Fairness demands more investment in housing and making life cost less, the finance minister said in the opening statement of budget 2024 on Tuesday. But “it would be irresponsible and unfair to pass on more debt to the next generations,” so the rich must pay their “fair share.”
Nuclear weapons were once deemed un-Islamic by Iran’s supreme leader, who went as far as issuing a fatwa against their production.
But a lot has changed since the 1990s, and although Ayatollah Ali Khamenei still sits atop of the regime, nuclear arms appear to be far from taboo.

York University faculty group recommends defining support of Israel as ‘racism’
A York University faculty committee has recommended that the school henceforth define any acknowledgement of Israel’s existence as evidence of “anti-Palestinian racism.”
