But since Iranian authorities shut down Internet access at the start of the war two months ago, growers have been cut off from their usual clients in Europe and China.
That has meant a windfall for Afghan saffron dealers, who have been buying up supplies from across the border in Iran, often in under-the-table deals.

For years, Russians in Mali have played a central role in supporting the country’s military junta, helping it retake territory and expand control across parts of the Sahel. But recent events raise serious questions about Russia’s strategy in Africa.
Why did the Africa Corps leave so quickly? What did they abandon behind? And what does this mean for Russia’s growing influence in the region?

These interceptor units are at the heart of modern drone warfare — operating under constant pressure near Kramatorsk, just 15 kilometers from the front line, tasked with taking down Russian strike and reconnaissance UAVs before they reach the city. In one month alone, this team logged 87 successful hits against incoming military drones, KAB glide bombs, and Shaheds.
This is what drone war looks like up close — the radar alerts, the launches, the direct hits, and the ones that get away. Front line fighting documented from one of the most contested sectors in eastern Ukraine.

Iran's oil exports are being affected but millions of gallons are also still being sold in Asia, one expert says. Many Iranian vessels are also reportedly getting around the blockade, another points out. And Iran is still insisting that the blockade be lifted as a precondition for cease-fire talks.

In this powerful interview, a Chernobyl survivor returns to the abandoned city of Pripyat — now part of the Chernobyl exclusion zone — to revisit the home she was forced to flee in 1986.
Like thousands of other Pripyat residents, she was evacuated with almost no warning during the chaotic Pripyat evacuation, believing she would return in just a few days.
She never did.
Today, her story reflects the long shadow of the disaster — from loss and displacement to illness, including cancer, faced by many Chernobyl victims and Chernobyl survivors today.
