Judge is stabbed to death in southern Iran
A report by the official IRNA news agency called the killing a 'terrorist act," adding that two unidentified assailants are still at large. It identified the judge as Ehsum Bagheri, 38, who worked for the city's judicial department.
Bagheri in the past worked as a prosecutor in the revolutionary court, which court deals with security and drug smuggling cases.
No group immediately claimed responsibility for the attack
Iran has witnessed other killings of judges in the past.
In January, a man fatally shot two prominent hard-line judges in Iran's capital Tehran, both of whom allegedly took part in the mass execution of dissidents in 1980s.

Apple alerted Iranians to iPhone spyware attacks, say researchers
Apple notified more than a dozen Iranians in recent months that their iPhones had been targeted with government spyware, according to security researchers. Miian Group, a digital rights organization that focuses on Iran, and Hamid Kashfi, an Iranian cybersecurity researcher who lives in Sweden, said they spoke with several Iranians who received the notifications in the last year. Bloomberg first wrote about these spyware notifications. Miaan Group published a report on Tuesday on the state of cybersecurity of civil society in Iran, which mentioned that the organization's researchers have identified three cases of government spyware attacks against Iranians, two in Iran and one in Europe, who were alerted in April of this year. 'Two people in Iran come from a family with a long history of political activism against the Islamic Republic. Many members of their family have been executed, and they have no history of traveling abroad,' Amir Rashidi, Miaan Group's director of digital rights and security, told TechCrunch. 'I believe there have been three waves of attacks, and we have only seen the tip of the iceberg.' Rashidi said that Iran is likely the government behind the attacks, although there needs to be more investigations into these attacks to reach a more conclusive determination. 'I see no reason for members of civil society to be targeted by anyone other than Iran,' he said. Kashfi, who founded the security firm DarkCell, said in an email that he helped two victims go through preliminary forensics steps, but he wasn't able to confirm which spyware maker was behind the attacks. And, he added, some of the victims he worked with preferred not to continue the investigation. Contact Us Have you received a threat notification from Apple? We'd love to hear from you.

'Pretty much all victims spooked out and ghosted us as soon as we explained the seriousness of the case to them. I presume partly because of their place of work and sensitivity of the matters related to that,' said Kashfi, who added that one of the victims received the notification in 2024 It's unclear which spyware maker is behind these attacks. Over the last few years, Apple has sent several rounds of notifications to people whom the company believes have been targeted with government spyware, such as NSO Group's Pegasus, or Paragon's Graphite. This kind of malware is also known as 'mercenary' or 'commercial' spyware. The notifications have helped security researchers who focus on spyware to document abuses in several countries such as India, El Salvador, and Thailand. On Apple's support page for what the company calls 'threat notifications,' last updated in April, the tech giant said that since 2021 it has notified users in 'in over 150 countries,' which shows how widespread the use of government spyware is. Apple does not disclose the names of the countries, nor the total number of people it has notified. To help victims, since last year, Apple has recommended those who received these threat notifications to reach out to digital rights group AccessNow, which runs an around-the-clock helpline staffed with researchers who can investigate spyware attacks. AccessNow has documented cases of spyware abuse all over the world. Apple did not respond to a request for comment on the notifications sent to Iranians.

