The war may also short-circuit the tortuous existence of the archaic family-ruled kingdom.

The Rahbar, Imam Seyyed Ali Khamenei tells the visiting Turkish president Recep Tayip Erdogan to not exacerbate the crisis in Yemen and Syria by aiding the warmongers or the takfiris terrorists. Will Erdogan take heed? Time will tell but his past conduct does not give much hope. Still the Iranians were as gracious as ever in hosting the Turkish president.

US President Barack Obama has given a blunt message to the illegitimate Arabian rulers: your problems are internal--lack of representation, high unemployment and corruption--rather than any imaginary threat from Iran. The message can only add to the jitters of these frightened rulers.

What if you knew there has been only one calendar in the entire history of the world that correctly represents how time should be counted in units of days, months, and years?

நாட்கள், மாதங்கள், வருடங்கள் எனும் அலகுகளைக் கொண்டு காலத்தை எவ்வாறு மிகச்சரியாகக் கணக்கிடுவது என்பதைக் கூறுகின்ற நாட்காட்டி முறை உலக வரலாற்றிலேயே ஒன்றே ஒன்றுதான் இருந்திருக்கிறது என்பதை நீங்கள் அறிவீர்களா? அதைத் தவிர மனிதர்கள் இதுநாள்வரை பயன்படுத்தி வந்துள்ள மற்றெல்லா நாட்காட்டி முறைகளும் ஏதோவொரு வகையில் காலத்தைக் கூட்டுவதிலோ குறைப்பதிலோ ('இடைச் செருகல்’ - Intercalation என்றறியப்படும் நடைமுறையில்) ஈடுபட்டுள்ளன; அல்லது, போலிக் கடவுளரையும் அல்லாஹ்வின் சில படைப்புகளையும் வழிபடுவதாக அமைந்துள்ளன என்பதை நீங்கள் அறிவீர்களா?

A joint session of the Pakistani parliament has been called for Monday April 6 to consider the rising crisis in Yemen as a result of "Saudi" aggression. The Najdi Bedouins want the Pakistan army to be deployed to defend their southern border and perhaps also join in a possible Saudi land invasion of Yemen where the Houthis have made impressive gains.

Iran and the P5+1 group of countries have reached a framework agreement after marathon sessions over the last eight days. Drafting of the agreement with all its technical details will begin soon to complete the process by June 30. Once completed, all sanctions against Iran whether by the UN, US or EU will be lifted in return for Iran limiting its nuclear activities for 10 years.

The allegation about Iran building a bomb is utterly false. The US and its allies know it, so what is their real motive in exerting pressure on Iran? We look at the hidden reasons.
