CAIRO, Aug 18 (Reuters) – The United Arab Emirates

CAIRO, Aug 18 (Reuters) – The United Arab Emirates’ defense ministry said on Tuesday that it had detected two ballistic missiles launched from Iran, the first such incident reported since a May 4 strike on the Fujairah port.
The defense ministry said in a statement later that the missiles were targeting “maritime traffic” based on its assessments. Both missiles fell into the sea, it added.

There was no immediate comment from Iran.

The missile launch comes as a 60-day window for U.S.-Iranian peace talks expired on Monday without a breakthrough, raising fears of a new escalation in the conflict that has disrupted shipping through the Strait of Hormuz since February.

“The defense ministry affirms its full readiness to deal with any threats and firmly confront anything that aims to destabilize the state’s security,” it said in a statement.

The UAE’s interior ministry sent a phone alert earlier on Tuesday to residents stating that the situation was safe and people should resume normal activities after an earlier alert warning of a missile threat.

The UAE had accused Iran recently of attacking its state-owned ADNOC vessels while transiting the Strait of Hormuz.

Iran has not claimed responsibility for the attacks on ADNOC vessels. Iran‘s Revolutionary Guards have previously threatened action against vessels transiting the strait if they are linked to Tehran’s adversaries or fail to comply with Iranian directives.

By AJ Vicens
Aug 18 (Reuters) – The U.S. Department of Justice on Tuesday unsealed new and updated charges against 17 individuals working with an Iranian company that it alleges carried out hacks and data theft against U.S. universities, companies and government agencies.

The DOJ said in a statement that the individuals were working with the Mabna Institute, which carried out hacking campaigns on behalf of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and other Iranian government and university clients.

The campaigns targeted hundreds of U.S. and international universities, dozens of U.S. companies, and at least five U.S. state and federal government agencies, it said.

A previous indictment announced in March 2018 had charged nine of the 17 with a hacking campaign that targeted the U.S. Labor Department, the United Nations and computer networks in Hawaii and Indiana.

The Iranian government’s representatives at the United Nations in New York did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Contact information for the Mabna Institute was not immediately available.

The charges announced on Tuesday reveal “the broader network allegedly behind a sweeping, state-sponsored campaign to steal research and intellectual property from American universities, businesses, and government institutions,” U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York Jamie McDonald said in the statement.

The U.S. State Department’s Rewards for Justice program on Tuesday announced a $10 million reward for information leading to the location of several of the people included in Tuesday’s charges.

According to Tuesday’s statement by the DOJ, the Mabna Institute since at least 2013 and through 2017 targeted more than 100,000 accounts of professors around the world, including the successful penetration of roughly 8,000 professor email accounts across 144 U.S.-based universities and 178 universities in other countries.

PARIS, Aug 18 (Reuters) – France will expel two Ir

PARIS, Aug 18 (Reuters) – France will expel two Iranian diplomats in the coming days in response to an incident in July involving two staff of the French embassy in Tehran.

“I had announced that this intolerable act would have consequences. And so it has. Two Iranian diplomats in France will be expelled in the very near future,” Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot said in a post on X.

Last month, the French ministry said the two French embassy staff had been detained and physically intimidated by Iranian security services in Tehran.

Barrot had summoned the Iranian charge d’affaires in Paris in protest following the incident on July 19.

Barrot’s comments came one day after the Iranian ministry said two French embassy employees, who were involved in July in a diplomatic dispute in Tehran, would not be allowed to return to Iran.

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said the two French staff had violated the Vienna Convention — which defines the rules and privileges of diplomatic missions — by engaging in activities supporting Iranian civil society.

French Foreign Ministry spokesperson Pascal Confavreux said in a statement that “the Iranian authorities have chosen to make completely false accusations against our agents and to fabricate a case of interference to justify their actions.”

A rare sighting in the Nava mountains of Iran’s Ma

A rare sighting in the Nava mountains of Iran’s Mazandaran province has produced new footage of a Pallas’s cat, also known as a manul, one of the country’s most elusive and poorly understood felines. The species is named after the German naturalist Peter Simon Pallas, who first described it in the 18th century. Nature enthusiast Majid Batebi said little is known about the species’ range or numbers in Iran, and that the sighting points to the need to protect Mazandaran’s mountain habitats beyond the Hyrcanian forests.

DUBAI/WASHINGTON, Aug 17 (Reuters) – Iran will shi

DUBAI/WASHINGTON, Aug 17 (Reuters) – Iran will shift to a “fully offensive” military posture because efforts to negotiate a permanent end to the war with the U.S. have stalled, a senior Iranian official told Reuters on Monday, as Washington ruled out extending a temporary ceasefire agreement.

Outward progress towards peace talks and a resumption of oil tanker traffic through the strategic Strait of Hormuz has ground to a halt, threatening to extend the conflict that the U.S. and Israel launched with attacks on Iran on February 28.

“Iranian entities must be prepared to escalate tensions in the Strait of Hormuz and wider region, as Iran will be ready to make decisions and take action on difficult decisions,” the Iranian official said, adding that Tehran would conduct a “timely and precise” military attack to break the U.S. naval blockade if diplomacy failed.

A memorandum of understanding signed in June to end the war had given Iran and the U.S. until Monday to reach a final peace agreement.

Signed on June 17, the memorandum set a 60-day time frame for a broader deal on Iran‘s nuclear programme and U.S. sanctions.

The agreement, which declared the “immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts,” quickly unravelled over a dispute about control of the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow waterway through which a fifth of global oil and liquefied natural gas flowed before the war.

Asked by reporters on Monday if the U.S. was seeking to extend June’s interim agreement, U.S. President Donald Trump said no.

In one glimmer of diplomacy, media reports said Trump had opened back-channel discussions with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, which has become more powerful during the war and controls large parts of Iran‘s armed forces and the economy.

Axios, citing two sources with direct knowledge, reported that former Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard spoke with an Iraqi Kurdish leader with close ties to the IRGC, and that through this intermediary the U.S. delivered a message to IRGC commander General Ahmad Vahidi. Fox News later reported that Trump confirmed the report in a telephone interview.

Aug 18 (Reuters) – The United Kingdom Maritime Tra

Aug 18 (Reuters) – The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) received a report on Tuesday that a vessel was struck by an unknown projectile while transiting outbound in the Strait of Hormuz, causing engine room damage and a crew casualty, with the remaining crew being assisted by the Omani Coast Guard.

No environmental impact has been reported and authorities are investigating, UKMTO said.

The incident comes as shipping through the Strait of Hormuz remains severely disrupted, with vessel crossings still in the single digits, down from more than 130 a day before the war.
