LONDON: British Foreign Minister Boris Johnson said London was concerned at Iran’s role in a confrontation at Israel’s border with Syria.
“We are concerned at the Iranian actions, which detract from efforts to get a genuine peace process under way,” Johnson said in a statement on Monday.
“We encourage Russia to use its influence to press the regime and its backers to avoid provocative actions and to support de-escalation in pursuit of a broader political settlement,” he said.
Foreign Secretary Johnson was referring to the events two days ago that led to the downing of an Iranian drone after it entered Israeli air space from Syria, and the shooting down of an Israeli F-16 by a surface to air missile early saturday. The retaliation raids that followed struck 12 targets in Syria among them regime air defense installations, and 3 positions for Iranian revolutionary deep inside Syria.

Yemen's Prosecutor General forms committee to investigate Aidarous Al-Zubaidi
- Before fleeing Yemen on January 7, Zubaidi used to head the now dissolved Southern Transitional Council (STC)
RIYADH: The Prosecutor General in Yemen issued a decision on Thursday to form a committee to investigate “the alleged acts attributed to Major General Aidarous Al-Zubaidi.”
The committee will investigate Al-Zubaidi for alleged high treason, forming an armed gang, killing military officers and soldiers, exploiting the southern issue, violating the constitution, and damaging military sites.
The committee is authorized to summon and arrest individuals, gather evidence, and take necessary actions according to the law, with a mandate to complete the investigation quickly and provide periodic reports.
Before fleeing Yemen on January 7, Zubaidi used to head the now dissolved Southern Transitional Council (STC), and had a senior position in the Yemeni government at the same time.
Since then, the Yemeni government has stripped him from its membership and referred him to the attorney general, accusing him of high treason.
