Ушел из жизни бывший президент Ирана Рафсанджани

Как сообщают СМИ, в возрасте 82 лет умер бывший президент Ирана Али Акбар Хашеми Рафсанджани, доминирующая фигура в политике страны с 1980 года.

Г-н Рафсанджани был доставлен в больницу в воскресенье после сердечного приступа.

Он занимал пост президента Ирана с 1989 по 1997 год. В 2005 году, вступив в очередной раз в гонку за кресло, он уступил Махмуду Ахмадинежаду. Однако, г-н Рафсанджани оставался важной личностью в иранском политическом истеблишменте и до самой своей смерти возглавлял Совет целесообразности, который выступает в качестве связующего звена для разрешения споров между парламентом Ирана и Советом Стражей, который считается защитником ценностей иранской исламской революции.

US and Ukraine sign deal giving US access to country’s valuable mineral wealth

The United States and Ukraine have signed a minerals deal after a two-month delay, in what President Donald Trump's administration called a new form of US commitment to Kyiv after the end of military aid. Ukraine said it secured key interests after protracted negotiations, including full sovereignty over its own rare earths, which are vital for new technologies and largely untapped. Trump had initially demanded rights to Ukraine's mineral wealth as compensation for US weapons sent under former president Joe Biden after Russia invaded just over three years ago.
