🇮🇷 "If the limited opportunities that the United Nations has are not used, the possibility of the opening of new fronts against the regime is unavoidable,” said Iran’s Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian.

Iran does not support the expansion of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, but it is possible that the country enters the war as no party can remain indifferent with the ongoing situation, the minister explained.

He added that the resistance leaders were all of the opinion that they will give a chance to a political solution if any is reached, but “any action is possible”.

🇮🇱 Israel has asked the US for $10 billion in emergency military aid, an American newspaper cited unnamed sources as saying.

The Israeli military said last week that a US aircraft had landed in the Jewish state with the first shipment of American ammunition for Tel Aviv since the October 7 escalation of the Palestine-Israel conflict.

The sources argued that the US Congress is coordinating the issue with the White House as lawmakers seek to link the Israel aid package with assistance to Ukraine and Taiwan, as well as funds to fortify the US-Mexico border.
