Trump gives Iran days to return to talks after ceasefire extension - Axios

Iran executed a man on Wednesday after the country’s judiciary alleged that he had “extensive cooperation” with Israel’s Mossad intelligence agency, judiciary-affiliated Mizan News reported.

Mehdi Farid was “a manager in the civil defense committee of one of the country’s sensitive organizations,” according to the report.

He was executed after the Supreme Court upheld his death sentence, Mizan said.

US President Donald Trump shared a video on Tuesday of an interview criticizing the silence of women’s and human rights activists towards abuses by Iran’s authorities.

The video featured American-Iranian doctor Sheila Nazarian speaking to Fox News.

In the interview, Nazarian criticized activists for not speaking out about issues including sexual violence, public executions and killings in Iran.

Iran is collapsing financially and losing about $500 million a day, US President Donald Trump said on Tuesday, as tensions over the Strait of Hormuz continued.

Trump said Tehran was seeking the immediate reopening of the waterway and was under severe financial pressure.

“Iran is collapsing financially! They want the Strait of Hormuz opened immediately- Starving for cash! Losing 500 Million Dollars a day. Military and Police complaining that they are not getting paid. SOS,” he wrote.

A video sent to Iran International shows a person describing a notice attributed to the Imam Khomeini Relief Committee requesting donations to fund a mausoleum for Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.

According to the account, the notice calls on citizens to contribute religious payments, including khums, zakat and charitable offerings, toward the project.

Video published by Iranian state media showed the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps staging missile displays in multiple cities including Tehran, Kerman and Arak, alongside Hezbollah flags and anti-US and anti-Israel slogans.

According to reports received by Iran International, the displays took place shortly before US President Donald Trump announced an extension of the ceasefire.

Images showed missiles displayed in public urban areas near residential zones, with no visible safety measures or crowd protection in place, raising concerns over civilian safety.
