Silvia Nuñez y Emilia Pezzati son diseñadoras industriales argentinas y crearon la Cooperativa de diseño hace 14 años. En esta entrevista nos cuentan de su experiencia al crecer profesionalmente en una cooperativa, donde los lazos de amistad y sororidad son arte y parte de su trabajo. Hablamos de la crisis económica Argentina del 2001, donde varias fábricas se convirtieron en cooperativas, y desde la Cooperativa de diseño pudieron acompañar estos procesos. Acompañar con diseño, claro. También hablamos del trabajo en colaboración con artesas Qom en la provincia del Chaco. Esto es en el Nordeste de Argentina. Hay 1100km de distancia del Chaco a Buenos Aires, para que se den una idea de las distancias. También hablamos de otro proyecto con comunidades andinaas trabajando la fibra de vicuña. Los episodios que me vienen a la mente con diseñadores cooperativistas son: La entrevista con Leticia Fernández que es el Ep. 655 ella cuenta cómo crear una cooperativa de diseño estratégico transforma la forma de tomar decisiones, repartir valor y trabajar en equipo, y reflexiona sobre la necesidad de resignificar la imagen del cooperativismo dentro del campo del diseño. En el episodio 105, Ricardo Amasté aborda el diseño desde una perspectiva cultural y cooperativa, entendiendo lo colectivo como una práctica política que construye imaginarios compartidos y procesos de transformación social a largo plazo. Adrià García i Mateu, desde Barcelona, en el  Ep. 79 vincula diseño y economía social y solidaria, poniendo el foco en la gobernanza compartida, los límites del modelo empresarial dominante y el diseño como herramienta para disputar formas de organización y poder. Y desde Argentina, en el episodio 167, Agustina Silombra y Gerardo Borrás, cuentan la experiencia de Maizal Coop, una cooperativa nacida en el movimiento de fábricas recuperadas en Argentina, y muestran cómo el diseño se aprende y se sostiene desde el trabajo colectivo y en red.Esta entrevista es parte de las listas: Colectivos y cooperativas de diseño, Argentina y diseño, Diseño industrial, Diseño gráfico y Territorio y diseño. Ellas nos recomiendan literatura: Una historia sencilla de Leyla GuerreiroChamanes eléctricos en la fiesta del sol de Monica Ojeda

Protestele desfăşurate de-a lungul timpului în Republica Islamică Iran au avut de multe ori în centru mişcări ale femeilor, care, încă de la începutul regimului, au ieşit pe străzi împotriva interdicţiilor impuse de autorităţi. Mişcarea „Femeie, Viaţă, Libertate”, născută la protestele declanşate de moartea, în custodia poliţiei moravurilor, a tinerei Mahsa Amini, în 2022, este doar una dintre cele mai recente asemenea mişcări. Două dintre activistele iraniene pentru drepturile omului au primit Premiu Nobel pentru Pace: Shirin Ebadi, în 2003, şi Narges Mohammadi, în 2023. Despre lupta, curajul şi rezistenţa femeilor iraniene, despre mişcările feministe din Republica Islamică Iran am vorbit cu Fatma Yilmaz, istoric. Astăzi, în Iranul aflat în război, cu conducerea decimată, asistăm mai degrabă la un recul al regimului și al represiunii sau la un moment de transformare? Fatma Yilmaz: „E foarte greu să spui exact ce se întîmplă cînd evenimentele sînt în desfășurare. Cu siguranță există un recul al regimului și nu începînd cu războiul acesta care este în desfășurare, ci începînd cu mult timp în urmă, poate chiar, aș îndrăzni să spun, undeva între 5 și 10 ani, dincolo de aparența asta de nezdruncinat a regimului teocrat de la Teheran. Și cred că principala falie unde au început aceste zdruncinări e legată de modul în care femeile și-au revendicat drepturile și-au adus la masa discuțiilor paleta mai largă legată de drepturile omului în Iran. Ele au fost primele care au adus asta în discuție.”Dincolo de proteste, care au fost înăbușite sîngeros, ce forme de rezistență există astăzi în Iran?Fatma Yilmaz: „Fără intenția de a hiperboliza sau de a aduce discuția într-o zonă patetică, e una dintre cele mai puternice rezistențe în fața unui regim sîngeros, dictatorial, teocratic. Și cred că e cea mai puternică rezistență a femeilor, nu numai prin numărul anilor, pentru că femeile au fost împotriva regimului de la Teheran încă de acum 47 de ani, cînd a avut loc Revoluția Islamică. Shirin Ebadi este una dintre femeile care au început această formă de rezistență care nu s-a terminat niciodată. Dincolo de proteste, de a scrie rapoarte, de a împrăștia vestea despre ce se întîmplă acolo, există o rezistență prin scris. În mod special poezia a devenit o formă de rezistență de-a lungul anilor, și nu întîmplător, pentru că poezia e mai pe placul iranienilor decît proza. E limbajul pe care îl poate înțelege un fin intelectual de la Teheran, Isfahan sau Qom, dar și un simplu țăran din cel mai îndepărtat sat al Iranului, pentru că știe versuri întregi. Alte forme de rezistență sînt legate de invadarea spațiului public în zona educației. Femeile au folosit armele regimului de la Teheran, îndreptîndu-le într-un mod subtil către ayatollahi, accesînd chiar și acele forme de educație pur religioasă, unde ele au transformat mai mult sau mai puțin pe ascuns școlile respective în locuri în care au citit literatură, orice fel de literatură, nu doar cea care li se dădea voie să o citească.”Ce reprezintă pentru Iranul de azi lupta femeilor iraniene pentru drepturi şi libertăţi?Fatma Yilmaz: „Cred că a devenit un fel de identitate de țară. Dacă mîine regimul de la Teheran nu va mai exista, oricîte bombe și oricîte forțe terestre ar intra în Iran de aici înainte, totuși, cele care au determinat căderea regimului de la Teheran sînt femeile. Şi ar fi un act de impietate să se minimalizeze lupta lor de zeci de ani.”Apasă PLAY pentru a asculta interviul integral! O emisiune de Adela Greceanu și Matei Martin Un produs Radio România Cultural 

