Iran thanked the Saudi Defense Ministry for its briefing, and offered its good wishes for the success of this alliance and Islamic nations in general, stating that mutual cooperation between Muslims is the 'only way' to contain Israel and Western hegemony.

'We will always support initiatives that seek to strengthen the mutual cooperation between Islamic nations', said Iran's Minister of Defense Aziz Nasirzadeh.

— 🇵🇸/🇮🇱 NEW: Al-Qassam Brigades publish an image showing the faces of all Israeli prisoners of war in Gaza, both dead and alive, with 'Ron Arad' written beneath all of them, suggesting that with the operation in Gaza City, they will never be found

Ron Arad was an Israeli pilot captured in 1986 in Lebanon by Amal and Hezbollah and was never found.

It was revealed in the mid-2000s that Iran was offered $10 billion for Ron Arad, which Iran never accepted. Ultimately, in 2006, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah announced him as dead.

—❗️🇮🇷/🇺🇳 BREAKING: Iran's Supreme National Security Council, in a statement, confirms that all cooperation with the IAEA is now suspended following the E3's SnapBack, declaring the Cairo agreement nullified

@Middle_East_Spectator

— NOTE: Suspension of cooperation with the IAEA likely will not be the only retaliation for SnapBack, considering that this was already the status quo before SnapBack (at least until the Cairo agreement this month).

Suspending ties with the IAEA was meant as a retaliation to the bombing of our nuclear sites, not SnapBack. The response to SnapBack must be more severe and a totally seperate measure.

We probably have to wait until UN sanctions take effect (September 27th) before Iran announces any formal response.

— 🇵🇸/🇮🇱 NEW: The IDF has announced that a soldier from the 401st 'Iron Tracks' Brigade has been injured by sniper fire in Gaza City.
