Hamas Chief Ismail Haniyeh arrived in Tehran on Wednesday to attend the funeral of Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi, just days after the International Criminal Court announced it was seeking his arrest for war crimes.
The ceremony saw the presence of top army generals, Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps leaders, and representatives from regional militant groups as Iranian leaders mourned Raisi, who was 63 and died in a helicopter crash on Sunday.
Hezbollah’s Deputy Secretary General, Naim Qassem, was present in Tehran for the funeral of Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi.
The Iranian Armed Forces' General Staff released its inaugural report on the helicopter crash that claimed President Ebrahim Raisi's life and his delegation. Investigations into the incident, which occurred in northwestern Iran, revealed no signs of external impact on the wreckage. Search efforts, hampered by adverse weather conditions, persisted with the aid of drones. Further updates on pre-crash communications and contributing factors are anticipated.

Israel targeted a Gaza school, claiming it contained Hamas fighters, killing 27 civilians seeking shelter, which Hamas denied. Hamas leader Haniyeh rejected the U.S. ceasefire proposal, demanding a permanent Israeli withdrawal. Despite U.S. efforts, truce attempts failed as Hamas insists on a lasting deal while Israel wants only temporary pauses until defeating Hamas. The eight-month war erupted after a Hamas attack killed 1,200 Israelis.

In a bold statement, Ismail Haniyeh, the head of the Political Bureau of Hamas, accused the Israeli regime of deliberately extending ceasefire negotiations to perpetuate its aggressive military campaign against the Gaza Strip. Speaking at an event in Beirut, Haniyeh criticised Israel's tactics and reaffirmed the resistance movement's commitment to not being manipulated by these manoeuvres.

Seven months into the conflict triggered by Hamas's October 7 attack, Israeli forces are engaged in fierce battles with Palestinian militants in Gaza, focusing on Rafah near the Egyptian border and new flashpoints in northern and central areas. An incident of friendly fire in Jabalia resulted in the deaths of five Israeli soldiers and injuries to seven others. Despite heavy fighting and Israeli airstrikes across Gaza, Prime Minister Netanyahu has ordered an offensive in Rafah, claiming mass evacuations have prevented a humanitarian catastrophe. He emphasised that planning for Gaza's future governance is premature until Hamas is defeated. Defense Minister Yoav Gallant countered by calling for Palestinian entities, supported by international actors, to govern Gaza post-conflict. Meanwhile, Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh declared that Hamas and other Palestinian factions would determine Gaza's governance, reiterating demands for a permanent ceasefire and the lifting of the siege. The conflict has resulted in significant casualties, with 278 Israeli troops and at least 35,233 Palestinians killed, and has led to severe shortages of essential supplies in Gaza.

UN Nuclear Watchdog , Clashes With Iran for Failing , to Cooperate With Inspectors.
'The Guardian' reports that the West may be teetering on the edge of a renewed confrontation with Tehran over Iran's nuclear program.
The news comes after the United Nations' nuclear watchdog voted to censure Iran for repeatedly failing to cooperate with U.N. inspectors. .
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)
vote came after the United States dropped its
objection to the censure, joining European nations.
EU nations had urged the Biden administration to alter
its stance on the matter, claiming that the integrity
of the nuclear non-proliferation treaty was in jeopardy. .
The U.S. has since called for a long-term strategy to be
developed to deal with Iran's nuclear program, stressing
that the terms of the original 2015 deal expire next year.
The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action
(JCPoA) originally saw Western economic
sanctions lifted in exchange for strong
controls over Iran's nuclear program.
However, 'The Guardian' reports that Tehran has
since gradually restricted access for U.N. inspectors,
while also vastly boosting its stock of enriched uranium. .
