Our region is no place for the infanticidal army that cruelly slaughters innocent families in the middle of the night while they sleep,\u201d the IRGC said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They added that their struggle, along with Jordan\u2019s, would continue until \u201cthe last American occupier is expelled from the Islamic lands\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>No evidence attacks launched from its territory: Iraq military spokesperson<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Iraq\u2019s military spokesperson said there was no evidence that recent attacks in the region were launched from Iraqi territory, according to&nbsp;<em>Al Jazeera<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Brigadier General Sabah al-Numan, spokesperson for the commander-in-chief of the Iraqi Armed Forces, told the state-run&nbsp;<em>Iraqi News Agency<\/em>&nbsp;on Thursday that \u201cthere is no evidence that attacks were launched from Iraqi territory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe government will not allow any individual actions from the inside, and at the same time will not accept any violation coming from outside the borders,\u201d al-Numan said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Al-Numan explained that \u201cthe visit of the prime minister and commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces, Ali Falih al-Zaidi, to the headquarters of the Popular Mobilisation Forces (PMF) and his receiving a detailed briefing on the attacks targeting PMF members in several governorates confirms that the PMF is an integral part of the national defence system.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He said the security establishment was currently preparing a comprehensive security plan to prevent future attacks and preserve Iraq\u2019s full sovereignty. Al-Numan stressed that official security forces were solely responsible for the security file and would not allow any armed presence outside the state\u2019s framework.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Talks with Oman officials over Strait of Hormuz are ongoing: Iran FM spokesperson<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Iranian&nbsp;Foreign Ministry spokesperson said talks with Oman in Tehran were continuing through several rounds, while blaming the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and disruption to international shipping on US and Israeli military actions, according to&nbsp;<em>Al Jazeera<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said the discussions with Omani officials, which began last week in Tehran, were ongoing and that further meetings had been held on Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhat is clear is that currently, the Strait of Hormuz is closed due to American actions and the insecurity that America has imposed on this waterway,\u201d Baghaei told the&nbsp;<em>ILNA&nbsp;<\/em>news agency. \u201cInternational shipping is being harmed and damaged solely because of American actions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He said the situation was the result of \u201cmilitary aggression\u201d by the US and Israel that began on March 28 and continues in various forms. Baghaei cited attacks on Iranian vessels, what he called an illegal blockade of ports and transit routes, and continuing strikes against Iran.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TEHRAN: In a statement directed to Jordan, the IRGC said in response to a US attack on Qeshm island that killed two parents and their child, aerospace fighters targeted a&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6132,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[57,165,1423],"class_list":["post-6131","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-world","tag-iran","tag-middle-east-tensions","tag-war-against-iran"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.0 -
