Nov 13 (Reuters) – The US military denied Iran‘s c Nov 13 (Reuters) – The US military denied Iran‘s claim on Friday to have attacked a US early-warning radar in Bahrain, saying its forces had shot down two one-way attack drones launched by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps toward Bahrain with no harm caused. Iran had said its strike was in retaliation for what it described as an air attack on a telecommunications tower in its Hormozgan province, according to Iranian state media. The claim came during a fragile lull in the conflict between Iran and the US, which began with US and Israeli strikes on Iran on February 28 and has since spread across the region. Iran launched missile and drone attacks on US bases in Persian Gulf states and sought to restrict shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, a vital route for global oil and gas supplies. Washington, in turn, imposed a naval blockade on Iranian ports. There was no immediate comment from Bahrain. (Reporting by Hatem Maher; Editing by Thomas Derpinghaus and Andrew Cawthorne)
Artist: Ahmad Barakizadeh (@ahmad.barakizadeh @ahm Artist: Ahmad Barakizadeh (@ahmad.barakizadeh @ahmadbaraki) By Kayhan Life Staff Nov. 13 - On the seventh anniversary of the November 2019 protests, the Islamic Republic faces economic meltdown, growing international isolation, and a deepening crisis of self-legitimacy. As before, its preferred remedy is increasing internal repression: executions, arrests for defying compulsory hijab rules, and tighter restrictions on businesses and everyday life. As such, it hopes to prevent another uprising, project strength abroad, and reassure its hard-line base that it still holds the reins. It may today, but how long before the high-stress “flex points” wear out and snap? #kayhanlife #cartoonoftheweek
VIENNA, Nov 13 (Reuters) – The UN nuclear watchdog VIENNA, Nov 13 (Reuters) – The UN nuclear watchdog is “increasingly concerned” about an underground uranium-enrichment plant at Isfahan that Iran declared last year but has not let the watchdog inspect, it said in a confidential report on Iran on Friday seen by Reuters. “The Agency does not know IFEP’s exact location, status for safeguards purposes or whether it contains nuclear material,” the International Atomic Energy Agency said in the quarterly report to member states, referring to the Isfahan Fuel Enrichment Plant (IFEP).

By Bo Erickson WASHINGTON, Nov 12 (Reuters) – Pres By Bo Erickson WASHINGTON, Nov 12 (Reuters) – President Donald Trump said on Thursday the US does not need a deal with Iran and directed Vice President JD Vance, who has played a role in efforts to resolve the war, to focus “his complete and total attention” on alleged crime and corruption in Democratic-run cities and states. Trump’s directive came a day after the Wall Street Journal reported that Vance was considering face-to-face peace talks with a hard-line Iranian security official and a week after the vice president blamed the costly war with Iran for Republicans’ midterm elections drubbing. “We don’t need a deal with Iran. Those days have long since passed. We’ve got their money, Hundreds of Billions of Dollars, and we’ve got their Strait!” Trump wrote on social media, referring to the Strait of Hormuz. Trump had suggested in recent weeks that Iran would be more willing to strike a deal in the eight-month conflict after the US elections, but his administration this week signaled it believes its blockade and economic sanctions against Iran are working, meaning neither a military escalation nor diplomacy is needed. The US military is imposing a blockade on Iranian ports, while attempting to secure safe passage for international shipping through the vital Strait of Hormuz. Iran’s military said on Thursday four oil tankers were hit by explosions after they ignored Iranian warnings. Vance’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
By Sam Tobin LONDON, Nov 12 (Reuters) – Two Irania By Sam Tobin LONDON, Nov 12 (Reuters) – Two Iranian men were found guilty on Thursday of spying on dissident journalists in Britain on behalf of Iran‘s Revolutionary Guards, a case British police said reflected increasing hostile activity by Iran. Mostafa Sepahvand, 41, and Farhad Javadi Manesh, 46, were convicted of surveilling journalists who worked for Iran International, a Persian-language television station critical of Iran‘s government, between August 2024 ​and March 2025. Sepahvand was also convicted of planning a violent attack on one or more of their targets. Police said the convictions marked the first time Iranian nationals had been convicted under the law introduced in 2023 to counter threats from foreign states including Iran, which the authorities say have risen sharply. Sepahvand was directed by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps or “middlemen” for Iranian intelligence, Senior National Coordinator for Counter Terrorism Policing Vicki Evans said. Britain has accused Iran of being behind a suspected plot in September targeting RAF Fairford, an airbase used by the US for strikes on Iran, after which US President Donald Trump withdrew American B-1 bombers. Three men were indicted in the United States over the plot this week, with two other men facing charges in Britain. The head of domestic spy agency MI5, Ken McCallum, said last month Iran-linked operations had led to more than 50 arrests in the last year and state threats had quadrupled in the last decade. Evans said she expected that trend to continue. Iran has repeatedly denied involvement in spying or any such activity, and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said he was “disturbed” by the arrests of Sepahvand and others in May 2025. Iran‘s embassy in London said it “categorically rejects” prosecutors’ contention that the Iranian state was involved, adding that the “use of security-related allegations and judicial proceedings to advance political agendas against Iran (is) unacceptable”.
A London jury has convicted two Iranian men of aid A London jury has convicted two Iranian men of aiding Iran’s intelligence service after they were recruited to locate and attack a lawyer and journalists who oppose the regime. Mostafa Sepahvand, a 41-year-old used-car dealer, former gym owner and bodybuilder with a criminal record, was hired as a hit man and offered £150,000 to carry out serious violence. He and his associate, Farhad Javadi Manesh, were found guilty at Woolwich Crown Court on Thursday of assisting a foreign intelligence service. During his arrest, Sepahvand was pinned to the ground and heard repeatedly shouting, asking the officers who they were. #whoareyou #kayhanlife
