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

    100 vanguard jihadists will begin their hunger strike and then refrain from water after one week.

On Wednesday, the Palestinian Prisoners Club announced that the prisoners of the Islamic Jihad movement, about 400, have started a mass hunger strike.

In a statement, the Prisoners Club confirmed that the strike comes in protest of the occupation prison authority's punitive and abusive measures imposed on prisoners after 6 Palestinian prisoners liberated themselves from Gilboa prison last month.

The club added that the occupation forces targeted, through the current measures, the organizational structure of the Islamic Jihad, which is one of the most important achievements of the historical prisoners' movement.

The statement stressed that the hunger strike is part of “the resistance program announced recently by the prisoners’ National Emergency Committee, which was based mainly on rebellion and rejection of prison administration laws.”

In this context, the Supreme Command Council for the prisoners of the Islamic Jihad movement in the Israeli occupation prisons announced on Wednesday a general mobilization.

The movement indicated that the hunger strike comes in light of the escalation of the punitive attacks on the prisoners' movement, especially after continuous rebellious acts for more than 40 days.

The statement warned that the strike will include for the first time refraining from water, subsidies, and medical examinations.

In detail, 100 vanguard jihadists will begin their hunger strike and then refrain from drinking water after one week.

Prisoners from Fatah, Hamas, and the Popular and Democratic Front will participate in the strike, indicated the statement.

There are about 4,600 Palestinian prisoners in Israeli occupation jails, 35 of which are women and 200 are children.
