srael/Palestine and Iran - Trump has made no secret of his desire for Israel ‘to finish the job’. With respect to Iran, his declared priority is to prevent the Islamic Republic from crossing the nuclear weapon threshold, while his policy of ‘maximum pressure’ is almost certain to continue. At the same time, he is a business man keenly focused upon reducing US commitments abroad in favour of building the economy at home, and declares himself hostile to US involvement in wars abroad. How will this glaring contradiction play out? Will he start a war with Iran or give Netanyahu the go-ahead to do so?

The public undressing of a student in protest against the harsh conduct by university security guards, coupled with the widespread video coverage of the event and reports of Ahoo Daryaei being hospitalized in an unnamed mental facility, sparked significant reactions across society.

Amnesty International, the United Nations Human Rights representative, the Socialist Party of France, and several other organizations condemned the actions of regime agents against this female doctoral student and called for her release while emphasizing the importance of respecting women's rights. In Paris, a group of French women held demonstrations in her support.
