July 3 - With Ali Khamenei gone and his heir hidden from sight, the Islamic Republic’s remaining commanders are busy dividing the estate, and planning how to eliminate rivals. One faction wants a deal with Washington to ease its survival; the other fears that every concession will expose weakness and invite revolt. Even state television has joined the wake, cutting Ghalibaf mid-sentence. In Tehran’s ruling household, inheritance means missiles, money, and who gets to survive the next collapse.

LONDON, July 3 (Reuters) – Two Romanian men whom B

LONDON, July 3 (Reuters) – Two Romanian men whom British prosecutors said were acting as proxies for the Iranian government were given lengthy jail sentences on Friday for stabbing a journalist working for a Persian-language media organisation in London.

Pouria Zaratifoukolaei, known as Pouria Zeraati, a British journalist of Iranian origin who works for Iran International, was stabbed three times in the leg near his home in southwest London in March 2024.

Nandito Badea, 21, and George Stana, 25, both pleaded not guilty to charges of wounding with intent, but were convicted at London’s Woolwich Crown Court in June. Badea was sentenced to 8 years in jail and Stana was sentenced to 12 years.

During their trial, prosecutors said three men had targeted Zeraati, whose Saudi-funded TV employer is critical of Iran‘s government and has been designated a terrorist organisation by Tehran.

Prosecutor Duncan Atkinson told jurors the attack was ordered by a third party acting on behalf of the Iranian state. Iran had denied any involvement.

The third man accused of involvement, David Andrei, was arrested in Romania but was not involved in the trial.

Judge Bobbie Cheema-Grubb said in sentencing remarks that she was sure the attack was carried out for the benefit of a foreign power.

An Iran International spokesperson said they were delighted the case had ended and thanked the police and the British government for their efforts.

“The attack on Pouria was appalling, terrifying for him and his wife, and shocking to his colleagues at Iran International,” they said.

July 3 (Reuters) – Yemen’s Houthis said on Friday

July 3 (Reuters) – Yemen’s Houthis said on Friday its forces confronted Saudi “warplanes” that they said attempted to prevent an Iranian civilian aircraft from landing at Sanaa International Airport, according to a statement by the group’s military spokesperson Yahya Sarea.

The Iran-aligned group warned that they would target “Saudi airports and vital interests on land and sea” if the Saudis continue their violations of Yemeni airspace, Sarea said.

Flights between Sanaa and Tehran will continue despite any “possible consequences,” he added.

Houthi-run Al Masirah TV said earlier on Friday that an Iranian aircraft arrived in Sanaa and flew the group’s official delegation to Tehran to attend the funeral of Iran‘s late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. More than 200 patients were among other passengers on board.

Saudi Arabia led a military coalition that intervened in Yemen in 2015 after the Iran-aligned Houthis seized the capital, Sanaa.

The Houthis have demonstrated their missile and drone capabilities during the Yemen war in attacks on Saudi Arabia targeting oil installations and vital infrastructure.

DOHA/DUBAI/VIRGINIA BEACH, Virginia, July 1 (Reuters) – Iran and the United States concluded a round of indirect talks on Wednesday with no sign they had made headway toward a lasting peace, focusing instead on issues that they said had been resolved when an interim agreement was announced two weeks ago.

Sources familiar with the discussions said negotiators for the two countries spent two days in Doha discussing maritime traffic in the Strait of Hormuz and unfreezing Iran‘s funds, two critical issues under the initial agreement.

The next meeting will take place after funeral processions for Iran‘s late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who is due to be buried on July 9, Qatar’s Foreign Ministry said.

The Doha discussions produced “positive progress” on issues related to the memorandum that halted the war in June and were “building on the outcomes” of a summit in Switzerland, the ministry spokesperson said in a post on X.
