For Iran, what comes next?

The Islamic Republic’s loss of its eighth president and top diplomat has raised concerns about its political future. Still, dramatic changes should not be expected so long as the replacements come from the same circle as the late officials.

EU Approves Use of Income from Frozen Russian Central Bank Assets to Aid Ukraine

The European Union has approved the use of income from frozen assets of the Central Bank of Russia to assist Ukraine, with 90% of these funds allocated to support the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

According to the EU Council, depositories in the European Union will transfer the profits from Russian assets to the purchase of military aid for Ukraine every two years.

The first extraction of income from Russian assets held in European banks is scheduled to take place in July, as reported by the European Commission.

President Putin at a meeting with Volodin: You leave for Tehran tomorrow morning.
[On your instructions,
I will fly to Tehran early in the morning to take part in the farewell ceremony with Raisi]. The death of President Raisi is a great loss, first of all, of course, for Iran and the Iranian people. Please convey my sincere condolences in connection with this tragedy. Indeed, he was a very reliable partner. A straightforward, self-confident man, first of all a man who was guided by national interests. He was a man of his word, and it was a pleasure to work with him. I mean, if we agreed on something, we could always be sure that the agreements would be fulfilled. For our part, we will do everything to ensure that Russian-Iranian relations continue in this way. Please convey these words to the Iranian leadership. And if colleagues have a need, we are ready to do everything to provide them with expert support and help in identifying the true cause of this disaster.

Iranians flood the streets mourning Ebrahim Raisi.

Raisi's chief of staff describes downed helicopter's final moments

Gholam Hossein Esmaili, who was on the third helicopter in the president's convoy, details the moments before Ebrahim Raisi's chopper disappeared from view.

I've re-posted this earlier today. But now The Cradle has published it in due format on its website.

Important information. It does raise questions.

I hope united investigative efforts by Iran and Russia clear the fog, so to speak.

And truth comes to light at the appropriate time.

Master Blaster Professor Marandi and his trademark, straightforward truth that dismantles manipulative narratives on air.

And now the video, with subtitles.

Marwa Osman--a fiercely intelligent and formidable journalist, now in Iran--sends this message (never forgetting Palestine). Please listen to her powerful words.

🇺🇲🇺🇳 US authorities may be the next to receive an arrest warrant from the International Criminal Court after the Israeli leadership, said Senator Lindsey Graham.

This is how he justified the need to introduce sanctions against the ICC in the near future.

"I hope we can find a way together to calm our dissatisfaction with the ICC. Because if they're doing this to Israel, then we're next. So at the end of the day, I hope what happens is that we impose sanctions on the ICC for this outrage so that we don't not only to help our friends in Israel, but also to protect ourselves in the future," Graham said.

The ICC is a joke.
And so is American "law and order."
