The fate of General Vahidi, who disappeared before the February 28 operation that killed Ayatollah Khamenei and many senior Revolutionary Guard officials, including former commander Mohammad Pakpour, had long been a subject of debate.

Oil prices rise 5%, and stocks drop worldwide after Trump says ceasefire with Iran is âoverâ
Oil prices rose, and stock markets dropped in shaky trading worldwide Wednesday after President Donald Trump raised doubts about the temporary truce in the war with Iran.
The S&P 500 fell as much as 1.1% after Trump said the agreement to pause fighting was âover,â but the index then trimmed its loss to 0.3% after Trump said the most recent exchange of fire with the Islamic Republic did not herald a return to full-scale war. Theyâre his latest mixed messages on what will happen with the war, which threatens to worsen inflation for the world.
US launches strikes on Iran and reimposes sanctions in retaliation for attacks on commercial shipping

In Israelâs astonishing new reality, voters expect Netanyahu to try to sabotage elections
(June 30, 2026)
The fear that Israel is actually quite close to such a postponement cuts across much of Israeli society. Iâve heard it expressed by secular liberals, military veterans, former intelligence officials, legal scholars, journalists, centrist politicians, and even some conservatives who once supported Netanyahu enthusiastically. What unites them is the growing belief that Netanyahu now considers remaining in power to be an existential necessity â and that his radical base will back him no matter what outrage he attempts.

Trump says will hold off planned Iran attack after request from Qatari, Saudi and UAE leaders
(3h ago (19:00 GMT)
The US president says he was asked by Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and UAE President Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan âto hold off on our planned Military attackâ on Iran, âwhich was scheduled for tomorrowâ.
Trump said the Gulf leaders had noted âthat serious negotiations are now taking place, and that, in their opinion, as Great Leaders and Allies, a Deal will be made, which will be very acceptable to the United States of America, as well as all Countries in the Middle East, and beyondâ.
âThis Deal will include, importantly, NO NUCLEAR WEAPONS FOR IRAN!â he wrote on his Truth Social platform.
Deutschland zieht nicht, es kriecht in den nÀchsten Angriffskrieg
(June 25, 2019)
Zusammenfassung zur Situation um den drohenden neuen Krieg im achtzehnjÀhrigen Terrorkrieg, diesmal gegen den Iran.
Schon bevor die heute existierende internationale Kriegskoalition von Singapur bis Saudi-Arabien (âInternationale Allianz gegen den Islamischen Staatâ, oder âAnti-I.S.-Allianz) im September 2014 auf dem N.A.T.O.-Gipfel in Wales gegrĂŒndet wurde, warnte Radio Utopie vor einem Terrorkrieg 2.0 und vor ânoch mehr Eroberungen islamischer Staaten, wegen dem âIslamischen Staatââ.
Damals forderte der damalige U.S.-AuĂenminister von Trumps VorgĂ€nger Barack Obama, John Kerry, am 29. August 2014 eine âglobale Koalitionâ gegen den âIslamischen Staatâ.
Gestern nun forderte Trumps AuĂenminister Mike Pompeo eine âglobale Koalitionâ gegen den islamischen Staat Iran, passenderweise vorgetragen bei einem Blitzbesuch Pompeos in Saudi-Arabien.
Als vor dreieinhalb Jahren Pazifisten, Sozialdemokraten und politische Linke in Deutschland der Entsendung der staatlichen Luftwaffe in die Kriege im Irak und Syrien tatenlos zusahen, warnten wir bereits vor deren moralisch-politischem Zusammenbruch und Kapitulation. Die genau zu diesem Zweck exekutierte psychologische KriegfĂŒhrung gegen die Bevölkerung setzt sich bis heute praktisch ohne Widerstand politisch links stehender KrĂ€fte fort. Die Logik des Terrorkrieges (Behauptungen von Behörden / AutoritĂ€ten darf nicht widersprochen und muss alles abgekauft werden) wird von den Betreffenden weiter willig geschluckt.
U.S.-Imperium will âglobale Koalitionâ fĂŒr Terrorkrieg 2.0 und bastelt an âNachrĂŒstungâ der Kriegsvollmacht aus 2001
(September 2, 2014)
Auf dem Gipfel des Nordatlantikpakts in Wales wird es weniger um Russland als um die Frage gehen, mit welcher schwachsinnigen Ausrede nun die N.A.T.O. den am 4. Oktober 2001 ausgerufenen âkollektiven Verteidigungsfallâ aufrechterhalten will.
Eine Option: Noch mehr Eroberungen islamischer Staaten, wegen dem âIslamischen Staatâ.

