By Humeyra Pamuk and Tala Ramadan WASHINGTON/DUBAI By Humeyra Pamuk and Tala Ramadan WASHINGTON/DUBAI, April 30 (Reuters) – Iran said on Thursday it would respond with “long and painful strikes” on U.S. positions if Washington renewed attacks, and also reasserted its control over the Strait of Hormuz, complicating U.S. plans for a coalition to reopen the waterway. Two months into the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran, the vital sea channel remains closed, choking off 20% of the world’s oil and gas supplies. That has sent global energy prices surging and heightened concerns about the risks of an economic downturn. Efforts to resolve the conflict have hit an impasse, with a ceasefire in place since April 8 but Iran still blocking the strait in response to a U.S. naval blockade of Iran‘s oil exports, the country’s economic lifeline. U.S. President Donald Trump is slated to receive a briefing on Thursday on plans for a series of fresh military strikes on Iran to compel it to negotiate an end to the conflict, a U.S. official told Reuters. Such options have long been part of U.S. planning but reports of the proposed briefing, first issued by news site Axios late on Wednesday, initially spurred big gains in oil prices, with the benchmark Brent crude contract LCOc1 hitting more than $126 a barrel at one point. It later slipped back to around $114. Any U.S. attack on Iran, even if limited, will usher in “long and painful strikes” on U.S. regional positions, a senior Revolutionary Guards official said. “We’ve seen what happened to your regional bases, we will see the same thing happen to your warships,” Aerospace Force Commander Majid Mousavi was quoted by Iranian media as saying.

By Kayhan Life Staff April 30 - It has now been mo By Kayhan Life Staff April 30 - It has now been more than two months since the people of Iran were denied access to the global internet. On Feb. 28, in the aftermath of the U.S.-Israeli war against the Islamic Republic of Iran, the government made the drastic decision to cut off global internet access. For more than 1,400 hours, Iranians have effectively been silenced as the internet blackout has taken hold. Estimates indicate that the eight-week shutdown has caused more than $2.5 billion in economic damage to Iran. Government officials have confirmed that two million people have lost their jobs, though economic analysts put the true figure at four million and predict that the number of unemployed will continue to rise in the coming weeks. Meanwhile, members of the regime’s inner circle have continued to access the internet through a well-known method: the “white SIM card.” As the Nowruz (Iranian New Year) holidays drew to a close, a new form of internet, referred to as “Internet Pro,” was introduced to specific professional sectors, marking the public rollout of a two-tier system of online access. The initiative makes the internet a privileged commodity, selectively allocated by the government and monitored by security agencies for use by certain citizens. Those who are less privileged and economically disadvantaged are likely to be excluded from this process. Despite some professional associations — such as the Semnan Province Bar Association, the Nursing Organization of the Islamic Republic of Iran, and the Iranian Graphic Designers’ Society (IGDS) — rejecting “Internet Pro” due to its discriminatory nature, many other professions have embraced it. This heightens the social divisions in access to what should be a universal right: internet connectivity. Continues as a free article on kayhanlife.com
NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani made waves when he told r NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani made waves when he told reporters that if he had a chance to speak privately with King Charles during a 9/11 memorial wreath-laying at Ground Zero, he would encourage the British monarch to return the 105.6-carat Koh-i-Noor diamond to India — a jewel whose name translates from Persian as “Mountain of Light” and whose origins trace back to 17th-century India as part of the Mughal Empire’s treasures. It changed hands countless times before landing in Britain’s possession in 1849, when the forced signing of the Treaty of Lahore required the Punjab’s 10-year-old king to surrender both sovereignty and the diamond to the British, after which it became part of the Crown Jewels and today sits on display in the Tower of London. Mamdani, a democratic socialist with Indian heritage, views the gem as emblematic of colonial exploitation, though royal contributor Dr. Amanda Foreman noted that King Charles has no more power to return it than he would Buckingham Palace itself. The Koh-i-Noor’s legendary sibling, the Darya-i-Noor (“Sea of Light”), is believed to have once been part of the same enormous rough diamond from India’s Golconda mines; weighing roughly 182 carats and ranking among the world’s largest pink diamonds, it passed through the Mughal and Persian empires before being seized by Nader Shah during his sack of Delhi in 1739, and it remains today in the Iranian Crown Jewels in Tehran — unlike the Koh-i-Noor, it has never left Iranian possession in the modern era.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
By Kanishka Singh April 29 (Reuters) – President D By Kanishka Singh April 29 (Reuters) – President Donald Trump will receive a briefing on Thursday from the leader of the U.S. Central Command, Brad Cooper, on new plans for potential military action against Iran, Axios reported on Wednesday. The report cited unidentified sources. The White House and the U.S. Central Command did not immediately respond to a request for comment. CENTCOM has prepared a plan for a “short and powerful” wave of strikes on Iran, likely including infrastructure targets, Axios reported, citing sources. A fragile ceasefire in the Iran war began three weeks ago. The war began when the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran on February 28. Iran responded with its own strikes on Israel and [Persian] Gulf states with U.S. bases. U.S.-Israeli ⁠strikes ​on Iran and Israeli attacks in Lebanon ​have killed thousands and displaced millions. Trump has previously threatened to destroy Iran‘s civilian infrastructure. International law experts say such strikes may amount to war crimes. The 1949 Geneva Conventions on humanitarian conduct in war prohibit attacks on sites ​considered essential for civilians. Another plan expected to be shared with Trump is focused on taking over part of the Strait of Hormuz to reopen it to commercial shipping, the report added, saying such an operation may involve ground forces. The Iran war, which remains unpopular in the U.S., has shaken markets and raised oil prices. The war has brought traffic through the ​strait, a chokepoint for about 20% of global oil and liquefied natural gas shipments, close ​to a standstill. Washington hopes to make Iran more flexible at the negotiating table on nuclear issues, Axios reported.
By Julien Pretot and Frank Pingue from Reuters Apr By Julien Pretot and Frank Pingue from Reuters April 29 - VANCOUVER/TORONTO — An Iranian football federation delegation, including a former member of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, was turned back by Canadian authorities en route to this week’s FIFA Congress in Vancouver and is now set to miss the annual meeting, according to Canada’s foreign minister. Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand said it was her “understanding” that Iranian football officials were denied entry to Canada ahead of the FIFA Congress, which takes place just weeks before the start of the World Cup. “While we cannot comment on individual cases due to privacy laws, the government has been clear and consistent: IRGC officials are inadmissible to Canada and have no place in our country,” the Canadian government said in a statement. “We have taken strong action to hold the IRGC to account and will continue to do so, while protecting the safety of Canadians and upholding the integrity of our immigration system.” (Reporting by Julien Pretot, Trevor Stynes and Frank Pingue; Additional reporting Menna Alaa El-Din in Cairo and Nicole Fernandes, Ryan Patrick Jones, Allison Lampert, Ed White and David Ljunggren; Editing by Peter Graff and Toby Davis, and Kayhan Life Staff)
