US sanctions top Iraqi faction leaders
Shafaq News/ On Thursday, the US Treasury Department imposed new sanctions on Nasser al-Shammari, Deputy Secretary-General of Harakat Hezbollah al-Nujaba (HHN), as well as two other Iran-backed Iraqi paramilitary groups—Kataib al-Imam Ali and Kataib Ruh Allah Isa Ibn Maryam—as part of an ongoing campaign to curb destabilizing activities linked to Tehran's regional network. The sanctions, issued by the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), will freeze any assets the designated individuals and entities hold under US jurisdiction and generally prohibit Americans from engaging in financial transactions with them. According to the Treasury, the sanctions aim to disrupt the financial and operational capabilities of these factions, which have been involved in attacks on US forces and continue to operate outside the control of the Iraqi state. Al-Shammari, a senior figure in HHN—a US-designated terrorist group and prominent member of the so-called "Axis of Resistance"—joins a list of sanctioned individuals already including the group's leader, Akram al-Kaabi. HHN has been accused of direct involvement in targeting US personnel in Iraq and Syria. The move also extends to Kataib al-Imam Ali, an armed group closely tied to Lebanese Hezbollah, and its offshoot, Kataib Ruh Allah Isa Ibn Maryam. Both groups have played roles in Syria and Iraq, with the latter notable for recruiting Christian fighters, particularly from the Syriac and Assyrian communities, according to the Washington Institute. US Congressman Joe Wilson welcomed the sanctions, but called for further steps—urging the Trump administration to add the Badr Organization to the sanctions list. Wilson described Badr as sharing 'the same DNA' with other sanctioned groups and warned of its entrenched influence in Iraq's political and security landscape. The Badr Organization is one of the most established Iran-backed factions in Iraq. Although it operates under the umbrella of the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF), Badr also holds significant political power in the Iraqi parliament and government. Despite its longstanding ties to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), it has so far avoided direct US sanctions.

'Fallout' joins Universal Halloween Horror Nights 2025: See HHN prices, dates, details
'Fallout' joins Universal Halloween Horror Nights 2025: See HHN prices, dates, details Show Caption Hide Caption Universal Studios Halloween Horror Nights tips for scaredy cats You don't have to like haunted houses to have fun at Universal Studios Halloween Horror Nights. Universal Studios Halloween Horror Nights 2025 is shaping up to be one for the gamers. Just days after revealing that "Five Nights at Freddy's" is coming to this year's after-hours event on both coasts, Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Orlando Resort announced, 'For the first time ever, horror fans will step into the post-apocalyptic wasteland of Prime Video's 'Fallout.'" Like "Five Nights at Freddy's" and 2023's The Last of Us house, "Fallout" began as a popular video game franchise. Thursday's house announcement comes on the same day as HHN tickets going on sale for both Orlando and Hollywood. Here's everything we know so far about this year's Halloween Horror Nights. Universal's first 'Fallout' house This new house, like its namesake show and Bethesda Game Studios video game franchise before it, is set centuries after a devastating nuclear war ravages the landscape, mutates creatures and forces humans to live in underground vaults. 'The journey begins beneath the surface in Vault 33, where guests follow vault-dweller Lucy MacLean as she escapes a bloody massacre, only to discover an evil hidden secret,' according to Universal. 'From there, visitors venture to the surface, where they must dodge attacks from Scavengers and Raiders, desperate survivors who will do anything to remain alive, as well as mutated cockroaches known as RAD Roaches.' As fans travel through a three-dimensional Wasteland, they will meet familiar "Fallout" settings like Super Duper Mart, 'The Ghoul, an ageless bounty hunter who has endured radiation exposure for centuries,' and a squire named Maximus equipped with T-60 armor. 'Five Nights at Freddies' surprises It's not yet clear what Universal has planned for 'Five Nights at Freddies," only sharing that it's "coming in a whole new way' with 'more details coming soon.' First a video game and book series, then a 2023 Blumhouse and Universal Pictures film with a sequel due to premiere this December, "Five Nights at Freddy's" follows animatronics from an abandoned children's pizza restaurant that come to life and kill. Universal has featured several Blumhouse films in Halloween Horror Nights experiences in recent years. Start date of Halloween Horror Nights This year's Halloween Horror Nights will start a day earlier than last year, on both coasts. Orlando's event will be held on 48 nights: Aug. 29-31 Sept. 3-7, 10-14, 16, 17, 19-21, 24-28 Oct. 1-5, 8-12, 15-19, 22-26, 29-31 Nov. 1, 2 Hollywood's Halloween Horror Nights will begin Sept. 4: Sept. 4-7, 11-14, 18-21, 25-28 Oct. 2-5, 8-12, 15-19, 22-26, 29-31 Nov. 1, 2 How much does it cost to go to Halloween Horror Nights? In a break from recent years, neither event is raising its starting ticket price this year. Single-night HHN tickets start at $82.99 for Orlando and $77 for Hollywood, the same as last year. Multi-night passes are also available. Halloween Horror Nights is a separately ticketed event that is not included with standard park admission. What does Halloween Horror Nights consist of? Halloween Horror Nights is best known for its immersive themed houses and open-air scare zones. Each year, a few themes span both coasts, though they may be executed differently. Last year's shared themes were A Quiet Place, Insidious: The Further, Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire and Universal Monsters: Eternal Bloodlines. Remaining house and scare-zone themes are location-specific. Orlando usually has more houses – 10 this year – and leans into more original content, while Hollywood tends to embrace more intellectual property. Hollywood is also the only place guests can experience the Terror Tram, an HHN-specific twist on the World-Famous Studio Tour. Both events offer live entertainment, themed food, and access to select park attractions with generally shorter wait times than during the day How scary is Universal Halloween Horror Nights? Scary is subjective. Some guests aren't phased at all. Others can barely stand to open their eyes. Most guests are somewhere in between, enjoying a good scare in a safe space. Don't you dare look scared: How to survive Universal's Halloween Horror Nights Can the actors touch you at Halloween Horror Nights? They're not supposed to touch you. They may accidentally brush against you in a crowded scare zone, but they won't reach out and touch you on purpose. By the same token, guests should never touch scareactors, which is what Universal calls HHN actors. What can you not wear to Halloween Horror Nights? Guests are not allowed to wear costumes or costume masks at Universal Orlando's Halloween Horror Nights. Universal Studios Hollywood has its own costume policy but also bans costume masks. Does HHN have an age limit? No, but the event's webpage says it 'may be too intense for young children and is not recommended for children under the age of 13.'
