After Trump’s warning, Spain agreed to cooperate with America
America has said that Spain is now ready to cooperate with America in the ongoing military operations in the Middle East. This decision came to light when US President Donald Trump gave a stern warning to Spain. White House press secretary Carolyn Levitt said Spain has “clearly heard” Trump’s message and is now ready to coordinate with the US military. He said that the armies of both the countries are now talking to each other and working on further strategy.
In fact, earlier Spain’s Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Albares had said that his country will not allow America to use the joint military bases in Spain for attacks that do not come under the rules of the United Nations. After this statement, President Trump gave a strong reaction. He had said that if Spain did not cooperate, America could end trade relations with it. After this warning of Trump, there was intense talks between the two countries. Now the White House says that Spain has decided to cooperate.

Israel orders evacuation of villages in southern Lebanon, attacks intensify
Amidst the increasing war in the Middle East, Israel has ordered the people of several villages in southern Lebanon to immediately evacuate the area. The Israeli army has warned that people living near the border should immediately move to the north of the Litani River, as there could be major military attacks there. This order comes at a time when Israeli air strikes have intensified in and around Beirut and many areas of southern Lebanon. At least 70 people have been killed and more than 400 injured in the latest attacks, according to Lebanese health officials. Thousands of people are leaving their homes and going to safe places.
The conflict escalated when Hezbollah launched rocket and drone attacks on northern Israel. In response, Israel carried out several air strikes and also sent additional troops to the border. It is not yet clear whether Israel is preparing a major ground attack in southern Lebanon or not. A missile attack also hit a hotel in the Hazmiyeh area near Beirut. People present there told that suddenly there was a huge explosion and the entire area shook. Many people were injured and nearby buildings were also damaged.

America said- the stockpile of weapons for war is strong
The US Army has said that it has enough weapons and ammunition for the ongoing military campaign against Iran. This information was given by America’s top military officials. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Dan Kane, told reporters that the US military’s preparations are complete and sufficient resources are available to continue the operation. US Defense Minister Pete Hegseth said that America had used more advanced weapons at the beginning of the war. But now that America has gained control over Iran’s airspace, ordinary gravity bombs are also being used.
He said that the stockpile of advanced weapons is still in a very strong condition. That means they can be used again when needed. American officials say that the military operation is being planned in such a way that the supply of weapons is not affected. Experts believe that if the war drags on, the management of weapons and military resources will be extremely important.

Iran asks Iraq to stop opposition groups on the border
Iran has appealed to Iraq to prevent anti-Iran groups present in its territory from crossing the border. According to an Iraqi official, this request was made by a senior Iranian official during a phone conversation. It was reported that Iran’s National Security Council Deputy Secretary Ali Bagheri spoke to Iraq’s National Security Advisor Qasim al-Arzi. In this conversation, he said that the activities of anti-Iran organizations present in Iraq should be controlled.
Iran alleges that these opposition groups try to infiltrate its border from time to time and pose a threat to the country’s security. In the current war situation, Iran fears that such groups may take advantage of the situation and spread unrest. There is a long border between Iraq and Iran and there has been security cooperation between the two countries. But there are many political and armed groups inside Iraq which are in conflict with Iran.

Iraq’s leading Shia cleric condemns attack on Iran
Iraq’s most influential Shia cleric, Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, has strongly condemned the attacks on Iran. He said that attacking any country that is a member of the United Nations without the approval of the United Nations is a violation of international law. Sistani said such military attacks promote instability and chaos throughout the region. He believes that this war will not be limited to Iran only but can affect the entire Middle East countries. He warned that if the conflict continued, it could lead to prolonged unrest.
Sistani, who lives in the holy city of Najaf in Iraq, is considered one of the most influential Shia religious leaders in the world. His ideas impact not only Iraq but the entire Shia community. He also said that the biggest loss of war is to the common people. Therefore, the international community should take initiative to stop this conflict as soon as possible. Sistani has appealed to all parties to exercise restraint and find a solution through dialogue.
