DUBAI, Sept 30 (Reuters) – Iran executed two men [Ali Hekmati and Majid Nikandish] on Wednesday who had been convicted for their role in killing four security forces during the January 2026 protests in the northeastern city of Mashhad, the Student News Networks reported.

Iran’s Supreme Court upheld the men’s death sentences and the executions were carried out after the legal process was completed, SNN said.

BAGHDAD/WASHINGTON, Sept 30 (Reuters) – Iran‘s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps urged Americans to vote out US President Donald Trump’s allies in Congress as US forces were due to withdraw from their remaining bases in neighbouring Iraq on Wednesday in a departure celebrated by Tehran.

Meanwhile, Qatar continued to promote its shuttle diplomacy aimed at ending the seven-month-old war between Iran and the United States. Trump once again predicted a swift surrender for Iran.

The 26-page letter by the Guards, published on Tuesday, urges Americans to use their political power to remove current leaders from office and reject US support for Israel and military intervention abroad.

DUBAI, Sept 29 (Reuters) – Iran‘s Revolutionary Gu

DUBAI, Sept 29 (Reuters) – Iran‘s Revolutionary Guards, whose power and influence have expanded since the US and Israel pursued war against Iran, have appealed to US midterm voters to reject President Donald Trump’s policies and accept an offer of peaceful coexistence.

The assertions were made on Tuesday in a 25-page open letter addressed to the American people, urging them to oppose US support for Israel and foreign wars and arguing that Iran and the US could coexist if US policy changed.

The letter accused Trump of concealing the peaceful nature of Iran‘s nuclear program, which Israel in particular sees as an existential threat, and the effectiveness of Tehran’s blockade of Persian Gulf oil.

IRGC spokesperson Hossein Mohebbi told reporters he did not expect the letter to affect the US administration’s behavior some five weeks before the elections, but that voters might hear the message.

“The American people are not knowledgeable about many developments. We believe if they knew more, they would think differently and take other decisions,” he said.

Sept 29 (Reuters) – US President Donald Trump said

Sept 29 (Reuters) – US President Donald Trump said he has offered Iran nothing to end the war, rejecting media reports that cited US officials saying he was willing to ease sanctions and release frozen funds for “concrete” steps regarding Iran‘s nuclear program.

“This is untrue. I offered them NOTHING,” Trump wrote on Truth Social on Monday.

Axios and CNN both reported, citing unidentified US officials, that Trump was willing to give Iran sanctions relief and free Iranian funds as part of a final deal on the condition that Iran showed “concrete progress” on the nuclear issue.

Trump has cited preventing Tehran from acquiring a nuclear bomb as a key goal of the war, along with ending its ability to attack its neighbours and creating conditions for Iranians to topple their leadership.

WASHINGTON, Sept 29 – The United States has sancti

WASHINGTON, Sept 29 – The United States has sanctioned 10 individuals and entities, including some based in China, Hong Kong and Pakistan,saying they helped Iran procure weapons and components, the US Treasury Department said Tuesday.

The sanctions are part of the Trump administration’s effort to isolate Iran economically and force it to negotiate an end to the US-Iran war that began in February.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said: “Treasury will not tolerate any support to the regime and will continue to identify, expose, and isolate Iran’s enablers.”

Treasury said the sanctions were aimed at degrading Tehran’s ability to reconstitute its weapons programs, while increasing the costs for those who supported its procurement efforts.

Those targeted in Tuesday’s sanctions announcement include:

Seyyed Asghar Alizadeh Tabatabai, a Beijing-based representative of Iran‘s Ministry of Defense and Armed Forces Logistics agency, who Treasury said had coordinated the procurement of finished weapons systems and dual-use components in China on Iran’s behalf.

Iran-based Kavoshcom Asia R and D Group, which Treasury said had procured electronics including connectors for Iran Aircraft Manufacturing Industrial Company.

Hong Kong-based EC Mojo Technology Co Limited, which Treasury said had provided electronic components in support of Kavoshcom’s procurement efforts, and EC Mojo’s China-based representative Li Fen.

Pakistan-based Waseem Pasha Tajammal, who serves as chairman of Cavalier Group, a privately owned defense company with locations in Pakistan and internationally.

Brett Erickson, managing principal with Obsidian Risk Advisors, said the latest sanctions action would do little to impede Iran‘s ability to launch missiles and drones in the Strait of Hormuz.

“This is optics management for the Trump administration to claim ‘We’re hammering them,’ when the reality is we’re poking them with a toothpick,” he said.

By John Davison and Emily Giles
LONDON, Sept 29 (Reuters) – Iran’s leaders may radiate bullishness in their war with the United States, but life is becoming ever tougher for ordinary citizens unable to afford basic necessities or rent as a US blockade cuts the state’s financial lifeline – oil exports.

From an engineer forced out of Tehran by high rent to a woman forced to stop smoking because of the price of cigarettes and carers struggling to buy medicines, all areas of daily life are affected.

“I’m forced to sell my items with a very small and negligible profit, yet I can’t close my business because then I’d be unemployed,” said Behnam Riazi, a restaurant owner interviewed on camera in Tehran.

Riazi cannot raise his prices because his customers cannot pay more – any most anyway buy only necessities now.

How far economic strains may push Iran towards diplomatic compromise is unclear, as it tightens its own stranglehold on Persian Gulf energy exports through the Strait of Hormuz, driving up oil and gas prices in the US and around the world.
