Israeli attacks on Hezbollah fuel hardline calls for Iran to escalate Behrouz Turani Iran International 2 hours ago Iranian hardliners are demanding that Tehran abandon restraint and restore deterrence through military confrontation following the latest Israeli attack on Hezbollah sites in southern Lebanon. On Thursday, Israel said it destroyed a major underground Hezbollah complex, adding to pressure on one of Iran’s most important regional allies, which has been severely weakened over the past two years. Ultraconservative MP Mohammad-Taghi Naqd-Ali blamed what he called Iran’s “non-confrontational stance,” arguing that Tehran’s failure to respond more forcefully to Israeli threats had placed southern Lebanon and Hezbollah “in serious danger.” “We must carry out a preemptive strike,” he said. His warning reflects a broader argument among Iranian politicians and media over whether restraint reduces the risk of a wider war or instead encourages Iran’s adversaries to escalate. The debate encompasses Tehran’s support for regional allies, its confrontation with the United States and, increasingly, its nuclear policy. Hassan Ghashqavi, spokesperson for parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, said on Thursday that “until Iran reaches complete and total deterrence, the probability of an attack exists at every single moment.” The same argument has surfaced in the nuclear debate, where hardline lawmakers and commentators have called for suspending cooperation with the IAEA or even withdrawing from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. ‘Meydan’ vs diplomacy The dispute echoes an older fault line in Iranian politics between meydan — literally “the field,” shorthand for military power and Iran’s regional armed network — and diplomacy. The distinction became particularly contentious during Hassan Rouhani’s presidency, when then-Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif publicly complained about diplomacy being subordinated to military priorities. President Masoud Pezeshkian’s government has not renounced Iran’s regional alliances, and some of the sharpest disputes over military strategy now take place within the conservative establishment itself. But the underlying argument has resurfaced: whether Iran is safer when diplomacy is accompanied by restraint, or when its adversaries believe Tehran is prepared to escalate. The disagreement has become more consequential as Iran faces the combined pressures of war, sanctions and a weakened network of regional allies. The Houthi example Unlike Hezbollah, which has suffered heavy losses in its conflict with Israel, the Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen have continued to expand their military campaign and made new territorial gains in recent days around the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. The Houthis could nevertheless bolster the hardline argument that an allied force can continue imposing costs on its adversaries rather than pulling back under military pressure. But the comparison also exposes the risks facing Tehran. Greater Iranian identification with Houthi attacks on shipping could deepen its confrontation with the United States and regional powers at a time when Iran is already under intense military and economic pressure. That tension goes to the heart of the disagreement over Iran’s regional network. Hardliners have traditionally regarded Hezbollah and other allied armed groups as an outer defensive perimeter, allowing Tehran to deter or confront adversaries before threats reach Iranian territory. From that perspective, the weakening of those groups does not make disengagement more attractive but makes restoring their deterrent power more urgent. The counterargument is that Iran’s own economic vulnerability and the danger of further regional escalation require greater restraint. The argument has acquired greater urgency as Hezbollah comes under renewed Israeli attack while Iran itself faces direct confrontation with the United States. https://www.iranintl.com/en/202609113453 |

Algeria cuts diplomatic ties with the UAE By Jana Choukeir September 10, 202611:45 AM GMT+1Updated September 10, 2026 Sept 10 (Reuters) - Algeria abruptly severed diplomatic relations with the United Arab Emirates on Thursday, citing what it described as a series of "provocative or hostile" actions by Abu Dhabi but giving no specific reason for the move. The UAE hoped Algeria's decision to cut diplomatic ties would be temporary, its foreign ministry said in a statement later in the day, adding that Abu Dhabi remained committed to preserving ties between the two countries' peoples and shared interests. Relations between the two countries have come under growing strain in recent years, with Algerian media outlets sharply criticising the UAE and accusing it of seeking to sow regional discord. "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) affirms the UAE’s appreciation for the brotherly Algerian people and its pride in the bonds that unite the two peoples, particularly through the Algerian community residing in the UAE and Algerian visitors," the ministry said. The Algerian foreign ministry said the UAE's actions had reached a point where they could no longer be considered acceptable or tolerable and that it had "exhausted all means of preserving bilateral relations." Anwar Gargash, diplomatic adviser to the UAE president, said on X that diplomatic relations should be based on "rationality, communication and clarity of interests", rather than "riddles and signals that require decoding". Gargash, who did not explicitly mention Algeria or link his comments to its decision, said successful diplomacy depended on clear positions and the effective management of interests and disagreements. Following its decision to cut diplomatic ties with the UAE, Algeria will close its airspace to all UAE-registered civilian and military aircraft from Friday, Ennahar TV reported, citing the Algerian defence ministry. UAE commercial flights to and from Algiers will be exempt from the ban until the end of 2026, when the current contract expires, the ministry added. DIFFERING POSITIONS ON REGIONAL ISSUES The UAE ambassador was summoned to Algeria's foreign ministry, informed of the decision and given 48 hours to comply, the ministry said. Algeria and the UAE have taken differing positions on several regional issues. Algeria opposes normalisation with Israel, while the UAE and Algeria's regional rival Morocco established diplomatic ties with Israel under the U.S.-brokered Abraham Accords in 2020. The two countries are also on opposing sides of the decades-old Western Sahara dispute. The UAE supports Morocco's claim to sovereignty over the territory where it has a consulate, while Algeria backs the Polisario Front, which seeks an independent Western Sahara. The two countries' interests have increasingly intersected in the Sahel, where the UAE has expanded ties with several governments in recent years, while Algeria's relations with some of its southern neighbours have become strained following a series of military coups. Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune said last year his country's relations with all Gulf states were warm except for one — a thinly veiled reference to the UAE. He described ties with Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Oman and Qatar as "brotherly", while accusing the unnamed country of meddling in Algeria's internal affairs and seeking to destabilise it. In February, Algeria began the process of cancelling an air services agreement with the UAE that was signed in Abu Dhabi in May 2013.

