Kayhan Life: What would you like moviegoers to take away from the experience of watching “77 Hours”?

Director Vahid Mahdavi: I want audiences to leave the cinema with the feeling that they have witnessed something that cannot be ignored. The film is intense, but its purpose is not shock for the sake of shock. It is about forcing us to look at what is often hidden.
I would like moviegoers to think about the cost of silence, the fragility of truth under dictatorship, and the courage of ordinary people who risk everything simply to be heard. The film is also about survival – not only physical survival, but the survival of memory.
If audiences leave with more empathy, more awareness, and a stronger sense that these stories must be documented and remembered, then the film has done its job.

At the NATO summit in Ankara, President Trump told

At the NATO summit in Ankara, President Trump told reporters he now considers the ceasefire with Iran finished, saying he sees no point in continuing to engage with Tehran’s leadership. He described Iranian officials in harshly dismissive terms, calling them dangerous and untrustworthy, and said further talks would be pointless. His remarks came shortly after the U.S. and Iran had exchanged strikes, raising doubts about whether the memorandum of understanding reached last month would hold.

By Kayhan Life Staff
July 8 - A psychological thriller inspired by the events of January 8th and 9th in Iran — in which an estimated tens of thousands of protesters were massacred by the security forces of the Islamic Republic — is getting its premiere on Friday, July 10th at London’s Curzon Soho Cinema.

“77 Hours” — written and directed by the Iranian filmmaker and former television professional Vahid Mahdavi — is a survival thriller and political drama that takes place in Tehran during the nights of January 8 and 9, when Iran’s streets became the scene of one of the bloodiest crackdowns in recent history.

Kayhan Life recently interviewed Mahdavi about his upcoming film.

The movie “77 hours” has been written, produced and directed in a very short space of time. When and how did the idea for this movie first come about?

The idea for “77 Hours” came very quickly after the events of January 2026. Like many Iranians, I was deeply affected by the reports, images, testimonies and fragmented accounts that were coming out despite the Internet blackout. What struck me most was not only the scale of the violence, but the silence around it internationally.

ANKARA, July 8 (Reuters) – The new attacks by the

ANKARA, July 8 (Reuters) – The new attacks by the U.S. on Iran were “absolutely necessary”, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said on Wednesday.

“When you have a ceasefire and Iran is basically violating the ceasefire, I think it is totally crucial that the U.S. forcefully react,” Rutte told reporters before a summit of NATO leaders in Ankara.

By Kanishka Singh
WASHINGTON, July 7 (Reuters) – A lawsuit filed on Tuesday alleged that President Donald Trump’s administration illegally shared confidential information about Iranian asylum seekers with Iran‘s government, allegations the Trump administration denied.

Lawyers with the left-leaning Public Citizen Litigation Group were representing the Iranian American Legal Defense Fund in the suit.

The lawsuit alleged that the Trump administration adopted a policy last year of providing Iran “with confidential information from the immigration files of Iranians seeking asylum in the United States.”

“Many of the asylum seekers are pro-democracy protestors, members of religious minorities such as Evangelical Christians, or members of the LGBTQ community who seek refuge in the United States because of the grave dangers they face in Iran,” it added.

The policy continued despite last year’s U.S. strikes against Iran during the Israel-Iran war, Iran‘s crackdown on protesters and the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran that was launched on February 28, the lawsuit alleged.

“These allegations that ICE shared asylum application records with the Iranian government are FALSE,” the Department of Homeland Security, of which the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency is a part, said in a statement.

“ICE is committed to ensuring that illegal aliens are informed of their right to communicate with their consular representatives.”

July 8 (Reuters) – Iran‘s Revolutionary Guards sai

July 8 (Reuters) – Iran‘s Revolutionary Guards said they targeted U.S. military sites in Bahrain and Kuwait on Wednesday after the U.S. launched a wave of military strikes on Iran in response to attacks on tankers in the Strait of Hormuz.

In the latest blow to the fragile ceasefire agreement, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said it carried out a joint missile and drone operation against key U.S. military sites in Bandar Salman, Bahrain’s Fifth Naval District and Ali Al Salem Air Base in Kuwait, and shot down a U.S. MQ9 drone attempting to interfere in the operation.

Air raid sirens sounded in Bahrain and Kuwait, officials said. The Kuwaiti army said air defences were confronting “hostile” missile and drone attacks.

The U.S. earlier unleashed fresh military strikes and revoked a licence allowing Iran to sell oil in response to attacks on three tankers in the strait.

The U.S. Central Command said more than 60 small boats of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps were among the targets hit, in a bid to impose a heavy cost on Iran for strikes on shipping in violation of the ceasefire.

“The unwarranted aggression by Iranian forces is a clear and dangerous violation of the ceasefire and undermines freedom of navigation,” CENTCOM said in a statement.

Iran‘s top joint military command, Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, condemned the U.S. strikes as a “blatant act of aggression,” threatened a “crushing response,” and warned that Tehran would not allow U.S. interference in the management of the strait.
