World on edge as US, Israel strike Iran and Tehran hits back

The world is on edge after the United States and Israel launched joint strikes on Iran, prompting Tehran to fire missiles across the Middle East in a dangerous military escalation. US President Donald Trump announced that a major combat operation was under way to eliminate what he called the Iranian regime’s military and nuclear threats. The initial strikes hit multiple targets in Iran, including Tehran, Isfahan, Qom, Tabriz, Kermanshah and other cities, as well as locations linked to the country’s leadership and security agencies. In swift retaliation, Iran launched ballistic missiles and drones at Israel and at US military bases and facilities in several Gulf and Middle Eastern countries, including Qatar, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Kuwait. Explosions and interception efforts were reported over Israeli cities, while Jordanian authorities said their air defence shot down incoming […]

Rising Costs and Poverty Hit Iranians Hard

Many Iranians are struggling to make ends meet as inflation and economic pressures continue to erode living standards across the country. Marjan, a crafts seller from Isfahan, says she and her husband can no longer afford small luxuries like eating out twice a month. For six years, she earned a living selling wooden crafts on Instagram, but an internet blackout during the nationwide protests in early January wiped out her income. Even after the internet returned, her monthly sales plummeted from 300 million rials ($185) to less than 30 million rials. The couple is considering selling their car just to keep up with rent and loan payments. Many families face similar hardships. Mina, a 44-year-old mother in Tehran, says food prices have more than doubled in recent months. Beef, which cost 7 million rials per kilo two months ago, recently […]

Trump uses State of the Union to justify possible Iran attack

President Donald Trump has used his State of the Union address to set out his case for a possible military attack on Iran, vowing he will never allow Tehran to obtain a nuclear weapon. He accused Iran of spreading terrorism, restarting its nuclear programme and developing missiles that he said could soon reach the United States.​ Trump told Congress that the Iranian leadership and its “murderous proxies” have brought terrorism, death and hate to the Middle East and beyond. He also blamed Tehran for deadly roadside bombings against US troops and civilians and for the deaths of thousands of protesters in recent anti government demonstrations, citing a figure of 32,000 people killed.​ Iran rejected his claims as false. Foreign ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei wrote on X that statements about Iran’s nuclear work, long range missile capability and protest death toll […]

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 […]

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.​ […]

Ousted Iran shah’s son urges protesters to seize and hold city centres

Reza Pahlavi, the US based son of Iran’s ousted shah, has called on Iranians to step up their demonstrations by seizing and holding city centres during protests. In a video message on social media, he said the goal was no longer just to appear on the streets but to prepare to capture and control key urban areas.​ Pahlavi urged protesters to turn out in large numbers over the weekend and to gather from 6 pm carrying national flags and symbols. He framed the latest demonstrations as part of a broader “revolution” against the Islamic Republic and said he was preparing to return to Iran when conditions allow.​ He also appealed to workers in strategic sectors such as transport, oil, gas and energy to begin nationwide strikes. According to him, industrial action combined with mass protests would increase pressure on the […]

Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei says Iran will not back down as protests continue across the country over rising prices and economic hardship.

He said the Islamic Republic would not yield to pressure and described those involved in violence as mercenaries for outsiders.​ Authorities have limited internet access and disrupted communications as the protests have grown, leaving many parts of Iran largely cut off from the outside world. Domestic flights have been cancelled and local news websites have struggled to update, further restricting information from inside the country.​ Officials are […]

Iran to boycott 2026 World Cup draw over US visa row

Iran says it will boycott the 2026 FIFA World Cup draw in the United States, protesting visa restrictions that could prevent its officials from attending the ceremony. The draw is scheduled to take place in the US, one of the three co-hosts of the 2026 tournament alongside Canada and Mexico.​ Iranian football authorities argue that current US entry rules and political tensions could stop members of their delegation from securing visas. They insist that all qualified teams should be guaranteed equal access to attend official FIFA events, including the final draw.​ Officials in Tehran say they have raised their concerns with FIFA, warning that hosting a major football event in a country with strict visa limits undermines the principle of fairness. They contend that sports events should remain neutral spaces, free from political pressure or discrimination.​ The boycott threat adds […]

Germany urges citizens to leave Iran over security risks

Germany has advised its citizens to immediately leave Iran, citing possible retaliation from Tehran following Berlin’s role in activating United Nations sanctions linked to Iran’s nuclear programme. On Thursday, Germany, alongside Britain and France, initiated a 30-day process to reimpose U.N. sanctions on Iran, a move that is expected to heighten tensions in the region. The decision comes just two months after Israel and the United States carried out airstrikes against Iran. In a statement published on its official website, Germany’s Foreign Ministry warned that Iranian authorities had repeatedly threatened consequences over the sanctions push. “As Iranian government representatives have repeatedly threatened with consequences in this case, it cannot be ruled out that German interests and nationals will be affected by countermeasures in Iran,” the ministry said. The government also noted that the German Embassy in Tehran is currently operating […]
