Senior Iranian MP Ebrahim Azizi:

The Texas State Board of Education approved a required reading list for public schools that includes Bible passages alongside classic literature, making Texas the first state to adopt such a mandate.

Ukraine's Budanov says Russia's recruitment of agents inside Ukraine is driven almost entirely by economics, not ideology — calling the targets "the $300 people."
