Tensions between Israel and the UN have intensified as Israel condemned UN special rapporteur Francesca Albanese's claims of genocide in Gaza, accusing her of political activism and anti-Israel bias.

Meanwhile, Iranian Defense Minister Aziz Nasirzadeh asserts that Iran's missile production remains unharmed by recent Israeli airstrikes, despite conflicting reports suggesting damage to critical facilities.

In an effort to de-escalate regional tensions, the United States is mediating a proposed 60-day ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah, aiming to enforce UN Security Council Resolution 1701 from 2006.

However, the conflict with Hezbollah shows no sign of slowing, as the group has launched a drone strike on an Israeli military base near Haifa, marking another incident in the ongoing hostilities.

In domestic matters, Iran has appointed Mansour Bijar as the first Baluch governor in the ethnically tense Sistan-Baluchistan province, a move toward inclusivity in governance following the appointment of governors from other minority groups.

Finally, Jordan has condemned a deadly Israeli airstrike in Gaza as a "new massacre," calling on the UN Security Council to take action against what it describes as continued violations by Israel.
