 Military judge suppresses Khalid Sheikh Mohammed’s FBI confession in 9/11 case A military judge has excluded a confession that alleged Sept. 11 attacks mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed gave to FBI agents nearly 20 years ago, ruling that the statements were not made voluntarily. The decision is a setback for the U.S. government's long-running effort to prosecute Mohammed, who is accused of helping develop the plot to hijack planes and crash them into the World Trade Center and Pentagon. Mohammed remains detained at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, alongside other defendants awaiting trial. Lt. Col. Michael Schrama, the judge overseeing the case, scheduled a June 2028 trial for Mohammed and three other defendants earlier this week. In an order issued Friday that has not been made public, Schrama barred prosecutors from using statements Mohammed made during four days of FBI questioning at Guantanamo in January 2007.

Iran intensifies threats against protesters as demonstrations approach two weeks


 Iran escalated its warnings against protesters on Saturday, with Attorney General Mohammad Movahedi Azad declaring that anyone taking part in demonstrations would be treated as an “enemy of God,” a charge that carries the death penalty. The comments were broadcast by Iranian state television, amid signs that a broader crackdown may be underway following nearly two weeks of unrest.

Despite government efforts to suppress information, protests across Iran continue to grow, with reports indicating at least 65 people have been killed and more than 2,300 detained. Internet and phone access have been largely cut off, making independent verification difficult. State media have focused on showing pro-government demonstrations and highlighting clashes with security forces, while downplaying the scale of public protests.

In Tehran and other cities, online videos show thousands still on the streets, chanting slogans against Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Semi-official outlets, including the Fars news agency and the Young Journalists’ Club, reported casualties among security forces, as well as attacks on government buildings and vehicles. Funeral footage aired on state TV in Qom highlighted public mourning amid the unrest.

Iran’s leadership has signaled continued suppression, while exiled Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi has called for demonstrators to continue protests over the weekend, urging the use of national symbols from the pre-revolution era. The unrest began on Dec. 28 over the collapse of the Iranian rial, which has lost significant value amid international sanctions, and has since evolved into widespread opposition to the theocratic government.

Efforts by the United States and other international actors to support Iranian protesters remain limited due to the country’s communication blackout. Secretary of State Marco Rubio expressed support for the demonstrators, emphasizing international attention on Iran’s response to the growing demonstrations.
