With the pendulum of war swinging in Russia’s favor and the Western alliance only now clearing the way for more aid to Ukraine, many have been waiting for the Institute for the Study of War to offer its take on who is to blame and what is to be done.

"Respecting the headscarf is not only a religious, but also a political and legal obligation for Iranian women," said Raisi on Sunday.