Katika mjadala wa dharura kuhusu “shambulizi la anga dhidi ya Shule ya Wasichana ya Shajareh Tayyebeh huko Minab, nchini Iran, Baraza la Haki za binadamu la Umoja wa Mataifa limejadili tukio hilo kama ukiukwaji mkubwa wa sheria za kimataifa za kibinadamu na haki za binadamu.”Mjadala huu wa dharura unafanyika kufuatia tukio hilo lililotajwa kuwa la kutisha lililofanyika siku ya kwanza kabisa ya mashambulizi ya Israel na Marekani dhidi ya Iran. Simulizi ya mamaTuanze na simulizi ya Mohaddeseh Fallahat, huyu ni mama wa Iran aliyepoteza watoto wake wawili katika shambulizi hilo ambaye anasema “asubuhi ile ilikuwa kama kawaida.” Aliwafunga wanawe gidamu za viatu na kuwavalisha mabegi mgongoni na hakukuwa na dalili yoyote kwamba hiyo ingekuwa mara ya mwisho, kuonana nao.Anasema “Walipotoka mlangoni, waliniambia, ‘Mama, njoo utuchukue baada ya shule.' Sentensi hiyo rahisi sasa inajirudia akilini mwangu mara elfu moja, na kila mara moyo wangu unaungua kwa maumivu. Hakuna mama anayewahi kufikiria atampeleka mtoto wake shuleni kwa tabasamu, kisha akumbane na ukimya. Hakuna mama aliyejiandaa kusikia maneno haya: ‘Mtoto wako hatarudi tena.'” © Mshiriki Jengo moja katika eneo la mashariki mwa Tehran likionesha dalili za uharibifu uliosababishwa na mabomu.WaokoajiAkizungumza na waandishi wa habari huko Geneva akiwa Tehran kupitia mawasiliano ya satelaiti, Mkuu wa shirika la Msalaba mwekundu na Hilal nyekundu IFRC, Maria Martinez amesema zaidi ya watu 1,900 wameuawa, wakiwemo wanawake na watoto, na takriban watu 20,000 wamejeruhiwa.Martinez amesimulia masahibu yanayowakuta watoa huduma ya kwanza “Moja ya nyakati za kushtusha na kuvunja moyo ni pale mhudumu wa uokoaji na utafutaji alipogundua miili ya wafamilia yake mwenyewe chini ya vifusi vya jengo lililoshambuliwa.Katika mji wa Qom, kusini mwa Tehran, mhudumu mwingine aliokoa mwili wa shangazi yake pamoja na mume wake na mtoto wao mdogo.” Huo ndio uhalisia wanaokumbana nao wahudumu wa kibinadamu, wanaokoa maisha huku wakibeba maumivu makubwa yasiyovumilika ya kupoteza wapendwa wao.UN GenevaMjadala wa Baraza la Haki za Binadamu ukifanyika Geneva UswisiKauli ya UNTofauti zozote zilizopo kati ya nchi na nchi, sote tunaweza kukubaliana kuwa hazitatatuliwa kwa kuwaua wanafunzi.Akizungumza katika mjadala huo wa dharura, Kamishna Mkuu wa Haki za Binadamu wa Umoja wa Mataifa Volker Türk ametoa wito kwa mamlaka za kijeshi za Marekani kuchapisha haraka iwezekanavyo matokeo ya uchunguzi wao kuhusu shambulizi hilo. Türk amesema “Mashambulizi ya mabomu katika Shule ya Msingi ya Shajareh Tayyebeh huko Minab yameibua hofu kubwa na maumivu makali. Picha za madarasa yaliyoharibiwa na wazazi waliogubikwa na huzuni zinaonesha wazi ni nani hulipa gharama kubwa zaidi ya vita: raia wasio na uwezo wowote katika maamuzi yaliyopelekea mzozo. Katika tukio hili, inaripotiwa kuwa wanafunzi, walimu, wafanyakazi wa shule, na wapendwa wao 168 wameathirika.Maafisa waandamizi wa Marekani wamesema shambulizi hilo linafanyiwa uchunguzi. Natoa wito mchakato huo ukamilike haraka iwezekanavyo, na matokeo yake yawekwe wazi kwa umma. Lazima kuwe na haki kwa madhara makubwa yaliyosababishwa.”

