July 12 - Michael Shayan, an Iranian-born, Harvard

July 12 - Michael Shayan, an Iranian-born, Harvard-trained writer, performer, and illusionist, is capping a milestone year with his Broadway debut in “Dog Day Afternoon,” where he made history as the first openly queer Iranian-Jewish man to perform on Broadway, an achievement recently honored by a NYC Council member.

The run comes as the latest peak in a career already marked by distinction: Shayan earned an Emmy nomination in 2023 for his writing on Max’s “The Book of Queer,” where he also served as consulting producer, and was named to that year’s Out100 list.

His path to the stage started early, becoming the youngest performer in the Magic Castle’s history at just 13, and later found its most personal expression in his acclaimed solo play “Avaaz,” which toured nationally and dramatized his mother’s journey from Tehran to “Tehran-geles,” California, the same immigrant story that shaped his own upbringing in America.

Fittingly, his historic Broadway run wraps its limited engagement today, July 12, 2026, closing out this chapter of a career built on breaking new ground.

From Prince Reza Pahlavi on X: “I am deeply sadden

From Prince Reza Pahlavi on X: “I am deeply saddened by the sudden passing of Senator Lindsey Graham, a steadfast friend of the Iranian people and a proud defender of freedom.

At moments when moral clarity was required, Senator Graham stood on the right side. When friends were seldom found, he stood alongside the people of Iran in their struggle against tyranny.

He used his voice to ensure that the voices of those fighting for justice were heard in the halls of power. His support for Iran’s Lion and Sun Revolution earned him the title “Uncle Lindsey” among Iranians. He will be remembered with profound gratitude and deep respect.

We extend our deepest condolences to Senator Graham’s family, loved ones, colleagues, and the people of South Carolina and the United States.

May he rest in peace and may others carry on the fight for freedom.

Reza Pahlavi”

July 12 (Reuters) – U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham, a

July 12 (Reuters) – U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham, a key Republican who went from a vocal critic of Donald Trump to one of his most loyal allies on Capitol Hill after Trump became president, has died at age 71.

The South Carolina lawmaker died after a “brief and sudden illness,” his office posted on X early on Sunday. NBC News said emergency personnel had responded to a call for cardiac arrest at his Capitol Hill home on Saturday night.

Shortly after his death was announced, Trump called Graham “one of the greatest people and senators I have known” and a hard-working patriot.

During the 2016 campaign, during which Graham was among many Republicans who lost the presidential nomination to Trump, he posted on social media: “If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed … and we will deserve it.”

Later, after becoming a staunch supporter, Graham publicly disagreed with Trump’s early 2025 decision to pardon about 1,500 of the president’s supporters who attacked the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, saying it could lead to more violence.

A defense hawk, Graham “consistently pushed for outcomes in the War on Terror that protect our long-term national security interests,” his website said. He was a prominent supporter of Israel and Ukraine and opponent of Iran.

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz posted on X that he was deeply saddened by the death of Graham, “who stood with Israel at its most difficult moments.”

WASHINGTON/DUBAI, July 12 (Reuters) – U.S. and Iranian forces exchanged heavy missile and drone strikes with Tehran targeting U.S. facilities in states across the Persian Gulf on Sunday after saying it had again closed the vital Strait of Hormuz.

A series of attacks between the U.S. and Iran over the past several days led President Donald Trump to declare the end of a ceasefire meant to halt the fighting that the U.S. and Israel began on February 28, though Trump has left the door open to continued negotiations.

The escalation followed several attacks on commercial ships in the area. Iran said it had closed the strait after firing a warning shot that struck a vessel traveling on an unapproved route, and said on Sunday it had disabled a second vessel.

The strait will remain closed until “the end of U.S. interference in this region,” Iran‘s Revolutionary Guards said.

U.S. Central Command, however, said commercial vessels continue to transit through the waterway that carried one-fifth of the world’s oil and LNG shipments before the war.

Central Command said U.S. forces hit 140 Iranian military targets on Saturday, out of more than 300 during three nights of strikes “to degrade Iran’s ability to attack civilian mariners and commercial vessels freely transiting the strait.”

Iranian state media reported explosions in a number of port cities.

In response, the Guards said they had destroyed a command and control center and drone hangars at U.S. ally Jordan, targeted a U.S. radar site in Kuwait, attacked U.S. aircraft carrier support and refueling platforms in Oman and destroyed a jet maintenance centre and command facility in Qatar.

July 12 (Reuters) – Iran‘s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said on Sunday that its aerospace forces carried out a heavy attack on U.S. aircraft carrier support and refueling platforms in the port of Duqm, in Oman, in the third stage of its response to what it called U.S. military ‘aggression.’

The IRGC added that the operation targeted logistical support centres for U.S. naval vessels.
