Iran executes man accused of armed attacks during US-Israeli strikes

Ali-Sina Mostafavi, 38, a mountaineer and musician from Kerman, was executed on charges of “enmity against God” after being accused of firing on civilians and soldiers during the opening months of the war. He was also charged with participating in the January protests and sending footage

Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty urged Iran to cease all attacks against Saudi Arabia during a phone conversation on Tuesday. He emphasized the lack of justification for such actions and their inability to be tolerated, stressing the need for de-escalation and the containment of regional tensions to protect the security and stability of the region.

Abdelatty expressed Egypt's full support for Saudi Arabia, highlighting the integral role of Saudi national security in both Egyptian and Arab national security interests. He indicated that Egypt was considering joining the "Mecca Joint Defense Agreement" and pledged to provide all forms of support, including military assistance, to Saudi Arabia.

Houthi leader Yahya Saree warned Saudi Arabia of a severe response if Yemen's capital, Sanaa, were targeted. This warning came shortly after the Coalition to Support Legitimacy in Yemen announced plans to evacuate civilians from Sanaa's Yemen Oil Company site due to the threat of precision operations. Simultaneously, the Joint Forces Command urged the evacuation of the al-Sabaha Central Station in Sanaa for the safety of its residents.

On the ground, Yemen's ongoing conflict between government forces and the Houthis continues, coinciding with the Coalition's interception of Houthi attacks targeting Saudi Arabia. US President Donald Trump condemned the Houthis, labeling their behavior as unacceptable. In response, a Houthi political bureau member, Mohammed al-Bukhaiti, threatened a swift and painful retaliation from the United States in case of any intervention in the conflict between the Houthis and Saudi Arabia, warning of a potential full-scale escalation.