TUTAMÉIA entrevista a professor Salman, mestre em ciência política, que fala direto de Qom, principal centro de formação xiita do Irã.

Hoe omzichtig het kabinet ook strooit met ontwijkend taalgebruik, het is duidelijk dat Nederland met het inzetten van het fregat Zr. Ms. Evertsen deelneemt aan de Amerikaan-Israëlische oorlog tegen Iran. Want hoe je het ook wendt of keert, het beschermen van Cyprus tegen aanvallen van Iran of zijn proxy’s is een defensieve toevoeging aan de Amerikaans-Israëlische kant van de oorlog. En het is de vraag of die oorlog legaal is volgens het internationaal recht. Formeel beantwoordt Nederland de wens van Frankrijk om de begeleidende gevechtsgroep rondom het vliegdekschip Charles de Gaulle te versterken bij de bescherming van Cyprus. Hoewel ook president Macron de verdediging van Cyprus essentieel noemt, gaat de Franse ‘mozaïek-strategie’ veel verder. Er ligt een fregat in de Golf van Oman, twee fregatten in de Rode Zee, 16 gevechtshelikopters nabij en er zijn nog eens acht fregatten en twee amfibie-helikopters onderweg naar de Straat van Hormuz. Macron distantieert zich weliswaar van het dreigement van Trump dat Amerika ‘twintig keer harder’ dan nu zal toeslaan als de Straat van Hormuz niet door Iran wordt vrijgegeven, maar zijn doel is hetzelfde. En ook hij probeert het voor te doen alsof dat alles geen onderdeel is van de oorlog. Maar ook in zijn geval geldt dat defensieve steun in de strijd tegen Iran feitelijk hetzelfde is als gezamenlijk optrekken tegen Iran. De vergelijking gaat een beetje mank, maar het doet denken aan de Tweede Wereldoorlog, toen de Sovjets oprukten vanuit het oosten, en de geallieerden vanuit het westen. Er was, tot vlak voor de Duitse capitulatie, opmerkelijk weinig contact tussen de fronten. Maar het was wel dezelfde oorlog. Gelukkig heeft het kabinet aan de missie van het Nederlandse fregat een eindtijd verbonden. In april is dit avontuur voorbij, al wordt een vervolgmissie niet helemaal uitgesloten. Nederland heeft dus een exit-strategie. Die hebben de Fransen niet en – veel bedenkelijker – de Amerikanen evenmin. Trump is daar, nu de economie het gevaar loopt in te storten en zijn kiezers hem dreigen te ontvallen, driftig naar op zoek, getuige zijn warrige verhaal van maandag, toen hij binnen twee uur tijd het einde van de oorlog, de voortzetting en zelfs opvoering van de oorlog, en vervolgens het einde van de oorlog op termijn aankondigde. Hoe zat het ook alweer met het lijden van het Iraanse volk? Waren we daar niet erg mee begaan? Het verdedigen van de vijanden van Iran is misschien heel nobel, maar wat heeft een onderdrukte burger van Qom of Teheran aan dat Nederlandse fregat?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

