Not some pro-Western outlet. “UK, US and allies accuse Iran of cross-border assassination plots,” Al Jazeera, 7-31-25.
“Tehran did not get the message and is back to business as usual. Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told Fox News’ Bret Baier that Iran would continue to maintain its support for Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis. And before meeting European leaders last week, he said it was important for them “to understand that the Islamic Republic of Iran’s position remains unshakable, and that our uranium enrichment will continue.” Tehran has resumed its taunts against Israel and, with help from China, is rebuilding the Russia-supplied air defense network destroyed by the Israeli air force — all under the protection of the Trump brokered ceasefire following Operation Midnight Hammer.” See “Russia and Iran are on a collision course with Trump,” The Hill, 7-31-25.
A big money maker for Iran is finally addressed. “US says sanctions hit Iran ‘shipping empire’ linked to top Tehran official,” Al Jazeera, 7-31-25. And quote of the day: “The Shamkhani family’s shipping empire highlights how the Iranian regime elites leverage their positions to accrue massive wealth and fund the regime’s dangerous behaviour,” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. “The new sanctions target 15 shipping firms, 52 vessels, 12 individuals and 53 entities involved in sanctions evasion in 17 countries, ranging from Panama to Italy to Hong Kong.”
