CENTCOM post, machine translation: CENTCOM update on recently fallen U.S. service members Tampa, Florida — The United States Central Command (CENTCOM) announced yesterday that two U.S. service members were killed and one was missing following Iran’s July 17 attack in Jordan. After an extensive search, U.S. military forces found unidentified human remains at the site earlier today. The process of confirming the identity of the remains is ongoing. In a separate incident, a U.S. service member was killed in northern Iraq on July 18 during a controlled detonation of unexploded munitions from a downed Iranian attack drone. Another service member was injured and is receiving medical treatment for minor injuries. Out of respect for the families during the notification process, CENTCOM is withholding further information, including the identities of the missing and fallen service members.

Iran said the United States attacked the site of the under-construction Darkhovin power plant early Sunday with “a number of projectiles.” Darkhovin is a city in the Darkhovin District of Shadegan County, Khuzestan Province, Iran. The International Atomic Energy Agency said it was investigating the reports and noted that the plant “is at a very early stage of construction and, during the Agency’s last inspection, contained no nuclear material.” The agency added that the incident “is unlikely to pose any radiological risk,” but IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi posted a message on X “calling for military restraint around all sites associated with nuclear activities.” @ VahidHeadline 📡 @VahidOnline

The Israeli military said on Sunday that Israeli and Jordanian forces had intercepted an Iranian missile fired toward the Jordanian city of Aqaba. Minutes before the interception, the Israeli military had said it had detected missiles launched from Iran toward Aqaba and warned of the possibility that the attacks could “spill over” into Israeli territory. In response to an AFP question about reports of an explosion heard near the southern Israeli city of Eilat, an Israeli military spokesperson said Israeli and Jordanian forces had jointly intercepted a projectile. Meanwhile, the Jordanian military said it had shot down “three Iranian missiles that had targeted the country,” while another missile landed in a desert area. It did not specify the exact location. Iran has targeted Jordan several times in the latest round of fighting with the United States, which has continued for the past eight days. The U.S. military said two American service members were killed during Iran’s attack on Jordan on Friday. @ VahidHeadline Update: The Israeli military’s account, machine translation: ⭕️ The Israeli military detected missiles launched from Iran toward the Jordanian city of Aqaba, near Israel. Several interceptor missiles were fired at the remnants of the missiles to prevent them from striking inside Israel. No damage or injuries were reported. No warning sirens sounded, in accordance with instructions. The incident is over. Update: Jordan’s official Foreign Ministry account on X reported that the chargé d’affaires at the Embassy of the Islamic Republic in Amman had been summoned to protest Tehran’s attacks on Jordanian territory and provocative remarks by Islamic Republic officials. The statement said the ministry’s spokesperson had told the chargé d’affaires to convey Jordan’s clear message to Tehran: the attacks must stop immediately. ... @ VahidOOnLine 📡 @VahidOnline

