Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, in an article published in the British newspaper "The Guardian":

- The United Kingdom, France, and Germany made a grave mistake by reimposing sanctions against Iran.

- Europe is wrong to follow Trump's strategy; we are open to diplomacy to reach a new nuclear deal.

- The troika's activation of the "trigger mechanism" lacks any legal basis and ignores the events that led Iran to take corrective measures.

- I warned my troika counterparts that their maneuvers will not achieve the result they seek.

- What the three countries did will only further marginalize them, excluding them from future diplomacy with negative consequences.

- The three European countries must change their destructive approach to escape a lose-lose game.

- Europe's current policies have many negative consequences for Europe's credibility and global standing.

Defense Minister Israel Katz says the Israeli strikes on Yemen a short while ago targeted Houthi military camps where operatives were gathered.

"We promised more strikes, and today we dealt another painful blow to the Houthi terror organization in Yemen," says Katz in a statement.

"The IDF has just struck in Sanaa and other locations across Yemen, targeting military camps manned by Houthi operatives, including the Houthi propaganda apparatus," he says.

"The long arm of the State of Israel will reach and strike terrorism wherever it exists and from wherever a threat is posed to our citizens," Katz adds.