Syrian-American executed during violence in Sweida, relatives say
BEIRUT — A 35-year old Syrian-American man was among hundreds of people killed during sectarian violence in southern Syria last week — executed by gunmen after being seized, along with other relatives, from his family home in the city of Sweida, relatives and U.S. lawmakers said. The slain man, Hosam Saraya, a member of the Druze religious minority, had been living in Oklahoma but returned to Syria last year, relatives said. Hala Saraya, a cousin, identified Hosam as one of several men seen in videos that circulated on the internet, showing gunmen, some wearing fatigues, spraying gunfire at Hosam and his relatives as they were forced to kneel in a square in the city on July 16. Eight members of the family were killed, the relatives said. State Department spokeswoman Tammy Bruce confirmed Saraya's death during a briefing Tuesday and identified him as a U.S. citizen. In a post on X on Monday, Sen. James Lankford (R-Oklahoma), said Saraya was 'tragically executed alongside other members of his family in Syria.' The violence in Sweida, a Druze-majority city, was some of the most brutal in Syria since December, when rebel forces toppled Bashar al-Assad, the country's longtime dictator. It began on July 12, with fighting between local Druze and Sunni Muslim Bedouin factions, and drew in government fighters, Sunni tribesmen and Israel, which carried out airstrikes against Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa's government, targeting both state buildings and military units. Human rights groups said hundreds of people were killed during days of fighting, during clashes and at the hands of fighters who carried out summary killings. Government forces were seen in cellphone videos of the chaos, abusing or humiliating Druze men, in scenes that underscored fears among Syria's minority communities about the rule of the country's new Islamist government, and the fighters who served under it, including hard-line Islamist militants. In Sweida, the nature of the Syrian government's intervention, as well as the Israeli airstrikes, 'exacerbated,' the fighting, Human Rights Watch said in a briefing released Tuesday. The group warned of the risk of sectarian retaliation and the catastrophic humanitarian conditions that persist in the city, despite a ceasefire. The clashes 'caused widespread disruptions to electricity, water, and health care, and ignited sectarian hate speech and the risk of reprisals against Druze communities across the country,' the group said. Saraya's relatives said the men who seized Hosam and seven of his family members identified themselves as government forces. The Washington Post could not immediately identify the gunmen seen in videos of the events that day, including one in which Hosam and his relatives are marched down a street with their arms raised, and another in which they are killed. In response to questions about the killings, Noureddine Baba, a spokesman for Syria's interior ministry, did not speak specifically about Saraya's murder but said 'we reject any violation or any killing that is committed against any innocent civilian.' Any 'unit of the Syrian government involved in this must be held legally accountable,' he added. In a statement later Tuesday, the ministry said it 'condemns in the strongest terms the circulating videos showing field executions carried out by unidentified individuals in the city of Sweida.' An 'urgent investigation' had been launched to identify and arrest the perpetrators, it added. Saraya, who studied finance and accounting at Damascus University, moved to the United States about a decade ago to pursue graduate studies, earning an MBA at Oklahoma Christian University, said a relative who spoke on the condition of anonymity for safety reasons. Saraya, who worked as an operations manager at a senior home care company for a few years, lived alone, liked to make tabbouleh and spent a lot of time in the gym. 'He was very funny, he was very outgoing. He was a positive, positive person,' the relative said, adding that Saraya returned to Syria about a year and a half ago, to care for his father, who was ill, and to start an online school in Sweida. The relative, relaying a chronology passed along from other family members in Sweida, said the gunmen showed up to the Saraya family house around 6 a.m., taking the men away, including Hosam, his younger brother Kareem, their father and other relatives. The gunmen returned sometime later, threatening the women in the house, who pleaded for the lives of Hosam and the other men. It was not clear whether they had already been killed. The gunmen threatened violence, and stole jewelry, the relative said. Later, another group of gunmen menaced the house, also identifying themselves as state security forces. What 'barbarians or monsters can do that,' the relative said. 'We do not trust the government at all to protect us.' As Sweida counted its dead this week, Syria was still reckoning with the legacy of a previous massacre, in March, of hundreds of people in the country's coastal region, a heartland of Syria's Alawite minority. A committee named to investigate the killings presented its highly anticipated findings Tuesday at a news conference in Damascus, saying the massacre began after Assad loyalists ambushed and killed 238 government forces, triggering a massive government response, of some 200,000 forces loyal to Sharaa, some of whom carried out killings and other crimes. The report found that 1,426 people were killed, mostly civilians. While the committee found that violations by pro-government forces were not the result of orders given by the country's leadership, it also found that 'the state's actual control during the period covered by the report was partial and sometimes nonexistent,' said Yasser al-Farhan, a spokesman for the committee, adding that the government was still rebuilding security and military installations after Assad's fall. The committee identified 298 people linked to pro-government factions it said perpetrated the violations. They were not named Tuesday but Jumaa al-Anzi, the committee chair, said the perpetrators would be referred to the public prosecutor. The report was given to Sharaa, but not released publicly. John Hudson in Washington contributed to this report.

Syrian Inquiry Says Military Leaders Did Not Order Sectarian Killings in March
A Syrian commission of inquiry released its findings on Tuesday in the killings of more than 1,400 people in sectarian violence earlier this year, concluding that the bloodshed was 'not organized' and that the country's military leaders did not directly order the attacks. But some human rights experts called the fact-finding committee's failure to hold commanders accountable deeply problematic. The findings of the committee — established by President Ahmed al-Shara — were released more than four months after the March killings — and just days after a new eruption of sectarian violence in another part of Syria claimed more than 1,100 lives. Repeated waves of violence involving minority groups have raised serious questions about whether the former Islamist rebels who now lead the country can secure and stabilize all of Syria and protect its diverse ethnic and religious groups. Syria's new leadership has sought to reassure minorities that they are safe. But periodic eruptions of unrest have undermined those assurances and deepened mistrust of the central government in Damascus. The inquiry concluded that more than 1,426 people were killed over a few days in March in two coastal provinces, most of them civilians. That toll broadly aligned with those tallied by independent monitoring groups. An investigation by The New York Times found evidence that government soldiers had participated in at least some of the killings in Latakia and Tartus provinces in March. Syrian rights groups said armed groups nominally affiliated with the government were largely behind the killings of Alawites, the minority which the ousted dictator Bashar al-Assad's family belonged to. The committee's findings showed that after Assad loyalists launched the initial assault in early March, about 200,000 armed fighters from all across Syria moved into the coastal region, the committee's spokesman, Yasser Farhan, said at a news conference in the capital Damascus.
