This country to overthrow Khamenei? Iran's exiled former prince holds back-to-back meetings, the country is..., not Saudi Arabia, Qatar
Iran's troubles just do not seem to end and this time, it is not the usual rivals like the US or Israel causing concern. Instead, it is the powerful country where Iran's exiled former prince, Reza Pahlavi, is holding a series of important meetings. That country is the United Kingdom. Reza Pahlavi is currently in London, where he is meeting British politicians one after another. On Monday, he met with several UK Members of Parliament and said he is there to gather support for a secular and democratic government in Iran, a system, he believes, the people of Iran truly need.
According to a report by British media outlet Middle East Eye, Reza Pahlavi spoke to MPs in the British Parliament about the current situation inside Iran. He also shared his views on how a change in leadership could take place. In past interviews too, he has said that now is the right time for regime change, as he believes Iran is currently at its weakest point. What is Reza Pahlavi planning?
The report say that Reza Pahlavi is explaining to UK lawmakers how things are under the current regime in Iran. More importantly, he is also sharing his plans to help Iran transition from an Islamic government to a stable, secular democracy.
What's notable is that these meetings are happening frequently. Another meeting was recently hosted by Luke Akehurst, a Labour Party MP, and Afra Brandreth, a Conservative MP, showing that interest in Reza's message is cutting across political lines in the UK. What did Reza Pahlavi say?
While in the UK, Reza Pahlavi not only briefed British lawmakers about the situation in Iran but also posted a message on social media platform X (formerly Twitter).
In his post, he wrote: 'The Iranian regime openly calls for the destruction of Britain. This is a danger not just for the Iranian people but for the British people as well. I am in London meeting with political leaders to urge them to support the Iranian people's fight for a secular and democratic Iran. This is in the best interest of both our nations.' Reza Pahlavi's stand against Iran's islamic regime
Reza Pahlavi has long been a vocal critic of Iran's current Islamic leadership. He has repeatedly called for removing the ruling regime and shifting to a democratic system.
In a recent interview, he said that now is the right time to remove Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei from power. He stressed that no military is needed for this — the people of Iran themselves are the real force.
He also reminded everyone what Iran was like before the Islamic Revolution and how far behind the country has fallen since then. Reza has made it clear that if given the chance, he wants to help build a free, democratic Iran that respects the rights of all its citizens.

Mehdi Hasan shuts down 20 Donald Trump fans in explosive jubilee debate – viewers call him a ‘National Treasure'
Mehdi Hasan is a British-American journalist who recently made a splash in progressive politics after departing from the MSNBC network to found his own independent media platform, known as Zeteo. Since then, Mehdi has spearheaded numerous investigative journalism and advocacy efforts, most notably concerning the ongoing war in Gaza, which he has termed a 'genocide'. Mehdi is also a staunch critic of the current Donald Trump administration, and has built up a reputation as a formidable debater. On July 20, he showcased his passion for debating once more by appearing on Jubilee's Surrounded. Surrounded is a YouTube series where a public debater deliberately disadvantages themselves by pitting themselves against 20 people of opposing viewpoints, with Mehdi facing off against hardline Donald Trump supporters who were staunchly anti-immigrant and openly supported many of the president's most controversial policies. Mehdi would later post a highlight reel of the over 90-minute debate on his X account, which got a lot of reactions, with James Allan calling Mehdi a "National Treasure". You're a National Treasure Mehdi. Netizens rally around Mehdi after his Jubilee debate Mehdi's highlight reel prompted a lot of responses on his X timeline, with many praising Mehdi's debating skills and commending him on facing off against America's radicalized right-wingers head on. User doomer_world called Mehdi an American hero, which he looked all too happy to hear. 🙏🏽 User Nick Warren said that the others brought a pencil sharpener to a gatling gun fight. They bought a pencil sharpener to a gatling gun fight... User jocamp thanked Mehdi for everything. 