Iran

Iran’s rial has fallen to a record low of 2.02 million to the dollar, as food prices surge and the economy contracts. Meanwhile, Washington is preparing to announce an additional round of severe sanctions.

Iran has issued a warning to European countries that allow U.S. forces to launch attacks from their territory. Greece has deployed an air-defense system in Crete, while Tehran claims it destroyed radar systems in the Gulf and says the Americans "cannot detect attacks."

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent will present the Senate today with a sanctions plan targeting Iran. Sanctions will also be imposed on countries that assist the Iranian regime. Tehran responded: “If Trump takes new aggressive measures, we will respond with force.”

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said the U.S. threat of new sanctions is "a sign of desperation in America." On Monday, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is expected to unveil a list of new economic measures aimed, he said, at "toppling the Iranian regime."

Hackers linked to the Iranian regime reportedly shut down a British power station for four days, the first known case of Tehran-linked actors causing a prolonged outage at a facility of this kind in the UK.

Iran’s Revolutionary Guard says Tehran would deploy more powerful weapons in any future conflict. The warning comes after Trump declared an “economic war” and cautioned countries against helping Tehran.

President Donald Trump announced “economic warfare and isolation on an unprecedented scale” against Iran, threatening consequences for countries that continue trading with Tehran.

The United Arab Emirates announced that it has suspended all trade with Iran in response to missile launches targeting it and attacks on oil tankers passing through the Strait of Hormuz. Foreign reports put trade between the two countries at roughly $28 billion in 2024.

President Donald Trump addressed the pause in talks with Iran, while leaving the door open to a possible return to negotiations: “Maybe at some point.” He also announced plans to meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un: “I get along with him very well.”

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.
