FRANKFURT, Oct 15 (Reuters) – A German court on Th FRANKFURT, Oct 15 (Reuters) – A German court on Thursday handed two men prison sentences of up to 8-1/2 years for planning to kill the leader of a Jewish organisation in Germany, saying one man had been steered by Iran‘s intelligence service. One man, previously identified as Danish national Ali S., was sentenced to eight years and six months for preparing an assassination and aggravated arson, judges ruled. “The court is convinced that the defendant, S., was recruited by the Iranian secret service and integrated into it to carry out state-sponsored terrorist activities in Germany under Iran’s direction,” the court in the northern city of Hamburg said in a statement. The Iranian Embassy in Germany did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Another man, previously named as Afghan national Tawab M., was sentenced to four years and six months for his role in the plot. The verdicts, which can be appealed, come as a war with Iran launched by the United States and Israel in February has spilled over into an escalating conflict between Saudi Arabia and Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthis. German federal prosecutors brought criminal charges against the two men in May. The court said that in early 2025, S. was tasked with gathering information on the President of the Central Council of Jews in Germany, Josef Schuster, and the Chairman of the German-Israeli Society, Volker Beck. He was also instructed to spy on two Jewish grocers in Berlin, they added. (Writing by Ludwig Burger; Editing by Alexandra Hudson)
By Kayhan Life Staff Oct. 15 - The Islamic Republi By Kayhan Life Staff Oct. 15 - The Islamic Republic of Iran’s judiciary executed Ali-Sina Mostafavi, an artist and athlete, at Kerman Prison in southeastern Iran. Mizan, the news agency affiliated with the Iranian judiciary, reported that the execution was carried out at dawn on Oct. 14. Authorities claimed that Mostafavi was linked to the “monarchist movement” and had sent videos and photos to foreign media outlets during the December and January protests. Mostafavi was a professional mountaineer who had climbed Mount Everest and several other well-known Himalayan peaks. He was also a musician. On Oct. 13, human rights activists reported that Mostafavi had been placed in solitary confinement at Shahab Kerman Prison, also known as Kerman Central Prison, in southeastern Iran. They also reported that his family had been summoned for a final visit. That same day, the office of Prince Reza Pahlavi posted about Mostafavi on X: “Ali-Sina Mostafavi has climbed Mount Everest and then taken to the streets to fight for his country’s freedom. Now he is at imminent risk of execution after being placed in solitary confinement. His family has been summoned for their final visit.” The post continued: “This young athlete was sentenced to death in a sham court of the Islamic Republic following forced confessions obtained under torture. Be the voice of political prisoners at risk of execution and use all available capacities to save their lives.” The judiciary charged Mostafavi with “Moharebeh (waging war against God) with intent to create terror and fear, attempted murder, intentional bodily harm by shooting, displaying force with a firearm, manufacturing and possessing explosives, drawing a weapon with intent to kill and frightening people, and contact with hostile media affiliated with the Zionist regime.” #stopexecutionsiniran⛔️❌ #kayhanlife
Oct 15 (Reuters) – The US military has developed s Oct 15 (Reuters) – The US military has developed strike plans that could include using the GBU-43/B Massive Ordnance Air Blast Bomb, also known as the “mother of all bombs”, against Iranian energy infrastructure and nuclear sites if President Donald Trump orders renewed combat operations, CNN reported on Thursday citing US officials familiar with the matter. The potential deployment of the largest non-nuclear bomb in the US arsenal would mark a significant escalation in the conflict, although officials familiar with military planning discussions told CNN questions remain over its effectiveness in achieving Washington’s strategic objectives. Reuters could not immediately verify the report. (Reporting by Disha Mishra in Bengaluru; Editing by Tom Hogue)
As the U.S.’s “Operation Economic Outcast” continu As the U.S.’s “Operation Economic Outcast” continued, tanker attacks in the Strait of Hormuz hit a wartime weekly high, and suspected IRGC-linked threats extended to U.S. bases in Britain and Germany. Washington demanded cuts to uranium enrichment, while the Islamic Republic refused to abandon enrichment or surrender its uranium. Still, President Donald Trump hoped talks would lead to a negotiated settlement. Inflation in Iranian households continued to near 90%; a record-low rial and looming gas shortages deepened the hardship. The oil minister was allegedly forced to resign, as questions over unpaid revenues arose, and Hezbollah reportedly received $200 million from the regime. Executions continued unabated, with authorities executing three more men detained during January’s protests. Reuters reported on a coordinated campaign against protesters, exiles, and their families. In Milan, Elaheh Tavakolian, who lost an eye during protests, reiterated that she is demanding freedom so her daughter would not inherit a life of repression. She said she had no regrets.
