Yemen fighting pushes nearly 3,000 to Djibouti in less than a week: UN    Nearly 3,000 people have fled Yemen for Djibouti in less than a week as escalating violence drives growing displacement within the country and across its borders, the UN refugee agency said Friday. “Refugees continue to arrive by boat through Obock, Khor Angar, Moulhoule and Godoria after difficult journeys in small vessels,” UNHCR representative in Djibouti Sandrine Desamours told reporters in Geneva, Anadolu Agency reported. More than half of those crossing the Bab el-Mandeb Strait are women and children, while some families have been displaced for a second time after previously fleeing Yemen during the 2015 crisis and later returning. UNHCR is preparing for at least 10,000 new arrivals but warned that capacity is rapidly diminishing. Markazi refugee village, designed for 5,000 people, was already hosting more than 2,700 Yemenis and 1,500 Eritreans. More than 100,000 people have also been displaced ins...

IRAN REJECTS LATEST CEASEFIRE PROPOSAL.(PHOTO)


 Iran rejects latest ceasefire proposal


Iran has rejected the latest ceasefire proposal, insisting on a permanent end to the conflict, according to state-run IRNA. The Iranian government conveyed its position to the United States through Pakistan, a key mediator. Mojtaba Ferdousi Pour, head of Iran’s diplomatic mission in Cairo, said Monday, “We only accept an end of the war with guarantees that we won’t be attacked again.”

The rejection comes as U.S. President Donald Trump’s Monday-night deadline for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz approaches. Trump warned that failure to comply would lead to strikes on Iran’s power plants and other infrastructure, prompting Iranian parliamentary Speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf to call the threats “reckless.” Trump is scheduled to address the situation from the White House on Monday afternoon.

Tensions escalated further as Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz announced an attack on Iran’s South Pars petrochemical plant at Asaluyeh. This follows a previous strike on South Pars facilities in March, which had triggered Iranian retaliation against oil and gas infrastructure in Gulf Arab states.

Iran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard also suffered key losses. Maj. Gen. Majid Khademi, head of intelligence for the Revolutionary Guard, was killed, with Israel claiming responsibility. Israel’s military said it also killed Asghar Bakeri, the leader of the Guard’s undercover Quds Force unit.

A coordinated wave of U.S. and Israeli attacks on Monday reportedly killed more than 25 people in Iran, prompting retaliatory missile strikes by Iran targeting Israel and its Gulf Arab neighbors. The region remains on high alert as diplomatic and military tensions continue to rise.
