Foreign support for Iran riots

Iran has released a video of two French spies arrested some four months ago, in which they have admitted to their efforts to incite chaos and unrest in the country. One of the spies has admitted to being an agent at the French foreign intelligence agency, known as the General Directorate for External Security. She proceeds to explain how they brought in large sums of cash in order to fund riots and strikes, as well as purchase weaponry in an attempt to stir up chaos. She also states that their main aim was to lay the groundwork for mass unrest and trigger a revolution in Iran. The Iranian Ministry of Intelligence announced their arrest in late May. The Ministry stated that they had entered the country with the aim of hijacking peaceful rallies to create social disorder.

Resisting Israel occupation  

The leader of Islamic Jihad says the Palestinians are forming new equations to counter plots by the Zionist regime. On the 35th anniversary of the establishment of Islamic Jihad, Ziyad al-Nakhalah said the resistance movement was set up to bring the 'message of unity' against the Zionists. Nakhalah said the Zionist enemy seeks to turn the Palestinian cause into a mere humanitarian issue. He said resistance against occupation must go on in Palestine. Nakhalah said Israel enjoys full support of its allies, the US in particular. But he said the resolute people of Palestine will never give in to enemy plots until the full liberation of their homeland. 

IMF global recession warning 

The head of the International Monetary Fund says global economy faces a gloomy picture as the IMF will downgrade its growth projections for next year. Kristalina Georgieva warned that recession risks across the globe are rising as a result of repeated shocks to global economy. She urged policymakers to take concerted action to avoid a dangerous new normal. Georgieva underlined the need to stabilize global economy by addressing the most immediate challenges. But she said the process could be painful. The IMF chief warned if central banks move too aggressively to tamp down price pressures, it could trigger a 'prolonged' economic downturn. Soaring inflation, higher borrowing costs and lingering supply-chain disruptions have dealt a heavy blow to global economy over the past few years.
