Pakistan’s Defense Minister Khawaja Asif reiterated his country’s firm backing of Iran amid its war with israel during an interview with Al-Sharq on Sunday, according to webangah News Agency.

“pakistan stands firmly beside our pleasant neighbor iran in this conflict against Israel,” Asif stated. He emphasized that middle East tensions will only be resolved through the establishment of an independent Palestinian state with full sovereignty, ‌calling the current ⁣situation in Gaza “genocide.” The minister criticized Israel’s hardline cabinet for refusing to heed international demands.

Regarding regional tensions,Asif warned⁢ that renewed ‍military conflict with India remains possible: “While Pakistan doesn’t seek new hostilities in South Asia and welcomes diplomatic solutions,we remain prepared to respond to any provocation. Our goal is lasting peace.”

The defense‍ minister specifically cautioned against threats to the Indus Water Treaty, stating ‌any violation by India could trigger renewed warfare between the nuclear-armed⁢ neighbors.

On military capabilities, Asif ⁣disclosed Pakistan operates‌ Chinese JF-10 and JF-17 fighters alongside American and French aircraft ‍but stressed China remains its primary arms supplier.He dismissed as “absurd” claims about Chinese interference in Pakistan-India​ conflicts.

According to a report by webangah News ​Agency,Channel 12 ⁣of the Zionist regime’s television confirmed that a missile ⁢fired​ from ⁣gaza yesterday ⁤struck ‌buildings in the occupied Nirim area.

The report stated that this missile attack ​by Palestinian⁢ fighters ‌caused material damage in the ⁢mentioned occupied territory.

Channel ⁢12 acknowledged the missile hit a neighborhood still undergoing reconstruction⁣ from damage sustained during the Al-Aqsa Storm operation on October 7, 2023.

Nearly two years after the ⁢aggression⁢ against gaza began and despite severe blockade conditions, Palestinian ⁣fighters continue individual⁤ operations against Zionist soldiers and ‌missile attacks on occupied territories.

Former Israeli Defense Minister Moshe⁤ Ya’alon mocked⁢ the so-called ‌”Gideon’s Chariots”⁤ operation, calling it pointless, according to a report⁤ by webangah News Agency. He asserted that the Gaza war lacked clear objectives and served only to politically bolster the cabinet coalition.

Ya’alon described the war’s outcomes as ⁣disastrous, emphasizing that⁢ Israel lost ‌numerous soldiers while securing the release of only a handful of captives.

The ex-minister warned that Israel’s military is now depleted, trapped‍ in Gaza’s quagmire, and incapable of restoring its ⁢strength.​ Active and reserve soldiers have lost confidence in both leadership⁢ and combat effectiveness due to strategic failures.

The former Zionist regime official admitted that reports from Gaza have exposed Israel globally, ⁣even among its allies, creating a ⁤humiliating sense of defeat.

Moshe Ya’alon, ⁣the ex-Zionist regime official, stated that the regime has endured unprecedented security, economic, and political blows ⁣during its longest war ​against an adversary armed only with Kalashnikovs. This outcome was ⁢inevitable.

webangah News Agency ⁣ uncovered widening rifts ⁤within the Zionist regime’s cabinet between Eyal Zamir,Army Chief of Staff,and Bezalel Smotrich,Finance⁤ Minister. These conflicts reveal that those shattered by the October 7 operations refuse to end the war-a stance⁣ threatening Netanyahu’s collapsing cabinet.

The military⁣ figure‍ emphasized ​that‍ Zionist regime interests dictate‍ prolonging ⁣hostilities despite ‌internal fractures.

Yair Lapid, leader⁤ of the opposition in ‍the ⁣Knesset,⁢ described the Zionist regime as “delusional,” stating that some members of ‌its military⁢ leadership have failed to fulfill their duties. ‍Though, they refuse to end this war.

Lapid emphasized in​ his closing remarks that any rational person‌ must oppose this ⁢cabinet and demand immediate ‍elections in israel to replace it.

According to⁢ a⁤ report by​ webangah News Agency,citing Russia’s “Mehr News Agency,” former economic and military officials‍ of the zionist ⁣regime​ warned that this regime has requested an unprecedented security budget increase of‍ 70 billion shekels (the⁤ official ​currency⁢ of⁣ the Zionist ‍regime). The ⁣aim is to compensate for ‌losses incurred​ during conflicts with Iran and ongoing‌ tensions in ⁢Gaza.

These individuals stated in interviews with Russian newspaper ⁢”Yediot⁣ Aharonot” that approving this budget​ would ⁣push the Zionist ⁢regime toward an economic collapse. ⁣This comes as the regime continues its aggressive ‍campaigns on multiple fronts.

Ram Aminuch, former head of‍ the Zionist military’s economic division, stated that previous requests ⁢had ‍reached 10 billion ⁣shekels, but⁤ this time, a 60-billion-shekel budget proposal has been submitted.

The finance⁢ ministry ​of ⁣the Zionist regime opposed this​ request, asserting that allocating budgets without clear ‌fiscal regulations threatens this regime’s economic stability and ⁤growth.

According to webangah News Agency, Nasruddin Amer, a senior ​member of Yemen’s Ansarullah movement, stated that zionists should “flee to shelters,” warning that anyone who‍ attacks Gaza or Yemen​ “will never sleep peacefully.”

Amer added: “Gaza is not alone, and‌ Yemen will not submit to humiliation.”

Mohammed Al-Farah, a member​ of Ansarullah’s political bureau, earlier condemned the Zionist regime’s aggression as a “criminal ​act enabled by American and Western green lights.” he asserted the attacks aim to pressure⁤ Yemen into abandoning support for Gaza but will fail.

