BREAKING: IRGC says Iran’s forces have “not launched any missiles at any country during the ceasefire hours up to this time”, adding any reported drone strike “is undoubtedly the work of the Zionist enemy or America”.

The mask is completely off. The Israeli Defence Ministry goes on camera and openly boasts about their plan to systematically destroy civilian houses in Lebanon and permanently occupy the Litani area. They are literally confessing to war crimes and illegal land theft.
🇮🇱🇱🇧 Israel issued a warning they're going to start attacking ambulances in Lebanon.
The reason? They claim Hezbollah has been using them to conceal their movements.
The country that bombed an entire residential apartment building to kill one Hezbollah target now plans to hit ambulances.
How many more innocent civilians have to die before the world wakes up and stops this?
I was deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Dr Kamal Kharazi, former Foreign Minister of Iran whose untimely death came from the wounds inflicted by Zionist terrorist attacks.
I first came to know Dr Kharazi during his years as Iran’s envoy to the United Nations in New York, and our friendship carried through his distinguished tenure as Foreign Minister. He was a man of rare learning and genuine warmth: always thoughtful, always gracious.
The world has lost an exceptional diplomat and I have lost a dear friend. My heartfelt condolences to his family and to the people of Iran. His passing is a reminder of the terrible cost of this conflict. This war must end.

NEW: Europe is publicly aligning with Iran's central demand that the April 7 ceasefire include Lebanon, a day after the deal collapsed over US and Israeli refusal to include it.
Spain is reopening its Tehran embassy after one month and joined France, the UK, Italy, Germany, and the EU Commission in a joint statement calling for the ceasefire to cover Lebanon. Albares, Barrot, and Cooper each condemned Israel's Wednesday strikes on Beirut as a violation threatening the agreement.
The Lebanon condition is the exact clause Iranian Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf cited yesterday when he walked out of the 10-point proposal before Saturday's Islamabad talks.
Israel destroyed the last bridge connecting southern Lebanon to the rest of the country.
What Israel is currently doing in southern Lebanon is clearly aimed at ethnic cleansing and colonization.
Civilians can't flee. Ambulances cannot reach the wounded or the hospitals on the other side. Laying siege cruelly cut off all fuel from entering, with threats to bomb aid trucks and medical vehicles heading south. Entire communities are cut off from essential supplies.
Food, water, and medical supplies currently available in the south are sufficient for less than a month, with flagrant violations of international humanitarian law and the international community remains silent.
Absolute heartbreak on Al Jazeera. A brave resident exposes Israel's deliberate targeting of civilians. He breaks down after carrying a three year old child with shrapnel in his head. He confirms there were absolutely no military targets, just innocent families. Pure evil.
