Israel-Iran air war enters second week as missile attacks continue
Ammon News - Iran said on Friday it would not discuss the future of its nuclear programme while under attack by Israel, as Europe sought to draw Tehran back into negotiations and the United States considers whether to get involved in the conflict. Israel began attacking Iran last Friday, saying it wanted to prevent its longtime enemy from developing nuclear weapons. Iran, which says its nuclear programme is only for peaceful purposes, retaliated with missile and drone strikes on Israel. The White House said on Thursday that President Donald Trump would decide on U.S. action in the next two weeks. Israeli air attacks have killed 639 people in Iran, the Human Rights Activists News Agency said, with those killed including the military's top echelon and nuclear scientists. Israel has said at least two dozen Israeli civilians have died in Iranian missile attacks. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said there was no room for negotiations with Israel's superpower ally the United States, which he called a partner in crime, "until Israeli aggression stops".

King delivers address at European Parliament
Ammon News - His Majesty King Abdullah II delivered an address at the European Parliament's headquarters in Strasbourg, France on Tuesday. In the address, His Majesty noted that with Israel expanding its offensive to include Iran, it is now impossible to know where the boundaries of this battle will end, threatening people everywhere. The King said that what is happening in Gaza is contrary to international law, moral standards and shared values, especially as violations continue in the West Bank, and the situation is worsening by the day. His Majesty noted that Palestinians deserve the rights to freedom and sovereignty, and to establish their own independent state. The King said the world is experiencing wave after wave of turmoil, becoming 'untethered—like it has lost its moral gravity', noting that these junctures of history are critical moments that require the world to cling to its values and not abandon them. His Majesty added that true security lies not in the power of armies, but in the power of shared values, and peace imposed by force or fear will never last. The King touched on the founding of the European Union, when Europe's choices helped shape a more stable, principled world, highlighting that Jordan's firm belief in the shared values of the three monotheistic religions is rooted in its history and heritage, which drives the Kingdom's national principles of tolerance and mutual respect. His Majesty added that these values are at the heart of the Hashemite Custodianship of Muslim and Christian holy sites in Jerusalem, whose historical and multi-religious identity Jordan has vowed to protect from any attack.

The ministry is also working in close coordination with the Public Security Directorate (PSD) and Civil Defense to respond quickly to any health or technical emergencies. Special arrangements have also been made for students with disabilities, including specially equipped exam halls at the King Hussein Cancer Center (KHCC) and within correctional and rehabilitation centers.
