Since 1979, females had been radically marginalized by the regime’s Islamist religious strictures, and now by the thousands they furiously tore off their hijabs, burned them publicly and chanted, “Women, Life, Freedom!” and “Death to the dictator!...

Speaking to a small group of journalists at Tehran’s diplomatic mission to the United Nations in New York on Sunday, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif presented his country’s plan for what he termed a “coalition for hope,” officially titled the “Hormuz Peace Endeavor.” Rouhani had introduced the concept himself earlier in the day, with Zarif later elaborating on its potential scope and purpose. “It’s about freedom of navigation, it’s about energy security, non-aggression, non-intrusion,” Zarif said, adding that it was Iran’s position that “the presence of foreign forces is not conducive to security” in the Persian Gulf, but keeping such forces out would not be a precondition for the coalition itself....

“Like ISIS, Like Hitler, Like Genghis! They all hate cultures. Trump is a ’terrorist in a suit,’” Iran’s Information and Communications Technology Minister Mohammad-Javad Azari Jahromi tweeted on Sunday. “He will learn history very soon that NOBODY can defeat ’the Great Iranian Nation & Culture,’” Jahromi added along with the hashtag “#HardRevenge.” Jahromi was responding to Trump’s threat to strike 52 sites—including some which are “important to Iran & Iranian culture”—if Iran retaliates for the killing of top military commander Qassem Soleimani in a U....

Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, who is leading the negotiations for the White House, put forward a $1.8 trillion compromise counteroffer on Friday—up from the $1 trillion originally offered but significantly less than the more than $3 trillion Democrats approved in May....

“(Davies) is fit now, he’s hit his markers,” Herdman said on Tuesday. “He’s ready to go. He’s flying in training camp yesterday, enjoying himself.” Davies has been dealing with an injury that has kept him out of action for the majority of November.

Fazalhaq Farooqi peppered an array of short balls at Suresh Raina, leaving the left-hander looking very uncomfortable. He tried to pull them towards the fine leg region with very little success. To MS Dhoni, Fazalhaq Farooqi bowled wide yorkers from around the wicket, which he executed pretty well. The CSK skipper tried to squeeze them towards the point region and picked up a couple of quick singles. Then, the bowler missed his mark and bowled a full toss which the wicket-keeper batsman smashed for a boundary....

Dinesh Karthik is a young veteran, or so it would seem for a man used to constantly living in wait for an elusive opportunity. Perhaps it is the sense of deprivation from living on the sidelines that spurs him towards those special performances. The man, who is perennially living under the towering shadow of MS Dhoni, turned the match on a dime to bring about the first 200+ score in the sixth season of the IPL....

It is important to note here that I have nothing against these ladies. In fact, I am slightly envious of the fact that they get the opportunity to roam around stadiums, talking to cricketers....

The most recent short-format league that concluded near the auction was the Abu Dhabi T10 League. A lot of big names like Yuvraj Singh, Shane Watson, Andre Russell, Zaheer Khan, Eoin Morgan took part in the tournament. The deadline for the trade window and retention lists coincided with this tourney and hence, the franchises would have observed how the released and retained cricketers played. While a bunch of retained players shone in the league, there were a few players whom the franchises dropped from their squads and they lit up the T10 League....

Lessons from the previous clash Against the best bowling attack in the tournament on a surface that wasn’t too kind to the batters, Delhi Daredevils were expected to struggle especially since they had a lot of flashy batsmen in their XI. But to our surprise, the likes of Prithvi Shaw and Shreyas Iyer came up with good performances initially before SRH fought back to restrict them to a decent score which they chased down....

Players playing in Match 21: Shubman Gill, KL Rahul, Deepak Hooda, Ravi Bishnoi and Varun Chakravarthy. Captain: KL Rahul. | Vice-Captain: Shubman Gill. Credits Remaining: 3. The wicket in Ahmedabad looks good for batting as well as for pace bowlers. I have three players from this match, and I’ll stick with my trend of making two regular and one uncapped transfer. However, the uncapped transfer will be for the MI-RR game, as I have only one player....
