Months after the deadly wave of protests that swept Iran, disturbing new testimony is revealing the full scale of the horror the regime in Tehran worked to keep out of sight: mass killings with heavy machine guns, financial extortion of bereaved families, and shocking accounts of torture inflicted on medical staff who refused to abandon the wounded.

Iran officials said military pressure and diplomacy will continue together, while regime media tied Lebanon, Hezbollah and the Houthis into Iran’s deterrence message

Four detained and two escaped after a May 1 attempt on Bubiyan Island near Iraq and Iran; Tehran has not responded, Kuwait says.

The United Arab Emirates says Iran launched cruise missiles and drones in a third attack within a day. At the White House, Trump said Tehran "knows what not to do" and touted U.S. strength. America’s top general called the current mission defensive "for now," while Iran’s Revolutionary Guards warned ships in the Strait of Hormuz to stick to Iran’s designated corridor.

With the cease-fire with Iran at risk near the Strait of Hormuz, Israeli and U.S. officials signal rapid-response readiness as Tehran weighs its next moves.

With talks stalled, Iran has hardened its stance, preparing civilian shelters and warning of a forceful response as tensions rise over the Strait of Hormuz and seized vessels.

Iran’s Revolutionary Guard says it struck three vessels in the vital waterway, while the White House says President Donald Trump is pausing hostilities for several more days to give talks a chance.

A CBS report says that by the start of the cease-fire, roughly half of Iran's ballistic missiles and launchers were still intact—and about 60% of the IRGC's naval arm remained operational.

Less than a day after Iran said it reopened the Strait of Hormuz, the Revolutionary Guards closed it again. President Donald Trump responded: "Iran must reach an agreement. The ceasefire ends Tuesday night and will not be renewed".

In a virtual briefing with about 100 diplomats in Israel, Sa’ar urged governments to send Iranian envoys home, criticized Lebanon’s handling of Hezbollah, and warned that Iran’s missile range threatens Europe.
