Iran International reports that Israel has targeted a large IRGC assassination and sabotage cell in Qom, led by a cleric from a neighboring country and affiliated with the Al-Mustafa International University, under the supervision of four senior IRGC commanders.
According to Reuters, an opponent of the Islamic Republic in Sulaymaniyah, Iraq, was targeted in a drone attack. Reports indicate that approximately 20 missile and drone attacks have targeted bases and residence centers of Iran's Kurdistan parties in the Iraqi Kurdistan Region following a ceasefire between Tehran and Washington.
Alaeddin Boroujerdi, a member of Iran's Parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission, announced that the Hormuz Strait Security Plan will be enacted as law immediately after Parliament reconvenes, with fees collected by the IRGC Navy to be deposited into four special accounts based on the rial, yuan, dollar, and euro.
On January 15, 2026, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio rejected Iran's attempts to impose rules on the Strait of Hormuz, stating that the U.S. cannot tolerate Iran's control over an international waterway and any associated fees.
