By Kayhan Life Staff
August 19 - Foad Pashaei, secretary-general of the Constitutionalist Party of Iran (Liberal Democrat), was seriously injured in what the exiled political group described as an assassination attempt at his home in Los Angeles on Aug. 17.

Pashaei was taken to the hospital after the attack and admitted to intensive care.

Kayhan Life spoke with Pashaei and his wife at the hospital on the evening of Aug. 18. They said the FBI was investigating the attack alongside local law enforcement authorities.

Kayhan Life was also told that Pashaei had been warned approximately two weeks before the attack that he could be targeted and had been advised to take additional security precautions.

The attack occurred at about 7:45 p.m. local time. The security cameras at Pashaei’s private residence had been disabled before the assault, according to information obtained by Kayhan Life.

Shirin Ebadi, the Iranian lawyer, human-rights advocate, and 2003 Nobel Peace Prize laureate, strongly condemned the attack and directly accused the Islamic Republic of responsibility. In a statement titled “Assassination Attempt in the Heart of America: How Far Must the Islamic Republic Go Before the World Wakes Up?” Ebadi said that, given what she described as the Islamic Republic’s “long and bloody history” of targeting opponents, she believed the assault was politically motivated and had been ordered from Tehran.

DUBAI, Aug 19 – The United Arab Emirates’ decision

DUBAI, Aug 19 – The United Arab Emirates’ decision to suspend all financial and economic transactions with Iran until further notice, citing a military escalation by Tehran with a missile threat, has refocused the spotlight on fraught ties between the major Persian Gulf Arab oil producer and Iran.

The UAE, a close U.S. ally and regional power, was the Gulf state most heavily hit by Tehran during the early stages of the Middle East war. However, the last reported attack on UAE soil was the May 4 strike on Fujairah port, a key oil export hub.

The move by the UAE to sever commercial ties came after its defence ministry said that it had detected two ballistic missiles launched from Iran, an incident that marked the first time in months that residents received telephone alerts warning of possible threats.

In a statement, the ministry said the missiles targeted “maritime traffic” based on its assessments. Both missiles fell into the sea, it said.

The UAE also sent a phone alert on Tuesday to residents stating that the situation was safe and people should resume normal activities after the earlier warning.

Iran‘s foreign ministry rejected the statement by the UAE that its missiles targeted maritime traffic, describing it as “baseless.”

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. Departmen

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.