🙏🏽 User Rickey Williams commended Mehdi for taking 'hate and fascism' full on, and said there was no barometer to gauge the amount of 'crazy' among the 20 right-wingers. Words cannot express how much I appreciate you Mehdi, you took hate and fascism full on, there's no barometer to gauge the amount of crazy amongst those 20. User whereisjarule_ stated that Mehdi was the best debater he'd ever seen. Happy it's mehdi Hasan of all people going against them. He is the best debater I've ever seen! User thelefttake condemned the people Mehdi debated against, saying they should be 'put on a watchlist'. There are multiple people in this video who should be placed on a watchlist. It's actually scary knowing they walk among us. Not all responses to Mehdi's debate were positive, however, with seasters jones saying that Mehdi shouldn't have given the 'fascists' a platform. Had you never watched previous episodes? Just fascists getting crushed and acting like they won likely because they got to advertise/platform their hate. User Grounded Spaceman accused Mehdi of just talking over everyone. lol…this isn't the own you think it is. I'd wager that you can win a debate fair and square over the normal this is just you talking over ppl. Fast and loud doesn't win a debate dude User Landon Best said that Mehdi shouldn't call what he did a 'debate' because none of the 20 reactionaries he talked to had any ideas worth seriously considering. Your #1 issue is calling this a debate when it's not. Debate implies these ideas are in any way meant to be taken seriously. There is nothing serious about any of the 20 reactionaries you talked to. However, Landon was met with pushback by ValorieThomas, who pointed out that everyone in the video knew what they signed up for, and genuinely considered themselves debaters. It's important to note that every person in that room knew what they were signed up for. Every person in there knew who would be sitting across the table. Everyone in that room thinks they are debaters with relevant, cogent ideas & arguments. Mehdi Hasan has had a storied journalism career Before establishing his own media company, Mehdi Hasan spent a long time building his credentials as a journalist and activist. After doing a few stints on British networks such as ITV and BBC One, Mehdi rose to prominence as an anchor for Al Jazeera, following which he transitioned to MSNBC and hosted The Mehdi Hasan Show from 2020 to 2024. Aside from his work on Zeteo, Mehdi is also a regular columnist for The Guardian. To stay updated on the stories that are going viral follow Indiatimes Trending.

Temples of social justice
Recently, a political controversy erupted in Tamil Nadu on the issue of diverting temple funds for building colleges. Beyond the political debates, the issue throws light on a unique social justice model around the regulation of secular practices associated with religion. This model, predominantly developed in the erstwhile Madras Presidency, draws strength from a 200-year-old legislative framework which continues till date. It has gained more acceptance in south India. As elections approach in Kerala and Tamil Nadu, clarity on the issue will help diffuse attempts to polarise voters around it. Religious endowments law Through the Religious Endowment and Escheats Regulation 1817, the East India Company set up the earliest legislative architecture around regulation of religious endowments. When the British Crown assumed direct control over Indian territories in 1858, Queen Victoria issued a proclamation stating that the sovereign would restrict interference in religious affairs. This was necessary as there was concern about losing face from the 1857 Sepoy Mutiny, which was triggered by religious issues. However, the withdrawal of the British government from religious affairs was not complete. In fact, in the Madras Presidency, various British officials argued for continued oversight of religious endowments. Finally, the British government settled for a balanced approach: the sovereign would not interfere with practices that were essentially religious, such as rituals, but would exercise control over the lands and secular aspects of the religious endowments. The idea of the government supervising religious institutions came to be crystallised when the Justice Party was elected in 1920. One of the earliest legislative interventions by the Justicites was Bill No. 12 of 1922: Hindu Religious Endowments Act. When it was introduced in the Madras Legislative Council, it faced opposition, mainly due to the provision in the law that allowed surplus temple funds to be diverted for other purposes. The nub of the issue was whether funds provided to a temple could be used for secular purposes. The matter was debated and settled in 1925, when the law was enacted. Since then, every revised version of the plenary law, including the current law — The Tamil Nadu Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Act, 1959 — has retained the provision of surplus funds. Also read | Activist alleges 'criminal misappropriation' of temple funds by T.N. HR&CE Dept, Madras High Court calls for response Section 36 of the 1959 Act permits the trustees of religious institutions to appropriate any surplus funds for any purposes listed under the law, with the prior sanction of the Commissioner. 