Iran

The United States has filed expanded charges against 17 Iranians linked to the Mabna Institute, which prosecutors say worked on behalf of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards. The network allegedly hacked thousands of university accounts and stole an enormous amount of research and intellectual property.

Tehran reportedly considered attacking U.S. targets in Bulgaria and Cyprus if the war escalates, along with damaging communications cables in the Strait of Hormuz. Iranian officials warn: “Retaliation will not remain confined to the Middle East.”

President Donald Trump has reportedly ordered an end to contacts with Iran, as the White House appears to shift from immediate military pressure to a longer-term strategy.

The United Arab Emirates Defense Ministry reported intercepting two missiles headed toward a major Gulf target. Initial suspicions pointed to Yemen, but the Houthis denied any involvement.

President Donald Trump declared in a rare post that the U.S. had taken control of the Strait of Hormuz. Tehran quickly responded with mockery and threats, calling the statement the product of delusion.

President Donald Trump addressed what he says is U.S. economic pressure on Iran, adding: “I want a deal with Iran for one reason: to prevent it from getting nuclear weapons.” Meanwhile, a Gulf report says the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps seized an Emirati oil tanker.

As the ceasefire expires, a senior official in Tehran warns: “Iran has set a deadline of weeks for a new memorandum of understanding, and it will no longer wait for Washington.” President Donald Trump: “They need to surrender.”

As the 60-day ceasefire expires, President Donald Trump is demanding that Iran surrender. In a social media post, he made it clear: "Iran cannot be allowed to possess a nuclear weapon, in any way, shape, or form."

Iran and the United States have officially concluded the 60-day ceasefire period agreed upon after Operation "Roaring Lion," known in the U.S. as Epic Fury. Iranian officials say: "There is no new agreement, and there was never a ceasefire."

Six months after two Iranian warplanes were shot down en route to an attack in Qatar, Tehran says three crew members survived and were taken captive. Doha firmly denies it, and the questions surrounding their fate are only growing.

The Shin Bet and National Cyber Directorate are warning of a new wave of Iranian phishing attempts targeting journalists and media professionals in Israel. Attackers pose as journalists in an effort to access sources, correspondence, work materials, and sensitive information.

The U.S. military fired Hellfire missiles at a cargo ship accused of violating a naval blockade on its way to Iran. An Iranian official says the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed without U.S. concessions.

President Donald Trump warned Iran that it would be attacked if it acts against the United States. Iran insists it will not open the Strait of Hormuz to free passage until the U.S. announces a withdrawal.

Iran continues to demand that the U.S. lift its maritime blockade of Iranian ports in exchange for reopening the Strait of Hormuz. It says ships will be charged a service fee, not a fee for passage itself.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said he held a seven-hour meeting with Mojtaba Khamenei. He said the two discussed the economic crisis, national unity, and coping with sanctions.

President Donald Trump suggests that Washington, for now, prefers to keep economic pressure on Iran rather than escalate militarily. He says Tehran’s economic crisis could achieve U.S. goals without further military action.

With Iran under pressure and elections approaching, Trump may have more to gain from managing the current reality than restarting major combat

Iranian opposition-linked media reported over the weekend that Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei is in critical condition. Today, the Revolutionary Guards released footage of him and reported that he met with Iran’s president.

A Lebanese report says Iran has not advanced the proposal presented by President Donald Trump, raising the possibility that a military option could return. Iran’s foreign minister: "There are no talks with the U.S." A U.S. report says: "Trump supports ending the war."

American media cited experts who believe a significant part of Iran’s nuclear capability survived the attacks. The experts warned: "The capability still exists. The Iranians could produce a bomb in less than a year."
