Iran terror attack
Tehran strongly condemns the Sunday terrorist attack in the southern city of Shiraz, saying terrorists are trying to retaliate for the heavy blows Iran dealt to them. Foreign Ministry spokesman Naser Kan’ani said terrorists target innocent civilians out of anger over their humiliating defeats. Kan’ani also highlighted the role of late Iranian commander General Qassem Soleimani in the fight against Daesh terrorists. The spokesman said the general had a decisive role in the fight against terror and Israel in the region. Earlier, President Ebrahim Raeisi ordered an immediate probe into the deadly terrorist attack, which left at least one person dead and several wounded, some critically. On Sunday, a gunman open fire at an entrance of the Shah Cheragh Shrine. The assailant was arrested at the site. Security forces have also detained four suspects over the shooting.
Deadly wildfires
The death toll from the Hawaii wildfires has risen to 93 amid growing anger over response to the deadliest US blaze in 100 years. Hawaiian authorities say the number of fatalities will increase further as hundreds are still unaccounted for. The fire has damaged or destroyed more than 2,200 structures in the hardest-hit town of Lahaina. It has also left thousands homeless. Officials have launched an investigation into handling of the fire as residents are complaining that there had been no warnings. Hawaii congresswoman Jill Tokuda says officials had underestimated the danger of the devastating fire. The blaze has been described as the worst natural disaster in the island’s history.
Argentina election primaries
Argentina’s ruling coalition is heading for a defeat in the presidential primaries, as a far-right outsider emerges as the biggest vote-getter. Anti-establishment Javier Milei is so far in the lead with 32% of the votes. That’s out of 73% of the ballots counted. The candidates of the main conservative bloc and the ruling coalition are trailing him with 28 and 26 percent of the votes, respectively. The primaries serve as a clear indication of the favorite to win in the October elections. Deeply unpopular President Alberto Fernandez is not seeking re-election. That comes amid public outrage with year-on-year inflation at 115%, poverty soaring and the value of the peso nose-diving.