Abbas Araghchi, the foreign minister of the Islamic Republic, said in a video interview that since the start of the new leadership period, he has not personally met with Mojtaba Khamenei, and that only a limited number of people have managed to meet him. @VahidOOnLine Abbas Araghchi, the Islamic Republic’s foreign minister, referring to the reason the former leader of the Islamic Republic was killed, says there is still a possibility of a “security breach” at the highest levels of government. Speaking with a regime-affiliated documentarian in Tehran in an interview, excerpts of which were published on Sunday, 28 Tir, he referred to “the presence of infiltrators at the highest levels of the system” and said: “Infiltration isn’t only about obtaining information; it’s also about shaping decisions and directing the psychological climate.” He stressed that the bombing of the “Leader’s compound,” in which Ali Khamenei and several senior Iranian military commanders were killed, was carried out through a “security breach,” adding that the breach still exists. According to Araghchi, on 9 Esfand 1404, when the joint Israeli-American attack on Iran began, the offices of Ali Shamkhani and Mohammad Shirazi, two military officials, and Ali-Asghar Hejazi, a security official very close to Khamenei, were also targeted, in addition to Ali Khamenei’s office. Of them, only Hejazi survived. Javad Mogouyi, who interviewed Araghchi, explains during the conversation that, in addition to Khamenei’s meeting with the country’s defense officials, another very important meeting was held that day: a meeting of the Deputies’ Council of the Ministry of Intelligence at another location in Tehran. He appears to be referring to a meeting that Israel said it targeted in the first hours of its joint attacks with the United States, killing several senior members of the Islamic Republic’s Ministry of Intelligence. On 11 Esfand last year, the Israeli military announced that Seyed Yahya Hamidi, the deputy intelligence minister for “Israel” affairs, was among those killed. According to the Israeli military, he “directed terrorist activities against Jews, Western actors, and regime opponents inside Iran and abroad.” Jalal Pourhossein, described as the Ministry of Intelligence’s “head of espionage,” was also among those killed, according to an Israeli military statement. Iranian media had previously confirmed the death of Mohammad Baseri, a senior Ministry of Intelligence official, in Israel’s attack on 9 Esfand. @VahidHeadline Araghchi also rejected critics’ claim that the negotiations paved the way for war, saying the Islamic Republic had held firm to its position on uranium enrichment during the negotiations and that, after the talks failed, the other side chose the military option. Araghchi also said scenarios had been drawn up in case the Islamic Republic’s leader was killed, and that “these scenarios even had specific codes,” although, he said, no one at decision-making meetings was inclined to raise them. @VahidHeadline Abbas Araghchi, speaking about the decision-making process for negotiations with the United States, said: “At that time [between the two wars], we set up a nuclear committee within the Secretariat of the Supreme National Security Council. It has now become the negotiations committee and is known as the six-member committee.” “All discussions related to the negotiations took place in this committee, and its decisions went through exactly the same approval process as decisions of the Supreme National Security Council.” According to Abbas Araghchi, the committee was initially chaired by Ali Shamkhani and then by Ali Larijani. Both were killed in the U.S. and Israeli attacks. @VahidHeadline 📡 @VahidOnline

An underground female singer who performs in Iran under the name “Anita Papist” announced on Saturday, after posting her court ruling, that she had been sentenced to 74 lashes. Anita, who posts videos of herself singing on social media, was sentenced to this punishment, according to the ruling, for “offending public morals.” The singer also posted an image of a receipt showing that her passport had been confiscated at the airport, and said her mobile phone line had been blocked. A month ago, the Qom Provincial Criminal Court separately sentenced singer Parastoo Ahmadi and eight other members of the “Caravanserai Concert” crew and musicians to 74 lashes as ta’zir punishment, a two-year travel ban, and a two-year ban on artistic activity. The news quickly made headlines and drew a response from Amnesty International. But the news of lash sentences for two other female singers, and similar stories, has gone largely unnoticed these days amid reports of war and relentless attacks on the south of the country. @ VahidHeadline 📡 @VahidOnline

