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

The spokesperson for the Yemeni Armed Forces (YAF), Brigadier General Yahya Saree, announced Sunday that the YAF Navy targeted the American oil tanker TORM THOR in the Gulf of Aden with a number of anti-ship missiles.

In a televised statement, Saree added that the YAF also targeted several American warships in the Red Sea with several drones.

He stressed that these operations come in support of the Palestinian people, who are still facing an Israeli aggression and siege, and in response to the US and British aggression on Yemen.

Saree reiterated that the YAF's military operations will not cease until the Israeli aggression on Gaza stops and the blockade imposed on the Palestinian people in the Strip is lifted.

The spokesperson underlined that the YAF will confront the American-British escalation against Yemen with more top-tier operations in the Red and Arabian seas to defend the country, its people, and its nation.

It is noteworthy that the operations of the YAF against Israeli and Israeli-bound ships -- carried out in support of the people of Gaza until the Israeli aggression on the Strip ceases -- have forced some companies to take alternative routes including a two-week detour around the tip of southern Africa.

The YAF have also reiterated that they only chose clear and specific targets to hit the Israeli enemy until the American and British forces became involved in the aggression against Yemen, which turned them into targets as well, reiterating that no other countries are being targeted by the YAF.

Shortly after Saree's statement, the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) announced it received a report about an incident 70 nautical miles east of the port of Djibouti.

Earlier on Saturday, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported that the United States and the United Kingdom's militaries launched yet another aggression on Yemeni territories, targeting the Yemeni capital Sanaa.

The US-UK-launched strikes targeted the Nahdayn and Attan mountains to the south of the Yemeni capital, as well as military maintenance centers to the north of the capital.

Three airstrikes also targeted a factory next to the Technical Institute in Hay al-Nahda, resulting in a fire and damage to the factory.

Yemeni media also reported that the aggression targeted the al-Dailami air base, north of the capital, Sanaa.

Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported that the strikes coincided with heavy flights of American and British fighter jets and aircraft over the Yemeni capital.

Later, our correspondent confirmed that two strikes targeted farmland in the province of al-Jar in the western Aabs governorate, while five raids were launched on the provinces of Bani Hashish and Hadman in the Sanaa Governorate. In Taiz, strikes targeted telecommunication networks in Haifan and Muqbanah.

He also reported that 22 joint American-British aggression airstrikes targeted the Yemeni capital, Sanaa, and the provinces of Hajjah and Taiz.

Meanwhile, US and British forces carried out Saturday a fresh wave of strikes against 18 targets across eight locations in Yemen, a joint statement said.

It was co-signed by Australia, Bahrain, Denmark, Canada, the Netherlands and New Zealand, who gave unspecified "support" to the new round of strikes.

Sanaa Minister promises surprises if aggression on Gaza is not ended

The Minister of Information in the Sanaa government, Daifallah al-Shami, told Al Mayadeen that if the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip is not stopped, Sanaa will take "escalatory steps", promising "new surprises".

The Yemeni Minister reiterated that the continuation of the war on Gaza and the failure to lift the blockade on the Gaza Strip corresponds to the continuation of the Yemeni Armed Forces' operations in the Red Sea and the Arabian seas.

Furthermore, the Yemeni official explained that stopping the aggression on the Gaza Strip also means that Israeli forces halt all "airstrikes, assassination [attempts], and targeting," as well as ensuring the delivery of "aid to the Strip."

Al-Shami underlined that the United States military is "surprised and astonished" by the capabilities that the Yemeni Armed Forces possess.

"The Yemeni people are united today under a major cause, and the enemy fears the societal and popular convergence among the components of the Yemeni people," noting an attempt by "a group of mercenaries to fish in troubled waters and distort Sanaa's role in supporting Gaza."

He told Al Mayadeen that Yemenis witnessed major reconciliations among themselves, which occurred as a result of Sanaa's historic stance towards the Palestinian cause.
