    Israeli Drones Fly Over Dahieh as Lebanese Army Issues Threatening Statement

    Israeli⁢ drones flew over Beirut’s southern suburbs as the Lebanese Army ⁣warned it would ⁣suspend cooperation with the​ ceasefire monitoring committee⁢ if Tel Aviv’s violations continue.

    According to webangah News Agency, ‌Lebanese sources reported that three people were wounded in ​an Israeli airstrike on Nabatieh.

    The‍ Emergency Operations Center under Lebanon’s Health Ministry stated that three Lebanese citizens were injured in yesterday’s Israeli airstrike on Ain Qana village in Nabatieh.

    Together, Lebanese sources confirmed ⁣Israeli drone flights over ⁣Beirut’s southern suburbs (Dahiyeh).

    The Lebanese Army Command condemned Israel’s attacks and violations, notably last night’s ‍strikes on Ain Qana and southern Beirut suburbs, ​calling ⁤them a clear attempt by‍ Israel ⁣to undermine stability ​in ⁢Lebanon and exploit positive developments.

    The army stated: “Our forces promptly ‌coordinated with the Ceasefire Monitoring Committee upon ‍detecting ⁢Israeli ​threats to prevent an ⁢attack.Despite⁣ enemy objections, our patrols deployed to multiple positions for reconnaissance.”

    While ‍reaffirming commitment to UN Resolution 1701 and the cessation of hostilities ⁢agreement, the army warned: “Israel’s continued violations‌ and refusal to‌ coordinate with the⁣ monitoring committee weaken both the committee’s role and our military institution.‌ This coudl force‍ us to suspend cooperation with the ‘Mechanism’ regarding reconnaissance operations.”

    The statement emphasized: “Israel has escalated attacks ‌against Lebanon recently, targeting civilians, residential buildings, and infrastructure​ across multiple‍ regions-including last night’s assaults on southern Beirut suburbs and south Lebanon-while continuing its ‍occupation of Lebanese territory. These​ daily breaches‍ show complete disregard for ceasefire mechanisms.”

    The ‌army vowed: “Despite these‌ challenges, we remain determined to fulfill our ⁢complex mission of extending state authority over all Lebanese ⁣territory and​ ensuring citizen⁣ security.”

    Overnight,after‍ issuing urgent warnings to residents of Dahiyeh and Ain qana,Israeli‌ forces instructed civilians to‍ evacuate ⁣eight buildings in Hadiyeh (El-Hadath),Harat⁤ Hreik (Haret Hreik),burj El-Barajneh (Borj El Barajne),plus two structures in Ain Qana.

    Within hours following these alerts:

    • At least ⁤ten warning explosions rocked Dahiyeh before Israeli jets conducted over 20 precision strikes on designated targets;
    • Ain Qana ​village was hit three times⁤ by separate ⁤attacks.

    US Pushes to Prolong Syria Presence; Counterterrorism Claims Dismissed as Pretext

    An American magazine has questioned U.S.policy in Syria, stating that despite the shift in Syria’s governance, Washington has‍ no intention⁤ of ‌ending its military presence in the country.

    According to a report by ‍ webangah News Agency,citing ⁤The Intercept,the U.S. magazine‌ published an article‍ asserting that America does not plan‌ to withdraw its troops ⁢from Syria even as political control shifts within ​the nation.

    The Pentagon confirmed that Washington’s ⁤new⁣ policy toward ⁣Damascus does not⁣ include ending its⁣ occupation⁤ of Syrian territory.‌ Currently, approximately 1,000⁣ U.S. troops remain stationed in Syria.

    The U.S. military has‍ operated in Syria⁣ for years as ⁢part of its complex⁤ and ofen⁢ confusing regional strategy. Late last ‌year,‌ Bashar al-Assad’s government was overthrown following a swift offensive by rebel forces led by Abu Mohammad al-Julani. Recent reports indicate that the U.S. ⁤is closing three of its eight small military bases in Syria.

    Experts argue‍ that while the withdrawal from a handful of ⁣bases has been delayed for some time,it remains essential for ⁤any meaningful shift in America’s regional strategy​ and policy.

    “Over 1,000 American troops remain stuck in Syria with ⁢no clear mission or timeline⁢ for their return,” said Rosemary Kalinik, Middle‌ East ‍program director at Defense⁣ Priorities.​ “These forces are ​remnants of the war‌ against ISIS-but ISIS was defeated over five ⁤years ago and lost all its territory. It’s time for these soldiers to come home.”

    When asked whether the U.S. intends to withdraw from Syria entirely, a Pentagon spokesperson⁢ stated last April: “The American ⁣presence⁤ will decrease to‍ fewer than 1,000 troops but will not end completely.”

    “Fear of an ISIS resurgence has long been ​used as justification,” Kalinik added, “but recent history in ​Afghanistan proves such claims false-America doesn’t need ground ⁣forces to counter any potential reemergence.”

