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 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.

Israel's Chief of Staff: War Against Iran Is Not Over
Israel's Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir said Tuesday that the military operation against Iran is not over. He instructed the army to be prepared for 'a continued wide-scale and comprehensive campaign.' During a rare 'multi-front situational assessment' at the Glilot intelligence base - the first of its kind in nearly two years- Zamir said 'Iran and its axis remain in our sights. The campaign against Iran is not over.' He noted that 2026 would be a year focused on preparedness, restoring capabilities, and seizing operational opportunities. On Tuesday, Zamir and top generals reviewed the operational, intelligence, and strategic picture across all fronts. 'The Israeli Army must operate offensively across multiple arenas alongside vital defense in each sector and along our borders,' he said. 'We will continue preserving air superiority and advancing the intelligence effort.' On Gaza, he described the war there as 'one of the most complex' the army has ever faced. 'We have achieved very significant accomplishments, and the Southern Command continues to lead with standing army and reserve brigades in offense and defense. We are paying a heavy price in the fighting,' he said. Zamir also underscored the need for continued operations in the West Bank, against Hezbollah in Lebanon, and against Iranian targets in Syria. Meanwhile, former Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz said if the Iranian regime does not abandon its nuclear program, then Israel may have to strike again. According to him, the Iranian government poses a serious threat not only to Israel but also to broader regional stability. Gantz said Israel cannot allow Iran to possess nuclear weapons. 'We made the right decision with our previous strikes,' he said. The former minister noted that the best solution to guarantee that Iran does not possess a nuclear weapon would be peaceful pressure to compel Tehran to abandon its nuclear activities, but this method does not seem to be working in practice. Therefore, military measures may return to the agenda, he said.

Tehran to Continue Nuclear Enrichment as Trump Threatens US Could Again Strike Iran's Nuclear Sites
Iran has no plans to abandon its nuclear program, including uranium enrichment, despite 'severe' damage to its facilities after US strikes last month, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Monday. 'For now, enrichment is stopped because, yes, damages are serious and severe,' Araghchi said in an interview with Fox News' Bret Baier. 'But obviously we cannot give up enrichment because it is an achievement of our own scientists,' he added, calling it a source of 'national pride.' The FM stressed that any future nuclear deal would have to contain the right to enrichment. When asked whether any enriched uranium had been saved from the strikes, Araghchi said he had 'no detailed information,' but that Iran's Atomic Energy Organization is 'trying to evaluate what has exactly happened to our nuclear material, to our enriched material.' He also said Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was in 'good health' and that Tehran was open to talks with Washington but that those will not be direct 'for the time being.' In response to Araghchi's comments, US President Donald Trump has warned that the United States could strike Iran's nuclear sites again 'if necessary.' Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform Monday, 'Iran's Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi, on the Iran Nuclear Sites: 'Damages are very severe, they are destroyed.' Of course they are, just like I said.' Meanwhile, Araghchi said Iran remains open to indirect talks with the Trump administration following the strikes on Natanz, Isfahan and Fordow, but cautioned that Iran will not give up nuclear enrichment in any potential deal. Prior to the war, Tehran and Washington held five rounds of nuclear talks mediated by Oman but could not agree on the extent to which Iran should be allowed to enrich uranium. Israel and Washington say Iran was close to enriching to levels that would allow it to quickly produce a nuclear weapon, while Tehran says its enrichment program is for civilian purposes only. Araghchi also confirmed that his country would continue to develop and manufacture missiles. Despite multiple barrages of missiles launched at Israel and waves of Israeli attacks on its bases and launchers, the FM said: 'We still have a good number of missiles to defend ourselves.' He also denied that Iran wants to wipe Israel 'off the map.' Moreover, Araghchi asserted that Tehran would continue to support Palestinian and other armed groups. 'We believe that these groups – Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis – are fighting for a just cause.' Criticism The Iranian Revolutionary Guards-affiliated Fars News Agency criticized Araghchi's interview. The news agency said on Tuesday Araghchi's acknowledgment that the US strikes caused 'serious damage' to nuclear facilities and led to a halt in enrichment signaled weakness. Fars called the remarks exaggerated and warned that such statements could be viewed as a sign of excessive flexibility. It also said Araghchi should not have dismissed clerical fatwas issued in Iran calling for the killing of Trump. 'Araghchi should not have referred the fatwas to radical groups,' it wrote. Meanwhile, US Ambassador to NATO Matthew Whitaker told Fox News on Tuesday that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. 'I don't believe a single word that the Iranian foreign minister says,' Whitaker said. He continued: 'He's not a credible voice for peace. I think it is time for Iran to come to the table and negotiate with the United States of America on a path towards peace and prosperity for the Iranian people.'

Riyadh, Damascus Build Economic Bridge with Private Sector Boost
Saudi Arabia has begun issuing fast‑track travel permits for Saudi and Syrian businesspeople, a move officials say is designed to jump‑start private‑sector investment and help rebuild Syria's war‑scarred economy. The Saudi embassy in Damascus said on Tuesday that an online portal is now live for entrepreneurs and investors from both countries to obtain entry licenses, enabling reciprocal visits and on‑the‑ground due diligence. The step follows months of high‑level Saudi diplomacy that culminated in US president Donald Trump announcing the lifting of US sanctions on Syria during a visit to Riyadh earlier this year. According to Saudi officials, Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Saudi Crown Prince and Prime Minister, pressed the case for easing restrictions. 'Riyadh's practical measures to support Syria are speeding up,' Fadl al‑Buainain, a member of Saudi Arabia's Shura Council, told Asharq al‑Awsat. 'Opening the door for business travel lets investors scout opportunities, restore long‑severed ties and push economic activity on solid, development‑focused foundations backed by the state.' Al‑Buainain said Damascus' pledge to pursue free‑market reforms, including privatizing state firms, would create openings for Saudi companies, particularly in energy, water, tourism and airport projects. Economist Ahmed al‑Jubeir said the permits 'signal Saudi facilitation for investors eager to enter the Syrian market' and could boost bilateral trade and deliver 'new, high‑quality projects.' Saudi officials frame the initiative as part of a broader strategy that weds political outreach to economic leverage. A Saudi foreign‑minister‑led delegation visited Damascus earlier this year, followed by a private mission of Saudi financiers. 'Economic recovery is the launch‑pad for comprehensive development,' al‑Buainain said, arguing that growth would shore up national unity and regional security. He urged Damascus to keep overhauling investment rules to give the private sector 'legal safety and clarity'. The embassy announcement comes days after Syrian President Ahmed al‑Sharaa received a Saudi business delegation led by Mohammed Abunayyan and Sulaiman al‑Muhaidib at the presidential palace in Damascus, where the two sides explored joint ventures across multiple sectors. Analysts say Riyadh views economic engagement as a key plank of its Vision 2030 agenda to stabilize the Middle East through development. With Gulf interest in Syria rising, al‑Jubeir said opening travel channels was 'not just procedural— it's an economic pivot that underlines how Vision 2030 links regional stability to inclusive, sustainable growth.'