Ismail Haniyeh’s sister denies terror incitement charges as evidence phase begins Sabah al-Salam Haniyeh tells an Israeli court she cannot read or write, disputing allegations that she sent messages praising the October 7 attacks September 10, 2026 at 03:20 PM latest revision September 10, 2026 at 03:28 PM The evidentiary phase in the trial of Sabah al-Salam Haniyeh, sister of former Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh, began Thursday at the Beersheba District Court. Haniyeh, 57, a resident of Tel Sheva, is charged with identifying with a terrorist organization and incitement. The allegations relate in part to messages exchanged with her brother on the morning of October 7. Haniyeh pleaded not guilty, telling the court that she can neither read nor write. She said she grew up in Gaza without receiving a formal education and relies on relatives to read messages aloud to her. Her lawyers presented an electronic pen that she uses to listen to verses from the Quran as evidence supporting her claim. During cross-examination, prosecutors questioned Haniyeh about messages sent from her phone beginning at 6:52 a.m. on October 7, including exchanges with several contacts and with her brother. She maintained that numerous relatives, including her children and grandchildren, regularly used the device. The prosecution challenged that explanation, arguing that the length and frequency of the conversations were inconsistent with messages written by a young child. Haniyeh was arrested in April 2024 during a search of her Tel Sheva home. Authorities said they seized digital storage devices, documents and several hundred thousand shekels in cash. According to the indictment, she sent messages to her brother that praised and encouraged the Hamas-led attacks of October 7. She denies inciting violence. Haniyeh stressed that she has lived in Israel for more than 40 years, having moved there after marrying at the age of 15. She also said that she and her family sought shelter during the October 7 attacks. https://www.i24news.tv/en/news/israel/defense/artc-ismail-haniyeh-s-sister-denies-terror-incitement-charges-as-evidence-phase-begins |

Learner247:Bless you sir. You are a noble man. Fasting and prayers are not prerogative of Christians alone. All religions fast. Even occults fast too. Even in Christianity, fasting and prayers are not the yardstick for knowing who is born-again? Note: Those who are truly born-again, crucified with CHRIST JESUS, offering their bodies as living sacrifices, holy and acceptable to GOD Almighty are most probably not more than 20% of those who claim to be Christians. |
Learner247:Hmmmmm GOD Almighty done become ATM machine for una so? The number one thing he needs is salvation. His healing na small matter for GOD. Why do you guys lay the wrong foundation for people's journey of faith? With this your advice, he soon becomes serious with one denomination and later becomes even a worker or a minister, without the new birth and crucifixion of self/flesh/human nature. |

"We will not allow any terrorist army to establish on our border." Benjamin Netanyahu The above message is complete, loud, and clear enough. |
'We will not allow any terrorist army to establish on our border,' Netanyahu visits Mount Hermon in Syria Israeli prime minister says Israel will retain security control along the Syrian frontier and remains committed to defeating Iran’s government 3 min read September 09, 2026 at 02:19 PM latest revision September 09, 2026 at 03:00 PM Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu visited Israeli military positions on Mount Hermon in Syria on Wednesday, declaring that Israel would prevent any hostile armed force from establishing itself near the country’s border. Netanyahu was accompanied by Defense Minister Israel Katz and Deputy Chief of Staff Maj. Gen. Tamir Yadai. At an Israel Defense Forces post overlooking Syria, they received an operational briefing from Northern Command chief Maj. Gen. Rafi Milo and 210th Division commander Brig. Gen. Yair Falai. x.com/i/web/status/2097686324325077129 Speaking ahead of Rosh Hashanah, Netanyahu said Israel now exercises unprecedented control over the territory stretching from Mount Hermon to the Yarmouk River and westward to the Mediterranean. “We will not allow any terrorist army to establish itself on our border,” Netanyahu said, describing Israel’s position in the area as one of the major achievements of what his government calls the “War of Rebirth.” The prime minister also directed his remarks toward Iran, portraying Tehran as the central force behind the regional network opposed to Israel. “The main work is to defeat the terrorist regime in Iran,” Netanyahu said. “We are very close to that. We know that the entire axis will fall once and for all. We are committed to doing it, and we will do it.” Netanyahu concluded by wishing Israelis a happy new year and thanking Israeli soldiers serving in the area. The remarks underscored the Israeli government’s stated intention to prevent Iran or Iran-aligned armed groups from gaining a foothold near Israel’s northern frontier. Netanyahu did not provide further details about possible future military operations or the duration of Israel’s presence in Syrian territory. https://www.i24news.tv/en/news/israel/defense/artc-we-will-not-allow-any-terrorist-army-to-establish-on-our-border-netanyahu-visits-mount-hermon-in-syria |