pWotD Episode 3233: Mojtaba Khamenei Welcome to popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today.With 518,042 views on Monday, 9 March 2026 our article of the day is Mojtaba Khamenei.Mojtaba Hosseini Khamenei (born 8 September 1969) is an Iranian politician and Shia cleric who has been the third supreme leader of Iran since 8 March 2026. He is a member of the Khamenei family and the second son of the second supreme leader Ali Khamenei.Born in Mashhad, a city in northeastern Iran, into the Azeri–Persian Khamenei family, he was nine when his father emerged as a leading figure in the Iranian Revolution. He received early education in Sardasht and Mahabad, and graduated high school from Tehran, after which he studied Islamic theology under the guidance of his father and Mahmoud Hashemi Shahroudi. He joined the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) in 1987 and served in the Iran–Iraq War. In 1999, he continued his studies in Qom to become a cleric, and joined the Qom Seminary as a theological teacher afterwards. He took control of the Basij paramilitary volunteer militia in 2009.Following the assassination of his father in the 2026 Iran war, Mojtaba was elected as his successor by Iran's Assembly of Experts. He has previously been sanctioned by the United States Department of the Treasury in 2019 as part of their policy of sanctioning individuals linked to Ali Khamenei.In political ideology and jurisprudence, he is considered to be among the most hardline of the Iranian principlists, and has close ties to some of the "most ideologically extremist clerics" per a report from Atlantic Council. Analysts have generally seen him as more favorable to developing an Iranian nuclear weapons program than his father, supporting a reinterpretation of Ali Khamenei's fatwa against nuclear weapons.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 03:23 UTC on Tuesday, 10 March 2026.For the full current version of the article, see Mojtaba Khamenei on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Kendra.

Israel has launched a new wave of intense airstrikes on Iran and Hezbollah targets in Lebanon. Israeli forces say they targeted key infrastructure linked to the Iranian government, including a missile launcher in Qom and an air defense system in Isfahan. The IDF is also heavily targeting the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and the Basij militia, Iran's volunteer paramilitary force, who were both behind the violent, bloody crackdown on protesters in January. FOX's Jonathan Savage speaks with Trey Yingst, chief foreign correspondent for the FOX News Channel, reporting from Tel Aviv, Israel, who says operations to destroy Iranian missile capabilities are a major focus now.

pWotD Episode 3225: 2026 Iran war Welcome to popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today.With 1,060,165 views on Sunday, 1 March 2026 our article of the day is 2026 Iran war.Beginning on 28 February 2026, Israel and the United States engaged in coordinated joint attacks on various sites in Iran. Codenamed Operation Roaring Lion by Israel and Operation Epic Fury by the United States, the attacks have targeted key Iranian officials, military commanders, and facilities. Iran's response has been named Operation True Promise IV.The operation began with joint strikes by Israel and the US in the cities of Tehran, Isfahan, Qom, Karaj, and Kermanshah. The attacks included the assassination of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, whose compound was destroyed; Ali Shamkhani, former secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council; and several other Iranian officials. In retaliation, Iran launched dozens of its drones and ballistic missiles throughout the Persian Gulf at targets in Israel and US military bases in Jordan, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates. Iran launched strikes on civilian airports and shipping ports in Kuwait, the UAE, and Oman. Britain's Akrotiri and Dhekelia military base in Cyprus was struck. Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz, disrupting global oil and gas shipments. Hezbollah in Lebanon joined the war after the killing of Khamenei.US officials, including President Donald Trump, have offered various and shifting reasons for launching the war on Iran, including to ward off an imminent threat, destroy missile and military capabilities, prevent it from obtaining nuclear weapons, and ultimately to achieve regime change by bringing the Iranian opposition to power. Iran rejected US claims that it was preparing an attack. After the strikes, the International Atomic Energy Agency said that Iran does not have a nuclear weapons program. The United Nations and several uninvolved countries condemned the initial strikes for undermining the stability of the Middle East; others condemned Iran's retaliatory strikes on US allies in the region. Critics of the operation described it as illegal under US law, an act of imperialism, and a violation of Iran's sovereignty under international law.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 16:02 UTC on Thursday, 5 March 2026.For the full current version of the article, see 2026 Iran war on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm generative Stephen.

