Iran's stance on talks with US
The leader of the Islamic Revolution has delivered an address marking Student Day, which is the anniversary of the 1979 takeover of the US embassy in Tehran. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei says the rift between Iran and the United States runs far deeper than politics. It’s inherent in nature, not tactical.
Israel's crimes in Gaza
Gaza’s Health Ministry has strongly condemned the horrific crimes committed by Israeli forces against Palestinian abductees whose bodies have been returned by the regime. The ministry’s statement came after Israel returned 45 bodies of Palestinian abductees. The ministry said the recovered bodies show the victims were brutally killed and mutilated. It added that some abductees’ faces were burned to conceal their identities, and their internal organs were savagely torn apart. The ministry also criticized human rights organizations and international courts for remaining silent on the regime’s violations. It stated that the mutilated bodies of Palestinian abductees remain a testament to the global hypocrisy and disgraceful international silence in the face of Israeli crimes. The Palestinian ministry stressed that medical teams and families of the abductees are facing immense challenges in identifying the bodies due to the extreme mutilation, torture, and abuse, with clear signs of brutal treatment visible on the remains.
US government shutdown
The US government shutdown, which has continued for over a month, is set to beat the previous record and become the longest in America’s history. Amid the funding impasse, Democratic and Republican leaders keep pointing fingers at each other over the failure to resolve the crisis. Meanwhile, the shutdown's toll on ordinary people is rising by the day. Food assistance for the poor has halted for the first time ever while federal workers, from airports to law enforcement and the military, are going unpaid. The Senate has voted more than a dozen times against a House-approved stopgap funding measure, with no lawmakers changing their position. President Donald Trump's Republicans hold a majority in the Senate, but they need the votes of at least seven Democrats to meet the chamber's 60-vote threshold for most legislation. Democrats are still holding out to extract an extension of some healthcare insurance subsidies in exchange for their government funding votes.
