Read excerpt
The US State Department indicated on Thursday that it has approved visas for a small number of Iranian officials to attend the United Nations annual meeting known as the General Assembly (UNGA), which begins next week.

Read excerpt
The leader of Yemen's Houthis has denied the group targeted the city of Mecca in Saudi Arabia. Abdul-Malik al-Houthi said the claim his group attacked the holy city with a drone was a "major lie" and said they were committed to defending Islamic holy sites.
