Mourners gather in Tehran as state funeral for senior figures underway
Large crowds gathered in Tehran waving flags and banners to honor 60 people, including top military figures and nuclear scientists, killed in Iran's 12-day conflict with Israel earlier this month. Iranian state media outlet IRIB played patriotic music over video from the state funeral ceremony, which showed mourners reaching out to touch coffins draped in Iran's red, white and green. President Masoud Pezeshkian was seen in the crowd, alongside security officers. Portraits of several slain military figures were displayed on a stage, including images of Major General Hossein Salami and General Mohammad Bagheri. Some members of the crowd also carried photos of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei as demonstrators chanted anti-America and anti-Israel slogans, Iran's semi-official Tasnim news agency reported. Key figures: Hossein Salami was the head of the secretive Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and one the most powerful men in Iran. Mohammad Bagheri had served as the chief of staff of Iran's armed forces, which the UK-based International Institute for Strategic Studies estimated could call on more than 500,000 active personnel. Israel claimed its killing of regime figures such as Salami and Bagheri, as well as several nuclear scientists, were among the key successes of its unprecedented attacks on Iran.

Israeli military rejects report that soldiers told to fire at Palestinians waiting for food, after repeated deadly incidents
CNN — The Israeli military has denied a new report that soldiers were ordered to fire at unarmed Palestinians waiting for humanitarian aid in Gaza, after hundreds of people were reported killed while approaching food distribution sites in recent weeks. On Friday, the daily Haaretz newspaper published an article alleging that Israeli soldiers in Gaza were instructed by their commanders to shoot at the crowds of Palestinians approaching aid sites, even as it was evident that the crowds posed no threat. One soldier who spoke anonymously with Haaretz described the approach routes to the aid sites as a 'killing field' where Israeli forces open fire even if there is no immediate threat. According to the article, Israeli forces recently began dispersing crowds with artillery shells, which resulted in a sharp rise in casualties. 'We strongly reject the accusation raised in the article — the IDF did not instruct the forces to deliberately shoot at civilians, including those approaching the distribution centers,' the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said in response to the article. 'To be clear, IDF directives prohibit deliberate attacks on civilians.' Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz have also rejected the report as 'vicious lies designed to discredit the IDF – the most moral army in the world.' More than 500 Palestinians have been killed as they approached aid sites or trucks carrying aid since May 27, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health. Palestinians have come under fire on a near daily basis as they approach the sites, health officials and emergency responders have said. In one such incident earlier this month, more than a dozen eyewitnesses, including those wounded in the attack, told CNN that Israeli troops shot at crowds in repeated volleys of gunfire. Weapons experts said the rate of gunfire heard in the footage, as well as images of bullets retrieved from victims, were consistent with machine guns used by the Israeli military. On multiple occasions, the IDF has acknowledged firing what it called 'warning shots' at Palestinians approaching military positions near aid distribution sites. It has also said that it is examining reports of casualties, but it has not publicly released any findings to date. According to Haaretz, the Military Advocate General has instructed the IDF General Staff's Fact-Finding Assessment Mechanism – which reviews incidents involving the potential violations of the laws of war – to investigate suspected war crimes near the aid sites. 'Any allegation of a deviation from the law or IDF directives will be thoroughly examined, and further action will be taken as necessary,' the IDF said on Friday. CNN has reached out to the IDF for additional comment. Shots fired at controversial aid sites The Gaza aid sites where the deaths have occurred are run by the controversial Israel- and US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), which hands out pre-packaged boxes of food at a handful of locations in southern and central Gaza. The group's distribution was chaotic from the start one month ago, with crowds of desperate Palestinians rushing the sites the moment they open to take the available aid before it runs out, often within less than an hour. GHF was set up to replace the United Nations aid distribution mechanism, which Israel and the US have accused Hamas of looting. Hamas has rejected those claims, and humanitarian groups say most of the UN-distributed food aid reaches civilians. People carry relief supplies from the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), a private US-backed aid group that has bypassed the longstanding UN-led system in the territory, as displaced Palestinians return from an aid distribution centre in the central Gaza Strip on June 8, 2025. The UN and major aid organisations have refused to cooperate with the GHF, citing concerns that it was designed to cater to Israeli military objectives. Eyad Baba/AFP/Getty Images GHF coordinates with the Israeli military to designate specific routes for Palestinians traveling to their aid sites and has come under sharp criticism from aid experts. It has acknowledged some episodes of violence occurring outside of its immediate aid sites, but repeatedly described food distribution operations as having 'proceeded without incident.' In response to the Haaretz reporting, the organization said it was 'not aware' of the specific incidents described. Nevertheless, it added, 'these allegations are too grave to ignore and we therefore call on Israel to investigate them and transparently publish the results in a timely manner.' On Thursday, the US State Department announced that it is awarding $30 million to the organization, a sign of continued US support for GHF, which says it distributed 46 million meals in four weeks of operations.

