The wishes of ordinary Tehranis

No longer source of terror, the Iranian space program has become a regional joke with its latest mission to send a monkey into space.

Iran’s state television has described the country’s foreign film Oscar win as a victory over Israel. The Monday broadcast says the award won by “The Separation” succeeded in “leaving behind” a film from the “Zionist regime".

The United States has told France that Israel could strike Iran without US military support but the operation might not be successful, according to a leaked document published on Sunday.
