The UN Security Council will meet tomorrow, at Iran’s request, to discuss Israeli raids against Tehran. Al Jazeera writes it.

Iran, US complicity in Israeli actions is “evident”.
“The United States collaborated with the Zionist regime in recent attacks against Iran, providing the regime with a space corridor and equipping it with defense systems. Therefore, Iran believes that US complicity in Israeli moves in the region is of everything is evident,” Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said on Sunday. “Israel has no power in the region without the help of the United States, and the Americans are certainly involved in all the regime’s aggressions in Gaza, Lebanon and other countries,” Araghchi added, quoted by IRNA, also underlining that “Even through its political support, the United States has not allowed any statement to be issued against Israel in any international body.”

Israel’s raid on Gaza and Lebanon, talks in Doha
In the aftermath of the ‘targeted’ attack in Iran, Israel continues to incessantly bomb Hezbollah strongholds in Lebanon and Hamas fighters in the Gaza Strip. In an explosive context, which raises fears of escalation in the Middle East, new negotiations are expected today in Doha between Israelis, Americans and Qataris to discuss the possibility of a truce in Gaza associated with the release of the hostages kidnapped during the attack on 7 October 2023.
There will be two official ceremonies for the first Jewish anniversary of October 7, 2023, the day of the unprecedented attack by the Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas on Israeli soil, which triggered the war in Gaza with a devastating Israeli retaliatory offensive.
However, the war continues and on Israel’s southern front witnesses have reported numerous attacks in the northern Gaza Strip, particularly in Jabaliawhere the Israeli army has been conducting a land and air offensive since October 6 to prevent Hamas from reorganizing its forces. The army said it had “eliminated 40 terrorists in Jabalia” in the last 24 hours. On Israel’s northern front, in Lebanon, the Lebanese News Agency reported Israeli raids in the southern suburbs of Beirut and near Tyre, in the south of the country. The Israeli army said it had carried out “targeted” attacks on weapons production facilities and depots in the southern suburbs. He also added that he had “eliminated 70 Hezbollah terrorists and hit more than 120 targets” of the movement in the last 24 hours in southern Lebanon, on the border with northern Israel.
In addition to the aerial bombardments, the Israeli army has been conducting a ground offensive in southern Lebanon since September 30 with the aim of neutralizing the fighters of the Lebanese movement and stopping the rocket launches. And today was the announcement of four reservist soldiers who “fell in combat”.
