NEW YORK, Nov 10 (Reuters) – A member of an Iran-b

NEW YORK, Nov 10 (Reuters) – A member of an Iran-backed militia plotted to attack the RAF Fairford air base in Britain while detained in the US on criminal charges, the US Justice Department said on Tuesday.

Iraqi national Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood Al-Saadi attempted to pass coded messages to two other alleged Iran-backed operatives through phone calls to immediate family members from jail in New York, US prosecutors said.

Al-Saadi had previously pleaded not guilty to eight criminal counts including conspiracy to provide material support to Kata’ib Hezbollah, an Iran-backed militia the US considers a terrorist organization.

A lawyer for Al-Saadi declined to comment.

In a court filing on October 14, Al-Saadi’s lawyers said the prosecution’s assertion that he was using coded language during phone calls with family was speculative and based on questionable translations from Arabic.

They said there were banal explanations for conversations the prosecution flagged as concerning.
British Prime Minister Andy Burnham said in October that a suspected plot targeting the base, which had been used by US bombers to carry out strikes on Iran, was “highly likely” to have been coordinated in Iran.
Iran has denied any role in the suspected plot.

WASHINGTON, Nov 10 (Reuters) – US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has recently moved from his Washington, DC residence to a US military base after Iranian threats against his life, two people familiar with the matter said on Tuesday.

The New York Times first reported the move. A senior intelligence official in the Trump administration warned in a memo seen by Reuters late last month that Iranian plots against US personnel and American citizens had reached an advanced stage.

Bessent has led the US sanctions and economic pressure campaign against Iran, dubbed Operation Economic Outcast, since August to try to push Tehran to end attacks on shipping and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. The crucial waterway has been largely closed since the US and Israel attacked Iran on February 28.

The economic pressure campaign, which coincides with a US naval blockade of Iranian ports, has included sanctions on Middle Eastern bank branches and other financial services firms facilitating transactions with Iran.

DUBAI, Nov 11 (Reuters) – Tehran has designated Ar

DUBAI, Nov 11 (Reuters) – Tehran has designated Argentina’s navy and air force as “terrorist organizations,” Iran‘s Foreign Ministry said on Wednesday, in a reciprocal move following Buenos Aires’ designation of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards as a terrorist entity in April.

Argentina had designated Iran‘s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organization, following a push from US President Donald Trump’s administration for allies to do so.

Iran‘s Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Wednesday that Tehran considers the Argentinian air force and navy terrorist organizations “based on the principle of reciprocity”.

“It is evident that the responsibility for all consequences arising from this matter will lie with the Argentine government,” the ministry added, without elaborating. It made no mention of Argentina’s army.

Argentina said in April that the measure it took against Iran‘s IRGC was due to its backing for Lebanon-based Hezbollah, which Buenos Aires blames for the deadliest bombing in the South American nation’s history, a 1994 attack on the AMIA Jewish community centre in the Argentinian capital that killed 85 and injured hundreds.

The IRGC is an elite military force that protects Shi’ite Muslim clerical rule in Iran and controls large parts of Iran‘s economy.

PARIS, Nov 10 (Reuters) – Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Tuesday that he told G7 allies the US economic sanctions and naval blockade are working so well that President Donald Trump does not need to conduct major combat operations against Iran.

Speaking to reporters in Paris after two days of meetings with G7 allies, Rubio repeatedly pushed back on the assertion that not returning to military action would amount to a stalemate or status quo.

“The economic pain that is being inflicted on Iran right now is extraordinary, and it compounds. It’s growing every day,” Rubio said. He added that Trump has also received input from regional allies in the Middle East confirming this assessment.

On Monday, Trump said he plans to hold off on military strikes against Iran after appeals from countries in the region, including from Qatar’s prime minister in White House talks.

“We don’t need to conduct military strikes if we’re achieving the same objective through economic means and economic pressure. That’s not stalemate,” Rubio said. “Never has Iran ever faced the inability to sell energy in the global market like they are today.”

PARIS, Nov 10 (Reuters) – France summoned Iran‘s ambassador on Tuesday after accusing Tehran of a cyberattack that disabled refrigerators in hundreds of supermarkets, with Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot warning Paris could respond with cyber measures of its own.

French officials said on Monday that Iran‘s Revolutionary Guards were behind the attacks, which disrupted commercial refrigeration systems across France in October.

“The summoning of the Iranian ambassador, announced by the minister yesterday, took place this morning,” the foreign ministry said in a statement.