Subscribe here to Inside Call me Back ------- Please take 5 minutes to fill out Ark Media's LISTENER SURVEY ____ Was America dragged into the Iran war by Israel, as some commentators seem to suggest? An out-of-context statement by State Secretary Marco Rubio seems to give credence to the conspiratorial accusation that America is fighting Israel's war in Iran. Dan is joined by Nadav Eyal and Mark Dubowitz to discuss the truth behind these claims, the delicate politics behind the decision to launch the war, and how it all plays out in American public discourse. They also cover the possible succession of Iran's Supreme Leader, the campaign against Iran's nuclear and missile capabilities, and the broader strategy shaping the conflict—along with what outcomes Israel and the U.S. would ultimately consider a victory. In this episode: - Strike in Qom and the disruption of Iran's leadership succession - The possible rise of Mojtaba Khamenei - What the past 72 hours reveal about the military campaign - Why Qom matters inside the Islamic Republic - The emerging strategy to pressure the regime internally - The debate in the U.S. over how the war began - Iran's strategy for surviving the conflict - What Israel and the U.S. would consider a victory More Ark Media: Want to join Ark Media?

The US/Israeli war on Iran could easily spark a greater regional conflict if it continues. Donald Trump at first said Tehran would be taken in 3-4 days, then a day later claimed the war would last no more than 4-5 weeks and threatened that the US has enough weapons to fight “forever.” Already, the bombing has killed 787 people, including 180 at a girls' school in Minab on Saturday as Operation Epic Fury began. Iran is responding in self-defense with attacks on important regional bases and centers in Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, the UAE and Israel after the bombings killed the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. An Israeli strike on Tuesday then bombed the Council of Experts in the holy city of Qom as they began deliberations on appointing a new leader. The White House has outlined its goals for the war, including the complete elimination of the Iranian government - a regime change operation.On the killing of Khamenei, Trump told ABC News “I got him before he got me,” suggesting a paranoia around supposed Iranian threats to him.The US/Israeli attacks and the Trump administration's frantic and sometimes contradictory messaging might seem out of the ordinary, but deeper analysis shows that this war is not uniquely Trump's. It's an unprovoked, imperialist war of aggression like so many others that the US has launched on the people of the Middle East and beyond in its quest for complete domination of the world. It's the latest in a long series of US interventions in Iran, starting with the 1953 US/British coup that overthrew the secular, nationalist government of Mohammad Mosaddegh and continuing through this past summer and today.This war is also not a war that the US can win. Will imperial hubris land the region in another deadly, expensive “forever war?”Support the show

Are we in World War 3… right now? U.S. B-1 bombers striking Iranian underground facilities. Israel targeting leadership infrastructure in Qom. Iran threatening a long war and tightening control over the Strait of Hormuz. Oil tankers stranded. Missiles flying. Proxies activating. This is no longer theoretical escalation. Today we're stepping back from the noise to ask the serious question: Is this a regional conflict or the early stage of something far bigger?

Patrick answers questions about the soul after death, clarifies the Catholic teaching on the Assumption, and offers guidance for handling friendships with compassion and boundaries. He comments on breaking news from Iran, discusses thoughts about Prince and Tom Petty, and shares practical advice about taxes, indulgences, and trustworthy Bible apps for families. Mark (email) - If we can recognize each other when we are disembodied, does that mean we are actually instilled with some other supernatural "sense" upon death? (00:33) Manuel (email) - Regarding the emails (from the first hour), I understood that it’s not so much about the young man wanting to find the right young lady, it was more that you belittled women who have a sexual past, before marriage, through your comments. (04:19) Carmen (email) - Speaking of virginity being considered an abnormal and shunned way of living one's life… (06:15) Purple (email) - Since you believe that Jesus was assumed into heaven, can you please show me in the Bible where it says that "they all looked up and watched as Mary was taken up into heaven..." (07:48) Audio: Prince on the importance of playing the guitar (12:46) Dan - For people who don't want to pay taxes, just donate a bunch of money. If you donate $50,000, your taxes could be nearly paying zero. (14:05) The Assembly of Experts were all assembled in Qom to vote on the next ‘Supreme Leader’. And Israel just bombed them all. (18:39) Vivian - How can I forgive my friend who said very hurtful things to me. (20:30) Jose - You said that your dad was not a cussing person, and I know what he meant by that. (27:32) Elizabeth - Can we do something besides going to pilgrimage sites for the Jubilee Year of St. Francis? (30:00) Lauren (email) - I grew up Protestant and had an abortion when I was young and it absolutely weighs heavy on my heart especially as I’ve been going through my OCIA classes because I now realize I was putting myself before God, so it will be the very first thing I take to confession prior to my confirmation and first Eucharist. My question is, should I also tell my cradle Catholic spouse? (35:56) Jim - Is polygamy a sin? (38:55) Jen - Can you recommend a good Catholic Bible App for my teenage son? (40:51)

