options are:

1. Bypassing Africa via the Cape of Good Hope (southwest of South Africa), adding at least two weeks and more costs to the journey from the east.

2. Utilizing logistic ports in the Eastern Mediterranean, where goods would be unloaded and reloaded onto ships bound for "Israel".

Surge in insurance rate from 0.01% to 1%

The newspaper calculated that the Yemeni armed forces' operations resulted in a surge in the insurance rate for crossing the Red Sea, escalating from 0.01% of the value of goods on ships in early December to 1%.

In this context, the newspaper explained that "If a container ship carries around 12,000 TEU (Twenty-Foot Equivalent Unit) containers, the value of the goods is approximately 100 million dollars," emphasizing that the additional cost of securing transportation across the Red Sea amounts to one million dollars.

Sanaa expressed its commitment to safeguarding the security of navigation in the Red Sea for all vessels except Israeli and US ships or those heading to ports in occupied Palestine. This stance is contingent on the cessation of aggression on Gaza. Additionally, Sanaa has cautioned Washington against the militarization of the Red Sea, particularly following the announcement of the "maritime coalition" aimed at protecting "Israel".
