Iran executes another alleged Israeli spy amid surge in death penalties
TEHRAN — Iran said on Monday that it executed a man who was accused of spying for Israel, the latest in a recent wave of death penalties doled out by the regime in Tehran.Iran's Mizan news agency, which is the judiciary’s official mouthpiece, said the man, identified as Bahman Choobiasl, was "one of the most important spies for Israel in Iran". It is the 10th such execution since a 12-day conflict with Israel in June.Mizan said Choobiasl allegedly worked on “sensitive telecommunications projects“ and reported on the “paths of importing electronic devices” without providing evidence.Choobiasl's case was not mentioned in previous Iranian media reports, nor was it known to activists abroad monitoring Tehran's death penalty executions.The execution came after...

Iran may withdraw from nuclear treaty after reimposition of UN sanctions, lawmaker says
TEHRAN – Iranian lawmakers weighed on Sunday how to respond to the reimposed UN sanctions over its nuclear programme, which came into effect midnight on Sunday, with one parliamentarian suggesting Tehran could potentially withdraw from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.The sanctions again freeze Iranian assets abroad, halt arms deals with Tehran and penalise any development of Iran’s ballistic missile program, among other measures.It came via a mechanism known as “snapback,” included in Iran’s 2015 nuclear deal with world powers, and comes at a time when Iran’s economy is already reeling.Iran’s rial currency currently sits at a record low, increasing pressure on food prices and making daily life that much more challenging. The prices of essential items in Iranian...

Syria's Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shibani
Israeli strikes left Syria ‘stunned’ and makes normalization ‘difficult,’ foreign minister says
DAMASCUS – Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shibani told CNN Israeli strikes on Syria after the fall of the Assad regime “stunned” his country making discussions about normalization “difficult.”In an exclusive interview with CNN’s Fareed Zakaria at the Council on Foreign Relations, aired Sunday, al-Shibani criticized Israel for having “obstructed” the Syrian government when it faced a surge in sectarian violence in the south.The Syrian minister vowed that a “strong and unified Syria would be good for regional security, and that will benefit Israel.”The fall of Bashar al-Assad – a major ally of Israel’s arch-foe Iran – last December prompted a military response from Israel, which launched airstrikes at military targets across Syria and deployed ground troops both...

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reacts at a press conference in Jerusalem in September
From diplomacy to soccer, Israel is becoming a pariah on the global stage
LONDON – Israel is becoming increasingly isolated on the world stage as the war and humanitarian crisis in Gaza continue, with the backlash seeping into economic, cultural and sporting arenas.International condemnation has soared since Israel announced a ground assault on Gaza City and conducted an unprecedented strike against Hamas leadership on Qatari soil. It also comes as an independent UN inquiry concluded for the first time last week that Israel had committed genocide against Palestinians in Gaza, a finding that echoes those of other genocide experts and human rights groups, but which the Israeli government has rejected.Last week, the European Union – Israel’s biggest trading partner – proposed sanctions that would partially suspend its free trade agreement with Israel, if...

Trump says he 'will not allow' Netanyahu to annex West Bank
WASHINGTON – US President Donald Trump has said he will not allow Benjamin Netanyahu to annex the Israeli-occupied West Bank.Speaking ahead of the Israeli prime minister's address to the UN General Assembly on Friday, the US president told reporters in the Oval Office: "I will not allow Israel to annex the West Bank ...

Tony Blair in discussions to run transitional Gaza authority
LONDON – Former UK Prime Minister Sir Tony Blair has been involved in discussions about leading a post-war transitional authority in Gaza.The proposal, which is said to have backing from the White House, would see Blair lead a governing authority supported by the UN and Gulf nations – before handing control back to Palestinians.His office said he would not support any proposal that displaced the people of Gaza.Sir Tony, who took the UK into the Iraq War in 2003, has been part of high-level planning talks with the US and other parties about the future of Gaza.In August, he joined a White House meeting with Trump to discuss plans for the territory, which US Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff described as "very comprehensive" – though little else was disclosed about the...

Gazan teenage medical evacuee offers a glimpse into the horrors of Israel’s war on children
LONDON – At first, health workers thought Majd Alshaghnobi had been killed.He was waiting to collect flour, like so many children in northern Gaza, when Israeli shrapnel tore through his face at the Kuwait Roundabout in February 2024, inflicting a blast injury on his jaw and lower mouth.“Someone had dragged me and took me to safety,” the 15-year-old boy told CNN on Monday. “I was put in the morgue refrigerator, because they thought I was dead. But then I moved my hand and alerted them to the fact that I was alive.”Palestinian doctors whisked him away before sewing up his wounds in a kitchen because there were not enough operating rooms at Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital, Gaza City – in a fraught scene of impossible triage and medical improvisation replicated across the strip....
