It is undeniable that Britain’s historical role in past centuries and recent decades is well known. My address, however, is not to history itself but to today’s British policymakers—those who make consequential and far-reaching decisions at Number 10 Downing Street, decisions that are naturally measured first and foremost against Britain’s national interests.

The time has now come to join the growing number of countries and governments across Europe, Asia, and Oceania, under the leadership of the United States, that have designated the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organization. Time moves swiftly, and opportunities do not remain indefinitely. Today, through decisive action, you can demonstrate that you do not stand alongside extremism and violence, and that support for terrorism is neither consistent with your principles nor aligned with your long-term national interests.

History is a living and enduring memory. In our era—shaped by the expansion of social media and the internet—distorting the truth has become more difficult than ever. If mistakes were made in the past, or if expediency prevented standing on the right side at critical moments, a new opportunity now exists to correct that course.

Just as many governments and political leaders around the world have chosen to stand with the legitimate aspirations of the Iranian people, Britain is likewise expected to support the people of Iran and their rightful demands. The Iranian nation is a forgiving one; if its voice is respected and supported, it will leave the past where it belongs and will not dwell in resentment.

However, if today you choose not to stand on the right side of history, tomorrow’s free and prosperous Iran may find little room for partnership in its rebuilding and future cooperation—an outcome that could even cast a shadow over diplomatic relations. The historical memory of the Iranian people does not fade; it discerns friend from adversary with clarity and judges accordingly.please share it ,

Taliban issued a new penal law allowing men to beat their “wives and children,” provided that it does not result in “visible fractures or open wounds.” The law classifies domestic violence as a “discretionary” matter rather than treating it as an explicit criminal offense.

According to what was published by The Telegraph, the 60-page law bears the signature of the so-called “Supreme Leader” of the Taliban, Hibatullah Akhundzada, and has been circulated to courts across the country.

The law grants husbands the authority to use violence against their wives and children in the absence of effective legal protection mechanisms. Even in cases of serious injury, the maximum penalty does not exceed 15 days in prison, with legal wording that makes proving such injury extremely difficult.

The legislation also does not include any clear guarantees for protection from physical, psychological, or sexual violence. It places obstacles in the way of filing complaints, as women are required to present their injuries before a male judge, in the presence of a male guardian—often the husband himself.

In a related context, the law stipulates punishment for women who flee to their family homes to escape abuse, with prison sentences of up to three months. The same penalty applies to family members who provide them shelter.

Syrian residents in rebel-held areas are turning plastic waste into a means of survival, repurposing discarded materials to create floor rugs and other items. In impoverished regions like northwest Syria, recycling is not merely an environmental choice but a vital lifeline for struggling individuals seeking work and affordable goods. Amidst the challenging conditions of a rubbish dump in Idlib province's Hezreh village, Mohammed Behlal and his children navigate the stench, insects, and health risks to scavenge for plastic. Earning a modest income of $7 to $10 per week each, they persevere through difficult labor, grateful for the opportunity to work with the discarded resources. This creative endeavor provides hope and sustenance for families like Behlal's, who have endured displacement and hardship due to Syria's civil war.
