DAKAR, June 12 (Reuters) – The United States has deported an Iranian pro-democracy activist to Central African Republic, her lawyer said on Friday, describing it as a “super dangerous” transfer to a country with which the activist has no connection.

The Iranian American Legal Defense Fund (IALDF) said on Thursday that three Iranian women who fled persecution were at risk of deportation, including one who had converted to Christianity.

In the end, only the activist was on the flight which took off from Louisiana on Thursday night, said her lawyer, Emily Trostle, while not ruling out that the others could potentially be deported later.

The plane landed in Bangui, the capital of Central African Republic, shortly before 10 p.m. local time (2100 GMT), after a stop in Ghana’s capital Accra, according to the ICE Flight Monitor managed by Human Rights First.

It was not immediately clear where the deportees would be housed or how long they would be able to stay in Central African Republic.

“They have absolutely no connection to this place. In all of my filings I submitted tons of information about how this was super dangerous,” Trostle told Reuters.

“These individuals are being removed from the United States and abandoned in a country where they have no status, no connection and no support network. We fear they will ultimately be forced to return to the countries they originally fled,” Trostle said.

The U.S. State Department and Central African Republic’s presidency did not immediately respond to requests for comment about the deportations to Central African Republic. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security said last week that all deportees would receive full due process.

Ghana and Central African Republic have signed deals with President Donald Trump’s administration to take in third-country deportees who in many cases secured legal protections from U.S. courts so that they could not be repatriated.

The United States has used the deals — including with Central African Republic’s neighbour Democratic Republic of Congo, which is facing an Ebola outbreak — to deport people it cannot legally send home.

DUBAI/LONDON, June 12 (Reuters) – The United Arab Emirates has agreed to unlock billions of dollars for Iran, four sources said, in a tactical shift after weeks of Iranian attacks on the wealthy [Persian] Gulf Arab state during the U.S.-Israeli war with the Islamic Republic.

Word of the move, which has not been previously reported, coincides with the final stages of broader negotiations between Tehran and Washington on ending the war, talks that diplomats say could involve the release of tens of billions of dollars in Iranian oil revenues frozen in foreign banks under U.S. sanctions.

Two regional sources told Reuters the UAE had agreed to release a total of $10 billion, more than $3 billion of which had already been delivered.

Two other sources with knowledge of the arrangement put the total funds involved at $20 billion, adding that the move had been agreed in return for a halt to Iranian attacks on the UAE.

DUBAI/WASHINGTON, June 13 (Reuters) – The United States and Iran signaled on Friday that an agreement to end their war was close, with a senior U.S. administration official saying both sides had agreed on a text and that Washington expects to sign an initial deal in the coming days.

U.S. forces shot down multiple Iranian one-way attack drones heading toward the Strait of Hormuz, a source familiar with the matter told Reuters. The source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the drones had posed a threat to commercial traffic. U.S. Central Command later confirmed the action and said the waterway was open for transit.

Iranian news agencies had reported that explosions were heard along the strait in Iran‘s Sirik port and Qeshm island, which residents and local officials attributed to shots fired by Iranian forces to warn vessels attempting to cross the waterway without permission from the Revolutionary Guards’ navy.

By Kayhan Life Staff June 12 - Political rivalries

By Kayhan Life Staff
June 12 - Political rivalries among the leaders of the Islamic Republic of Iran — those who were not targeted by Israel during the 40-day war, or who survived the military strikes — have significantly intensified in recent days.

The disagreements have reportedly become so deep and consequential that a message attributed to Mojtaba Khamenei, the Islamic Republic’s third supreme leader, has been circulated warning that any action that undermines public trust amounts to aiding the enemy.

On May 28, marking the anniversary of the Majlis’s (Iranian parliament) first session, a message published under Mojtaba Khamenei’s name emphasized the need to “avoid discord and strengthen unity.”

It stated that representatives should “make even greater efforts to preserve the unity of the nation’s cohesive and interconnected ranks and not allow justified or unjustified differences to develop into conflict and division, while serving in both word and deed as symbols of national solidarity and unity.”

BOSTON, June 11 (Reuters) – A U.S. judge on Thursday allowed an Iranian-born engineer to be released on bail just days before his trial on charges that he conspired to illegally export technology to Iran that had potential application in military drones.

U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani in Boston had previously declined to release Mahdi Sadeghi, a dual U.S.-Iranian citizen, from custody, citing the risk he might flee to avoid trial.

But Talwani on Thursday said the situation had changed since Sadeghi, a former Analog Devices employee, was arrested in December 2024, pointing to the war in Iran, which began in February when the U.S. and Israel launched strikes.

She said the conflict made the prospect of Sadeghi and his family returning to Iran “less attractive” and that it would be difficult for him to do so.

“It is just a different political world,” she said.