Israel bombed Iran's Assembly of Experts compound in the holy city of Qom today while its members were voting to elect the country's next supreme leader. In Beirut, the Israeli air force is striking Hezbollah targets as their forces seize ground in Southern Lebanon. And in Saudi Arabia, the US warns there is a threat of imminent attacks, after its embassy was struck by suspected Iranian drones. To discuss all this we turn to former CIA Director David Petraeus.  Also on today's show: Amos Harel, Defense Analyst, Haaretz; Chrystia Freeland, Economic Advisor to President Zelensky / Former Canadian Deputy PM and Foreign Minister  Learn more about your ad choices.

In a stunning escalation, Israeli and U.S. strikes have wiped out Iran's leadership core: The Assembly of Experts building in Qom was flattened during a meeting to select a successor to slain Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, crippling the regime's succession process and eliminating key figures in the clerical hierarchy. Meanwhile, President Trump threatened to impose a full trade embargo on Spain after Madrid refused U.S. access to joint military bases for Iran operations, prioritizing America First by refusing to tolerate uncooperative allies amid the conflict. This episode breaks down the dramatic strikes that decimated Iran's theocratic power structure, the fallout from Trump's tough stance on Spain, and what "Country First" means for U.S. foreign policy and global stability.

A dramatic escalation in the Iran‑Israel conflict unfolded this morning as an Israeli airstrike obliterated a high‑level gathering of Iran’s top clerical leaders in Qom, flattening the building where the Assembly of Experts was reportedly counting votes to choose a successor to the late Ayatollah Khamenei. The attack, part of a broader surge in Israeli and U.S. strikes across Iran, comes amid rising regional chaos and intensifying retaliatory threats.

El asesinato del líder supremo de Irán, Alí Jamenei, a manos de una operación conjunta de Estados Unidos e Israel ha sacudido los cimientos de Oriente Próximo y abierto una nueva era de incertidumbre global. En pocas horas, el mundo ha cambiado: los bombardeos sobre Teherán, Qom y otras ciudades iraníes han descabezado al régimen de los ayatolás, desatado una respuesta militar iraní sin precedentes y disparado el precio de los hidrocarburos en todo el planeta. ¿Resistirá la República Islámica? ¿Cuáles son los cálculos de Trump y Netanyahu detrás de esta operación? ¿Nos encaminamos hacia una guerra regional? Hoy en "No es el fin del mundo" hablamos de los ataques de Estados Unidos e Israel a Irán y el asesinato de Alí Jamenei.

