Iranian hackers threaten to release treasure trove of White House emails
A group of Iranian-linked hackers threatened to leak emails they claim to have stolen from key White House officials and advisers on Monday, the latest iteration in the cybersecurity battle. Months after distributing material stolen from President Donald Trump's campaign, the group of hackers informed Reuters that they had roughly 100 gigabytes of emails from accounts belonging to White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, Trump lawyer Lindsey Halligan, Trump adviser Roger Stone, and adult film star Stormy Daniels. The group, which goes by the name 'Robert,' did not disclose details of the emails to Reuters but said they were considering selling the materials. The hacking disclosure arrived shortly after the Trump administration issued a warning to people about the potential for cyberattacks against critical infrastructure by Iranian state-sponsored or affiliated groups. The White House and FBI Director Kash Patel said in a statement that it 'takes all threats against the president, his staff, and our cybersecurity with the utmost seriousness' and that it was a 'top priority' to safeguard the administration's ability to execute the president's mission. 'Anyone associated with any kind of breach of national security will be fully investigated and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law,' Patel said in the statement. In recent years, the U.S. has experienced similar cyberattacks from foreign-linked hacking groups. Last year, Chinese-affiliated hackers tried to target data from Trump and Vice President JD Vance's phones while the 'Robert' group released a trove of emails obtained from the Trump campaign to reporters, including some from Stone. 'This so-called 'cyber attack' is nothing more than digital propaganda, and the targets are no coincidence,' Marci McCarthy, the director of public affairs for the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, said in a statement. 'This is a calculated smear campaign meant to damage President Trump and discredit honorable public servants who serve our country with distinction. These criminals will be found and they will be brought to justice. Let this be a warning to others, there will be no refuge, tolerance, or leniency for these actions,' McCarthy added. Tensions between Iran and the U.S. have mounted recently after Trump ordered missile strikes on nuclear facilities in the country, raising the threat of cyber attacks. Officials have also warned that groups supportive or affiliated with Tehran may seek to disrupt critical infrastructure systems, defense contractors, or other American companies with ties to Israel.

CNN, New York Times Reject Trump's Demands to Retract ‘False' and ‘Unpatriotic' Stories About Iran Bombing Raids: ‘No Apology Will Be Forthcoming'
President Trump threatened to sue CNN and the New York Times over their reports about his government's early assessment that U.S. bombing raids on Iran had set the regime's nuclear program back by a few months — contrary to Trump's claim that Iran's capabilities were 'totally obliterated.' Trump's personal lawyer on June 25 sent letters to the news outlets demanding they issue retractions and apologies. Both CNN and the Times said they responded to the letters by rejecting the claims. According to the Times, Trump's attorney claimed the stories were defamatory, 'false' and 'unpatriotic.' Trump has railed against CNN, the Times and other news organizations that have reported on intelligence, alleging the outlets 'want to try and demean me.' More from Variety Trump Angrily Calls for CNN to Fire Reporter Over Story on Iran Nuclear Strikes: She Should Be 'Thrown Out Like a Dog' Bernie Sanders Spars With Joe Rogan Over Trump's '60 Minutes' Lawsuit: 'The Impact Is Clearly Intimidation,' Senator Says CBS Reiterates Claim That Trump's '60 Minutes' Lawsuit Is 'Meritless,' Refutes President's Assertion Edited Interview Was 'Commercial Speech' David McCraw, SVP and deputy general counsel for the New York Times Co., wrote in a reply to Trump's lawyer dated June 26, 'No retraction is needed. No apology will be forthcoming. We told the truth to the best of our ability. We will continue to do so.' In the letter, McCraw wrote, 'I must admit I was surprised by your letter's unwavering certainty that the U.S. air strike 'unequivocally eliminated Iran's nuclear capabilities.' That was at odds not just with the preliminary assessments of the U.S. intelligence services that we quoted, but — of more direct relevance to this letter — at odds with what your client said following the publication of the Article.' McCraw then quoted Trump's comments at the NATO summit saying, 'The intelligence was very inconclusive. The intelligence says, 'We don't know, it could have been very