A handout picture provided by Iran’s Defence Ministry on November 29, 2020 shows mourners praying by the coffin of Iran’s assassinated top nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh during his funeral procession at Fatima Masumeh’s Shrine in Qom, south of Tehran.  IRANIAN DEFENCE MINISTRY / AFP     Iran was on Monday laying to rest one of its top nuclear scientists, as the Islamic republic weighed how and when to retaliate for an assassination pinned on arch-foe Israel. The killing of Mohsen Fakhrizadeh — whom Israel has dubbed the “father” of Iran’s nuclear weapons programme — has once more heightened tensions between Tehran and its foes, with President Hassan Rouhani accusing the Jewish state of acting as Washington’s “mercenary”. Fakhrizadeh died on Friday after being seriously wounded when assailants targeted his car and engaged in a gunfight with his bodyguards outside Tehran, according to Iran’s defence ministry. The funeral got underway with a religious singer alluding t...

Powell (Getty) An analysis by a onetime military intelligence analyst whose name was redacted in an affidavit with lawyer attorney Sidney Powell’s lawsuit against Michigan officials insists there's “unambiguous evidence” that Dominion Voter Systems servers were accessible to and were “compromised by rogue actors, such as Iran and China.” According to reporting by The Epoch Times,  Powell’s complaint, filed Wednesday against Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, and the Board of State Canvassers, cites the affidavit as representing a former electronic intelligence analyst and supporting claims that “the Dominion software was accessed by agents acting on behalf of China and Iran in order to monitor and manipulate elections, including the most recent US general election in 2020.” Epoch said that a separate complaint in Georgia expands on the assertion, claiming that “by using servers and employees connected with...

(Andrew Renneisen/Getty Images) The United States has closed at least 10 of its military bases in Afghanistan since reaching an agreement with the Taliban last February, as part of its ongoing withdrawal from the country,  The Washington Post  reports. Officials from the U.S. and Afghanistan confirmed that the bases have closed as part of the withdrawal agreement, though they did so under the condition of anonymity, since the military has not signed off on commenting about base closures with the media, and several of those closures had not been publicly reported. The newspaper notes that what happened to those bases is largely unknown. Some were given to Afghan forces, while others were vacated with the option of being reoccupied, possibly leaving some equipment that would be difficult to move behind. “Little is known about what remains of those bases,...