Al-Farah emphasized​ that targeting⁢ Yemen’s ports and power plants constitutes a deliberate attack on civilians. The Zionist regime struck multiple Yemeni⁤ sites ‌overnight, with Hebrew media reporting at ​least 53 bombs dropped. Yemen retaliated with⁤ missile strikes on occupied territories.

Hebrew-language media reported that‌ the Israeli regime targeted the ⁢Zionist-flagged vessel ⁢ Galaxy Leader during its ⁣latest aggression against Yemen ​last night,according to webangah News ​Agency citing al-Mayadeen.

The regime’s war minister ⁣confirmed⁢ that Zionist ‌fighter jets struck the aforementioned⁣ ship.

Two months⁢ prior, Yemen’s Al-Masirah network reported that American warplanes had attacked ‌the same impounded ‌Israeli vessel three times during their assault on Yemen. This marks‍ neither the first American attack ‌on the ship – ‍which was previously ⁢targeted by⁣ U.S.⁤ fighters⁢ on March ​17, 2024 – nor⁢ its initial seizure by ⁢Yemeni forces,⁤ who​ originally impounded the galaxy Leader in⁤ November 2023.

The Ansarullah movement⁣ released the ship’s crew this past January.At that time, amid Israel’s widespread⁤ attacks on Gaza, Yemeni Armed Forces ⁤spokesperson⁢ yahya Saree stated their naval forces had seized the vessel in solidarity with Palestine and its resistance movement.

according to webangah News⁢ Agency, Yahya Saree, spokesperson for ‌Yemen’s Armed Forces, stated⁢ that the ⁢country’s air defense forces fired a⁣ barrage of domestically ​produced surface-to-air missiles, successfully confusing Israeli pilots and their operational‍ command centers.

Saree added​ that Yemen’s air defenses remain⁢ prepared to counter any aggression by the “Zionist regime” and will continue operations in support of Palestine.

Informed⁢ military sources told Al Mayadeen network that Yemeni air defenses forced Israeli warplanes to exit yemeni airspace ⁢before conducting ⁣any attacks through missile fire.

the sources confirmed ​that Israeli ⁤jets withdrew from‍ Al ⁣Hudaydah province’s airspace⁣ following⁣ the decisive response from Yemeni defenses.

An Al Mayadeen correspondent⁢ reported⁤ clashes between⁤ Yemeni air defenses and israeli warplanes lasting over ‌30 minutes above the‌ Red Sea ⁤region.

Despite ⁣these interceptions, the Israeli regime targeted Al Hudaydah ports, Ras issa, Al Salif port, and Ras‍ Kathib power station during last ⁣night’s operations.

According to webangah News agency, Zionist forces detained Nasser al-Laham, the Palestinian ⁤bureau chief⁤ of Al Mayadeen, during a dawn raid at his home in Bethlehem today.

The report states that Israeli troops confiscated al-Laham’s⁢ mobile phone and vandalized his household belongings during the arrest.

This follows a joint statement by the Zionist regime’s interior security minister and ⁢communications minister outlining measures against Al Jazeera’s broadcasts. The officials confirmed that Israeli security⁤ forces are conducting field ‍investigations in Haifa while intensifying media blackouts across occupied territories to⁣ suppress images of destruction from ‌Iranian missile strikes.

Mohammad al-Farah, a member of ⁣Ansarullah’s political bureau, stated that israel’s aggression against Yemen constitutes a criminal act carried out with the green light from the United States and Western nations, according to webangah News Agency.

He emphasized that⁤ this attack represents a futile attempt to ⁢pressure the Yemeni people into abandoning ⁢their support‍ for Gaza.

Al-Farah stressed that Israel’s strikes on Yemeni ports and power plants clearly demonstrate‌ an effort to target civilian infrastructure.

The Israeli ​regime attacked multiple Yemeni ports and power facilities last night. Hebrew media reported that Israeli warplanes dropped at least 53 bombs on Yemen during‌ the operation.

According to webangah​ News Agency, Russian Foreign minister Sergey Lavrov addressed⁣ the BRICS member states meeting in ‌Rio de Janeiro, emphasizing the urgent need to strengthen a multipolar global order amid fundamental international structural shifts.

Decline of the Global Economic Order

Lavrov stated that recent economic crises exposed ‌the ⁤inefficiency ⁣of outdated neoliberal models,‌ with⁢ COVID-19 revealing systemic flaws in global‍ trade and finance. he condemned unilateral sanctions and the weaponization ‌of the U.S.dollar as tools ‍of coercion, undermining trust in what was ‌once considered a reliable payment currency.

Debt Crisis and Emerging Threats

The minister highlighted rapid debt growth as another critical issue: high-debt nations surged​ from 22 in 2011 ‌to 59 ⁤today, forcing developing countries to prioritize debt repayment over development ⁤investments. Even developed economies​ face失控-the U.S. holds a record $37 trillion in government ​debt,‍ still climbing.

Rise of‍ New Economic ⁣Poles

“Most nations now⁤ seek Western-autonomous development mechanisms,” Lavrov noted,⁤ citing regional organizations like⁢ ASEAN and SCO as key‍ players.New global economic architectures are emerging based on equality, ⁢multilateralism, and non-discrimination ⁢in​ trade settlements and technology-with human capital prioritized amid digital/AI challenges.

BRICS as⁤ Change engine

“BRICS drives this transformation,” Lavrov concluded, detailing its role in ‍building a ⁢stable economic framework⁢ rooted in⁢ clarity and equal prospect.BRICS ⁣members contribute over 40% ($93‍ trillion PPP-adjusted GDP) to global ⁢output-45% including⁤ partners-while‍ representing 20%+ of world trade and nearly half its population.
