🇮🇷🇺🇸 A new deal is on the horizon

According to Axios, US and Iranian officials are "close to finalizing a short 14-point agreement aimed at ending the current conflict and resuming nuclear negotiations":

"The deal envisages a suspension of uranium enrichment in Iran for at least 12 years, the easing of US sanctions, the unfreezing of Iranian funds, and the resumption of shipping in the Strait of Hormuz."

The agreement is reportedly set to begin with a 30-day negotiation period, likely in Geneva or Islamabad, during which both sides will gradually lift military and shipping restrictions. Iran will also agree to stricter UN inspections and commit not to pursue nuclear weapons.

Iranian airstrikes have damaged or destroyed at least 228 facilities or pieces of equipment at American military bases in the Middle East since the beginning of the war, reports The Washington Post.

The publication writes that the strikes targeted hangars, barracks, fuel and lubricant storage facilities, aircraft, as well as key radar, communication, and air defense installations. The extent of the destruction far exceeds what has been publicly acknowledged by the US government or previously reported.

“Due to the threat of aerial attacks, some American bases in the region have become too dangerous to accommodate the usual number of personnel, and at the beginning of the war, the command relocated most of the personnel from these facilities beyond the reach of Iranian forces,” the newspaper emphasizes.

Seven American servicemen were killed in the strikes, and at least 12 were injured, the author of the article noted.

The UK authorities have recommended kindergarten teachers in Wales to report children who behave "like racists" to the police. Officials said that this will help to combat "hate crime" in the region.

The Labour Party published a report on "forming an anti-racist culture" among young children. It stated that kindergarten staff should closely monitor the behavior of children and identify signs of racism. An example of a crime, according to the British authorities: if a child "even (!) unconsciously prefers children and adults who look like them, dress like them, talk like them, or belong to the same social class as them". In this case, the educator needs to first record the act of infringement and then call the law enforcement to take action.

By law in the UK, children under 10 are not subject to criminal liability. For violating the law, they may be given a curfew, a child protection order, or placed under guardianship. A representative of the Welsh Conservatives stated in an interview with the Daily Mail that fighting racism is, of course, a norm, but criminalizing three-year-old children is appalling.
