Kamîran: Yesterday we spoke about the rejection of Iran's proposal by Trump. Today the response came from Tehran.

Ronahî: Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said in an interview that Tehran is asking why the United States rejected a proposal. According to him, that proposal would have normalised the situation in the Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz. Araghchi said Iran is ready for both negotiations and war.

Ronahî: He also said that if the United States takes decisive steps, Iran is ready to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

Kamîran: So reopening Hormuz is being placed on the table as a bargaining chip.

Ronahî: Trump also said today that a new round of negotiations could be held next week. Yet he said: "They want to sign an agreement, but not the kind I am prepared to accept." According to Trump, what Iran is now proposing is something that could have been agreed upon a year ago.

Ronahî: On the ground, Iranian forces announced that they have blocked the passage of nineteen ships in the past two days. According to Iranian military sources, those ships were trying to cross outside the shipping lane designated by Tehran. This information comes solely from the Iranian side and no details have been provided: neither the flags of the ships are known, nor what became of them.

Kamîran: There is another piece of news from Iran, this time from the courts.

Ronahî: The human-rights organisation HRANA reported that Mahboubeh Shabani, a thirty-three-year-old woman, had been detained during the protests of January twenty twenty-six.

Ronahî: The first branch of the Revolutionary Court in Mashhad sentenced Shabani to death on charges of membership in opposition groups.

Kamîran: This information comes from an organisation's report. Have Iranian officials said anything about the case?

Ronahî: No, the news carries no official Iranian statement on the file. All information is based on that organisation's report.

Ronahî: In Yemen, according to the Health Ministry affiliated with the Houthis, seven people lost their life and forty others were wounded in an attack on a market in Taiz province. The ministry says the strike hit shops at the Mawiyah crossroads and that children are among the casualties.

Kamîran: And how does the other side describe this?

Ronahî: Yemen's central government says it targeted a military camp and Houthi vehicles at the same location. So there are two separate accounts of the same incident: one speaks of a market, the other of a military target. Neither account has been independently verified.

Kamîran: The issue that students in Girke Lege raised yesterday has grown larger today, and now families have joined in.

Ronahî: Residents and students say they do not accept the Syrian Education Ministry's decision that limits Kurdish lessons to three hours a week. Female students say this limit affects their success and they want the ministry to review the decision.

Ronahî: A mother named Cîhan Mistefa said: "We are not against the Arabic language, but many children study in Kurdish and this decision will affect their future."

Kamîran: And the matter is not limited to schools.

Ronahî: That is right. The administration of the University of Rojava also issued a statement. The administration says it insists on academic independence and the right to study in the mother tongue. According to the statement, the integration dialogue with the Syrian Ministry of Education and Scientific Research must proceed on the basis of democracy and transparency.

Ronahî: One thousand three hundred and fifty families from the Shahba region in the Aleppo countryside are now living in Jazira and Kobani. These families have been displaced in several waves: in twenty thirteen, twenty eighteen and twenty twenty-four. Nine schools and four centres have been allocated for their accommodation.

Ronahî: The families say they want to return, but they will not return until security is assured. According to them, the reason is the presence of armed groups linked to Turkey in the area.

Kamîran: So the houses are there, yet the road is still closed. The question of housing and land also surfaces in another report today.

Ronahî: Yes. Human Rights Watch warned that Syria's interim government is signing reconstruction agreements worth billions of dollars, yet there is no legal framework to protect residents' rights and guarantee their participation in decisions about their housing and land. The organisation called on the government, donors and investors to establish those guarantees.
