WASHINGTON, July 26 (Reuters) – U.S. President Don WASHINGTON, July 26 (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump has paused attacks on Iran to allow more room for diplomacy, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations told Fox News. “He’s giving talks some space, he’s giving it a little bit of room,” Mike Waltz told the broadcaster on Sunday. Waltz did not provide further detail on the nature of the talks, but there has been a weekend lull in the fighting between Iran and the United States. The Pentagon paused bombing operations after 13 nights of escalating strikes and there were no weekend reports of attacks by Iran on its neighbors. Asked about the pause, a senior official in ​Trump’s administration said on Saturday that the president “has always been clear that his preference is diplomacy, but he has shown Iran what will happen if they fail to come ​to the table in a serious way.” (Reporting by Raphael Satter, editing by Deepa Babington)
By Raphael Satter and Lefteris Papadimas WASHINGTO By Raphael Satter and Lefteris Papadimas WASHINGTON/ATHENS, July 26 (Reuters) – The Iran war broadened over the weekend despite a pause in U.S. strikes, as Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthis attacked Saudi oil installations along the Red Sea coast and Iran accused Ukraine of targeting one of its vessels in the Caspian Sea. The U.S. military said on Saturday its naval blockade against Iran “remains in full effect” but did not explain why it halted a streak of 13 nights of escalating strikes. There were also no weekend reports of attacks by Iran on neighbors, similar to its daily rejoinders to the U.S. attacks. Asked about the pause, a senior official in President Donald Trump’s administration said Trump “has always been clear that his preference is diplomacy, but he has shown Iran what will happen if they fail to come to the table in a serious way.” Trump has decided, for now, to back away from plans to ramp up attacks on Iran, the New York Times said on Saturday, citing two people briefed on the discussion. The president and his advisers, the newspaper said, have concerns about expanding the conflict, depleting defense stockpiles, alienating Middle East [Persian] Gulf allies and affecting energy supplies and the global economy.
By Kayhan Life Staff July 26 - The Islamic Republi By Kayhan Life Staff July 26 - The Islamic Republic is stepping up death sentences against citizens arrested during the January protests in Iran, which were brutally cracked down and resulted in the deaths of tens of thousands. Norway-based Iran Human Rights (IHR) has reported that death sentences have been issued against 70 detainees held at Dastgerd Prison, also known as Isfahan Central Prison, in Isfahan alone. Several other detainees imprisoned there are facing serious charges, including moharebeh (enmity against God), and may also receive death sentences. And based on cases documented over the past six months, approximately 20 detainees arrested during the January protests have reportedly been executed. The latest detainee to receive a death sentence in Dastgerd Prison in Isfahan is Mehnam Navab-Safavi. According to human rights sources, he was sentenced to death on a charge of moharebeh by Branch 5 of the Isfahan Revolutionary Court, presided over by Judge Hemmatinejad. The charges against him include “moharebeh through participation in the destruction of public property,” “propaganda against the regime,” “assembly and collusion against national security,” and “encouraging people to kill one another.” Meanwhile, the U.S.-based Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA) reports that the death sentences against Ahad Shokouhian — among those arrested during the nationwide protests, which took place from Dec. 22, 2025, to Jan. 20, 2026 — have been upheld by Branch 9 of the Supreme Court of the Islamic Republic of Iran. According to the report, Shokouhian had previously been sentenced to death on three separate counts by Branch 26 of the Tehran Revolutionary Court, presided over by Judge Iman Afshari.
By Katayoon Halajan (@katayoonhalajan) July 26 - By Katayoon Halajan (@katayoonhalajan) July 26 - Azad Andalibi, editor-in-chief of Baru Magazine, is an editor, writer, translator, and one of the co-founders and directors of the Library of Babel, an initiative active in book criticism and reviewing in Iran. Baru, edited by Andalibi, began publishing in 2021. To date, 14 issues have been published. The magazine publishes uncensored articles, short stories, poetry translations, essays, interviews, and reviews of art and books online. Its print edition also reaches readers in Iran through underground distribution networks. According to its editor, several generations of Iranian writers working across a wide range of fields have contributed to Baru. Approximately seven months ago, following a raid on his home by agents of the Ministry of Intelligence of the Islamic Republic of Iran — and amid immediate threats to his life and well-being — Andalibi went into exile. He has been living in France for approximately three months. In an interview with Kayhan Life, Andalibi discussed the Islamic Republic’s censorship apparatus and its security-driven cultural engineering, as well as writers’ resistance to it. Government censorship in Iran has a long history. What distinguishes the Islamic Republic’s censorship apparatus from those of previous governments?

July 25 (Reuters) – A spokesperson for Iran‘s Revo July 25 (Reuters) – A spokesperson for Iran‘s Revolutionary Guards said on Saturday that Britain would become a “definite and legitimate target” if it supported the U.S. in any war with Tehran, according to Iranian state broadcaster IRIB. The spokesperson said any country, including Britain and Gulf states, that backed the U.S. in a conflict would be considered a legitimate target, adding that U.S. bombers had recently used British airfields.

By Lefteris Papadimas and Idrees Ali ATHENS/WASHIN By Lefteris Papadimas and Idrees Ali ATHENS/WASHINGTON, July 25 (Reuters) – Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthi militants fired on Saudi oil installations in two ports on the Red Sea coast on Saturday, but the U.S. held back from launching air strikes on Iran for the first night in two weeks. Washington gave no immediate explanation of why it had abruptly halted a streak of 13 nights of escalating strikes in retaliation for Iranian attacks on shipping in the Strait of Hormuz since an interim deal to end hostilities collapsed. “It seems that our dear Iran had a peaceful night last night,” Health Ministry spokesperson Hossein Kermanpour said on X.