Iran‘s foreign ministry rejected as “baseless and hostile” accusations that its Revolutionary Guards were behind the attacks.

Barrot, speaking on France Info television, said France would push for EU sanctions in response to what he called an “attack of unprecedented scale and aggression in our country”.

He said there could be further action that would not be disclosed.

“We will take whatever measures are necessary, including some that we will not discuss publicly, if we judge them proportionate and necessary to deter any new attacks and punish those responsible for this unacceptable aggression,” Barrot said.

He said France’s cyberdefence doctrine provided authorities with a range of options.

The supermarket hacks, which struck hundreds of stores in early October, were among the most disruptive cyberattacks since the Iran war began in February, a conflict marked by sporadic episodes of suspected digital sabotage.

Other incidents have included hacks targeting the Los Angeles transit system in March and US water treatment plants in July.

PARIS, Nov 10 (Reuters) – US Secretary of State Marco Rubio told G7 foreign ministers on Tuesday that the US would keep imposing “devastating” economic costs on Iran, saying it had options beyond war or agreeing to unacceptable Iranian demands, four G7 diplomats said.

Rubio’s comments came during a meeting in Paris of foreign ministers from the Group of Seven, which comprises Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and the United States, as well as the European Union.

The diplomats said Rubio had used strong language to describe the Iranian authorities. Two said he had referred to them as “lunatics”.

The diplomats quoted Rubio as saying that, rather than resuming the war or accepting Iran‘s demands, Washington’s current policy of tough economic sanctions is working and is limiting Tehran’s ability to fund its regional activities and proxies.

“Rubio said that they will continue with… (imposing) devastating economic operating costs on Iran,” said one of the diplomats, who all spoke on condition of anonymity.

DINDIGUL, India/DUBAI/BASRA, Nov 10 (Reuters) – V. Pandiselvi, the mother of Indian sailor Naveen Kumar, has not heard from her son for more than six months yet she still clings to hope he will return, crying as she replays old voice notes.

Kumar was one of six crew members assigned to work on two Iran-linked cargo vessels last seen in Iranian waters in May before disappearing. The vessels’ fate is still unclear.

Commercial ships have come under fire since the US-Israeli war on Iran began on February 28. Tehran attacked ships to assert control over the Strait of Hormuz and the US in turn struck Iran-linked ships to impose a blockade on Iranian ports.

The UN’s International Maritime Organization has confirmed 130 “incidents” – mainly attacks – in the region since the conflict began, with at least 25 seafarers killed.

“We cannot bear this pain,” Pandiselvi, 45, told Reuters from her one-bedroom house in the city of Dindigul in southern India’s Tamil Nadu state, struggling to keep her composure.

“You don’t need anyone to tell you what a parent would go through if they were to lose their child. We appeal to everyone involved to please come forward and help us.”

Reuters spoke to shipping sources, Iraqi officials and the families of missing sailors in Iraq’s Basra and India’s Tamil Nadu state to reveal the human cost of Hormuz attacks.

The 23-year-old Kumar’s family took on considerable debt for him to complete a marine course and pursue his dream of working as a sailor, after which he left for a six-month crew contract he was told was based in Dubai. A week in, he found himself in Iran, to the consternation of his family.

Nov 10 (Reuters) – Canada reimposed sanctions on 11 Iranian entities on Tuesday for their contribution to Iran‘s nuclear activities and ballistic missile program, Foreign Minister Anita Anand said.

Anand announced the measures at a meeting of Group of Seven foreign ministers in Paris, saying they were intended to restrict Iran‘s access to funding and sensitive technology linked to its nuclear and missile programs.

“Canada’s position is unequivocal: Iran must never be allowed to obtain a nuclear weapon,” a foreign ministry statement quoted Anand as saying.

The measures were imposed on 11 entities that contributed to “the Iranian regime’s proliferation-sensitive nuclear activities and ballistic missile program or to the financing of its malign activities,” the statement said.

Canada de-listed the entities in 2016 after a 2015 nuclear deal between Iran and world powers. But Ottawa said Tehran had repeatedly failed to cooperate with the International Atomic Energy Agency, the UN nuclear watchdog, over its nuclear activities and had not complied with the provisions of earlier UN Security Council resolutions.

The United States, its European allies and Israel accuse Tehran of using its nuclear program to conceal efforts to try to develop the capability to produce weapons. Iran says its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes only.
