Iravani said Iran “categorically” rejected any threat by the E3 group of France, Germany and Britain of using the snapback mechanism, stressing that the mechanism was not a “tool in the hands” of Western nations for threatening Iran. — Xinhua

WHEN public service personnel cooperate with the government in security with security awareness and knowledge, they can prevent weakness in security measures, said Chairman of the State Administration Council Prime Minister Senior General Min Aung Hlaing in his speech at the meeting on security and development of Yangon Region on Konmyinttha of Yangon Region yesterday morning.
WHEN public service personnel cooperate with the government in security with security awareness and knowledge, they can prevent weakness in security measures, said Chairman of the State Administration Council Prime Minister Senior General Min Aung Hlaing in his speech at the meeting on security and development of Yangon Region on Konmyinttha of Yangon Region yesterday morning.
Speaking on the occasion, the Senior General recounted that, according to past events in Myanmar and the international community, those who are not honest in politics will surely suffer consequences.
He clearly reaffirmed that the government will hold the election as its ultimate aim to be able to hand over the State power to the elected government.

He added that public security and counter-terrorism forces must have security awareness and knowledge.
He continued that the Myanmar Police Force, which is a primarily responsible force for public security, must have ability and prowess.
The Senior General highlighted that police and administrative officials need to apply their experiences in restoring rule of law and regional security measures.
He stressed that district administrators need to review data on their townships, changes in conditions and the possibility of security breakdown and ensure the rule of law, disciplined living and beautification of townships.
He noted that district administrators need to focus on raising school enrolment and the number of educated citizens in relevant districts while managing the creation of employment opportunities for residents.
The Senior General emphasized that relevant administrative bodies need to manage the mental and physical well-being of people in the districts as much as they can.
He urged administrative officials to serve their duties honestly and effectively manage administrative measures to ensure peace, stability and development in assigned districts.
At the meeting, the Commander of Yangon Command, Maj-Gen Zaw Hein, reported on taking measures for peace and stability in relevant military stations, formation of people’s security and counter-terrorism forces, participation of depart- mental officials in the collection of population and household census, arrests of terrorists and seizures of arms and ammunition, and involvement of Tatmadaw members and MPF members in beautifying the public areas and religious edifices.

Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) said that if Israel retaliates by attacking Iran, it will face “crushing and destructive” attacks. — Xinhua

THE Israeli army said it launched a ground offensive in Lebanon and that its forces engaged in clashes Tuesday, further escalating the conflict after a week of intense air strikes that killed hundreds.
The UN peacekeeping mission in Lebanon said, however, the Israeli operation did not amount to a “ground incursion” and while Hezbollah denied any troops had crossed the border, an Israeli security official said localized raids had taken place and they were limited in scope.

There was no way to immediately verify the claims, which came as Israel targeted south Beirut, Damascus and Gaza, despite international calls for restraint to avoid a regional conflagration.
Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant warned the fight was far from over, even after a massive strike on Beirut killed Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah on Friday. His death dealt a heavy blow to the Iran-backed group.
