LONDON, Oct 5 (Reuters) – The United States has re

LONDON, Oct 5 (Reuters) – The United States has removed its fleet of bombers from a British airbase a week after five men were arrested nearby on suspicion of preparing terrorist acts as part of a suspected Iranian plot, the details of which remain largely unexplained.

Below is what we know so far:

WHAT HAPPENED?

Police were called to RAF Fairford, 90 miles (145 km) west of London, early on Sunday, September 27, and arrested five suspects who were released on bail a day later.

A local farmer had called police, saying she saw three large white vans parked near the base and a group of “hooded and masked men” running into a field nearby. The Times reported that another person who contacted the police was one of the five arrested.

Armed officers responded to the calls and made the arrests in the Whelford area, about a mile from the base, before evacuating nearby properties and searching three vehicles.

The five were initially arrested on suspicion of offences under the explosives act and later on suspicion of preparation of a terrorist act.

DUBAI, Oct 5 (Reuters) – Iran executed two men arrested over January protests in Isfahan in connection with the deaths of four police officers, the judiciary’s Mizan news agency reported on Monday.

It said the Supreme Court upheld their sentences and they were executed on Monday morning.

Welcome to the Kayhan Life Week in Review Mediato

Welcome to the Kayhan Life Week in Review

Mediators unsuccessfully struggled to break the diplomatic deadlock between the Islamic Republic and the U.S., as Washington imposed new weapons sanctions and ordered the Islamic Republic’s delegation to leave New York. The IRGC urged American voters to reject Trump’s congressional allies. Still, the U.S. withdrew its forces from Iraq, raising fears of a vacuum that could strengthen militias backed by the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC). In Britain, officials cited “strong indications” of Tehran’s involvement in a suspected plot near RAF Fairford.

Inside Iran, seven months of war deepened families’ struggle to afford food, housing and medicine. Repression continued: authorities executed two men convicted of killing security personnel during January’s protests, while the Basij began training boys as young as 12 in weapons, drones and intelligence.

As talks faltered in New York, Washington widened its wartime economic campaign against Tehran.

Kayhan Life’s “Week in Review” brings together the key stories, connects international developments with life inside Iran, and draws a crucial distinction between the interests of the Islamic Republic and those of the Iranian people.

“With acceptance of Mohsen Paknejad’s resignation by Dr. Pezeshkian, Hamid Bovard has been appointed as acting oil minister”, Tabatabaei saidearlieron Sunday, according to state media.

Before news of his resignation, Paknejad was quoted by state media as saying “revenues of the oil that we have sold are still coming and that will continue God willing”.

By Kayhan Life Staff Oct. 4 - The rate of inflatio

By Kayhan Life Staff
Oct. 4 - The rate of inflation in Iran reached 89.8 percent in the month of September, according to a report by the Statistical Center of Iran. That represents the highest year-on-year inflation rate recorded since World War II.

Economic experts blame the budget deficit and the government’s ways of financing it as being among the main drivers of inflation in Iran. They argue that even without the recent war, inflation would have continued to climb.

Meanwhile, Abdolnaser Hemmati, Governor of the Central Bank of the Islamic Republic of Iran, said inflation had declined in September. A Central Bank report on September prices put year-on-year inflation at 83.8 percent, annual inflation at 68.4 percent, and monthly inflation at 3.9 percent.

According to the SCI report, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for households nationwide reached 729.8 in September, up 4.2 percent from the previous month. In other words, between Aug. 23 and Sept. 23, prices nationwide increased by 4.2 percent in just four weeks.

The SCI report showed that eight categories — including food and beverages, tobacco, household goods and services, transportation, communications, recreation and culture, hotels and restaurants, and miscellaneous goods and services — recorded inflation rates above 100 percent in September. Year-on-year food inflation reached approximately 121 percent during the month.

According to the SCI, year-on-year inflation for rural households reached 108.9 percent in September. This means that rural residents, on average, paid more than twice as much for the same basket of goods and services as they did a year earlier.

The report also showed that, in terms of monthly inflation, the “miscellaneous goods and services” category recorded the highest rate, at 8.5 percent, contributing 0.4 percentage points to overall monthly inflation.

It was followed by “transportation,” with monthly inflation of 7.9 percent and a 0.66 percentage-point contribution.

The “vegetables (vegetables and legumes)” category recorded monthly inflation of 5.7 percent, contributing 0.28 percentage points to monthly inflation in September.