pWotD Episode 3224: Ali Khamenei Welcome to popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today.With 2,738,521 views on Saturday, 28 February 2026 our article of the day is Ali Khamenei.Ali Hosseini Khamenei (19 April 1939 – 28 February 2026) was an Iranian cleric and politician who served as the supreme leader of Iran from 1989 until his killing by US and Israeli forces in 2026. Khamenei previously served as the president of Iran from 1981 to 1989. His tenure as supreme leader, spanning 36 years and six months, made him the longest-serving head of state in the Middle East at the time of his death and the longest-serving Iranian leader since Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi.Born into the Khamenei family, he studied at a hawza in his hometown of Mashhad, later settling in Qom in 1958, where he attended the classes of Ruhollah Khomeini. Khamenei became involved in opposition to Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the Shah of Iran, and was arrested six times before being exiled for three years by the Shah's regime. Khamenei was a mainstream figure in the 1978–1979 Iranian Revolution, and upon its success, held many posts in the newly established Islamic Republic of Iran. In the aftermath of the revolution, he was the target of an attempted assassination that paralysed his right arm. There had been continued assassination threats against Khamenei by Israel. Khamenei served as the third president of Iran from 1981 to 1989 during the Iran–Iraq War, when he also developed close ties to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). After the death of Khomeini in 1989, Khamenei was elected supreme leader by the Assembly of Experts.As supreme leader, Khamenei supported Iran's nuclear program for civilian use while issuing a fatwa forbidding the production of weapons of mass destruction. Khamenei favoured economic privatization of state-owned industries and, with oil and gas reserves, transformed Iran into an "energy superpower". His foreign policy centered on Shia Islamism and exporting the Iranian Revolution. Khamenei played a pivotal role in the development of the IRGC, transforming it into a primary tool for domestic control and regional influence. Under Khamenei, Iran supported the "Axis of Resistance" coalition in the Syrian civil war, War in Iraq, Yemeni civil war and the Gaza war, as well as Russia during the Russo-Ukrainian war. A staunch critic of Israel and of Zionism, Khamenei supported the Palestinians in the Israeli–Palestinian conflict; his rhetoric included calls for Israel's destruction and antisemitic tropes. Under Khamenei, Iran was involved in proxy wars with Israel and Saudi Arabia; in 2025 and 2026, tensions with Israel and the United States escalated to a 12-day armed conflict and ongoing strikes.Identified as a pragmatic hardliner, Khamenei sidelined leftist factions, moderate clerics, and political dissidents, while occasionally easing restrictions when the regime's stability or legitimacy had been threatened. His leadership had been closely associated with the expansion of state militarization and the consolidation of power within the office of the Supreme Leader. Khamenei had also faced many protests, including the 1999 Iranian student protests, the 2009 Iranian presidential election protests, the 2011–2012 Iranian protests, the 2017–2018 Iranian protests, the 2018–2019 Iranian general strikes and protests, the 2019–2020 Iranian protests, the Mahsa Amini protests, and the 2025–2026 Iranian protests. Journalists, bloggers and other individuals were put on trial in Iran for the charges of insulting Supreme Leader Khamenei, often in conjunction with blasphemy charges. Their sentences included lashing and jail time; some of them died in custody. He was also known by the title Ayatollah and was considered one of the leading Shia Muslim marja' in the world. Khamenei's critics viewed him as a repressive despot responsible for repression, mass murders and other acts of injustice.On 28 February 2026, Khamenei was killed in an airstrike during the 2026 Israeli–United States strikes on Iran.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 07:29 UTC on Sunday, 1 March 2026.For the full current version of the article, see Ali Khamenei on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm generative Salli.

C dans l'air du 28 février 2026 - L'Amérique et Israël frappent l'IranÉdition spéciale suite à l'attaque des Etats-Unis et d'Israël contre l'Iran. l'émission est plus longue et elle est suivie d'un 2nd épisode intitulé: "Édition spéciale: Frappes en Iran, où est Khamenei?".L'Iran ciblé par Israël et les États-Unis. Alors que l'État hébreu a annoncé lancer une « frappe préventive », Donald Trump a déclaré que les États-Unis avaient mené des « opérations de combat majeures » contre l'Iran dans une vidéo postée sur son réseau Truth Social, ce samedi 28 février. Washington a baptisé l'offensive « Operation Epic Fury » (Fureur épique), tandis qu'Israël parle du « Rugissement du Lion ». Ce samedi matin, des explosions ont été entendues dans la capitale Téhéran, ainsi que dans plusieurs villes iraniennes, notamment dans la grande ville d'Ispahan et la ville sainte de Qom, au centre du pays, à Karaj, ville se trouvant à l'ouest de Téhéran, ainsi qu'à Kermanshah, à l'ouest de l'Iran. Cette offensive a déjà fait des victimes. Au moins 51 personnes ont été tuées lors d'une frappe contre une école de filles dans le sud de l'Iran, rapporte Ali Farhadi, un porte-parole du ministère de l'Éducation iranien, cité par l'agence de presse d'État IRNA. L'objectif affiché par Donald Trump est de « défendre le peuple américain » en « éliminant les menaces imminentes posées par le régime iranien », citant le fait que l'Iran a « rejeté toutes les occasions de renoncer à ses ambitions nucléaires ». Le président des États-Unis s'est également adressé au « peuple iranien, grand et fier ». « Je dis ce soir que l'heure de votre liberté est venue », a-t-il affirmé. Donald Trump a aussi appelé les membres des Gardiens de la révolution, des forces armées et de la police à « déposer les armes ». De son côté, l'Iran a riposté en lançant des missiles et des drones non seulement vers Israël, mais aussi contre des pays du Golfe abritant des forces américaines. Les Gardiens de la révolution auraient frappé le quartier général de la 5e flotte américaine à Bahreïn, ainsi que d'autres bases américaines au Qatar et aux Émirats arabes unis. Bahreïn a confirmé qu'un site de la marine américaine avait été touché. Pour quelles raisons Donald Trump a-t-il attaqué l'Iran ? Quel est le risque d'escalade après les frappes américano-israéliennes ciblant le pays ? Peut-on craindre une régionalisation du conflit ?Experts :- Lucas MENGET - Grand reporter, spécialiste des relations internationales - Frédéric ENCEL - Docteur en géopolitique, enseignant à Sciences Po Paris et à la Paris business school PSB - Patricia ALLEMONIERE - Grand reporter, auteure de "Au coeur du chaos", publié aux éditions Arthaud - Général François CHAUVANCY - Général, rédacteur en chef de la revue Défense de l'Union-IHEDN, l'Institut des hautes études de défense nationale - Eleonore WEIL (en direct depuis Tel Aviv) - Journaliste indépendante - Romuald SCIORA (en direct depuis New York) - Chercheur associé et directeur de l'Observatoire politique et géostratégique des Etats-Unis de l'IRIS