Jihadists appear caught offguard by release of Steven Sotloff video
(September 2, 2014)
The video of Steven Sotloff‘s apparent murder appears to have been found by a private US intelligence firm before it could be released by the Islamic State.
News of Mr Sotloff‘s death was broken by the SITE Intelligence group, a private company that monitors jihadist activity and has close ties to the American intelligence community.
The group‘s analysts found the video on what a spokesman described as „a file-sharing site“ and send it out to its subscriber list. SITE‘s subscribers include government officials, journalists and academics involved in analysing terrorism.
Leak Severed a Link to Al-Qaeda‘s Secrets
(October 9, 2007)
The al-Qaeda video aired on Sept. 7 attracted international attention as the first new video message from the group‘s leader in three years. In it, a dark-bearded bin Laden urges Americans to convert to Islam and predicts failure for the Bush administration in Iraq and Afghanistan. The video was aired on hundreds of Western news Web sites nearly a full day before its release by a distribution company linked to al-Qaeda.
Computer logs and records reviewed by The Washington Post support SITE‘s claim that it snatched the video from al-Qaeda days beforehand. Katz requested that the precise date and details of the acquisition not be made public, saying such disclosures could reveal sensitive details about the company‘s methods.
Israel Found the Hamas Money Machine Years Ago. Nobody Turned It Off.
(December 16, 2023)
Israeli leaders believed that Hamas was more interested in governing than fighting. By the time the agents discovered the ledgers in 2018, the prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, was encouraging the government of Qatar to deliver millions of dollars to the Gaza Strip. He gambled that the money would buy stability and peace.
Mr. Levy recalled briefing Mr. Netanyahu personally in 2015 about the Hamas portfolio.
âCollateral damageâ: Exiled Lebanese tells ‚Post‘ refugees back Israelâs fight against Hezbollah
(today)
Maryam Younnes was only five years old when she fled her home in Dibil in southern Lebanon, leaving behind her grandmother and cousins, unable to legally see or speak to them again.
Maryamâs father, Elias, was a commander in the South Lebanon Army (SLA). He defended the countryâs sovereignty against the Palestinian Liberation Organization, which used the territory to launch attacks against Israel and brutalize local populations.
âWe were in no manâs land. No one helped us. No one looked after us, just like whatâs going on right now.

The government was briefed on drone incidents in Estonia linked to the counter-offensive of Ukraine
(March 25, 2026)
âThe war has now entered its fifth year, and its effects occasionally spill across borders. Today, not for the first time, also into Estonia. What is important is that Estonia was not the target of the attack,â emphasised Prime Minister Kristen Michal. âThese are large-scale Ukrainian counter-attacks against the aggression of Russia, targeting the ports of Ust-Luga and Primorsk. These are the ports through which Russia exports energy resources, providing Putin with funds to wage war, undermine the independence of European and other countries, conduct war against Ukraine, and kill people. The attacks today occurred in three waves, and some of the drones which were used in the attack reached here.
(…)
Early this morning at 3.43 a.m., a drone struck the chimney of the Auvere power plant. No people were injured. Based on current information, the drone was not directed at Estonia but deviated here from its intended trajectory. Later, at around 8.30 a.m., another aerial object crossed Lake Peipus into Estonia, triggering the hazard alert system.

Netanyahu Finally Got What He Wanted on Iran by Appealing to an Audience of One
JERUSALEMâThe Oct. 7, 2023, attack on Israel was the greatest security failure of Benjamin Netanyahuâs career. Less than three years later, the Israeli prime minister is pursuing what may become his defining strategic achievement: toppling the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Massive Fire Breaks Out at Cuba‘s Largest Oil Refinery as Island Faces Deepening Energy Crisis
(February 13, 2026)
Just a day earlier, two Mexican navy vessels docked at the same harbor carrying more than 800 tons of humanitarian aid, including fuel and essential supplies, underscoring the urgency of Cuba‘s shortfalls.

Six UNSCRs were reimposed on September 27, 2025, after the Islamic Republic regime‘s „continuing ‚significant non-performance‘ of its nuclear commitments,“ the State Department noted.
The DOJ offers only excuses as the Epstein Files remain secret
There is one additional fact related to the Epstein Files release that has largely gone unnoticed. In early December, shortly before the full set of Epstein Files was supposed to be made public, Ghislaine Maxwell filed a motion to vacate her conviction. This is a routine motion often filed by federal prisoners after their direct appeals have been rejected.
A fatal motorcycle accident leaves Israel‘s most serious security corruption case unresolved.
(January 9, 2026)
In this case, media consultant Tzachi Lieber is accused of acting as an intermediary for bribes between Michael Ganor, who was the representative of the German industrial engineering company ThyssenKrupp in Israel, and David Sharan, who was chief of staff to Prime Minister Netanyahu.
(…)
The dilemma facing the system is now complex. On the one hand, allowing a new judge to render a verdict based solely on transcripts and submitted evidence is problematic, as a criminal verdict should be based on the judge‘s direct impression of the witnesses and the accused, and on their credibility.
On the other hand, having the witnesses, or some of them, re-tested by another judge is also problematic and would mean the case would drag on for years. As mentioned, this would also delay Lieber‘s required testimony in the main case against Sharan and Ganor.
