According to a report by Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Jarida, Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian has successfully convinced Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei to delay a planned attack on Israel. The postponement comes after the US established an emergency hotline with Iran over the weekend, urging Tehran to delay its retaliation for the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh by at least two weeks.

The Israeli government has taken steps to block the Hezbollah-affiliated news network al Mayadeen, citing national security concerns. Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi has signed an order to confiscate the network’s equipment and block its websites, effectively shutting down its operations in Israel. The move comes after an al Mayadeen reporter broadcast from Majdal Shams, a day after a rocket attack by Hezbollah killed 12 children in the Golan Heights. The reporter’s presence was seen as a blatant disregard for Israel’s security and sovereignty. This is not the first time Israel has attempted to shut down al Mayadeen. In November, the security cabinet voted to close the network under emergency regulations, but the measure expired in January.
