Israeli attacks have killed at least three Palestinians,
including a 15-year-old boy and a medical student,
as the regime continues its genocidal war and
violations of the "ceasefire" in Gaza.
Medical sources said on Friday that the 15-year-old boy
was killed by Israeli army gunfire in the Al-Mawasi
area of Khan Yunis, in southern Gaza.
In Gaza City, another Palestinian, identified as Nabil Hamad,
died from wounds sustained... in an Israeli attack several
days earlier in the al-Blakhiyah area of Al-Shati refugee
camp, according to a medical source at
Al-Shifa Hospital.
Sara Abu Jiyab - a resident of Al-Shati camp, and a
medical student at the Islamic University of Gaza,
also succumbed to injuries sustained in an
earlier Israeli airstrike ----- targeting the
university campus in late October.
Separately, Israeli forces opened heavy fire toward
Al-Mawasi area northwest of Rafah --- with bullets
reaching tents sheltering displaced Palestinians,
according to witnesses.
The latest casualties come - as Israeli forces continue to
violate the so-called ceasefire agreement, killing 1,602
Palestinians and injuring a further 5,799.
Hamas calls for intl. pressure on
Israel to honour Gaza ceasefire
A UN Commission of Inquiry report published on
October 26 concluded that Israel continued to
commit acts of genocide in Gaza - even after
the "ceasefire" took effect in October 2025,
citing continued attacks and an expansion
of Israeli control over the territory.
Since October 2023, Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza
has killed about 74,600 Palestinians and wounded
over 175,000 others, while causing widespread
destruction of civilian infrastructure across
the besieged territory.

No more - ‘paper commitments’: Official says Iran
seeks concrete US action before new diplomacy
November 6, 2:02pm GMT
(PressTV)
A senior Iranian security official says Tehran
requires concrete US actions, rather than
paper commitments, before resuming a
new phase of diplomacy.
A senior Iranian security official says Tehran will no longer
rely on “paper commitments” from the United States and
must see concrete actions from Washington before
opening a new chapter in diplomacy.
Deputy Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council
(SNSC) Ali Bagheri Kani made the remarks in an interview
with the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB)
on Friday.
“It is the Islamic Republic of Iran’s right not to settle for US
commitments on paper when considering entering a new
phase of diplomacy,” he said.
“We must see practical measures by the Americans, and this
is only natural. Once these actions are implemented, the
groundwork will be laid for a new diplomatic opening.”
He emphasized that Iran’s seven-condition operational
proposal should be implemented by the other side in
any negotiations before further steps are pursued.
Bagheri noted that the United States had derailed four
rounds of diplomatic efforts through “hostile” actions
and breaches of commitments over the past year
and a half.
Tensions between Iran and the US remain high. The latest
round of US-Israeli attacks on Iran began on February 28,
prompting Tehran to launch daily missile & drone strikes
against US and Israeli military targets across the region
before Tehran and Washington signed the Islamabad
Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on June 17.
However, the MoU collapsed within nearly three weeks after
the US violated its commitments, launched fresh strikes on
Iran's southern provinces and prompted Iran to stage
another wave of retaliatory missile and drone
attacks and re-impose restrictions over the
Strait of Hormuz.
Iran-Russia strategic cooperation
Pointing to the day-long visit by the SNSC Secretary Major
General Mohsen Rezaei to Russia and his "three-hour"
meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin on
Thursday, Bagheri said engagement with
international powers - is a key
component of Iran’s active
and targeted diplomacy.
“As part of the Islamic Republic of Iran’s purposeful and
active diplomacy, for consultations and exchanges of
views with other regional and extra-regional actors,
engagement with international powers, is one of
the main components at the current juncture,”
the security official reiterated.
During a meeting at the Kremlin, Rezaei delivered a message
from Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed
Mojtaba Khamenei.... to the Russian president.
"The message outlined the Islamic Republic of Iran’s priorities
for bilateral cooperation and set out a vision for the future of
such cooperation & engagement, with the aim of giving the
Russian side, a clearer understanding of what cooperation
with Iran will look like - under the leadership of Ayatollah
Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei," added Bagheri.
Rezaei and Putin also discussed bilateral strategic relations,
regional and international developments, and prospects
for expanding cooperation.
Bagheri further explained that Iran and Russia had maintained
diverse forms of cooperation for decades, adding that the
strategic projects between the two countries --- will
thwart the “wishful thinking” of certain powers,
including the United States, seeking to
exert pressure on Iran.
The implementation of strategic projects between Tehran
and Moscow will make other countries increasingly
dependent on Iran, he added.
The SNSC deputy chief --- said that regional security
arrangements - are currently supported by Russia,
China and countries across the region, stressing
the need ---- to create the conditions for their
implementation through consultations
with various regional actors.
“It is natural that.... in order to pursue the lofty goals of
the Islamic Republic of Iran and protect our national
interests - national security, national sovereignty,
and territorial integrity, we must be prepared,”
Bagheri added.
He stressed the need for a strategic approach to
regional affairs, security-building and regional
security arrangements, saying Iran must
work - to elevate its position as one
of the world's important powers
...through wise measures and
the strategic guidelines of
Ayatollah Khamenei.
“Within this framework ----- we must be able to steer our
efforts and continue our strategic consultations with
various countries and actors --- particularly with
international powers --- including two major
powers.... Russia and China,” Bagheri
pointed out.