What does Islam, particularly Shīʿī Islam, really say about same-sex sexual relations? Can Islamic legal frameworks, rooted in centuries of jurisprudence, ever be used to imagine the possibility of an Islamically valid same-sex marriage? What terms and categories did pre-modern Islamic sources use to describe what we might now call “homosexuality,” and what is meant by the claim that “homosexuality,” as a form of identity, is a modern concept? Is the story of Lot in the Qur'an really about homosexuality? And crucially, what Islamic perspectives exist in response to the deeply homophobic statement “Navigating Differences: Clarifying Sexual and Gender Ethics in Islam,” published in May 2023 and endorsed by those who argue that Islam categorically rejects same-sex sexual relationships? In Negotiating Homosexuality in Islam: A Legal-hermeneutical Examination of Modern Shīʿī Discourse (Brill, 2024), Mehrdad Alipour engages these urgent questions with intellectual rigor and legal precision. Alipour is a scholar of Iranian and Islamic studies whose work focuses on Islamic legal theory, Shi‘i thought, and the evolving discourse around sex, gender, and sexuality in both premodern and modern contexts. He earned his PhD in Arabic and Islamic Studies from the University of Exeter and received traditional training at the Seminary of Qom in Iran. He is currently based at the University of Utrecht in the Netherlands, where he leads the project Beyond Binaries: Intersex in Islamic Legal Tradition, exploring how intersex identities have been understood in Shi‘i legal texts from the 14th to early 20th centuries. Another publication of his, “Navigating Body Politics in Shiʿi Legal Tradition: Examining Sayyid Kāẓim al-Yazdī's Account of Non-Binary Intersex,” is available online for free to all readers. Rather than offering a theological verdict or issuing new rulings in the book, Alipour turns to the internal tools of the Imāmī Shīʿī legal tradition—most notably, the method of ijtihād—to explore how scholars have historically interpreted and might yet reinterpret questions regarding sexual relations. Through a careful and brilliant analysis of Qur'anic verses, hadith traditions, legal principles, and rational argument, Alipour shows how the Shīʿī legal tradition contains interpretive possibilities that could speak to contemporary understandings of homosexuality as a consensual, identity-based, and egalitarian practice. As Alipour clarifies in our conversation, his study does not attempt to declare what Islamic law must say about same-sex relations, but rather to identify and expand the discursive spaces within which such a conversation can meaningfully take place. By using the very legal principles and interpretive strategies that have shaped Shīʿī jurisprudence across generations, he invites scholars and jurists to consider how Islamic legal thought might respond, faithfully and creatively, to modern realities. The book is a thoughtful and necessary contribution to ongoing debates on Islam, law, and sexual diversity. In our conversation today, Alipour walks us through the book's key arguments and findings, highlights the significance of applying modern Imāmī ijtihādic principles to the question of same-sex relations, and outlines how core Islamic sources—the Qur'an, sunnah, reason (ʿaql), and consensus (ijmāʿ)—have been interpreted in relation to same-sex intimacy, with special attention to specific gaps in the story of Lot in the Qur'an. He also clarifies key premodern terms that are often cited by contemporary Muslim scholars as referring to homosexuality, unpacking their historical meanings and legal contexts.
