WATCH | "People are being kicked out, why? Just because we are the people of the South? The South that brought glory and dignity for this country?"

Tens of thousands of Lebanese citizens have been forcibly displaced from southern Lebanon and the country’s east amid intensified Israeli attacks targeting residential areas across their villages.

As families seek shelter many residents from the south are also reporting discrimination and mounting obstacles when trying to secure housing in other regions, facing reluctance from landlords and social tensions that compound their displacement crisis.

❗️ Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Esmail Baghaei:

"We warned that the war would be regional.

It was previously emphasized that if a war occurs against Iran, it will be regional. We warned responsibly, and our martyred commander-in-chief warned that this war will become a regional war.

This is because the region is being used for military attacks, not because Iran wishes to make the region insecure. Making the region insecure is a Zionist regime project, and unfortunately, the United States was also dragged into this project.

The targets that our armed forces are striking are military targets. They are locations where American military bases are situated.

The fact that in some cases they move their logistics and equipment from one base to another is a military matter. In this murky situation, the Zionist regime will certainly seek to exploit and expand the scope of the fire and create sabotage in the countries of the region to turn the war, which is a war of the Zionist regime and the US against Iran, into a regional war.

I am certain and hopeful that the countries of the region will not allow these evils to bear fruit. They must be cautious that in the holy month of Ramadan, the war that this regime is conducting, in continuation of the massacres it carried out in occupied Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, and Yemen, does not drag others along with it.

Lies and deception have become the pattern of American diplomacy.

The issue is clear, except for those who deliberately do not want to see the truth and whose goal is to distort reality.

We did not have enrichment, even though we emphasized that enrichment is part of our right. We are a member of the NPT; despite this, since the time they attacked our nuclear facilities and said themselves that they completely destroyed and demolished them.

So how does Witkoff say a week ago that Iran has one week to produce the necessary materials to build a nuclear bomb?

Lie after lie and deception after deception; this has become the pattern of American diplomacy in this era.

We did not start this war, and this military aggression was not our choice; our choice was diplomacy.

Many, based on previous experience, said that there should be no negotiations. However, the diplomatic apparatus decided with courage, and we tried until the last moment not to enter such a process, but the other side chose war.

The way to stop the war is to stop the aggressor. The Security Council has a duty, and if it wants to, it can take action.

The international community must decide to fulfill its duties before the war expands to other places. Action must be taken by forcing the aggressive parties to stop the aggression."

❗️US aircraft leave Spain as government refuses to allow bases to be used to attack Iran

At least seven US military aircraft were tracked by Flightradar24 landing at Ramstein Air Base, while multiple aerial refueling tankers departed Spain after Madrid made clear its territory would not be used in the US-Israel assault on Iran, according to a report by Reuters.

Nine tankers were shown leaving Morón Air Base in southern Spain toward Germany, with additional flights departing from Rota Naval Base.

Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez has condemned the US–Israeli attacks on Iran and reinforced Spain’s refusal to facilitate the campaign of aggression. Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Albares was explicit in remarks to Telecinco: "Spanish bases are not being used for this operation, and they will not be used for anything not included in the agreement with the United States or for anything that is not in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations."

Defense Minister Margarita Robles stated that the aircraft, primarily Boeing KC-135 Stratotankers, are permanently stationed in Spain, even as their departure signaled Madrid’s refusal to be drawn directly into the expanding confrontation.

❗️Statement by the Quds Force of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC):

“The criminal US government and the Zionist regime, by violating international laws and trampling on human ethics, attacked the Islamic Republic of Iran and martyred the indefatigable Mujahid, the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Imam Khamenei, and a number of prominent commanders and oppressed people of Islamic Iran.

Today, the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Resistance Front are a powerful and noble tree that such threats and damage will not shake, but will make stronger.

On behalf of the commanders and fighters of the Resistance Front, we declare that we remain committed to our covenant with you. Today, when the enemy has crossed all red lines of humanity and international law, we consider it our duty to continue fighting against global arrogance and international Zionism with all our might. We will keep the gates of fire open to them until the enemy is defeated.

The enemy should know that their good days are over, and they will no longer have security anywhere in the world, even in their own homes. We announce to the Islamic nation and freedom seekers around the world that we will not stop fighting until the destruction of global arrogance and international Zionism, and we will take revenge for the oppressed and martyrs from the oppressors and arrogant powers, God willing.”
