Abu Dhabi, Dubai under attack

The Yemeni army says it has hit significant targets deep inside the United Arab Emirates in a fresh retaliatory strike. Spokesman for the army, Yahya Saree, says several Zulfaqar missiles hit sensitive facilities in the capital Abu Dhabi, adding that several targets in Dubai were hit with unmanned aircraft. According to Saree, the objectives of the operation have been met. He also warned that the UAE will be under continued strikes as long as it continues its aggression against the people of Yemen. The army spokesman also warned Emirati citizens to stay away from sensitive facilities, saying they will be targeted in more attacks. The UAE is part of the Saudi-led coalition that has waged a war on Yemen since March 2015. Hundreds of thousands of Yemenis, mostly civilians, have been killed directly from war, or indirectly from hunger and diseases since then.

Sanctions removal talks

Tehran says the Vienna talks on the revival of Iran's deal, known as JCPOA, will conclude once other signatories, plus Washington, make the right political decisions. Foreign Ministry spokesman says a proper response to Iran’s rightful demands will result in an agreement in the shortest possible time. Saeed Khatibzadeh says this deal will be reliable if other parties do not make any requests beyond the scope and framework of the 2015 deal. He says the sources of disagreement between the negotiating parties are clear, adding there are still unresolved issues regarding the removal of sanctions in a verifiable manner. Khatibzadeh stressed that Washington needs to provide sufficient guarantees that it will not again violate the international law, or target different entities with transnational sanctions. The negotiating delegations will go back to Vienna to resume talks in the coming days.
