US Mocks Iran’s “Failed” Attack On Israel | Tehran Mulls Expanding Military Ties With Russia, China

Hamas said it had received Israel's official response to its latest ceasefire proposal and will study it before submitting its reply. An Egyptian delegation met Israeli counterparts on April 26 to restart talks to end the war in Gaza and return the remaining Israeli hostages. Israel reportedly warned that this was the “last chance” for a truce agreement before it launched its long-planned assault in Rafah. Yemen's Houthi rebels claimed their missiles hit the Panama-flagged Andromeda Star oil tanker in the Red Sea. Meanwhile, US Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin said Iran should question the effectiveness of its weapons systems after its failed attack on Israel.
