Nov. 7 – Iran’s government said it had receive

Nov. 7 – Iran’s government said it had received communications signaling a desire to resume talks about its nuclear program after foreign media reports suggested that Washington had shared a proposal to resume such talks through Oman.

A spokeswoman for President Masoud Pezeshkian’s administration said a message about the talks had been received but did not confirm who had sent the communication.

Iran and the US had been engaged in diplomatic discussions about the Islamic Republic’s nuclear program before a war in June launched by Israel against Iran in which several of its nuclear sites were damaged.

Israel’s President Benjamin Netanyahu said that Israel was prepared to take further action against Iran-aligned proxy groups in Lebanon and Yemen, following an Israeli offensive against Hezbollah on the Lebanese border.

Israel has continued to target armed groups in the Middle East, which it says represent a threat to the country’s security.

The ongoing military action has raised fears that it may reignite the conflict in the region following a ceasefire in November last year.

And Australian lawmakers said they were a step closer to listing the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organization, as a bill to list foreign state entities as sponsors of terrorism passed through the senate on Thursday.

The legislation was introduced by Australia’s Labor Party after the government received credible intelligence that the IRGC was behind two anti-Semitic attacks in Australia.

The IRGC is currently listed as a terrorist organization in the U.S. and Canada.

Nov. 7 - Across the Middle East and extending to Africa, the Islamic Republic’s vast network of influence is showing signs of decay. The ideological project that once fueled militancy now resembles a deserted field — its old symbols of resistance standing like scarecrows.

In Iraq, the government is being pressed by the U.S. to dismantle militias backed by Tehran. Washington is also targeting individuals who have diverted millions from Tehran to Hezbollah.

In southern Lebanon, Israel has intensified strikes on Hezbollah positions to prevent rearmament, as the Lebanese Army takes a rare step toward disarming the group. Israeli operations have also extended to the clerical state’s drone supply chains in Africa, while Egyptian mediators in Rafah urge weary Hamas fighters to surrender their weapons in exchange for safe passage.

At the center of this surreal wasteland lies the heart of the old struggle. It once beat with promises of liberation and paradise; now it sits, fenced and rusting.

Even in Iran, the revolutionary defiance has given way to contempt for the theocracy. The old, repetitive slogans strain the eardrums of the one-time warriors, who are kept awake at night by the hungry rumble of their empty stomachs.

The scarecrows still stand, relics of an empire built on defiance. Their heads are sacks, not of ideas, but of sand.

WASHINGTON, Nov 7 (Reuters) – Iran‘s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps plotted to assassinate Israel’s ambassador to Mexico starting late last year, but the effort was contained and there is no current threat, a U.S. official said on Friday.

The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the plot against the ambassador, Einat Kranz Neiger, was active through the first half of this year.

“The plot was contained and does not pose a current threat,” the official told Reuters. “This is just the latest in a long history of Iran‘s global lethal targeting of diplomats, journalists, dissidents, and anyone who disagrees with them, something that should deeply worry every country where there is an Iranian presence.”

The official declined to say how the plot was foiled or offer more details about the operation.

Iran’s mission to the U.N. in New York declined to comment.

The United States and its allies have frequently alleged that Iran and its proxies have sought to launch violent attacks against Tehran’s opponents.

Security services in Britain and Sweden warned last year that Tehran was using criminal proxies to carry out its violent attacks in those countries, with London saying it had disrupted 20 Iran-linked plots since 2022.

A dozen other countries have condemned what they called a surge in assassination, kidnapping, and harassment plots by Iranian intelligence services.

Nov. 7 - Tehran officials on Friday revealed a new statue depicting Roman Emperor Valerian in a kneeling posture before Shapur I, the ancient Persian monarch who once captured him in battle. The installation, located in a prominent public space, draws from a well-known episode in third-century history and appears to underscore Iran’s pre-Islamic heritage at a moment of heightened national reflection.
The unveiling comes amid broader efforts by the Islamic Republic to emphasize cultural continuity and national pride following the June conflict with Israel. By invoking imagery from Iran’s imperial past, authorities may be seeking to foster a sense of unity and resilience rooted in historical identity, while navigating contemporary geopolitical tensions.
