In brief
A few days ago, President Donald Trump warned of a "1929-style Depression … if the Democrats get in."
Prosecutors told a London court that three Iranian men allegedly surveilled at least two journalists with the Persian-language broadcaster Iran International to help plan a violent attack in retaliation for their criticism of Iran’s government. The defendants deny the charges; they acknowledge conducting surveillance but dispute their motives, with one saying he was coerced and the other two saying they did not know it was intended to aid Iranian intelligence.
On Oct. 6, 2026 U.S. Treasury warned foreign banks they can face sanctions without notice for any dealings with Iranian institutions and must cut those ties at once.
Alireza Sepahi married Mahshad Kashani in prison the night before Iran executed him and Alireza Raisi at dawn on October 5, 2026, at Dastgerd Prison.
