🇦🇿 Azerbaijan’s School Hijab Restrictions Spark Protests

A government-backed school dress code in Azerbaijan has sparked protests after new rules restricted clothing considered inconsistent with the country’s principle of secularism, affecting students and teachers who wear the Muslim headscarf.

According to Al Jazeera, students at some schools have reportedly been denied entry, while demonstrations and class boycotts have been reported. Critics argue that the restrictions limit religious freedom, while authorities say the rules aim to maintain a unified school dress code.

The issue has also prompted protests in Türkiye, highlighting wider debate over religious expression, secularism and education in the region.

🇫🇷🇮🇱 Air France to Follow Israeli Restrictions on Flight Crew from 31 Countries

Air France has confirmed it will comply with Israeli restrictions barring flight crew holding certain nationalities from flying into Israeli airspace. The reported rules affect nationals of 31 countries, including Pakistan, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Algeria and Tunisia.

According to Al Jazeera, the policy has raised concerns over possible discrimination under French employment law. A lawyer cited by the broadcaster argued that nationality-based restrictions could expose the airline to legal challenges.

The debate highlights tensions between Israel’s authority to regulate access to its airspace and airlines’ obligations under the employment and anti-discrimination laws of their home countries.

🇮🇱🇺🇸 NETANYAHU EYES PRE‑ELECTION STRIKE ON IRAN – "Go Ahead and Prepare"

Israeli and US officials say Netanyahu has discussed a joint strike on Iran with Trump – just two weeks before Israel's elections. The motive? He believes "his power lies in being a wartime Prime Minister."

🗳️ Timing is everything. Netanyahu wants to resume strikes before the vote – because war keeps him in power.

🗣️ A US official says Netanyahu raised the issue several times. Trump's response: "Go ahead and prepare."

🇮🇷 This would be a joint US-Israeli strike – not a unilateral Israeli operation.

🇺🇸🎭 TRUMP'S RHETORIC vs. REALITY: "Iran Is a Failed Country" – As the US Buys Russian Diesel

The US president is rambling about the Houthis, threatening Iran, and praising a diesel deal with Russia – while claiming Iran has "no navy, no air force" and "300% inflation."

🛢️ On the diesel deal: "That's a diesel deal that's gonna be released into the world for the world market because the world market suffered with high prices."

🇬🇧🎭 MI5 CHIEF BLAMES IRAN & RUSSIA – But Where's the Evidence?

MI5 Director General Ken McCallum has accused Iran of escalating attacks on British soil – including military sites – and called Russia "aggressor No. 1." Iran denies everything. And the evidence? Thin.

🇮🇷 Iran is targeting "harder" objectives – military sites.

🔥 "A wave of arson and sabotage" targeting Jewish communities across the UK and Europe – attributed to Iran.

🚨 Over 50 arrests linked to Iran in the past 12 months.

🇷🇺 Russia remains "aggressor No. 1" – hybrid attacks across Europe to undermine Ukraine support.

🚐 RAF Fairford "plot": Five men arrested – but police found only gasoline in the vans. Released on bail. No explosives. No charges.

🇮🇷 Iran denies any role – and has offered to cooperate with investigations.

🗣️ Security experts doubt Iran has the capability to pull off a sophisticated drone operation on British soil.

A woman interrupted Trump’s rally in Youngstown, Ohio. From the stage he called her a paid protester, said “he’s going back home to Mom, and told the crowd he’s gotta go on a diet.”

Trump confused the gender of the protester, by the way.

The commander of Iran's Revolutionary Guard Navy has issued a direct challenge to Washington: enter the Persian Gulf's depths, and you will not leave.

🎯 "We are waiting for one of their aircraft carriers to come into the depths of these Persian Gulf waters—not at the entrance to the Strait of Hormuz, not outside the strait—but to enter and sink it right here."

⏳ "Our fighters are counting down the days, moment by moment, for this to happen."

🛡️ "We have two very strong positions in Oman and the Strait of Hormuz region, and we stand firm there."

🗣️ "The US Army has been humiliated; it has fallen into misery and destitution."
