Blasts across southern Iran after Tehran attacks Gulf states

Explosions have been reported across southern Iran by state media and local officials, including near the Bushehr nuclear facility.

What’s been happening in the occupied West Bank?
Reports from the Palestinian Wafa news agency indicate that Israeli soldiers and settlers persist in entering towns, demolishing residences, and targeting locals across various areas of the occupied West Bank.

Here are some of the reported incidents:

Al-Mughayyir: Israeli occupation forces stormed the village northeast of Ramallah, sparking confrontations that left two Palestinians wounded by live ammunition. Other residents sustained injuries and bruises after being severely beaten by soldiers during a house raid.
Yanun: Israeli settlers demolished the Yanun primary school, which served 15 students, months after the local population was forcibly displaced.
Deir Jarir: A group of about 150 Israeli settlers attacked the town from multiple directions under military protection. The attackers closed the town’s main gate, damaged homes and vehicles, and assaulted residents who attempted to intervene, while emergency medical crews were blocked from reaching the injured.
Tubas: Israeli forces uprooted hundreds of trees and destroyed water pipelines in a village as part of the construction of a military road and separation wall in the area.
Mediator Pakistan says renewed US-Iran conflict ‘in no one’s interest’
Pakistan has urged “all parties” in the escalating United States-Iran conflict to exercise restraint after a fragile ceasefire that had held for nearly three weeks collapsed into a new wave of strikes and counterstrikes.

“A renewed conflict is in no one’s interest,” the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement on Wednesday.

It urged both sides to honour commitments under the Islamabad memorandum of understanding (MoU), brokered by Pakistan in April, describing it as “an enduring foundation for understanding, mutual respect and shared prosperity for the region and beyond”.
US military highlights securing transit of 380 million barrels of oil since May
The US military refutes claims by Iranian state media regarding shipping routes in the Strait of Hormuz, affirming that Iran does not control the strategic waterway.

In a post on X, CENTCOM said that “Iranian state media claims that transit through the Strait of Hormuz is only permitted through routes designated by Iran” is a “CLAIM” and that the “TRUTH” is “Iran does not control the Strait of Hormuz”.

The command further stated that “since early May, US forces have helped facilitate the successful transit of more than 800 commercial vessels and 380 million barrels of crude oil through the vital international trade corridor”.
