Tasnim News Agency

Same thing with flights to Baghdad, Iraq, but also...

And Tasnim News, the Iranian news agency, reported on Thursday that as of Thursday, there were still flights available to and from Najaf, which is a holy city for Shia Muslims.

Very important.

You know, people make pilgrimages there from Iran all the time.

Let's not go through the same routine again.

Now, what's interesting, though, is Tasnim News, which is the Iranian news outlet, reports that the meter between Arachi and the interaction with Witkow and Kushner did not get authorization or coordination with the relevant Iranian authorities, including the Supreme Leader.

Tasnim says, claims that the interaction had received prior approval from Iran's policymaking bodies are incorrect.

So I don't know whether this is intentional to show that they're, you know, kind of the Trump, Witkoff, Kushner.

Uh, uh, we wanna hear everything they have to say.

We go to PressTV, we go to Tehran Times, we go to Tasnim, we go to IRNA, ISNA, wanna hear what the Iranians have to say.

We go to Arab News, we go to Al Jazeera, wanna hear what the Arabs have to say.

DW, Germans, French, Ger- English.

The convergence of diplomacy and energy disruption matters because Hormuz has become intertwined with the wider dispute, meaning efforts to manage relations between Iran and the United States now carry consequences for global trade and energy security.

Gaza ceasefire faces harder test as post-war arrangements remain unfinished.

Israel has carried out strikes in Gaza after an unmanned military engineering vehicle was hit by an explosive near the Yellow Line, underscoring the fragility of the ceasefire as negotiations over Gaza's future continue.

Iran's military central command said on state media that any new attack would trigger sustained retaliation against U.S. bases and interests, as well as a threat to extend the conflict geographically.

In the event of a new attack, in addition to changing the geography of the battle, new targets will be struck and strategic weapons that have not yet been unveiled or used will be employed, said Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps spokesperson, Brigadier General Hossein Mohebi, as reported by Iranian state media outlet Tasnim News on September 21st.

Mohib said missile strikes are directed solely at U.S. military equipment and bases.

Iranian state media outlet Mehr News reported that Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Khalibaf said on September 20 that there will be no return to previous negotiations or reopening of the Strait of Hormuz until Iran's conditions are met.

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy said it hit a Togo-flagged oil tanker on Friday, alleging the ship had attempted to cross the Strait of Hormuz without Iranian permission.

The IRGC-affiliated Tasnim News Agency reported that the tanker stopped sailing after catching fire.

The British Maritime Security Agency, UKMTO, said it received a report of a tanker being hit by an unknown projectile in the area, causing a fire that was later extinguished.

The Trump administration approved a $24.3 billion sale of F-35 fighter jets to Saudi Arabia on Thursday.

At the same time, the IAEA says it has lost continuity of knowledge over parts of Iran’s enriched uranium inventory, giving renewed diplomacy significance far beyond the immediate energy crisis.

US prepares major heavy bomb package for Israel as weapons policy shifts again.

The Trump administration is preparing a proposed two-point-eight-billion American dollar munitions sale to Israel that includes forty thousand bombs weighing about two thousand pounds each.

Iranian news outlets, including the state's broadcaster, said that at least one American missile had hit the tanker and published images of a ship emitting black plumes of smoke.

Tasnim, a semi-official news outlet affiliated with Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, reported that the attack took place on Saturday morning and that the tanker's crew had survived and were being evacuated.

The reports come as the fate of the Strait of Hormuz, a waterway on Iran's southern coast, has become central to the conflict between Iran and the United States.

The strait previously served as a major shipping route for oil and other key commodities, but Iran has sought to control it since the country was attacked by the United States and Israel earlier this year.

Uh, Iran reportedly sending the captured American Anduril Drive LD to the IRGC Aerospace Force for reverse engineering.

Tehran aims to share this technology with China and Russia, per a Tasnim News columnist.

They captured this advanced US autonomous undersea vehicle intact near the Strait of Hormuz.

The US began procuring this Drive LD system under the Replicator Initiative in twenty twenty-four, with UUV RON One receiving its first unit in twenty twenty-five.
