Russia warns US-Israeli attacks on Iran could spark ‘catastrophe’

Rising Costs and Poverty Hit Iranians Hard

Many Iranians are struggling to make ends meet as inflation and economic pressures continue to erode living standards across the country. Marjan, a crafts seller from Isfahan, says she and her husband can no longer afford small luxuries like eating out twice a month. For six years, she earned a living selling wooden crafts on Instagram, but an internet blackout during the nationwide protests in early January wiped out her income. Even after the internet returned, her monthly sales plummeted from 300 million rials ($185) to less than 30 million rials. The couple is considering selling their car just to keep up with rent and loan payments. Many families face similar hardships. Mina, a 44-year-old mother in Tehran, says food prices have more than doubled in recent months. Beef, which cost 7 million rials per kilo two months ago, recently […]

Despite this, prospects for a breakthrough remain uncertain. Although Trump has repeatedly stated that he prefers diplomacy, he has also indicated that […]

China masks South China Sea drone flights in likely Taiwan drill

China has been flying a large military drone over the South China Sea while broadcasting false electronic signals that make it appear to be other aircraft, including a Belarusian cargo jet and a British Typhoon fighter, according to flight data reviewed by analysts.​ Military attaches and security experts say at least 23 such flights have been recorded since August under the call sign YILO4200, linked to a Wing Loong 2 drone flying from Qionghai Boao airport on Hainan island. The drone’s transponder repeatedly used registration codes belonging to genuine foreign aircraft, a tactic they believe is a real time test of deception methods that could be used in a conflict over Taiwan.​ The flights trace long, looping routes over sensitive areas of the South China Sea, including waters near Chinese submarine bases, the Philippines, Vietnam and towards the Bashi Channel […]

UK Introduces Mandatory ETA for Visitors

A new electronic travel requirement for visitors to the UK takes effect on Wednesday, affecting citizens from dozens of countries, including the United States and Australia.
