Sep. 29 – An investigation looking into the dipl

Sep. 29 – An investigation looking into the diplomatic relationship between several US-based Iran analysts and the Iranian regime suggested that the engagements amounted to an Iranian-backed influence operation in the United States.

The reports, produced by news outlets Semafor, and Iran International which had received thousands of emails sent by officials and experts, said the analysts had been “cooperating closely” with the regime in a bid to revive the 2015 nuclear deal.

Several analysts named in the report had worked with the State Department’s former Iran envoy Robert Malley, who was placed on leave in June after his security clearance was suspended.

Tehran has accused Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of threatening to launch a nuclear attack on Iran, following comments he made at a United Nations General Assembly.

Netanyahu told the delegation that Iran “must face a credible nuclear threat” to prevent Iran from getting nuclear weapons.

His office later put out a statement saying the Prime Minister misspoke and meant to say, “credible military threat.”

And Iranian clerics in the holy city of Qom have begun to explore the use of Artificial Intelligence for a range of activities, including summarizing religious texts and issuing fatwas (religious decrees).

The clerics are members of a state-linked organization in Qom supporting the growth of technology businesses.

Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has also called on the clergy to explore AI, announcing in June that he wanted the country to be “at least among the top 10 countries in the world in terms of artificial intelligence.”

OSLO/STOCKHOLM, Sept 29 (Reuters) – Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy and Russian dissident Alexei Navalny are among favourites for this year’s Nobel Peace Prize, but experts say campaigners for women, Indigenous peoples or the environment could well steal the stage.

Given past form, the Norwegian Nobel Committee is also capable of a complete surprise in the Oct. 6 announcement.

Henrik Urdal, director of the Peace Research Institute Oslo, said in a year marking the 75th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the committee may decide to shine a light on the contribution of activists to peace.

A prize to Tohti or another activist in China would be a welcome focus on Beijing’s increasingly authoritarian rule, he said.

Urdal also cited Iran’s Narges Mohammadi, who campaigns for women’s rights and against the death penalty and is currently in jail; Afghanistan’s Mahbouba Seraj who, despite a ban from the ruling Taliban, continues to campaign for girls’ rights to education and other women’s rights and remains in Kabul.

“I think perhaps the most likely candidates would be human rights defenders,” he said.

Sept 29 (Reuters) – Prisoners at a facility in southwest Iran started a fire to protest against a death sentence issued against a fellow inmate, and shots have been heard, an Iranian news agency reported on Friday.

“Following the announcement of the death sentence of a prisoner in Ramhormoz prison, several prisoners have started a riot by starting a fire,” the semi-official news agency Mehr reported. “Gunfire could be heard from outside the prison.”

DUBAI, Sept 29 (Reuters) – Protesters faced off

DUBAI, Sept 29 (Reuters) – Protesters faced off with security forces in Iran‘s restive southeast on Friday to mark the anniversary of a Sept. 30, 2022, crackdown by security forces known as “Bloody Friday”, according to rights groups and social media videos.

Videos posted on the X platform by the Iran Human Rights (IHR) group showed marchers confronting security forces in Zahedan, capital of the southeastern Sistan-Baluchistan province, as apparent sounds of shooting are heard.

IHR and the Baluch rights group Hal Vash said at least 23 people had been injured. Reuters could not verify the report or the authenticity of the videos.

Protests continued into the night, with several videos posted online purporting to show protesters setting fire to tyres to block streets in Zahedan.

Zahedan’s prosecutor had earlier said the city was calm and videos showing the injured were old, the state news agency IRNA reported. The semi-official news agency Tasnim said police had used tear gas to disperse “a few people who had gathered and were throwing rocks at security forces”.

In the Sept. 30 crackdown, security forces killed at least 66 people, according to Amnesty International. Authorities accused protesters, angered by the alleged rape of a girl from the Baluch minority by a police commander, of provoking the clashes.

Internet monitor Netblocks reported a “significant disruption” to the internet in Zahedan on Friday, saying authorities had “systematically shut down telecoms to suppress weekly anti-government protests.”

BERLIN, Sept 29 (Reuters) – Switzerland adopted

BERLIN, Sept 29 (Reuters) – Switzerland adopted further sanctions in connection with Iran‘s drone deliveries to Russia, in line with European Union measures, the government said in a statement on Friday.

The sale, supply, export and transit of components used for the manufacture and production of drones is now prohibited, and targeted financial and travel sanctions against persons and entities connected with support for Iran‘s drone programme are in place, added Switzerland’s Federal Council.
