AhlulBayt News Agency: Mojtaba Amani, Iran’s Ambassador to Lebanon, said that given the complex situation in Gaza and Lebanon, the idea of disarming Hamas is unrealistic. He added that the Zionist regime lacks the capability to launch a large-scale war.
Mojtaba Amani, Iran’s Ambassador to Lebanon, said Sunday night in a special interview with the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) that in light of the recent Israeli attacks on Gaza and Lebanon, the idea of disarming Hamas is an unattainable notion. He stressed that the Zionist regime does not have the capability to launch a large-scale war.
Amani said that Israel does not adhere to its commitments and conducts its attacks based on limited calculations. He noted that the regime seeks to carry out operations within certain boundaries to prevent the conflict from escalating.
Amani added that Hamas has agreed to only three conditions: a ceasefire, a prisoner exchange, and the reopening of border crossings for reconstruction — and has rejected any imposed political plan.
He further stated that Netanyahu, by partially violating the ceasefire, is trying to appease the hardline ministers in his cabinet without provoking a strong reaction from Hezbollah or other resistance groups.

Hamas: The U.S. believes Israel’s lies
Hazem Qassem, spokesperson for the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), said that the Zionist enemy is the source of chaos in the Gaza Strip and cannot tolerate seeing stability in the region. He added that the United States accepts the false claims that Israel spreads against Hamas.
Qassem stated that the U.S. State Department’s stance regarding Hamas’s alleged attacks on Gaza residents is “slanderous and baseless.”
The Hamas spokesperson stressed that the occupying regime constantly incites against Hamas, while Washington echoes its narrative and covers up Tel Aviv’s crimes against civilians in Gaza.

In an interview with the Neue Zürcher Zeitung, Grossi acknowledged that IAEA inspectors believe Iran has not hidden a significant amount of highly enriched uranium at undisclosed locations.
Regarding the possibility of IAEA inspectors gaining access to Iranian facilities, Grossi said such access would only be possible if Iran deemed it to be in its national interest.
Trump repeats drug allegations, this time against Colombia’s president
U.S. President Donald Trump accused Gustavo Petro, the president of Colombia, of supporting large-scale drug production in the country in a post on his social media platform Truth Social.
Repeating a claim similar to the one he previously made about Venezuela, Trump announced that U.S. financial aid and subsidies to Colombia would be suspended. He also warned that if Petro failed to take action to stop drug cultivation, the United States would intervene directly.
The accusation comes after the Colombian president earlier accused the United States of violating Colombia’s sovereignty and committing “acts of murder” in its territorial waters.
