"The Post understands that thwarting Tehran from rebuilding such weapons group facilities is one of Binder’s top focuses, and so far the regime has not made any serious progress on the issue." https://t.co/2AwU42S86O
"The Navy has seldom mustered such a formidable presence there since the heights of the Afghan and Iraq wars, and the move reflects the fact that the administration is considering a ramp-up of its military-strike campaign after November, the officials said." https://t.co/ktTWrA0RAB
Countering this advance from the #Iran regime backed #Houthis cannot fall on Saudi Arabia alone. https://t.co/Y0PO5xxeGe
An Iraqi commander of the #Iran-backed militia who allegedly plotted attacks against Jewish targets in Europe, Canada and the United States tried to enter Singapore on multiple occasions, the city-state’s security agency says. Singapore says it would not have allowed Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood Al-Saadi to enter the country. https://t.co/wGifXfZLYh
Wow this is a big story: Bloomberg reports Qorvis allegedly provided services to entities controlled by the now sanctioned #Iran regime aghazadeh Hossein Shamkhani. Executives reportedly met with Shamkhani in 2023, before he was sanctioned. But his father Ali Shamkhani was still sanctioned at the time, and the IRGC has been an FTO since 2019. "Federal statutes require lobbyists to seek a license to work with any sanctioned individual or firm or to collect payments from such entities." https://t.co/Hsny0Ui7HC
"The attempted strikes on warships have led to much closer calls than previous attempts, with #Iran using maneuverable warheads, people familiar with the attacks said." https://t.co/uUJntu5Uxn
Some Iranian officials may want to wait out President Trump—looking over the horizon at American politics. He’s too risk-ready and unpredictable for them and they see currents in both parties over the horizon that are less threatening to the regime. https://t.co/JMkqmtp4Ou
Pakistan has delivered a Saudi warning to Iran to rein in its Yemeni Houthi allies after they stepped up attacks on the kingdom, in a coordinated effort to prevent the crisis from spiralling, Saudi, Pakistani and Iranian sources said. https://t.co/sgmO5iHcjl
#Niger voting against this historic IAEA censure resolution against #Iran's regime underscores the closer relations between Tehran and Niamey in recent years, particularly amid reports of deals for yellowcake in exchange for Iranian drones and missiles. https://t.co/tePjuusuMP
#Argentina’s intelligence authorities have reportedly received warnings of a possible #Hezbollah plan to carry out targeted killings in the country, with Diego Kravetz, a senior official in the country’s intelligence agency SIDE, identified as one of the potential targets. https://t.co/KIcrRUTLzO
This IAEA BoG resolution to refer #Iran's regime to the UNSC got more yes votes than previous censure resolutions without a referral. The June 2025 resolution received 19 yes votes.
"Saudi Arabia and the U.S. responded with joint airstrikes that killed at least 20 Iraqi fighters, six Iranian advisers and at least one Houthi official. The death of the Houthi, not previously reported, was confirmed by a Houthi official and an Iraqi militia member." https://t.co/4A5OTSkjuu
The U.S. military also maintains operational plans for striking Pickaxe Mountain in #Iran, and the facility was included in a target package considered earlier this summer, a source familiar with the matter told CNN. The Pentagon has made preparations this year to test classified capabilities against deeply buried targets, CNN reported on Wednesday, citing federal contracting records and people familiar with the effort. https://t.co/mDMv5RuU54
"The documents and two Oil Ministry sources point to Mohammad Javad Bavand, a former Revolutionary Guards intelligence official appointed to oversee oil trading, as a central figure in the new arrangement." https://t.co/iRr4CHqhxA
A Panama-flagged tanker carrying 2 million barrels of Iraqi fuel oil was struck by a drone in Iraqi territorial waters on Wednesday, two port officials said. https://t.co/pyCasS3pwt
Traditionally #Iran's regime reserves cluster munitions for #Israel as opposed to Arab states, so this would be an escalation.
This retaliation reflects what Ghalibaf stated a few days ago: that in #Iran's regime's mind, the era of proportional responses is over.
Interceptions of #Iran’s regime’s ballistic missile attack begin in #Jordan.
Footage of ballistic missile launches from #Iran following U.S. strikes on Iranian tankers. https://t.co/AOO2iwpbMj
This explains the U.S. strikes on #Iran regime's tankers tonight: Iran launched an attack against U.S. Navy ships on Monday that the U.S. military has yet to acknowledge, according to U.S. officials. No ships were hit. https://t.co/BnUhQEF9m7
Abbas, as you try to mimic American criticism of President Trump's #Iran policy, complete with the pearl clutching and your fake concern about U.S. standing, your economy is seriously in trouble. America is depriving a state-sponsor of terrorism of funds and resources. That's the point.
This won't include the "spy pigeons" that #Iran's regime dubbed Mossad Operatives in 2008. (true story)
#BREAKING: Today, under Operation Economic Outcast, @USTreasury sanctioned 36 targets for supporting #Iran’s aviation sector, which the regime uses to move weapons, personnel, and illicit cargo. As part of this action, OFAC is also targeting third-country firms that facilitate U.S.-sanctioned Mahan Air’s proliferation activity, terrorist-linked flight operations, and illicit procurement of U.S.-origin aircraft. Concurrently, OFAC is suspending three Iran-related aviation authorizations to put additional pressure on the Iranian regime. https://t.co/V5IjYJxCfG
#Iran’s regime’s judiciary has detained Mohammad-Bagher Kharrazi, the brother-in-law of Masoud Khamenei, over his recent remarks. The Special Clerical Court has long tried Khamenei family members, including the late Ali Khamenei’s niece. https://t.co/D8iJ10fdkP
Britain on Tuesday published legislation to introduce tougher sanctions on #Iran, expanding trade restrictions and powers to target ships as part of what it described as wider effort to curb Tehran's nuclear programme and other hostile activities. https://t.co/jHv6UsZnP4
