Iran's former top diplomat Javad Zarif, who sparked a political frenzy with a leaked audio in April, is again at the center of the storm.Zarif, who served as the country’s foreign minister between 2013 and 2021, made a stunning disclosure in an online discussion Wednesday night, contradicting his previous statements.In response to a question on the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), Zarif said in the final draft of the nuclear deal signed between Iran and the world powers in July 2015, a significant addition was made at the last minute.He said the word "suspension" was added in four places in the annexes by Iran's negotiating team without informing him.Interestingly, Zarif had earlier told parliament that the word "suspension" was not mentioned in the JCPOA text when he was accused by lawmakers of "not reading the agreement.""I had said in parliament that there is no mention of the word ‘suspension’ in the JCPOA, and that was my fault," he said in the meeting held using the Clubhouse social media app which was attended by many members of the former reformist government.  » Read More

They are one of many new communities to emerge in the last few months who are aligning anti-vax ideology with prepping – the preparations survivalists undertake in the event of climate emergencies, disruptions to political or economic order or, in their case, when they feel they are forced by their government to take the vaccine. While preppers existed long before the coronavirus pandemic, empty shelves on supermarkets and lockdowns galvanised many to follow online prepping communities for tips.  » Read More
