March 28 (Reuters) – Israel struck Beirut’s so

March 28 (Reuters) – Israel struck Beirut’s southern suburbs on Friday for the first time since a cease fire with Lebanon’s Hezbollah in November that ended more than a year of fighting in parallel to the Gaza war.

Here are some key events.

2023:

Oct. 8 – Iran-backed Hezbollah starts firing rockets at Israeli military positions in support of its ally Hamas, a day after the Palestinian militant group led a wide-ranging attack on southern Israel.

Israeli airstrikes pound border areas of south Lebanon and attack sites in the Bekaa valley, while Hezbollah strikes northern Israel. Hezbollah says there will be no ceasefire with Israel until the war in Gaza ends.

In subsequent weeks, tens of thousands of people flee homes on both sides of the border. Both sides signal they do not want an escalation and keep exchanges mostly near the border area.

Nov. 24-Dec. 1 – Hostilities between Israeli forces and Hezbollah militants are paused during a week-long ceasefire in Gaza, then resume.

2024:

Jan. 2 – Hamas deputy leader Saleh al-Arouri is killed by a drone in Beirut in an attack widely attributed to Israel.

Jan. 8 – Israel kills top Hezbollah commander Wissam Tawil in a strike in south Lebanon. More than 130 Hezbollah fighters have been killed in hostilities since Oct. 7.

By Jana Choukeir
DUBAI, March 27 (Reuters) – The Israeli military said on Thursday it had intercepted two missiles launched from Yemen before they crossed into Israeli territory, after sirens sounded in several areas in Israel including Jerusalem.

Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthis have been launching missiles and drones at Israel in support of Hamas fighters. The United States has been striking Houthi strongholds in Yemen since March 15, with President Donald Trump vowing to hold Iran responsible for any attacks carried out by the group.

The Houthis said later on Thursday that they had launched two missiles, one of which they said was hypersonic, towards Israel‘s main air gateway, Ben Gurion airport, and an unspecified military target in the Tel Aviv area.

The group also claimed to have launched missiles and drones towards warships in the Red Sea, including the Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier.

Italy’s ITA Airways said it had to divert one of its flights because of the missiles, and that the flight landed in Tel Aviv safely.

The Houthis are an armed movement that has taken control of the most populous parts of Yemen despite nearly a decade of Saudi-led bombing.

The group is also part of what Iran calls the “Axis of Resistance” – a network of anti-Israel, anti-Western regional militias that also includes the Palestinian militant group Hamas and Lebanon’s Hezbollah, whose capabilities Israel significantly reduced in an air and ground campaign last year.

Iran’s Nowruz Celebration: An Interview with Dr. Jessica Emami

On Thursday, March 20, Iranians gathered at significant historical sites across the country to celebrate Nowruz, the Persian New Year, while also calling for the restoration of the monarchy. The crowds chanted the name of Reza Shah, the founder of the Pahlavi Dynasty, who played a crucial role in modernizing Iran a century ago.

In his annual Nowruz address, the leader of the Islamic Republic, Ali Khamenei, did not utter one word about the ancient Persian celebration. Instead, he criticized the United States and addressed issues related to Gaza and Yemen. He also underscored his government’s backing for Lebanon and Palestine, framing them as symbols of resilience.

In an interview with Kayhan Life, Dr. Jessica Emami—an adjunct professor of sociology at American University—shared her insights into the importance of Nowruz festivities in Iran. She pointed out the widening disconnect between the regime and the public’s needs, highlighted the ongoing strikes among labor unions stemming from a deepening economic crisis, and emphasized the crucial role of youth in shaping the country’s future. Dr. Emami also touched on the growing support for Prince Reza Pahlavi (@officialrezapahlavi) and his potential to help overturn the Islamic Republic.

Previously, Dr. Emami was the lead investigator for the National Survey of Iranian Americans, conducted by the Public Affairs Alliance of Iranian Americans (PAAIA @paaia) in 2013 and 2014. She has also been actively involved with various nonprofit organizations, including the American Center for Labor Solidarity (Solidarity Center/AFL-CIO), the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI), and Public Knowledge.

DUBAI, March 27 (Reuters) – Iran has sent a resp

DUBAI, March 27 (Reuters) – Iran has sent a response through Oman to U.S. President Donald Trump’s letter in which he urged Tehran to reach a new nuclear deal, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi was cited as saying by the official IRNA news agency on Thursday.

“Our policy is still to not engage in direct negotiations while under maximum pressure and military threats, however, as it was the case in the past, indirect negotiations can continue”, IRNA cited Araqchi as saying.

Earlier on Thursday, Kamal Kharrazi, an adviser to Iran’s supreme leader, said that Tehran has not closed all doors to resolve its disputes with the United States and is ready for indirect negotiations with Washington.

Tehran has so far rebuffed Trump’s warning to make a deal or face military consequences. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei called the message deceptive and Araqchi said talks are impossible unless Washington changes its “maximum pressure” policy.

“The Islamic Republic has not closed all doors. It is ready for indirect negotiations with the United States in order to evaluate the other party, state its own conditions and make the appropriate decision,” Kharrazi said, according to state media.

“Our response includes a letter in which we detailed our views on the current situation and Mr. Trump’s letter”, Araqchi said on Thursday.

In his first 2017-21 term, Trump withdrew the U.S. from a 2015 deal between Iran and world powers that placed strict limits on Tehran’s disputed nuclear activities in exchange for sanctions relief.

After Trump pulled out in 2018 and reimposed sweeping U.S. sanctions, the Islamic Republic breached and has since far surpassed those limits in its escalating program of uranium enrichment.

Western powers accuse Iran of having an clandestine agenda to develop nuclear weapons capability by enriching uranium to a high level of fissile purity, above what they say is justifiable for a civilian atomic energy program.

Tehran says its nuclear program is wholly for civilian energy purposes.
