July 13 (Reuters) – The foreign ministers of Germa

July 13 (Reuters) – The foreign ministers of Germany, France and Britain condemned on Monday Iran‘s attacks on commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and on countries in the region.

“We condemn Iran‘ heinous attacks on merchant shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and on countries in the region, including Qatar, Kuwait, Oman and Jordan,” they said in a joint statement.

The group, which is known as the E-3, called for the restoration of the ceasefire and the resumption of negotiations between the warring parties.

LONDON, July 13 (Reuters) – The U.S. military will

LONDON, July 13 (Reuters) – The U.S. military will begin enforcing a maritime blockade on Iran on Tuesday, the U.S. Navy-led Joint Maritime Information Center (JMIC) said on Monday.

The blockade, covering all of Iran‘s ports, oil terminals and coastal areas, will be enforced for all vessel traffic – regardless of flag – from 2000 GMT on July 14, the center said in an advisory.

“Any vessel suspected of entering or departing the blockaded area without authorization is subject to interception, diversion, and capture. Non-compliant vessels may be legally compelled with force,” the statement said.

The center said neutral transit through the Strait of Hormuz heading to or from non-Iranian destinations will not be impeded.

By William James
LONDON, July 13 (Reuters) – Britain banned support for Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and a linked group on Monday following a series of antisemitic attacks, using new powers designed to stop the use of state-sponsored proxies.

The government and intelligence agencies have become increasingly concerned about foreign powers paying organised crime groups or low-level criminals for surveillance, sabotage or other activities on their behalf.

The ban follows attacks on Jewish-linked sites in London, including the torching of four Jewish community ambulances.

“These new powers will make it easier to prosecute and lock up anyone carrying out their dirty work here in Britain,” Prime Minister Keir Starmer said in a statement.

Britain said it had identified activity linked to the IRGC involving threats to life and intimidation on British soil, and that the group used proxy actors to advance Iranian state objectives overseas.

The government said the IRGC had “almost certainly” directed another group, The Islamic Movement of Companions of the Right, which Britain said had claimed seven attacks at locations in Britain linked to Jewish and Israeli communities, and Persian-language media.

Iran, which is at war with the United States and Israel, has previously denied using proxies. The Iranian embassy in London did not immediately respond to a Reuters ⁠request for comment on the British government’s latest action.

The new powers, similar to proscription, seek to close a gap in existing laws around state-linked actors and make it illegal to show support for those groups.

LONDON, July 13 (Reuters) – Britain has proscribed Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist organization, Sky News reported on Monday.

By Nate Raymond
BOSTON, July 13 (Reuters) – An Iranian-born engineer was convicted on Monday of U.S. charges that he conspired to illegally export technology with potential application in military drones to a company in Iran whose customers included the country’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

Mahdi Sadeghi, a dual U.S.-Iranian citizen and resident of Natick, Massachusetts who had worked at Analog Devices prior to his December 2024 arrest, was found guilty by a federal jury in Boston on three counts, including conspiracy to export technology to Iran in violation of U.S. sanctions.

The jury found Sadeghi not guilty on two other counts alleging violations of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani scheduled his sentencing for October 13.

Sadeghi’s lawyers declined to comment. They had argued at trial that he was innocent and had no reason to risk his career and the life he had built in the United States by breaking the law.

Prosecutors charged Sadeghi alongside an Iranian businessman they say ran a company that made a navigation system used in Iran‘s military drones, including one that struck a U.S. outpost in Jordan in January 2024. The attack by Iran-backed militants killed three U.S. service members and wounded over 40 others.

The businessman, Mohammad Abedini, was arrested in Italy at the request of the U.S. government but was released in January 2025 after Iran detained an Italian journalist, who was also freed later, in an incident that drew international attention.

Sadeghi, 43, proceeded to trial alone on charges against him, none of which concerned the attack in Jordan. The judge overseeing the case barred prosecutors from introducing evidence about the Jordan incident at his trial to avoid “unfair prejudice.”

Instead, the case focused on what prosecutors said were Sadeghi’s efforts to illegally procure and export technology, particularly sensors, from Analog Devices to Abedini’s Iran-based company, San’at Danesh Rahpooyan Aflak Co, or SDRA, which made the navigation system.

Sound on - A dictator requires no portrait; it is

Sound on - A dictator requires no portrait; it is the testimony of his victims that ultimately shapes his place in history.
In central London, an exhibit referred to as the “Ali Khamenei Crimes Hall” serves as a quiet but pointed reminder of abuses its organizers say must not be forgotten.
Regimes and their leaders eventually pass from power, but the historical record they leave behind endures.
