Five dead in strikes in Lebanon
New Israeli strikes killed five people, including two children, in southern Lebanon on Sunday, despite an extension of the ceasefire, according to the Lebanese Ministry of Health.
Three people died in Tayr Felsay and two in Tayr Debba, the ministry said in a preliminary assessment, adding that about fifteen people were also injured in this series of strikes in the south.
Donald Trump threatens Iran again
On his Truth Social platform on Sunday, Donald Trump warned that “there will be nothing left of Iran” if Tehran does not reach an agreement with the United States, as negotiations between the two countries stall.
“For Iran, time is running out, and they had better act quickly, or there will be nothing left of them,” the American president threatened.
The UAE describes a “dangerous escalation”
The United Arab Emirates denounced on Sunday the drone strike that caused a fire near the Barakah nuclear power plant in the western part of the country, without attributing the attack.
“This constitutes a dangerous escalation, an unacceptable act of aggression, and a direct threat to the country’s security,” said the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in a statement, asserting that “no threat to security and sovereignty will be tolerated, regardless of the circumstances.”
Hezbollah fired about 200 projectiles towards Israel over the weekend
An Israeli military official said on Sunday that Hezbollah had fired about 200 projectiles at Israel and Israeli troops in Lebanon over the weekend, despite the agreement between Israel and Lebanon to extend the ceasefire.
Clashes between Israeli forces and Hezbollah continued even as envoys from both countries agreed on Friday to extend the ceasefire for an additional 45 days.
The drone that struck a nuclear site entered the country from the western border
In a statement, the Ministry of Defense indicated that anti-air defense systems detected “three drones that entered through the western border,” two of which were successfully intercepted, while the other “struck an electric generator” near the Barakah plant (west).
Washington made “no concrete concessions” in response to Tehran’s offer
In the list presented by the U.S. government: Iran should maintain only one active nuclear site and transfer its stockpile of highly enriched uranium to the United States, impose very strict and long-term restrictions on the Iranian nuclear sector, and condition the cessation of hostilities on all fronts on the opening of negotiations, according to the agency Fars.
According to the same source, the United States also refused to “release even 25% of the Iranian assets frozen abroad or to pay reparations for the damages suffered by Iran during the war.”
The International Atomic Energy Agency expresses concern after the strike near a nuclear power plant in the UAE
Its director general, Rafael Grossi, expressed “deep concern” on the X social network after the drone strike near the Barakah nuclear power plant in the United Arab Emirates.
“Any military activity affecting nuclear safety is unacceptable,” added the head of the UN agency for nuclear security, who said he was informed by the UAE that “radiation levels at the Barakah nuclear power plant remain normal and no injuries have been reported.”
