Ammon News - Russia has repeatedly told Israel that there is no evidence Iran is aiming to get nuclear weapons, Sky News Arabia on Saturday quoted Russian President Vladimir Putin as saying in an interview.

Xi calls for urgent ceasefire in Middle East
Chinese President Xi Jinping on Thursday emphasized the urgent need for a ceasefire in the Middle East, warning that the escalating conflict poses a serious threat to regional and global stability. Xi made the remarks during a phone conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin, in which the two leaders discussed the rapidly deteriorating situation in the region. Calling the current Middle East crisis 'highly perilous,' Xi said it reflects a broader global shift toward instability and transformation. He warned that continued escalation would cause greater suffering for those directly involved and could severely impact neighboring countries. Xi stressed that the use of force is not a legitimate method for resolving international disputes, as it only fuels hatred and confrontation. He urged all parties, especially 'Israel', to halt military operations immediately to prevent further escalation and regional spillover. Ensuring the safety of civilians must be the top priority, Xi said, adding that the red line of civilian protection must never be crossed, and the indiscriminate use of force is unacceptable. He called on all parties to adhere to international law, avoid harming civilians, and facilitate the safe evacuation of foreign nationals. Reaffirming China's commitment to peaceful resolution, Xi said dialogue and negotiation are the only viable paths toward long-term peace. He also underscored the need to return to a political solution regarding Iran's nuclear issue. Xi called on the international community, particularly influential powers, to take responsible steps to ease tensions, and urged the UN Security Council to play a more active role in promoting peace. China, he added, is ready to work with all parties to promote dialogue, uphold justice, and contribute constructively to restoring peace in the Middle East. Russian President Vladimir Putin echoed Xi's concerns, stating that 'Israel's' strike on Iranian nuclear facilities was "extremely dangerous." He emphasized that no one stands to gain from continued escalation and called for a diplomatic resolution to the Iranian nuclear issue. Putin also stressed the importance of protecting foreign nationals caught in the conflict and expressed Russia's readiness to coordinate closely with China to help reduce tensions and maintain regional stability.

Iran and 'Israel' exchange fire as US weighs direct military intervention
LIVE UPDATES | Iran and 'Israel' exchange fire as US weighs direct military intervention 1 'Israel' and Iran continue exchanging fire in aerial attacks since Friday morning, in a massive escalation that evolved into a direct confrontation between the longtime enemies after years of shadow wars. US President Donald Trump said Thursday he will decide whether to join 'Israel's' strikes on Iran within the next two weeks as there is still a "substantial" chance of negotiations to end the conflict. Iran and European diplomats said nuclear talks will be held in Geneva on Friday, bringing together top diplomats from Britain, France, Germany and the European Union as well as Tehran's Abbas Araghchi. The Wall Street Journal reported Trump has told aides he has approved attack plans but is holding off to see if Iran will give up its nuclear programme. Netanyahu told 'Israeli' public broadcaster Kan that 'Israel' had destroyed "more than half" of Iran's missile launchers since Friday. The death toll from Iranian missile strikes has risen to 25, after the body of a Ukrainian woman was recovered on Thursday from a building struck by an Iranian missile four days earlier in Bat Yam. Iran said Sunday that 'Israeli' strikes had killed at least 224 people, including military commanders, nuclear scientists and civilians. Authorities have not issued an updated toll since. Reports from observers estimate the Iranian death toll to be between 500-700. 23 minutes ago 'Very bad decision': US envoy warns Hezbollah of involvement in Iran-'Israel' war The US special envoy for Syria Tom Barrack warned Lebanese group Hezbollah on Thursday against getting involved in the war between its main backer Iran and 'Israel'. Barrack, who is also the US ambassador to Turkey, is on his first visit to Beirut, where he met top Lebanese officials including parliament speaker Nabih Berri, an ally of Hezbollah. "I can say on behalf of President (Donald) Trump... that would be a very, very, very bad decision," Barrack said after his meeting with Berri, responding to a question on what the US position would be on any involvement by Hezbollah in the war. In a statement, Hezbollah leader Naim Qassem said the group will "act as we see fit". "Tyrannical America and criminal Israel will not be able to subjugate the Iranian people and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps," Qassem said. Hezbollah, he added, still had "the responsibility to stand by Iran and provide it with all forms of support that contribute to putting an end to this tyranny and oppression". Hezbollah suffered devastating losses in its war against 'Israel' last year, which ended with a ceasefire agreement in November. 36 minutes ago WHO chief says 'attacks on health' in Iran-'Israel' conflict appalling The WHO's leader on Thursday denounced attacks on health facilities in the Iran-'Israel' war as "appalling", urging all sides to protect hospital buildings, staff and patients. "The escalation of hostilities between Israel and Iran is putting health facilities and access to health care at risk. The reports on the attacks on health so far are appalling," World Health Organization director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said on X. 37 minutes ago Netanyahu says 'all help welcome' in striking Iran's nuclear sites Benjamin Netanyahu said Thursday that he welcomed "all help" with destroying Iran's nuclear sites, nearly a week into major 'Israeli' air raids on the Islamic republic. 'Israel' is "capable of striking all of Iran's nuclear facilities" but "all help is welcome", Netanyahu told public broadcaster Kan, also saying that US President Donald Trump "will do what is good for for the United States, and I will do what is good for the State of Israel". 38 minutes ago Iran able to produce nuclear bomb in 'a couple of weeks': White House Iran could produce a nuclear weapon in the space of a "couple of weeks," the White House said Thursday, as US President Donald Trump debated whether to take military action against the Islamic republic. "Iran has all that it needs to achieve a nuclear weapon. All they need is a decision from the supreme leader to do that, and it would take a couple of weeks to complete the production of that weapon," White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters. 39 minutes ago Hezbollah chief says group will 'act as we see fit' in Iran-'Israel' war Hezbollah leader Naim Qassem said on Thursday that the group would "act as we see fit" in response to the ongoing war between its main backer Iran and 'Israel'. In a statement, Qassem said Hezbollah was "not neutral" in the conflict between the two regional superpowers, saying that the group would "act as we see fit in the face of this brutal Israeli-American aggression".
