A revolutionary court in northwestern Iran has handed down death sentences to four individuals charged with espionage on behalf of Israel, according to a report by the semi-official Fars news agency on Wednesday.
Fars stated that three of the defendants, whose nationalities were not disclosed, were accused of aiding Israel’s intelligence agency, Mossad, in transporting equipment involved in the 2020 assassination of Iranian nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh.
Fakhrizadeh was regarded by Western intelligence agencies as the key figure behind a secret Iranian program aimed at developing nuclear weapons. However, the Iranian government has consistently denied such allegations.

Life is full of twists and turns. We think everything is set and that our lives will proceed according to one plan, and then things switch. We lose our job, the kollel is no longer satisfying, we receive an offer from an out-of-town community, someone gets sick r”l, and so on.
There are so many variables in life for which we cannot plan. How we deal with them determines whether we will succeed. We can either throw up our hands in desperation, filled with misery and gloom, or we can accept that everything that happens to us is from Hashem and realize that it is up to us to accept the change and make the best of it.


Early Wednesday morning, Allen Lichtman, a political historian renowned for his accurate election predictions, appeared to be at a loss for words as he came to terms with the fact that his forecast—of a Kamala Harris win in the presidential race—was wrong. Lichtman, who has correctly predicted the results of nine out of the last ten elections since 1984, could be heard on a livestream exclaiming “I don’t get it” as Donald Trump’s overwhelming victory became clear.
The 77-year-old scholar and his son, Sam, reacted with surprise as the election results unfolded, streaming their reactions live for nearly six hours into the night. As the tide turned in Trump’s favor, the two were visibly stunned by the shifting numbers.

Donald Trump’s proposed large-scale deportation plan, titled “Operation Aurora,” is moving closer to becoming a reality, raising concerns among immigrant advocacy organizations that millions of families could face forced removal from the U.S.
This mass deportation initiative, affecting those without legal status, was a cornerstone of the president-elect’s campaign, which touted November 5 as “liberation day” from previous immigration policies.
Pre-election polls indicated general support for deportation policies among some voters.
The American Immigration Council has projected that implementing Trump’s plan, potentially affecting 11-14 million individuals, would come with an estimated cost of over $315 billion.

Donald Trump’s claimed victory in the presidential election on Wednesday is set to halt the criminal cases against him, at least for the duration of his four-year term in the White House.
As the first former U.S. president to be charged with criminal offenses, Trump has faced four separate prosecutions this year. These cases range from allegations of a hush money cover-up involving adult film star Stormy Daniels during his 2016 campaign to his efforts to reverse the 2020 election outcome. In May, a New York jury found him guilty of falsifying business records in connection with the Daniels case, making him the first former president convicted of a felony.
