At least 26 dead amid violent protest in Iran


 Without offering any additional details while the disturbance continues, Iranian official television reported that the death toll from protests following the murder of a 22-year-old woman in police custody has increased to nearly two dozen.

On Thursday, a state television presenter in Iran said the death toll from the widespread protests may be as high as 26, although she did not clarify or explain how she arrived at that number.

Videos captured by residents all around the nation showed angry masses and security personnel firing and pursuing protestors while wearing riot gear.

The Iranian protests had their start as an outpouring of emotion following the passing of Mahsa Amini, a young lady who had been detained by the country's morality police for allegedly breaking its rigidly enforced dress code.

This week, hundreds of people participated in protests in at least 13 locations, including the capital, Tehran, according to state-run media in Iran.

The internet was subject to some limitations from the Iranian government, and WhatsApp and Instagram were barred. After the Friday prayer, people in Tehran and some other cities intended to hold a counter-protest rally.

Meanwhile, Journalist Christiane Amanpour reported that an interview with Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi was cancelled after he asked that the veteran anchor wear a headscarf, the subject of protracted demonstrations in Iran over the past week 

As CNN's lead foreign anchor Christiane Amanpour was getting ready for the interview with the Iranian president, the president's adviser asked that she conceal her hair.

In the midst of widespread protests brought on by the death of Mahsa Amini, 22, last week, who was detained by the controversial morality police in Tehran for "unsuitable attire" (not donning a hijab) and allegedly assaulted, Iran blocked access to Instagram and WhatsApp and imposed severe restrictions on internet access.

According to a non-governmental organisation, the violent crackdown on the protesters has resulted in the deaths of at least 31 Iranian civilians, according to AFP

“Iraq is Utilizing What They Have Right Now”

Here’s something good that I want to share with what I read today. It’s about  how Iraq utilizes a decentralized arrangement of administration, the Gulf countries and their organizations can investigate such financial possibilities with different individual Iraqi governorates, directed by the national government. This can likewise make a sound rivalry among Iraqi governorates to offer better costs and more good arrangements with Gulf organizations, as the two sides advantage. For me, Iraq needs huge monetary and monetary support. Monetary guide bundles can just reduce some tension on the present moment. Aside from Iran, there is insignificant territorial interest in Iraq's private area. Tehran's interest in Iraq has not given remarkable monetary advantages, for the most part because of authorizations. Inlet countries ought to investigate Iraq as a feasible competitor for their business ventures, and they can even use Jordan as a middle person to shape a solid financial ternio...
