Iran blocks major Israeli cyber assaults on banking, vital infrastructure networks
Key achievements highlighted, according to a statement by the Command, include repelling major distributed denial-of-service attacks, limiting hacker groups' access to sabotage systems and steal data, causing a partial collapse of Israel's command and control (C4I) structures near military operations and disrupting Israeli data collection mechanisms used for targeted attacks.
Additionally, efforts prevented the exploitation of mobile phone malware by hostile actors, it added.
The Cyber Security Command warned collaborators with Israel that they would be 'identified and prosecuted.'
Hostilities broke out on June 13 when Israel launched airstrikes on several sites across Iran, including military and nuclear facilities, prompting Tehran to launch retaliatory strikes.
Israeli authorities said at least 25 people have been killed and hundreds injured since then in Iranian missile attacks.
Meanwhile, in Iran, 639 people have been killed and more than 1,300 wounded in the Israeli assault, according to Iranian media reports.

Malaysia Strongly Condemns Israel's Motion To Annex The West Bank
A Wisma Putra logo is seen in this picture. PUTRAJAYA, July 25 (Bernama) -- Malaysia unreservedly condemns a recent motion by the Israeli Knesset to annex the occupied West Bank, describing it as a provocative act and an outright disregard for the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people. The Malaysian Foreign Ministry said the Zionist regime's decision on July 23 constitutes a blatant violation of international law, including the Fourth Geneva Convention. 'It further violates several United Nations (UN) Security Council resolutions, namely Resolutions 242 (1967), 338 (1973), and 2334 (2016), that invalidate any attempt to legitimise the regime's illegal occupation of the Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT). bootstrap slideshow 'This decision is another provocation and clear manifestation of the regime's blatant disregard for the Palestinian legitimate rights to self-determination, rights to return, and rights to resist occupation as enshrined in the UN Charter,' it said in a statement Friday. The regime's continuous aggression is emboldened by decades of impunity and lack of accountability for its actions in the OPT, it added. Malaysia called on the international community and the UN to reject the motion unequivocally and to take concrete steps to halt Israel's systematic violation of international law, the statement said. If allowed to manifest, the international community would be equally complicit in the gravest of war crimes of this century committed by the Israeli Zionist regime against the Palestinian people, the statement further said. The ministry reaffirmed Malaysia's unwavering solidarity with the Palestinian people and their inalienable right to self-determination, supporting the establishment of an independent and sovereign State of Palestine, based on pre-1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital, and its rightful membership in the UN. Members of the Israeli Knesset on Wednesday voted 71-13 in favour of "annexing" the Palestinian territory, according to international media.

Malaysia condemns Israel's West Bank annexation motion
PUTRAJAYA: Malaysia has issued a firm condemnation of Israel's recent motion to annex the occupied West Bank, denouncing it as a provocative act that disregards Palestinian rights. The Foreign Ministry stated that the decision by the Israeli Knesset on July 23 breaches international law, including the Fourth Geneva Convention. The ministry highlighted that the motion violates key United Nations Security Council resolutions, including Resolutions 242 (1967), 338 (1973), and 2334 (2016), which reject any attempts to legitimise Israel's occupation of Palestinian territories.

Iran, European powers hold tense nuclear talks as UN sanctions ‘snapback' threat looms
ISTANBUL, July 25 — Iranian diplomats met counterparts from Germany, Britain and France on Friday for renewed nuclear talks, amid warnings that the three European powers could trigger 'snapback' sanctions outlined under the 2015 deal. The meeting in Istanbul was the first since Israel's mid-June attack on Iran, which sparked a 12-day war and targeted key nuclear and military sites. The European diplomats were seen leaving the Iranian consulate in the city, the venue for the talks, shortly before 2pm (1100 GMT), after several hours inside. There was no immediate information given by either side about the meeting. Israel's offensive — which killed top commanders, nuclear scientists and hundreds of others as residential areas were struck as well — also derailed US-Iran nuclear talks that began in April. Since then, the European powers, known as the E3, have threatened to trigger the 'snapback mechanism', which would reinstate UN sanctions on Iran by the end of August, under the moribund 2015 nuclear deal. The option to trigger the snapback expires in October, and Tehran has warned of consequences should the E3 opt to activate it. 'Inaction by the E3 is not an option,' a European source said, noting that Tehran would be reminded during the meeting that the snapback window closes within months. The source said Europeans were preparing to trigger the mechanism 'in the absence of a negotiated solution' and called on Iran to make 'clear gestures' regarding uranium enrichment and the resumption of cooperation with the UN nuclear watchdog. Ahead of the talks on Friday, Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei said the meeting would be a 'test of realism for the Europeans and a valuable opportunity to correct their views on Iran's nuclear issue', in remarks to the official IRNA news agency. Sanctions Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi, who attended the talks Friday alongside senior Iranian diplomat Majid Takht-Ravanchi, warned this week that triggering sanctions 'is completely illegal'. He also accused European powers of 'halting their commitments' to the deal after the United States unilaterally withdrew in 2018 during President Donald Trump's first term. 'We have warned them of the risks, but we are still seeking common ground to manage the situation,' said Gharibabadi. Iranian diplomats have previously warned that Tehran could withdraw from the global nuclear non-proliferation treaty if UN sanctions are reimposed. Restoring sanctions would deepen Iran's international isolation and place further pressure on its already strained economy. Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar has urged European powers to trigger the mechanism. Israel's June 13 attack on Iran came two days before Tehran and Washington were scheduled to meet for a sixth round of nuclear negotiations. On June 22, the United States joined Israel's offensive by striking Iranian nuclear facilities at Fordo, Isfahan, and Natanz. Before the war, Washington and Tehran were divided over uranium enrichment, which Iran has described as a 'non-negotiable' right, while the United States called it a 'red line'. The International Atomic Energy Agency says Iran is enriching uranium to 60 percent purity — far above the 3.67 percent cap under the 2015 deal and close to weapons-grade levels. Tehran has said it is open to discussing the rate and level of enrichment, but not the right to enrich uranium. A year after the US withdrawal from the nuclear deal, Iran began rolling back its commitments, which had placed restrictions on its nuclear activities in exchange for sanctions relief. Israel and Western powers accuse Iran of pursuing nuclear weapons, a charge Tehran has repeatedly denied. 'Unshakable' Iran insists it will not abandon its nuclear programme, with Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi saying that 'Iran's position remains unshakable, and that our uranium enrichment will continue'. Araghchi has previously noted that enrichment was 'stopped' due to 'serious and severe' damage to nuclear sites caused by US and Israeli strikes. The full extent of the damage sustained in the US bombing remains unclear. Trump has claimed the sites were 'completely destroyed', but US media reports based on Pentagon assessments have cast doubt over the scale of destruction. Since the 12-day war, Iran has suspended cooperation with the IAEA, accusing it of bias and failing to condemn the attacks. Inspectors have since left the country but a technical team is expected to return in the coming weeks after Iran said future cooperation would take a 'new form'. Israel has warned it may resume strikes if Iran rebuilds facilities or moves toward weapons capability. Iran has pledged a 'harsh response' to any future attacks. — AFP
