Iran arrests reformist leaders over alleged US and Israel links

Iranian authorities have arrested four individuals, including senior reformist figures, on accusations of attempting to disrupt the country’s political and social order and acting in the interests of Israel and the United States during last month’s antigovernment protests. The arrests were carried out late Sunday and early Monday, according to Iranian media reports, and targeted politicians who have recently voiced public criticism of Iran’s theocratic leadership. Those detained were identified as Azar Mansouri, head of Iran’s Reformists Front; Mohsen Aminzadeh, a former diplomat; and Ebrahim Asgharzadeh, a former member of parliament. Their lawyer, Hojjat Kermani, told the semi-official ISNA news agency that Javad Emam, a spokesperson for the Reformists Front, was also arrested at his home by security forces. Iran’s judiciary accused the group of organising and leading activities aimed at destabilising the country at a time when Iran was […]

Italy rules out ICE police role at Winter Games

Italy has ruled out any operational police role for United States immigration agency ICE during the Milan Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics, following public anger over its planned presence.​ Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi told parliament that only the Homeland Security Investigations arm of ICE will be in Italy and that its staff will work inside United States diplomatic missions. He stressed they are not operational agents and have no powers to carry out law enforcement activities on Italian soil.​ Piantedosi said criticism and fears about their role at the Games were completely unfounded. He explained that HSI focuses on global threats such as the illegal movement of people, goods and weapons and is separate from the part of ICE that leads the controversial immigration crackdown in the United States.​ The minister noted it is standard practice for countries to send security […]

Trump sends US ‘armada’ toward Gulf amid Iran tensions

President Donald Trump says a US “armada” is heading toward the Gulf as Washington keeps a close watch on Iran despite recently playing down the prospect of imminent military action. He told reporters on Air Force One, returning from the World Economic Forum in Davos, that the United States was sending a “massive fleet” toward Iran “just in case”, adding that he would rather avoid conflict but was monitoring Tehran “very closely”.​ Trump has repeatedly kept open the option of new strikes on Iran after backing Israel’s 12 day war in June aimed at degrading Iranian nuclear and ballistic missile capabilities. He said in Davos that US attacks on Iranian uranium enrichment sites last year were intended to prevent Tehran from developing a nuclear weapon, something Iran denies.​ The latest remarks come after weeks of seesaw rhetoric, with Trump at […]

Iran may ease internet blackout as hacked TV shows revolt calls

Iran may lift its nationwide internet blackout within days after using sweeping restrictions to crush the biggest anti government protests since the 1979 Islamic Revolution. A senior lawmaker said top security bodies will decide on restoring access once they judge that security conditions are appropriate.​ Authorities largely shut internet and international phone lines as unrest spread across the country from late December, only allowing a heavily filtered connection in recent days. Monitoring group Netblocks said national connectivity remains very low, with a controlled filternet now letting some messages through.​ An Iranian official told reporters that the verified death toll from the protests has passed 5,000, including about 500 security personnel, with some of the worst violence in Kurdish areas in the northwest. Rights groups abroad also say thousands were killed, citing reports of protesters hit by pellets in the face […]

Turkey opposes military operations against Iran

Turkey says it is against any military operation against Iran, warning that foreign intervention would only deepen crises in the country and across the Middle East. Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan told journalists in Istanbul that Iran’s internal problems must be resolved by Iranians themselves, not imposed from outside.​ Fidan said Ankara does not want instability in neighbouring Iran, even though it recognises there are serious issues within Iranian society and government. He cautioned that attempts by the United States or Israel to use force would likely worsen tensions and trigger wider regional conflict.​​ The minister noted that the current protests in Iran stem from legitimate grievances, but that they are also being exploited by Iran’s external enemies. He said Turkey’s priority is to encourage dialogue and a negotiated understanding between Washington and Tehran, which he described as crucial for regional […]

US immigration officer shoots Venezuelan man in Minneapolis

A US federal immigration officer has shot and wounded a Venezuelan man during an enforcement operation in north Minneapolis, intensifying tensions in a city already on edge over recent immigration raids. City officials confirmed the shooting and urged residents to remain calm, while again calling on US Immigration and Customs Enforcement to leave the city and the state.​ According to the Department of Homeland Security, ICE officers tried to stop the man, described as “an illegal alien from Venezuela,” during a targeted traffic operation. Officials say he fled in his vehicle, crashed into another car, then tried to escape on foot before resisting arrest and “violently” attacking an officer.​ DHS said two other people emerged from a nearby apartment and joined the struggle, allegedly hitting the officer with a snow shovel and broom handle. The officer then fired what DHS […]

Death toll from Iran unrest nears 2,600, rights group reports

The death toll from weeks of anti government unrest in Iran has climbed to almost 2,600 people, according to a US based human rights group. HRANA said it has so far verified the deaths of 2,403 protesters and 147 members of the security forces and other government affiliated individuals.​ An Iranian official separately told Reuters that about 2,000 people had been killed, marking the first time a figure in that range has been acknowledged by someone inside the system. The authorities have accused the United States and Israel of fomenting the unrest and say “terrorists” have attacked security forces, mosques and public property.​ The protests began on December 28 over soaring inflation but have since turned into one of the biggest challenges to Iran’s clerical rulers since the 1979 Islamic Revolution. Demonstrations have spread nationwide, with funeral marches, strikes and […]

Trump’s Iran tariff threat risks reopening China rift

US President Donald Trump’s threat to impose a 25 percent tariff on any country that trades with Iran is raising fears of a renewed rift with China, Tehran’s biggest commercial partner. Analysts say the move could drag Beijing back into a trade confrontation with Washington just as both sides were trying to stabilise ties.​ Trump announced on Monday that his administration is preparing the new tariffs as part of efforts to punish Iran over its crackdown on protests and to choke off the country’s oil revenues. The proposed measure would hit major buyers of Iranian crude and goods, including China, India and several countries in Asia.​ China has repeatedly criticised unilateral US sanctions and defended its energy and trade links with Iran as legitimate under international law. Beijing is also a key player in Iran’s oil, infrastructure and technology sectors […]

Iran not seeking war but fully prepared, says minister

Iran’s foreign minister says the country does not want war but is fully prepared to fight if necessary. He also says Tehran is open to talks with the United States if negotiations are fair and based on mutual respect.​ Abbas Araghchi told a gathering of foreign ambassadors in Tehran that Iran is ready for both conflict and diplomacy. He stressed that any talks must give Iran equal rights and must not be dictated by Washington.​ Araghchi’s comments come as US President Donald Trump signals that Iran’s leadership is seeking negotiations after he warned of possible military action over the crackdown on protests. Washington has also maintained a “maximum pressure” policy aimed at curbing Iran’s nuclear programme.​ The minister repeated that Iran’s nuclear activities are peaceful, even as Western countries and the UN nuclear watchdog say Tehran once ran an organised […]

Iran warns it will strike back if US attacks

Iran has warned that it will hit Israel and US military bases if the United States launches strikes on its territory, as mass protests continue across the country.​ Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf told lawmakers that any US attack would be a serious mistake and said Iran would treat Israel, US bases and US ships as legitimate targets. Qalibaf is a former commander in the Revolutionary Guards, the elite force that plays a central role in Iran’s security.​ The warning comes as Iran faces its largest anti-government protests since 2022, driven first by soaring inflation and then by anger at the country’s clerical rule. Rights group HRANA says at least 116 people have been killed so far, including 37 members of the security forces. Authorities accuse the United States and Israel of fueling the unrest and have tightened their crackdown.​ […]
