Iran executed three young men, including 19-year-old wrestling talent Saleh Mohammadi, triggering fears of a wider wave of executions linked to anti-government protests. Rights groups criticized the trial process as unjust, citing torture and forced confessions.

President Donald Trump’s military action in Iran has triggered a sharp spike in global energy prices, with oil surging above $115 per barrel and U.S. gas prices reaching $3.84 per gallon—the highest since late 2023. The escalation followed an Israeli strike on an Iranian facility near the South Pars gas field, leading to retaliatory attacks from Iran, including strikes on Qatari LNG infrastructure.