    In her interview with The intercept, she noted: “The ⁣primary argument for staying‍ in Afghanistan was ⁤preventing terrorism⁤ from groups like al-Qaeda or ISIS-yet these groups ‍never directly targeted americans there.”

    “Keeping troops in ⁢Syria exposes them to retaliatory attacks,” ‍Kalinik concluded. “It’s almost like handing hostages over⁢ to America’s enemies-ready targets whenever they choose.”

The remarks ⁤were reported by webangah News Agency.

    Wale Oke, Chairman of Nigeria’s House of Representatives Committee on Foreign Affairs, stressed the ‌importance of deepening economic collaboration among BRICS nations during the forum held in Brazil.⁣ He described such cooperation as vital for sustaining economic stability in developing countries.

    “Strengthening intra-group trade is no longer‍ optional-it is indeed an ⁢unavoidable necessity,” oke stated. “We ‍must intensify trade and investment with one another while building a commercial ecosystem that prioritizes our people.”

    Khazirian: We Will Fully Support Reforms in Football Federation If There’s Genuine Will for Change

    A member of the parliamentary sports faction stated: “If there is genuine resolve to reform within the Football Federation, we will fully support it. We⁤ believe those in charge are principled and fair individuals.”

    According to webangah News Agency, Ali Khazirian, a Tehran MP representing Ray, Shemiranat, Eslamshahr, and Pardis, emphasized the ⁢necessity of combating injustice and​ corruption in all forms. He ‍stated: “Wherever corruption ‍exists, certain parties benefit from it.These beneficiaries will resist reforms with all their might-resorting to any means necessary-to protect⁣ their interests. However, for supporters of the⁣ Islamic ‍Revolution’s discourse, fighting ⁤corruption is a essential duty. Wherever corruption is detected, we will not hesitate to⁢ confront it.”

    Khazirian added: “During my tenure as a parliamentarian, I’ve consistently opposed this ‘seven-headed ‌dragon’ of corruption within my capacity-whether in cases involving improper hotel transfers by the Mostazafan Foundation ⁤or violations at Shasta Holding Company ⁤customs offices pharmaceutical organizations mining sectors tourism banking loans among others Now with football’s high financial turnover and reported irregularities we’ll intervene decisively football requires ‌technical expertise but Parliament ​oversees processes Any proven misconduct‍ must be corrected Voters ⁤expect us to⁤ ensure fair opportunities for their children’s advancement”

    The sports faction member noted:‍ “Parliament’s stance is clear-address systemic issues Where ordinary workers earn modest salaries ​agents allegedly siphon billions from players through manipulation growing bolder by the day”

    Khazirian continued: “I represent players who report being overlooked for refusing payoffs to agents/coaches My‍ duty is pursuing these cases Why should talented athletes who trained relentlessly since youth miss top teams over‌ agent politics? Processes ‌must be clean ⁣Our goal is ensuring integrity⁢ Agent dominance has replaced meritocracy While football should remain pure troubling ‍reports persist The Federation hasn’t effectively countered notorious agents When it can’t even ⁢regulate league ‌refereeing how can we expect agent‍ reform?”

    The Article 90 Commission member revealed: “Post-interview feedback shows many youths had careers derailed⁤ refusing mafia-like agent demands This system must end‌ The Federation must clarify its cleanup plan ​Some agents ruin talents through ethical/economic traps We cannot allow more victims”

    The Tehran ‍MP exposed concerning ‍patterns: “Instead of developing talent certain coaches ​pressure players into real estate/aviation investments Suddenly their PR‍ manager becomes an airline executive Why should airline CEOs attend national team‌ camps ‌promoting investments? Recently training was rescheduled from 11:30 AM to‍ 5 PM so staff could attend a prominent investor’s father’s memorial Should national‌ team preparations stall for private mournings? Security agencies must monitor these suspicious economic ties Current oversight fails miserably”

    Khazirian criticized selection biases: “When committed top-performing players get sidelined while injured ones recieve call-ups-helping secure ‍lucrative domestic contracts-financial interests override national ⁤priorities This economic focus explains worsening match results that disappoint fans nationwide”

    He questioned roster decisions: ‌”Examine right-back selections for recent matches ​Check their agents’⁢ identities Is one position monopolized? Injured players get called over superior league ​performers One ⁤right-back got repositioned forward to accommodate an⁢ agent’s clients Like positions belong to specific brokers”

    The MP demanded clarity regarding ​Team Melli staffers Allahoui and Gholikhani’s ties to agent Saadati and ⁢a sports outlet whose editor⁣ faced corruption charges last year noting during recent mini-camps Saadati-represented players ​secured high-value club contracts post-call-up suggesting engineered‍ promotions An​ injured player retained his‍ invitation likely because no ​club had‌ finalized signing him yet otherwise he might ‌have missed​ Doha camp​ entirely