Pakistan delivers Saudi warning to Iran: Rein in the Houthis. Warning comes after Houthis have stepped up attacks on Saudi Arabia; Pakistan's warning to Iran carries significant weight because of its defense pact with Saudi Arabia and Turkey Reuters | published:01:30 Pakistan has delivered a Saudi warning to Iran to rein in its Yemeni Houthi allies after they stepped up attacks on the kingdom, in a coordinated effort to prevent the crisis from spiraling, Saudi, Pakistani and Iranian sources said. The Houthis struck an airbase in Khamis Mushait and oil infrastructure in nearby cities on Tuesday, wounding 73 people, in one of the biggest attacks on Saudi Arabia since the start of the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran in February. Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree said on Wednesday that Saudi warplanes carried out 54 airstrikes across various Yemeni provinces over the past 12 hours, adding that they would "not go unanswered and unpunished." The escalating conflict, which represents a second theater of war to threaten global energy supplies, comes as Iran and the United States wage their biggest declared wave of tit-for-tat attacks on shipping in the Gulf region since their war began. Pakistan's warning to Iran carries significant weight because of its defense pact with Saudi Arabia and Turkey. While officials in Islamabad stressed any military role would be confined to defending Saudi territory, Pakistani Defense Minister Khawaja Asif said attacks spilling into the kingdom could trigger a joint security arrangement involving Riyadh, Ankara and Islamabad. "An aggression on one country will be considered an aggression on all three countries," Asif said on Pakistani TV. "There is no ambiguity or doubt... Unprovoked aggression or spillover... into Saudi Arabia will definitely make this agreement operational." The Pakistani defense ministry, foreign ministry and the military did not respond to a Reuters request for comment. Fears of proxy war turning into wider regional crisis Pakistan’s intervention, after years of balancing ties with Saudi Arabia and Iran, has underscored the seriousness of the Houthi attacks. The message to Tehran is clear: rein in the Houthis or risk turning a proxy conflict into a broader regional security crisis, the sources said. A senior regional diplomat said Pakistan had conveyed the message to Iran over the past 24 hours, urging Tehran to use its influence to halt Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia. A senior Iranian official confirmed that Pakistan conveyed the message to Tehran on Tuesday and Tehran's response was that "Iran does not control the Houthis." However, two Iranian sources said Tehran had told the Houthis last week to carry out attacks on Saudi Arabia. Tehran promised additional funding and weapons, they said, while several Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps commanders had travelled to Yemen to help coordinate the attacks. The regional diplomat said Islamabad was seeking to restrain the Houthis before the escalation reached a point where Riyadh could press Pakistan to play a more active role in defending it. "Pakistan has an agreement with Saudi Arabia, but I am hopeful the situation will not reach the point where Pakistan has to practically step in," the diplomat told Reuters. "It will pursue a diplomatic solution for now." Pakistani support for Saudis The Pakistani source said Saudi officials had met senior Pakistani and Turkish military representatives in Riyadh to coordinate their response. The three countries agreed that their troops would not enter Yemen and that any response would be launched from Saudi territory, the source added. A second Pakistani source said no decision had been made to join retaliatory strikes, stressing that its military pact with Riyadh was defensive and limited to protecting Saudi territory. Pakistani forces could provide military, technical, ground or air support within Saudi Arabia, but would not take part in combat operations on foreign soil, the source said. The pressure campaign waged by Iran and the Houthis could have the opposite effect to that intended by Tehran, the regional diplomat said. By targeting Gulf security in a bid to pressure Washington over its blockade of Iranian ports, Tehran risks driving Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Turkey and other U.S.-aligned states into closer security coordination rather than fracturing their ties. Trump's blockade of Iran set to continue Regional officials also see little sign that Washington is prepared to relent. President Donald Trump appears committed to maintaining the U.S. blockade until Iran reaches an agreement with Washington, the diplomat said, while Qatar is quietly exploring new proposals aimed at bringing both sides back to negotiations. Another regional source said Saudi Arabia's military response would remain focused on the Houthis rather than Iran itself. Nor do Saudi officials believe Houthi attacks will achieve Tehran's broader objective of ending the U.S. blockade. "The question is how much pain Iran can absorb, and for how long," the source said. "Trump does not want a military solution. He wants to squeeze them through the blockade." https://www.ynetnews.com/article/b1kusdktgx |
