The only surviving member of the terrorist group that was responsible for the Paris 2015 attacks has been found guilty.

Salah Abdeslam was given life without parole, the harshest possible sentence for a convicted felon in France.

Salah Abdeslam, the leading suspect and the only surviving member of the nine who terrorised Paris on November 13, 2015.

The devastating attacks left 130 people dead and almost 500 wounded, with the ISIS group targeting bars, restaurants, a concert hall and outside the famed Stade De France.

The 32-year-old was found guilty of all five counts and is just the fifth person in French history to be sentenced to life without parole since it was legalised in 1994.

The court found that his explosives vest malfunctioned, dismissing his argument that he ditched the vest because he decided not to follow through with his attack.

The individual was one of 20 people on trial for the attacks, but is the sole defendant accused of physically carrying out the attacks.

Presiding judge Jean-Louis Peries read the verdicts in a courthouse surrounded by unprecedented security, wrapping up a nine-month trial.

Reporters gather outside the special courtroom built for the 2015 attacks trial in Paris.

For months, the packed main chamber and 12 overflow rooms in the 13th century Justice Palace heard the harrowing accounts by the victims, along with testimony from Abdeslam.

Salah Abdeslam remained emotionless as his sentence was handed down.

Iran buries nuclear site entrances amid rising tensions with the U.S.

Satellite images reveal that Iran has buried all three tunnel entrances at its Isfahan nuclear complex. Analysts say the move mirrors defensive preparations taken before U.S. airstrikes devastated the facility last year, with no vehicle or personnel activity visible around the entrances.

The burial appears aimed at limiting damage from potential airstrikes and complicating any ground raid targeting enriched uranium stored in the underground facility. Experts suggest equipment or materials may have been moved into the tunnels for protection, though this remains unconfirmed.

The fortification comes amid ongoing U.S.-Iran tensions. President Trump has demanded Iran curb its nuclear program, warning of military action, while Tehran insists halting uranium enrichment is unacceptable. Recent indirect talks in Oman showed little progress toward a new deal.

US-Iran restart nuclear talks in Oman amid cautious optimism, while Trump considers military escalation and Israel demands stricter missile terms.

The United States and Iran have returned to the negotiating table in Oman, marking a fresh attempt to ease escalating nuclear tensions between the two long-time rivals. President Donald Trump described the talks as promising, suggesting momentum toward further discussions.

Iran’s Foreign Minister echoed cautious optimism, calling the meetings a positive first step while acknowledging deep-seated trust issues remain unresolved. At the heart of the talks is a major sticking point — the White House’s insistence that Iran dismantle its nuclear capability entirely.

Iran, however, maintains it has a sovereign right to enrich uranium, setting the stage for difficult negotiations ahead as both sides test whether diplomacy can hold.
