According to⁢ webangah ⁢News ‌Agency, citing India Today, New⁣ Delhi⁢ has dismissed the Pakistani military’s official statement‌ following a⁣ deadly suicide attack on an army convoy⁤ in⁣ North Waziristan that accused india of​ involvement.

India’s ⁢Ministry of External Affairs stated: “We have seen an official statement from‌ the Pakistan Army attempting‌ to blame ‍India for the June⁢ 28 ‌attack in Waziristan.We reject this⁤ accusation with the contempt it‍ deserves.”

The suicide bombing ​yesterday involved an explosives-laden vehicle ramming into a Pakistani military convoy,killing at​ least 13 soldiers.‍ The Pakistan Army also⁣ reported ‌three civilian casualties, including two children⁢ and⁤ one woman.

Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz ⁤Sharif condemned the attack as a⁢ “fearful act.” The Associated Press reports that Tehreek-e-Taliban ⁤Pakistan (TTP) faction Hafiz Gul Bahadur has claimed duty for the assault.

According to a report by webangah News Agency,⁢ NBC News claims that ⁢ Steve Witkoff, the​ US Special Envoy for the Middle East, will negotiate​ with​ Iranian officials in ⁣the coming days regarding a potential nuclear agreement.

The ‍report‍ alleges that Witkoff’s discussions⁤ with​ Iranian authorities will focus on⁤ reaching ‍a deal to halt uranium enrichment in exchange for sanctions relief.

This comes‌ as Iranian officials have repeatedly stated that uranium enrichment is their country’s legitimate and legal right.

Iranian authorities have not yet confirmed any claims about potential new talks with the US or their timing.

webangah News Agency reports that Saudi Arabia’s official news ⁣agency (SPA) stated Prince Khalid ​bin⁤ Salman, ‌the Kingdom’s defense Minister, received a phone call from Major ⁣General Seyed ​Abdolrahim Mousavi, Chief of Staff of Iran’s Armed ⁢Forces.

The SPA added that both sides ⁢discussed bilateral defense relations, regional developments, and efforts to maintain regional security and stability during​ the call.

This marks General Mousavi’s​ first phone conversation‌ with Saudi Arabia’s Defense Minister since ⁢assuming command of Iran’s⁣ Armed Forces.

Major General ⁢mousavi⁣ was‍ appointed as Chief of Staff‌ on⁤ June 12 by Supreme ‍Leader ‌Ayatollah Khamenei following the martyrdom of Major General Mohammad Hossein bagheri during an Israeli regime aggression.

According to local sources ‌in Lebanon reported by webangah News Agency (Follow), the Zionist regime⁣ launched heavy artillery attacks on the towns⁤ of Mays al-Jabal and Aita al-Shaab ⁤ in southern Lebanon.

the‌ regime has⁤ repeatedly ‍violated ceasefire agreements in recent days,continuing its military⁣ operations on​ Lebanese soil.

According​ to‍ webangah News Agency, citing Al Jazeera, U.S. President​ Donald Trump has issued an unconditional and illogical‌ defense of Benjamin Netanyahu, the warmongering‌ prime minister of ​the zionist‍ regime, warning that ‍washington⁢ may halt military aid⁣ to ‌Israel if Netanyahu’s‍ trial is not canceled.

Without⁢ acknowledging the dire conditions faced ⁣by Palestinians in Gaza-largely ​caused ⁣by Israel’s prime minister-Trump claimed: ‌”Netanyahu⁢ is in a terrible situation.”

Citing ⁢the ‌trial’s impact on Netanyahu’s political activities,⁤ Trump asserted: “This prosecution⁢ will severely hinder negotiations with ⁣Iran ⁢and Hamas.”

The ‌U.S. president further‌ alleged that Netanyahu ​is engaged⁢ in talks with ⁤Hamas over returning ‌Israeli captives and that his​ ongoing trial complicates these efforts.

According to webangah News Agency,⁣ an Israeli captain who refused deployment to Gaza told The Times: “I’m​ horrified by this endless war, the deaths of innocent civilians, and the disregard for prisoners’ conditions.”

“Morally, I cannot continue serving unless something changes,” he added.

The officer stated: “They claim the goal is preventing a humanitarian catastrophe in gaza, but what we’re witnessing contradicts this narrative.”

