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.

Luhansk the first Ukrainian region fully occupied by Russia

A Russia-appointed official in Ukraine’s occupied Luhansk region was quoted by AP on Monday saying that Moscow’s forces have overrun all of it, one of four regions Russia annexed from Ukraine in September 2022. If confirmed, it would make Luhansk the first Ukrainian region fully occupied by Russia after more than three years of war with international peace efforts led by the US failing to make progress on halting the fighting. Russian President Vladimir Putin has effectively rejected a ceasefire and hasn’t budged from his demands, which include Moscow’s control over the four illegally annexed regions.
