The recent meeting between Hassan Nasrallah of Hezbollah and Khalil al-Hayya of Hamas, reported by Al Mayadeen news, focused on Gaza developments, ceasefire talks, and broader regional issues.
The encounter emphasised solidarity within the Iran-aligned "axis of resistance" against Israel.
Escalating tensions include Hezbollah's attacks on northern Israel and Israel's warnings of military action in southern Lebanon.
A senior Hezbollah commander's death led to rocket strikes on Israel, intensifying the conflict, with both sides employing advanced weaponry.
The situation remains precarious along the Israel-Lebanon border.
Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has rejected claims that groups like Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis act as proxy forces for Tehran. Speaking on Sunday, Khamenei emphasized that these groups operate independently based on their own interests and decisions, while acknowledging Iran’s support for their causes. Hezbollah in Lebanon, Hamas in Palestine, and the Houthis in Yemen are often accused by Western nations of serving as Iran’s regional proxies to expand its influence. However, Khamenei dismissed such accusations, stressing that these organizations are motivated by local grievances and ideological commitments, not Iranian directives.

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has issued a bold proclamation, predicting the inevitable elimination of Israel while asserting that Hezbollah remains an indomitable force. In a powerful address, Khamenei dismissed the belief held by the U.S., Israel, and their allies that regional resistance has been weakened, calling it a grave miscalculation.

In a shocking revelation, Kamal Kharrazi, a senior adviser to Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has raised alarm bells with his recent statements hinting at a possible shift in Iran's nuclear policy. Speaking to the Hezbollah-affiliated channel Al-Mayadeen, Kharrazi suggested that if Iran perceives an "existential threat," it might reconsider its longstanding ban on nuclear weapons development. This announcement comes amid escalating tensions with Israel and follows a history of warnings from Iranian officials regarding military responses to Israeli actions. Kharrazi underscored Iran's technical capabilities to produce nuclear weapons, emphasising that only a fatwa from Khamenei currently restrains such developments. The statement adds fuel to fears of a nuclear arms race in the region, as Khamenei has consistently maintained that building nuclear bombs is both wrong and religiously forbidden

Russian President Vladimir Putin has issued a stern warning to Ukraine following a dramatic 9/11-style drone attack on Kazan, the capital of Tatarstan. The December 21 assault, involving eight drones, targeted residential buildings and an industrial facility, causing significant damage but no casualties. In response, Putin vowed harsh retaliation, promising that those responsible "will face many times greater destruction in their own country" and "will regret" their actions. He assured Tatarstan's leader, Rustam Minnikhanov, that all damages would be swiftly repaired. The Russian Defense Ministry reported that the attack was carried out in three waves using fixed-wing drones, with air defenses intercepting three and electronic warfare systems neutralizing another three. This unprecedented assault, deep within Russian territory and 1,379 kilometers from Ukraine, has escalated tensions further, drawing sharp condemnation from Moscow.
