President Trump on Tuesday said that he has left instructions that if Iran were to assassination him, the country should be destroyed. The president made the remark after signing an executive order in the Oval Office that reiterates applying maximum pressure on Tehran by giving him all the possible tools to engage with its government, calling the action “very tough on Iran.” “I’m going to sign it but hopefully we are not going to have to use it very much,” Trump said, adding that he wants to see about working out a deal with Iran so everybody “can live together.”…

Dushanbe(30/1 – 37.50). That moment really paints a vivid picture of the tension these practitioners are facing.

It highlights not only the fear of legal consequences but also the personal risk she faces in a society where these practices are being cracked down on. Caught between traditional Islamic belief and Tajik culture the…

The timing of the agreement, announced during British Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s visit to Kyiv, underscores the ongoing military and political backing Ukraine…

They encourage other Haitians to come to the United States. The BBC has found clear indications, including false addresses and stock photos,…

It was bitter cold, but I don’t remember freezing or being cold. Hemingway wrote that the air was so cold when you took a breath it was like drinking water. We travelled by train, then we walked through the cold streets, no bus was running, we had to hustle to catch the last ride up the mountain, then it was up to the mountain, bundled up in two thick woolen blankets with the snow showering us. It was warm looking out of the peep hole I created, flying up the mountains sitting on the last ride of the day. The…
