here is a graph showing per capita steel production in Iran vs USA from 1980-2025. I show steel production because it is a fundamental component of a modern economy and is a "real", not monetary, statistic. In the days of the Shah, despite Iran being an extremely large oil exporter, Iran produced little to no steel. Since 1979 (when the Shah was deposed), Iran's per capita steel production has become greater than USA's per capita steel production. Which, during the same period, has declined by approximately 50%. This has taken place despite decades of US economic warfare against Iran, warfare that has now expanded into destruction or attempted destruction of Iranian steel plants that are important social capital of the Iranian people.

@Raheelk Dear Mr. Khursheed, we understand that the delay in departure can be inconvenient. However, the flight is about to depart now, as the pushback is done. Thank you for your patience.



As filmmakers blame soaring ticket prices and ad overload for dwindling audiences, Sanjeev Kumar Bijli, the PVR Inox executive director argues the real issue is content—not cost. Read the full interview by @suchin545 here. hollywoodreporterindia.com/features/inter…





Had the best amritsari kulcha ever. Not in India. But in toronto!!!

Congratulations, @ZohranKMamdani. What you’ve built goes far beyond New York City. You've captured the imagination of progressives everywhere with a blueprint for how we can win: with hope, with values, and with the belief that politics can be a force for good. We’re watching—and we’re inspired.


After watching four days of Test cricket across three broadcasters—Sky, Sony, and Jio Star—the gap in quality is glaring. Sky delivers a masterclass in cricket production. Sony holds its ground with solid, if not exceptional, coverage. But Jio Star, despite being the richest broadcaster and pouring over $9 billion into global cricket rights, continues to lag embarrassingly behind. Its production feels cheap, unimaginative, and nowhere near the standards set by Sky—or even Sony.
