UN's Guterres urges against expanding Israel-Iran war internationally
Shafaq News/ On Wednesday, United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres expressed concern about the potential involvement of the United States in Israeli attacks against Iran. His spokesperson, Stephane Dujarric, told reporters during a briefing, 'The Secretary-General's firm stance is to avoid further internationalization of this conflict.' Meanwhile, Reuters reported that the UN Security Council will convene on Friday to discuss the Israel-Iran war, as three European countries prepare for nuclear talks with Iran. The agency noted that the foreign ministers of Germany, France, and the United Kingdom will meet with their Iranian counterpart Abbas Araghchi in Geneva on Friday, with support from the United States. Earlier, US President Donald Trump told reporters that he does not rule out strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, including uranium enrichment centers. CNN, citing two informed sources, reported that the US military is preparing for the possibility of receiving presidential authorization to provide in-flight refueling to Israeli warplanes during potential strikes on Iran. The network added that this preparation is among the key reasons for the recent deployment of more than 30 aerial refueling aircraft to the Middle East. According to the sources, the refueling operation would be part of a broader US military involvement if a decision is made to directly participate in the escalation against Iran.

Iran foils Mossad plots, arrests 10 suspected spies amid escalating conflict
Shafaq News/ Iranian authorities announced a series of arrests on Wednesday involving individuals accused of espionage and sabotage on behalf of Israel's Mossad. In the most recent incident, nine women were apprehended while attempting to cross the border into Iraq through the Qasr-e Shirin region. The commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) in Sarpol-e Zahab said the suspects were caught after being tracked for suspicious movements believed linked to Israeli intelligence. 'The operation was executed following intelligence surveillance of a network connected to Mossad,' he stated. In a separate but closely timed development, Brigadier General Ali Azadi, police chief of Iran's Kurdistan province, confirmed the arrest of a 42-year-old Mossad operative in the northwestern city of Saqqez. Speaking to Tasnim News Agency, Azadi said the suspect had entered the province to gather intelligence and carry out acts of sabotage. Security forces reportedly seized remote detonation devices, explosives, and surveillance equipment from the suspect. The arrests come amid a sharp escalation in the Iran–Israel conflict, now in its sixth day, marked by reciprocal airstrikes and growing internal security crackdowns within Iran. Earlier this week, Iranian police also reported dismantling a separate Israeli-linked spy cell in the Fashafouyeh district of Rey Province, south of Tehran, during two separate raids. Officials claimed the cell was gathering intelligence for Israel and planning sabotage operations.
