Iran’s security chief: US claims
of Qatar talks ‘pure lie,’ meant
to lower oil prices
November 10th, 5:46pm GMT
(PressTV)
The Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council
(SNSC) Major General Mohsen Rezaei has denied outright
recent claims by Washington regarding ongoing
negotiations or the holding of meetings
in Qatar.
In an exclusive interview with Al Mayadeen TV on Tuesday,
General Rezaei said the US is fabricating these “pure lies”
solely with the objective of reducing economic pressure
and lowering global oil prices.
“The Americans' claim about continuing negotiations
or holding a meeting in Qatar ---- is a pure lie.”
He reiterated Iran's firm stance -- on the strategic Strait of
Hormuz, noting that Tehran has presented seven specific
conditions as the undeniable rights of the Iranian nation.
“Until these conditions are fully implemented,
the Strait of Hormuz will not be reopened.”
Iran has already communicated its conditions to the
US side, General Rezaei confirmed, but questioned
Washington’s reaction.
“Their initial response was insufficient -- and deceptive,
and we are still waiting for an explicit, clear response.”
The Iranian security chief also dismissed widespread
rumours about a planned meeting between him and
Vice President JD Vance, describing the
speculations as ------- "completely
baseless and false."
"I emphasize that at the present moment, we are not
conducting any negotiations with the Americans,
and there are no negotiations between us
and Washington."
There has been a wave of media speculation initiated
by Western outlets..... regarding potential diplomatic
breakthroughs between Washington and Tehran.
The closure of the Strait of Hormuz by Iranian forces
has severely disrupted global energy markets,
sending oil prices skyrocketing, triggering
a massive economic shockwave.
This energy crisis has disproportionately damaged
Western economies and fueled severe domestic
inflation in the United States.
The Trump administration, already reeling from a
disastrous midterm election defeat driven by
voter anger over the war's economic toll,
is desperate to artificially suppress
oil prices.
The US has -- repeatedly -- attempted to use Qatari
mediators to bypass direct diplomatic humiliation.
Recently, JD Vance sent a letter to Iranian officials
via Doha, proposing a framework for talks. Iranian
officials dismissed it as "unconvincing."
Tehran has made it clear that any dialogue is entirely
contingent upon Washington first accepting Iran's
seven non-negotiable conditions.
These prerequisites include the complete lifting of
sanctions, the payment of war reparations, and
an end to all regional hostilities.

‘Surprises to come one after another’:
Top commander warns enemies as
Iran .....unveils new missile city
November 10th, 1:40pm GMT
(PressTV)
The Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Major General
Ali Abdollahi, has warned the enemies ---- that surprises will
emerge, one after another, in any potential future war.
General Abdollahi issued the warning during the unveiling
ceremony of a new missile city belonging to the
Aerospace Force on Tuesday.
The Iranian commander praised the role of the armed forces
in defending the Islamic Republic, describing the personnel
of the Aerospace Force of the Islamic Revolution Guards
Corps (IRGC) and their fellow servicemen across the
military as “the true heroes of this country.”
Iran, General Abdollahi said, has achieved a remarkable feat
in confronting its enemies. The United States had never
employed such a volume of munitions and military
equipment in any other war, over a comparable
period, particularly involving such advanced
weaponry, he said.
“Surprises in the next war will be
revealed ......one after another.”
revealed ......one after another.”
The newly unveiled facility offers a glimpse into another part
of the missile infrastructure of the IRGC Aerospace Force,
which supports the operational capabilities of missile
units and helps maintain their readiness to counter
potential threats.
Addressing the factors behind Washington’s failure and regret
over its actions, Abdollahi said the decisive factor was not
weapons, equipment or military resources ------- but the
determination of the people defending the country.
determination of the people defending the country.
“The will of fighters like you and General Seyyed Majid
Mousavi” was what brought about the adversary’s
failure, he said, in reference to Brigadier General
Seyyed Majid Mousavi, the commander of the
IRGC Aerospace Force.
The commander said the armed forces will stand firm
against any enemy, regardless of its size or military
capabilities, adding that adversaries’ calculations
would never determine Iran’s decisions ---- or
undermine its resolve.
Reacting to recent claims by Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu, who said either Israel must
destroy Iran, or Iran would destroy Israel,
Abdollahi said the statement....
was nothing new.
Benjamin Netanyahu, who said either Israel must
destroy Iran, or Iran would destroy Israel,
Abdollahi said the statement....
was nothing new.
“We will certainly destroy them,” he declared, adding that
Israel and the United States had already tested their
capabilities and entered the confrontation with
everything at their disposal but had failed
to achieve their objectives.
General Abdollahi said the enemies had sought to destroy
the Islamic Republic but had failed, describing the United
States and the Israeli regime, as the definitive losers on
the battlefield.
The United States and the Israeli regime waged their first
illegal war against Iran, which lasted 12 days, in June
2025. Their second aggression began on February
28, 2026, and came to a halt in early April after
40 days.
In both wars, Iran’s resistance -- and decisive retaliatory
operations forced the aggressors to accept a ceasefire.
Iran has also maintained a tight grip on the Strait
of Hormuz since the early days of the second
imposed war ....amid acts of mischief by
Washington in the region.