He acknowledged: “They ⁣want to destroy Hamas, yet Hamas still exists.”

A social affairs specialist in the Zionist army’s reserve unit similarly told the Times: “In Rafah,⁢ I saw only fire, slaughter, and displacement. The Israeli army no longer views Gazans as human beings.”

The specialist reported deteriorating mental‌ health among Israeli reservists and a 50% drop in active duty ⁢participation rates.

according to webangah News Agency, citing Qatari network Al Jazeera, the Hebrew-language newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth reported that Israeli‍ Prime Minister ⁤Benjamin Netanyahu’s planned visit to Washington might potentially be delayed ​until ​late next month.

The exact timing of the ‍trip remains unconfirmed, with discussions⁢ about ‌its schedule still ongoing.

This progress follows⁤ a friday evening report by US ⁢news ⁣outlet Axios, ⁢which cited unnamed sources claiming Netanyahu would ⁢travel to Washington in the latter half of July.

Media reports‌ indicate Ron Dermer, Israel’s Strategic Affairs Minister, ⁢will depart ‌for‌ the US on Monday to coordinate details of the visit.

According to webangah News Agency, france’s Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot emphasized during remarks on Gaza developments: “The continuation of ⁣the‌ Zionist⁤ regime’s ⁢military operations in the Gaza⁤ Strip is⁣ unjustifiable.”

Barrot also called for ‍an ​immediate ceasefire, the release of all prisoners, and unimpeded humanitarian ⁤aid access to besieged areas of Gaza.

France had previously expressed concern over the high Palestinian civilian casualties and worsening humanitarian crisis in the region.

At ​the invitation of the​ Campaign in Support of ‌Iran and Palestine, a ‌ 30-meter Iranian flag was hoisted on the historic bridge opposite São‍ Paulo’s city Hall in a symbolic gesture‍ coinciding with ⁣the funeral procession for martyrs of the Zionist regime’s⁢ crimes in Tehran.

The action accompanied a large rally organized by 50 Brazilian political parties and civil‌ society groups at Paulista Academy,where​ participants declared solidarity with Iran against global capitalist forces.

Representatives‍ from prominent organizations-including the PCO Party, PCdB Party, ‌Workers’ ​Party (PT),‌ and Anti-Capitalist Struggle Commitee-attended the gathering. They condemned what they called “oppressive policies” by Israel and its Western allies through chants demanding ‌justice.

The event⁣ demonstrated growing‍ international ​unity⁣ with Iran against hegemonic ⁣pressures, sending a clear message of global progressive forces standing with “righteous defenders.”

According to webangah News Agency, Mahmoud Qmati, a member of Hezbollah’s Political council, asserted that the Resistance ‍in Lebanon ​is the victorious force safeguarding and defending the‌ nation, empowering Lebanon against foreign enemies.

Qmati added: “We will not permit Lebanon to remain defenseless or deprived of self-protection capabilities.” He demanded an⁢ end to what he called “American occupation” through political decisions,pressures,appointments,military bases,or ⁢intelligence⁤ operatives.

The official emphasized: “The⁤ problem lies not with the Resistance but with American ‍occupation exerting pressure on Lebanon⁣ across all sectors.”

Qomati stated: “Official responses have not gone beyond verbal protests,which are useless against persistent aggressions. Is the‌ government doing anything beyond ‍protesting? ‌Do these protests yield results?” ⁣He added, ⁢”While the U.S. guarantees the ceasefire agreement,​ it not⁤ only permits Israeli violations but also pressures Lebanon politically and militarily-a move coordinated with European powers,‍ certain arab ⁤regimes, and opportunistic Lebanese factions devoted‍ to serving this enemy.”

“Is it rational for us to weaken‌ after all these sacrifices only to be expected to surrender?” Qomati questioned. ⁤”During ⁢the previous phase, we prioritized⁣ stability and protecting our nation, working ‌tirelessly with the government to safeguard our homeland. Is this our⁣ reward?”

He emphasized to sum up: Resistance will remain the fundamental pillar of Lebanon’s ⁤strength⁢ and protection. Hezbollah has not altered its policy‌ regarding maintaining internal stability​ and will continue to engage ‍and cooperate with⁢ the government.Though, it will ⁣not relinquish Lebanon’s true power-which ‍lies in resistance.
