Iran’s Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif has ridiculed the administration of US President Donald Trump for attempting to take credit for “defeating” a notorious terror group of Washington’s own making in the Middle East.

World nations and prominent international rights groups have joined voices with Syria to condemn the recent decision by US President Donald Trump to recognize Israel’s “sovereignty” over the Golan Heights, which have been under the regime’s occupation since 1967.

In a move that is expected to stir more tensions with Russia, the US military has test-launched a ground-based missile defense system that Russian President Vladimir Putin once famously said would “destroy” the strategic balance in the world.

The Israeli army has bombed several areas across the Gaza Strip, with Palestinian resistance groups responding by firing rockets from the besieged territory.

Iran's President Hassan Rouhani has put all governors, governors general and officials in all Iranian provinces on full alert as widespread flooding continues in many parts of the country.

Special counsel Robert Mueller’s findings have failed to implicate US President Donald Trump in collusion with Russia during the 2016 presidential campaigning.

US President Donald Trump has only made the resistance front more resolute against the Israeli regime and its supporters following his remarks in recognition of Israel's "sovereignty" over the occupied Golan Heights, says a senior advisor to Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei.

Israeli authorities say a long-range rocket launched from the Gaza Strip has struck an area near Tel Aviv in central Israel, wounding seven people in the first such incident since a 2014 war on the Palestinian enclave.

Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei has called on officials and the nation to assist the flood-affected people of the two northern Iranian provinces of Golestan and Mazandaran.