Dena Karari, a dual Iranian-American citizen who had finally left Iran after about 19 months under a travel ban and security restrictions, has arrived in the United States. Meanwhile, Islamic Republic officials continue to deny reports that she was released. Jared Genser, Dena Karari’s lawyer, thanked everyone who played a role in securing her departure, referring to “566 days of Dena Karari’s unjust detention by the Iranian government.” He added: “We must now redouble our efforts to secure the freedom of other American citizens who remain in Iran.” News of Dena Karari’s departure from Iran was first announced on 24 Tir by U.S. President Donald Trump. On the social media platform Truth Social, Trump wrote that Iran had allowed an American citizen—who, he said, had been “wrongfully” detained since December 2024—to leave the country, describing the move as a “gesture of goodwill” by the Islamic Republic. Shortly afterward, Jared Genser confirmed the citizen’s identity and said that, after months of security restrictions, Dena Karari was on her way back to the United States. However, Mizan News Agency, which is affiliated with the judiciary, denied reports that an American citizen had been released or exchanged, claiming that no “convicted prisoner or American spy” had been freed or exchanged from Iran’s prisons. Despite this denial, Mizan did not address the fact that Dena Karari had left Iran or that her travel ban had been lifted, and offered no explanation of how the dual citizen had departed the country. Dena Karari, 53, who lives in California, traveled to Shiraz in 2024 to visit family members. According to her lawyer, her passport was confiscated in Iran and she was barred from leaving the country. Although she was never formally imprisoned, she was repeatedly interrogated by security agencies in the months that followed and subjected to severe restrictions. According to her lawyer, Islamic Republic officials had accused her of, among other things, “cooperating with a hostile government” and “espionage”—charges that Karari and her lawyers have called baseless. Genser has also said that security agencies’ interest in his client stemmed from her work with the Mehr Children’s Foundation, a U.S.-registered nonprofit that, with authorization from the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) and private donations, supported underprivileged children in Iran. Some international media outlets have also reported that, in addition to working for a U.S. technology company, Karari managed the charity. According to people close to her, this contributed to increased scrutiny of her by Islamic Republic security agencies. @VahidHeadline 📡 @VahidOnline

Mizan News Agency, affiliated with the judiciary, reported on Sunday that the death sentences of Erfan Esfandiyari and Golmohammad Mohammadi, two young protesters arrested in connection with the case known as the Ali-Khani Square case in Isfahan, had been carried out at dawn that same day. Last week, the Committee to Follow Up on the Situation of Detainees in Iran warned that the death sentences of 12 protesters arrested in Dey 1404 in Isfahan in the case known as “Ali-Khani Square” had been “upheld” by the Supreme Court. Among the 12, some of whom have been sentenced to death two, three, or even four times, are several teenagers and one Afghan national. Reports said Golmohammad Mohammadi was an Afghan national. The case concerns events on 18 Dey 1404 in the area around Ali-Khani Square, between Malekshahr and Kaveh in Isfahan, where Islamic Republic officials said four Basij and Special Units personnel—Hossein Ramezani, Mohammad Hemmati, Seyed Ali Khoshuei, and Valiollah Safari—were killed. Following their deaths, 59 people were arrested in Isfahan and a sweeping case was opened against them. @VahidHeadline The state-run outlet accused protesters of “setting buildings on fire, damaging street signs, cameras and traffic lights, damaging a police station and precinct, burning tires, blocking streets, attacking people passing by, and damaging a mosque” during the gatherings at Ali-Khani Square on 18 Dey. According to the report, “enemy agents” at the 18 Dey protests were armed with “various firearms, knives, machetes, swords, and Molotov cocktails,” and four police officers were killed in clashes with them at Ali-Khani Square. Twelve people have been sentenced to death in the Ali-Khani Square case. Esfandiyari was 19 and Mohammadi was 24 when their sentences were carried out. The 10 other defendants in the case who are under death sentences have been transferred to solitary confinement, and fears are mounting that their executions may be imminent. @VahidOOnLine 📡 @VahidOnline

The New York Times, citing several U.S. officials, reported that the Islamic Republic’s attack on Jordan on Friday, which killed two American soldiers and left one missing, was the fourth attack on U.S. forces in the country in the past five days. The officials said the attacks had wounded dozens of American soldiers in total and damaged several Black Hawk helicopters. The officials said the attacks and the resulting damage showed that the Islamic Republic’s forces still had significant missile stockpiles and had become more skilled at evading U.S. air defense systems. The New York Times wrote that Jordan’s importance to U.S. operations had grown, as the Pentagon moved some of its forces from Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar to Jordan and Israel before the war and in its early days. U.S. officials said restrictions imposed by some of Washington’s regional allies on the deployment of American forces and on U.S. aircraft flying over their territory had also increased Jordan’s role in U.S. operations. The Pentagon declined to comment. @ VahidOOnLine 📡 @VahidOnline