severe' — that's what the intelligence says.' The Times' story 'that the President may have overstated the case when he said the Iranian sites had been 'obliterated,' that the impact of the bombing raid was uncertain, that the attack did not eliminate the threat posed by Iran,' McCraw wrote, 'is not false and does not defame the President.' The Times posted a copy of McCraw's letter at this link. A CNN rep confirmed the network received a similar letter from Trump's lawyer and responded to it, 'rejecting the claims in the letter.' The spokesperson declined to comment further. On Tuesday, CNN was first to report that the U.S. military strikes on three Iran nuclear facilities over the weekend 'did not destroy the core components of the country's nuclear program and likely only set it back by months,' citing 'an early US intelligence assessment' by the Pentagon's Defense Intelligence Agency. The New York Times, along with other news outlets including the Associated Press and ABC News, shortly thereafter matched CNN's reporting. Separately Wednesday, Trump on social media attacked Natasha Bertrand, one of CNN reporters on the Iran story, whom he said should be fired by the network and 'thrown out 'like a dog.'' In a statement about Trump's attack on its employee, CNN said, 'We stand 100% behind Natasha Bertrand's journalism and specifically her and her colleagues' reporting of the early intelligence assessment of the U.S. attack on Iran's nuclear facilities. CNN's reporting made clear that this was an initial finding that could change with additional intelligence. We have extensively covered President Trump's own deep skepticism about it. However, we do not believe it is reasonable to criticize CNN reporters for accurately reporting the existence of the assessment and accurately characterizing its findings, which are in the public interest.' Also Wednesday, Trump had lashed out at CNN and the Times, writing on his Truth Social platform that the reporters for the outlets' stories about the DIA report 'are just BAD AND SICK PEOPLE. You would think they would be proud of the great success we had, instead of trying to always make our Country look bad.'

Berlin summons Iranian ambassador over arrest of alleged spy
Iran's ambassador to Germany was summoned after a suspected spy was arrested in Denmark. The man allegedly scouted Jewish sites in Berlin on orders from Iranian intelligence. Germany warned it won't tolerate threats to Jewish life and is investigating possible terror links. Iran's ambassador to Germany was summoned by the foreign ministry on Tuesday after the arrest in Denmark of a man suspected of spying on Jewish targets in Berlin for Tehran. 'We will not tolerate any threat to Jewish life in Germany,' the ministry said in a post on X announcing the summoning. It added that the allegations needed to be 'thoroughly investigated'. The Danish suspect, identified only as Ali S, was arrested in the city of Aarhus by local police on Thursday, the German federal prosecutor's office said in a statement earlier on Tuesday. The man was 'strongly suspected of having worked for an intelligence service', they said. READ | Iran unleashes 'wave of repression' after Israel war - activists Ali S had, in early 2025, 'received an order from an Iranian intelligence service to collect information on Jewish localities and specific Jewish individuals in Berlin'. To this end, he allegedly scoped out three properties in June. The suspected reconnaissance work was 'presumably in preparation for further intelligence activities in Germany, possibly including terrorist attacks on Jewish targets', the statement said. Speaking on a visit to Odesa in Ukraine, German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul said that, if confirmed, the incident 'would once again underline that Iran is a threat to Jews all over the world'. According to German weekly Der Spiegel, the suspect had taken photos of buildings, including the seat of the German-Israeli Society in Berlin. Investigators believe Ali S was working on behalf of the Quds Force, the foreign operations arm of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, Der Spiegel reported. Germany has been on high alert for possible attacks against Jewish people since the Palestinian militant group Hamas's assault on Israel on 7 October 2023, which triggered the war in Gaza. In September, German police shot dead a young Austrian man known to have had ties to radical Islam as he was preparing to attack the Israeli consulate in Munich. German authorities have also been on alert for potential Iranian espionage activity on their soil. A German-Iranian national was jailed in late 2023 over a plot to attack a synagogue in the western German city of Bochum in 2022. Authorities said the plot was planned with the help of 'Iranian state agencies'.
