🚨🇮🇷Who is senior cleric Ayatollah Alireza Arafi: Iran's interim supreme leader
Ayatollah Alireza Arafi has been appointed as the jurist member of the temporary leadership council responsible for carrying out the Supreme Leader’s duties during the transition period until a successor is chosen under Iran’s constitutional process.
📰 Childhood & early education

▪️From a young age, he entered the traditional hawza seminary system, immersing himself in advanced Shiite jurisprudence and theology.
▪️Growing up in Qom, the epicenter of Iran’s clerical power, positioned him within the core networks that shape the Islamic Republic’s ideological foundations.

⚖️ Interim leadership role & political significance

As the days shorten, we spend more time under artificial light. Yet most people choose their lighting without considering what it means for their health.
Here I explore the forgotten research on natural and artificial light, why the differences extend far beyond vitamin D, and what deserves a closer look in your own home:

🇺🇸🇳🇱🇦🇿🇦🇪 — A new book alleges that Dutch intelligence hacked the phone of Jared Kushner, U.S. President Trump's son-in-law, and monitored him accessing a Dubai bank account holding hundreds of millions of dollars transferred from a bank in Azerbaijan.
The claim comes from an excerpt of 'Princes and Thieves', a book by investigative journalist Matthew Cole about Kushner and Emirati President Mohamed bin Zayed.
Cole says a source he considered reliable told him in spring 2020 that Kushner appeared to transfer large sums from the account to other individuals, including a warlord, a mercenary, and a former hitman.
The excerpt's headline says the transfers totaled more than $700 million and that the bank accounts linked Kushner and former senior adviser to Israel, the UAE, and Saudi Arabia.