'Surplus' means any amount remaining after adequate provisions have been made for the maintenance of the temple and training of its officials. The Act also empowers the Joint Commissioner or the Deputy Commissioner to appropriate funds in cases where the original purpose has become impossible to fulfil. Endowments to temples have a long and rich history. Temples received lavish donations from the sovereign rulers from as far back as in 970 AD, when the Chola empire was at its peak. Historian Anirudh Kanisetti writes that Sembiyan Mahadevi, a Chola queen, made strategic donations of land and kind to temples. The practice continued during the Vijayanagara kingdom. Temples were not just places of worship; they were socio-cultural hubs and were also used for educational purposes. This is confirmed by the inscriptions on temple walls and the spacious mandapams (pillared halls) which were used to hold educational or cultural events. So the original intent argument would also support the theory of utilising temple resources for educational purposes. The 1959 Act has been tested and upheld by constitutional courts. Among the permissible uses of surplus funds under the 1959 Act is the establishment and maintenance of universities or colleges (Section 66). These educational institutions are also required to make available the study of the Hindu religion or Hindu temple architecture. Seen within this framework, building colleges from temple funds is not only legal, but a logical extension of these provisions. Social justice legacy The controversy around the use of temple funds cannot be restricted to discussing legal propositions, however; it also carries ideological and sociopolitical significance. In the pre-colonial era, the motivation for the rulers to support large-scale endowments was that the temples acted as channels through which State resources could be allotted for important welfare projects. Through colonial rule, the British East India Company and the Crown viewed sovereign involvement in the management of temple affairs as necessary for reasons of revenue and maintenance of local control. Over the last century, the Self-Respect Movement, which emerged from the Madras Presidency, viewed the regulation of temples and oversight of their resources as a critical feature of anti-caste reforms. Without this, there would have been no temple entry legislation in 1936 and 1947. Today, Tamil Nadu and Kerala are among the few States where governments have appointed priests from backward classes after a prolonged legal struggle. Ultimately, any argument against government control of temple affairs would be striking at the root of social justice. The role of the government in ensuring that surplus funds are appropriated in a lawful manner is settled. Any reversal of this would only result in a set back of the long legacy of social justice and religious reforms that south India has pioneered.

Bad news for Israel, US as Iran builds indigenous air defence system in record time, even more powerful than..., says 'we are...'
New Delhi: Iran has once again shown that it has become a powerful nation. Its air defense systems were completely destroyed by Israel and Tehran's skies were rendered vulnerable. Now Iran has rebuilt all those air defense systems in just one month. Not only this, it has made them more lethal than ever before. According to Iran's Defa Press News Agency, Iranian Army Operations Deputy Mahmoud Mousavi has claimed that all the damaged air defense systems have been replaced with systems made in Iran. 'We cannot deny that some systems were damaged, but we immediately deployed the pre-arranged systems already kept in safe places. They have been made even more powerful'. Iran's self-reliance Self-reliance has now become Iran's biggest strength in military strategy. Iran has reactivated its air defense without foreign cooperation. Bavar-373, which is Iran's domestically developed long-range air defense system, has been upgraded and enhanced more than before. The S-300 system acquired from Russia is also in alert mode. The Iranian army also clarified that no foreign defense equipment was imported in the last one month. That is, this entire process was done domestically, which shows Iran's military self-reliance. What happened in June? In the military conflict between Israel and Iran in June, the Israeli Air Force targeted several Iranian military bases. These included several missile production centers, air defense battalions and radar stations. The conflict became more serious when Iran launched dozens of drones and missiles towards Israel, many of which were intercepted by the Israeli 'Iron Dome' and 'David's Sling'. Iran's air defense suffered severe damage in this conflict. But the way Tehran has prepared to counter has alerted Israel and its Western allies. What is Bavar-373? Iran's Bavar-373 system has now become the most reliable pillar of its air defense. Like the S-400, it has multi-target and multi-layer interception capability. Its range is up to 300 kilometers and it can deal with multiple airborne threats simultaneously. In 2020, Iran demonstrated it publicly. But after the recent crisis, it has been redeployed with a new configuration. According to defense experts, this system is now equipped with faster reaction time and enhanced radar coverage. What else has Iran worked on? Defa Press reports that the Iranian army has adopted a strategy of preventive defense in many areas. For this, air defense units have been moved to new places and the number of mobile missile units has also been increased. Iran's message: We are ready This strong recovery of Iran is important not only militarily but also politically. This is a direct message to Israel and America that do not make the mistake of considering Iran weak. Last October also, when Israel attacked missile factories, Iran surprised the world by conducting retaliatory military exercises within a few weeks. Now once again, without any noise, Iran has done something that has surprised even the big defense experts.
