Iran detained 21,000 suspects during war with Israel
Iran's police detained 21,000 suspects during the 12-day air war between Israel and Iran in June, state media reports. A report by state TV quoted a police spokesman, General Saeed Montazeralmahdi, as saying people reported the suspects to the authorities. "The arrest of 21,000 suspects during the 12-day war indicated high awareness and participation of people in providing security," he said on Tuesday. Montazeralmahdi did not elaborate on what charges the suspects might face. However, he said more than 260 were suspected of spying and other 172 were arrested because of illegal filming. He said police put more than 1000 checkpoints across the country during the conflict, between June 13 and 24. This is the first time Iran's police has given a total number of arrests during the war. In recent weeks, Iran occasionally reported about the arrests of suspects on spying charges. Since the end of June, Iran has executed seven men convicted of spying for Israel, sparking fears from activists that the government could conduct a wave of executions. Israel carried out waves of air strikes on Iran, killing almost 1100 people, including many military commanders. Retaliatory Iranian strikes killed 28 people in Israel.

Two-thirds of Britons want Andrew stripped of titles
Some 67 per cent of the public would back the removal of Andrew's York dukedom, according to YouGov.

(AP PHOTO) Credit: AAP Two thirds of Britons believe the Duke of York should be stripped of his remaining royal titles, according to a new poll. Research by YouGov found that 67 per cent of the public would back the removal of Andrew's York dukedom, as well as his princely title. An unflattering biography of the disgraced duke by Andrew Lownie in August delved into the private life of the late Queen's son, depicting him as sex-obsessed, a "useful idiot" and easy prey for Jeffrey Epstein. Some 13 per cent opposed the removal of his titles and 21 per cent were unsure, the survey suggested. Three years ago, 62 per cent believed Andrew should have his York title removed, with the current 67 per cent in-favour figure seeing a jump of five percentage points. Another YouGov survey found that just five per cent have a positive view of the King's brother, with Andrew languishing at the bottom of the royal favourability tables, beneath the Duchess of Sussex who has a 20 per cent positive rating and the Duke of Sussex at 28 per cent. Legislation would be required for Parliament to prevent Andrew continuing as the Duke of York, while his birthright to be a prince, as the son of a monarch, could be changed if a Letters Patent were issued by the King. The duke stopped using his style of his royal highness following his disastrous Newsnight interview, but it could be removed entirely by a Letters Patent. Andrew stepped away from his public role in 2019 amid the furore over his friendship with convicted billionaire paedophile Epstein. He later paid millions to settle a civil sexual assault case with Virginia Giuffre, who was trafficked by Epstein as a teenager and who Andrew claimed never to have met.
