Some super memorable tunes were mentioned, but The Jeffersons theme song quickly moved on up to the top spot for dozens of Twitter users in the conversation. The conversation was started by Christopher Gates who inquired about TV fans’ longstanding favorites on Tuesday. Gates requested commenters not stick with the well-known Friends theme song, and inspired more creative results. The Jeffersons, which aired from 1975 to 1985, made their way into his comments quickly and seemed agreed upon by many....

Srikar is a right-handed batter who also keeps wickets and is likely to don the gloves for the Bangalore-based franchise against the Knight Riders. He made his T20 debut for Andhra in 2013 against Tamil Nadu at the Vishvesharayya Iron and Steel Limited Ground in Bhadravati. Bharat opened the innings and scored 15 runs off 21 balls at a strike rate of 71.42. The knock included a couple of boundaries....

PBKS are coming off a morale-boosting nine-wicket victory over Mumbai Indians (MI) in their last game. KKR, meanwhile, have endured a tough start to their campaign, losing four games on the trot after winning their opener. In their last outing, KKR endured a humbling against the Rajasthan Royals (RR) at the Wankhede Stadium on Saturday. PBKS, who bowled well against MI on a sluggish surface, will fancy their chances in Ahmedabad, which is likely to offer similar tracks....

In the IPL, Mumbai Indians leads Chennai Super kings 7-6 in the 13 matches played between the two teams since 2008. Mumbai Indians are the only IPL team against whom MS Dhoni has less than a 50 percent win percentage as captain of the Chennai Super Kings. Harbhajan Singh’s best bowling effort in Twenty20 cricket – 5 for 18 – was against the Chennai Super Kings. Sachin Tendulkar is the top scorer in the matches played between the two sides, with 353 runs at an average of 44....

With just five days to go before the deadline ends, transfers propositions which were put on hold might be tried out and teams may enter into negotiations. While only three teams (Mumbai Indians, Delhi Capitals and Kings XI Punjab) have been active during the trade window, expect the other teams to try their hand at signing a few players before the final day. In the last season, the Chennai Super Kings shed off all the criticism surrounding their team selection to go all the way till the summit clash, but were unable to cross the final hurdle....

Mumbai Indians vs Chennai Super Kings Transfers made – 2; Transfers remaining – 64 Sanju Samson out – Brendon McCullum in Steven Smith out – Suresh Raina in Pravin Tambe out – J Suchitch in Captain – Suresh Raina With Rohit Sharma and Corey Anderson already in, I don’t really see the need for any other Mumbai Indians player in my team. While Kieron Pollard could easily blast his way to yet another half-century, I pin my hopes on him not getting enough deliveries to produce an impact performance for a couple of reasons:...

IRNA first referred to Tuesday’s incident as a cyberattack and reported it saw people trying to purchase fuel with government-issued cards at gas machines getting a message that read: “cyberattack 64411.” However, ISNA removed those reports later and said that it had also been hacked. IRNA’s reported the hack of its own services came after the Associated Press reported it still saw long lines at multiple gas stations in Tehran, including one station that had 90 cars waiting to pull up to the pumps....

The ship is now anchored in the Gulf of Oman, the Associated Press reported, but no information about its crew is known. Newsweek previously reported that the tanker’s crew was not injured in the October 24 seizure. However, according to a spokesperson for the Iranian United Nations mission, the ship did not leave the port with its original batch of oil. “Sothys left Iranian waters last night after transferring the oil,” spokesperson Shahrokh Nazemi told AP....

Over 50,000 Iranians have died from the coronavirus according to the official count. The real number could be double or triple this figure, according to a senior Health Ministry official and investigations carried out by BBC Persian. Iran’s frontline healthcare workers have been devastated, many of its hospitals are overflowing, and its economy, already squeezed by U.S. sanctions, has been under unprecedented strain. It is no surprise, then, that many Iranians, desperate for better days on the horizon, are beyond outraged that their own government would obstruct the procurement of sorely needed vaccines....

Harirchi’s video on Tuesday comes just one day after he stood at a press conference to talk about how the virus is being handled in Iran....

Iran’s SCO entry comes as the Institute for Science and International Security, a leading nonproliferation think tank, reported that due to its aggressive nuclear enrichment of recent months, the Islamic Republic now has enough enriched nuclear fuel to produce a single nuclear weapon within no more than about a month—if it chooses to do so. Iran’s entry also comes amid mounting evidence that it continues to impose roadblocks to international monitoring of its nuclear activities....

The expiration of the decade-old U.N. restrictions, set to take place Sunday, would come after a largely unsuccessful U.S. campaign to convince countries to defy the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) and the accompanying U.N. Security Council resolution 2231 to extend the ban on Iran’s arms industry. With Washington’s calls to the U.N. left unheeded, Iran’s permanent mission to the international body said the lack of support for the U....

Speaking with Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega by phone on Wednesday, Raisi urged his counterpart to resist U.S. sanctions in the same way Tehran has done since May 2018, when former President Donald Trump withdrew from the JCPOA and embarked on his “maximum pressure” campaign against Iran. “We are certain that Nicaragua too can overcome the U.S.’s threats and sanctions since today the U.S. is in decline, and is growing weaker day by day,” Raisi told Ortega, according to a readout published by Iran’s state-owned PressTV....

President Donald Trump withdrew last May from the landmark international treaty, which was signed by the Obama administration, Iran, the European Union, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, Russia and China. A year later, in May of this year, Iran announced it would begin stepping back from its commitments under the agreement after signatories failed to adequately counter the sanctions reimposed by the U.S. “Today, we made operational a chain of 30 advanced IR6 centrifuge machines,” Ali Akbar Salehi, the head of Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization, explained on Monday, the Tehran Times reported....

Protests have spanned Iran in the last two months after the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini, a Kurdish woman who was arrested by Iran’s morality police and accused of improperly wearing a hijab, or headscarf. Amini allegedly was severely beaten while in custody and later died from a fatal head injury. Iranian authorities have not taken responsibility for her death. Since protests started, thousands of demonstrators have been arrested. Many protesters are Iranian university students and women protesting by burning their hijabs and cutting their hair in public....
