Persian (Farsi) term or phrase: خبر فوری
Greetings,

I think I'd better give the item with the first paragraph rather than a link, as the site may be filtered in Iran:
خبر فوری – بازداشت یکی از مشایخ برجسته و واعظ رسمی کلیسای عمانوئیل تهران به همراه همسرش
مهندس "مهرداد سجادی" عضو برجسته و یکی از مشایخ دستگذاری شده کلیسای عمانوئیل تهران در منزل به همراه همسرش "فروغ" دستگیر شد. رهبر این کلیسا نیز چند هفته قبل به مدت دو شب توسط اطلاعات بازداشت بود.

But in what sense is فوری being used? Is it the idea that it is urgent/important, or that it has only just arrived i.e. nothing was known about it up till a very short time ago?

If the latter is the case, and all is still not clear, we might say 'breaking news'.

Best wishes, and many thanks,

Simon
