IDF says Quds Force arms transfer commander killed in western Iran

Jun 21, 2025, 08:06 GMT+1

The commander of Iran’s Quds Force arms transfer unit, Behnam Shahriari, was killed while traveling in western Iran, more than 1,000 kilometers from Israel’s border, the Israel Defense Forces said Saturday in a post on its official X account.

The IDF said Shahriari was responsible for transferring weapons and funds to proxy groups including Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis, and played a central role in supplying rockets used against Israel during the current war.

His death, the IDF said, dealt a major blow to Iran’s regional network and the ability of its allies to rebuild after Israeli military operations.

Iran files complaint against IAEA chief over stance on nuclear program

Jun 21, 2025, 07:07 GMT+1

Iran has filed a formal complaint against Rafael Grossi, head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), accusing him of bias and failure to protect Iran’s peaceful nuclear activities, Iran’s UN envoy said in a letter to the Security Council.

The letter, submitted by Ambassador Amir Saeid Iravani and published by state media on Saturday, said Grossi failed to take preventive action against Israeli threats and ignored international resolutions banning attacks on civilian nuclear sites.

Iran also criticized Grossi’s public comments ahead of Israel’s recent strikes and accused him of “politicized and selective” conduct. The letter called his actions a violation of the IAEA’s statute and demanded the complaint be circulated as an official Security Council document.

Trump’s 14-day deadline timed for carrier arrival in Mideast, Petraeus says

Jun 21, 2025, 06:05 GMT+1

Donald Trump’s 14-day deadline on Iran is a strategic pause to allow US forces to fully deploy in the Middle East as he mulls airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, former commander of US forces in the region David Petraeus told Iran International.

Petraeus emphasized that Trump’s move to give Iran a two-week deadline is not mere posturing. It reflects a deliberate and calculated buildup of US military forces in the region.

“The real reason behind the two-week window is to allow the second US aircraft carrier strike group to arrive in the region and for the US military to be fully positioned,” he said.