Report: 564,000 Gaza children - are living in
‘critical or catastrophic’ shelter conditions

An estimated 564,000 children in the besieged Gaza Strip are
now living in “critical or catastrophic” shelter conditions as
rains flood the camps designated for the displaced in the
Palestinian coastal territory, Save the Children warns.
Over three years after Israel launched its genocidal war on the
impoverished Palestinian territory, which has led to the near-
total destruction of the region and the killing of more than
70,000 Palestinians, children in the besieged territory
are still living in “critical or catastrophic” shelter
conditions, Save the Children said in a report.
More than half a million children in Gaza are now facing their
4th winter in torn tents or makeshift shelters, many burning
garbage to stay warm, as Israel's restrictions continue to
block the entry of materials needed to keep them safe
from cold and flooding, stated the London-based
international non-governmental organization
on Sunday.
“In the past three years, children have died from hypothermia
in Gaza. These were completely preventable deaths. As the
occupying power, Israel has a legal obligation to ensure
civilians receive the supplies they need to survive.
Instead, it is depriving families of the most basic
means to protect their children, and it must be
held accountable for any child deaths that
result,” said Ahmad Alhendawi, Regional
Director for the Middle East, North
Africa and Eastern Europe, Save
the Children International.
He further slammed the Israeli regime for blocking the entry
of desperately needed materials and aid supplies waiting
at the enclave’s border.
“Tents, shelter kits and fuel are waiting at Gaza’s borders
while children sleep in floodwater, because the Israeli
authorities are blocking their entry. This is a choice,
and children - are paying the price. More than a
year into the so-called ceasefire, it has failed
to protect the Palestinian children,”
Alhendawi said.
The occupying entity has repeatedly blocked the caravans
the ceasefire promised...... as an alternative to tents.
Citing a recent assessment by the Palestine Shelter Cluster,
the report noted that these 564,000 children are among 1.2
million Gazans - roughly 58 percent of the population - who
are currently living in “critical or catastrophic” shelter
conditions, with many families crowded into flimsy
tents or makeshift shelters that have deteriorated
after years of exposure to harsh weather, their
repeated dismantling and constant rebuilding.
The assessment further revealed that some 48 percent of
those surveyed in Gaza are resorting to burning plastic,
tires, garbage, or cardboard to cook, with 84 percent
saying ------- they have no effective way to heat
their shelters.
“The toxic fumes released by burning these materials can
cause serious health problems, including respiratory
illnesses, smoke inhalation, and carbon monoxide
poisoning, as well as fires and burns. In crowded
camps and poorly ventilated shelters, children
are particularly vulnerable,” Save the Children
warned, adding that winter clothing covers
just 1 percent of the over 1 million people
who need it.
According to the report, 464,000 Gazans live in sites that
are at high risk of flooding, with 60 percent of the $283
million needed for winter ...unfunded.
Last winter, hypothermia killed at least 11 children in the
besieged territory, Save the Children further said.