Iran Halts Cooperation with IAEA, Blames Director General Grossi for Nuclear Site Attacks
Taarek Refaat In a dramatic escalation of tensions surrounding its nuclear program, Iran announced the suspension of its cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), placing the blame squarely on the agency's Director General Rafael Grossi, for what it claims is his complicity in recent attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities. The announcement came via Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, who stated in a post on the social platform X (formerly Twitter) that the Iranian parliament had voted to halt all collaboration with the UN nuclear watchdog 'until the safety and security of Iran's nuclear activities are guaranteed.' According to Araghchi, Grossi played a 'regrettable role' in facilitating international pressure on Iran by allegedly covering up the fact that 'all previous issues related to Iran's nuclear file had been officially closed over a decade ago.' The minister further accused the IAEA chief of 'bias' that paved the way for what he described as 'politically motivated resolutions' passed by the IAEA's Board of Governors — resolutions that, in Araghchi's view, encouraged recent Israeli and American strikes on Iranian nuclear sites. 'By refusing to condemn these attacks,' Araghchi said, 'Grossi violated the professional duties entrusted to him by the international community. We hold him and the IAEA fully responsible for the current situation.' The remarks follow mounting frustration in Tehran over what it views as double standards in the international nuclear oversight system, particularly in light of recent sabotage incidents at nuclear facilities in Natanz, Isfahan, and Fordow, which Iranian officials attribute to Israeli covert operations. 'A National Symbol of Resistance' In a separate statement, Mohammad Eslami, head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI), praised what he called the 'resilience of the Iranian people' in the face of foreign aggression. He described Iran's nuclear program as 'a successful symbol of the Iranian nation's determination to achieve scientific independence, national sovereignty, and technological advancement.' Eslami also pointed out that Iran's nuclear sites are under 'full and continuous surveillance by the IAEA,' arguing that the attacks against these internationally monitored facilities constitute 'a clear violation of international law and established regulatory frameworks.' He sharply criticized Grossi for his 'silence' regarding these attacks, calling it 'a blatant breach of the agency's charter and international responsibilities.' A Deepening Rift The decision to suspend cooperation marks a turning point in Iran-IAEA relations and threatens to further undermine the already fragile nuclear monitoring system in the region. The IAEA has yet to issue a formal response to Iran's accusations or its suspension of cooperation. The move comes amid heightened geopolitical tensions and a stalled revival of the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), from which the United States withdrew in 2018. Despite sporadic diplomatic overtures in recent years, Iran has steadily expanded its nuclear activities, enriching uranium well beyond the limits set by the deal. With the IAEA now effectively sidelined and Iran hardening its stance, experts warn that the risk of miscalculation or open confrontation may increase, especially given ongoing shadow conflict dynamics between Tehran, Tel Aviv, and Washington. read more CBE: Deposits in Local Currency Hit EGP 5.25 Trillion Morocco Plans to Spend $1 Billion to Mitigate Drought Effect Gov't Approves Final Version of State Ownership Policy Document Egypt's Economy Expected to Grow 5% by the end of 2022/23- Minister Qatar Agrees to Supply Germany with LNG for 15 Years Business Oil Prices Descend amid Anticipation of Additional US Strategic Petroleum Reserves Business Suez Canal Records $704 Million, Historically Highest Monthly Revenue Business Egypt's Stock Exchange Earns EGP 4.9 Billion on Tuesday Business Wheat delivery season commences on April 15 News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean
