'Israel' claims Iran attempted to target 'Israelis' in Cyprus
'Israel' has accused Iran's Revolutionary Guard of attempting to carry out an attack against 'Israeli' citizens in Cyprus.

He provided no further details, and there was no immediate response from Iranian officials. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps – the terror arm of the Iranian regime – tried to carry out an attack on Israeli citizens in Cyprus.

Romanian authorities open case against Tristan Tate for election interference
Romanian authorities have opened a formal investigation into British-American influencer Tristan Tate over accusations of violating election laws by posting political content on social media during the country's recent presidential election. The probe, confirmed by police sources, focuses on a social media post Tate reportedly shared on election day that contained either explicit or implicit political messaging, actions prohibited under Romanian electoral regulations. Tate, 36, is the younger brother of Andrew Tate, 38, the controversial influencer known for his misogynistic statements. Together, the brothers command a combined social media following exceeding 13 million users. Both siblings are already under separate investigations in Romania concerning multiple serious charges, which they vehemently deny. The latest case was initiated by Ilfov county police following an official complaint. Authorities allege that Tristan Tate's post may have attempted to influence Romanian voters, potentially violating laws against foreign interference and campaigning during restricted periods. Tristan Tate has been summoned for questioning on Tuesday. Official sources confirmed that Andrew Tate is not implicated in this specific investigation. Meanwhile, Tate himself appeared to address the issue in a video posted on X on election day, stating, 'I am not campaigning. As an American man, using an American platform, in Dubai, to talk about political issues, I am not subject to Romania's 'no campaigning' law.' The Tate brothers have built a massive online presence in recent years but have faced widespread criticism for offensive remarks about women. They were arrested in Romania in December 2022, with Andrew accused of rape and human trafficking, and Tristan suspected of human trafficking. Both denied the allegations and were placed under house arrest for several months. In August 2024, they faced new accusations in Romania, including sex with a minor and trafficking underage persons, charges they also deny. In the UK, the brothers face 21 charges, ranging from rape and actual bodily harm to human trafficking. Following an arrest warrant issued by Bedfordshire Police in March 2024, the Tates publicly rejected all charges, declaring themselves 'very innocent men.' Romanian courts ruled they could only be extradited to the UK once the ongoing Romanian proceedings conclude. Earlier this year, prosecutors unexpectedly lifted a two-year travel ban, allowing the brothers to fly from Romania to Florida by private jet in February 2025. They returned to Romania in March, telling reporters: 'Innocent men don't run from anything.'

European powers urge Iran to pursue diplomacy amid 'Israeli' bombardment
European powers on Friday urged Iran to continue diplomatic efforts to resolve the standoff over its nuclear programme, as 'Israel' maintains its military strikes on the Islamic Republic. 'The good result today is that we leave the room with the impression that Iran is ready to discuss these questions further,' said German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul, speaking alongside his British, French, and EU counterparts after talks with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi. British Foreign Secretary David Lammy emphasized the importance of continued dialogue: 'We are keen to continue ongoing discussions and negotiations with Iran, and we urge Iran to continue their talks with the United States.' French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot added, 'There can be no definitive solution through military means to the Iran nuclear problem.' For his part, Iran's Foreign Minister Araghchi expressed readiness to support the 'continuation' of nuclear talks with European nations, but signaled that diplomatic progress would depend on a halt in aggression, saying Iran is prepared to "consider" diplomacy 'once the aggression is stopped.'
