Iran – The Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, Ali Larijani, has declared today that the Islamic Republic will not negotiate with the US, after some information appeared in the public space that seemed to indicate a certain availability of Tehran for talks with Washington, the press agencies report. ‘Trump has thrown the region into chaos with his illusory dreams and is now worried about the new losses among the American forces’ added the Iranian official, in a reaction to a piece of information posted by the Al Jazeera television channel. This, citing the Wall Street Journal, had reported on an alleged initiative by Larijani to resume talks with Washington. Iran continues to be bombed since, on Saturday, the US and Israel coordinated a joint attack in which the Iranian supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, and other senior government officials in Tehran were killed. The Islamic Republic responded with a wave of missile and drone attacks on Israel, as well as on US allies in the region that host US military bases, such as Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates. Several explosions were heard on Monday in Jerusalem, where sirens were sounded after the army announced that Iranian missiles had been fired at Israel, AFP reported. On the other hand, the Israeli army said it had begun a new wave of airstrikes targeting the Hezbollah group in Lebanon, after ordering the evacuation of dozens of towns in the south of the country and bombarding the capital Beirut in response to an offensive by the Shiite group against northern Israel.
