Speeding car — ACTING RESPONSIBLY IS A MUST FOR CELEBRITIES: The UAE is a second home to millions from all over the world. The quality of life that this country has showered on us is akin to the best on the planet. Thus it is equally important that we act responsibly, allowing the society to blossom. The new age social media celebrities often fail to understand this. One such person was jailed in Abu Dhabi for pulling off driving stunts. We need to realise that life is not all about a flashy lifestyle, but behaving responsibly in the interest of the greater good.

OPN 210502 EDIT — ZARIF APOLOGY DOESN’T ALTER REALITY IN IRAN: Iran’s foreign minister has apologised for comments he made after a recording was leaked to the public last week. In that recording, Zarif was heard making strong statements against powerful Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani, who was assassinated by America in 2020. The leaked comments have created a furore in Tehran ahead of the presidential elections. But, nothing Zarif says can change the reality in Iran, which is that the powerful Revolutionary Guard ultimately calls the shots in the country. It is this influence of the Guard that has led to the militarised outlook Iran has adopted in its regional policies. The one good thing that could emerge from the Zarif controversy is increased awareness amongst Iranians about the extent to which the Revolutionary Guard has come to dominate foreign policy-making in Iran.
