Gaza's medical evacuations were suspended for a second day as the Israeli military vowed to protect its borders, while Iran's defense chief warned of a potential attack from the US and Israel. The Health Ministry confirmed the halt, citing ongoing security concerns, as tensions remain high in the region.
Meanwhile, the US has denied visa requests for members of Iran's UN delegation, including President Masoud Pezeshkian's communications team, ahead of their participation in the UN General Assembly. Iranian state media reported the refusal, highlighting growing diplomatic friction.
Analysts suggest the visa denial could be part of broader efforts to limit Iran's influence in international forums, especially as the US considers military options against Iranian-backed groups. The situation underscores the fragile balance of power in the Middle East.
Iran's military leadership has reiterated its readiness to defend the country, emphasizing its strategic interests in the region. The developments come amid heightened fears of renewed conflict, with both sides closely monitoring each other's actions.
