NEWSWEEK: We’re told the [Israeli] target was in a place called Dayr az Zawr. Imad Moustapha: No, Dayr az Zawr is a major city; it was not targeted. The Israeli planes threw their ammunition close to Dayr az Zawr, but outside Dayr az Zawr, and then they made a U-turn and threw their reserve fuel tanks. And because they were flying above the Syria-Turkish border, they threw those on the Turkish side of the border....

NEWSWEEK: What was your first impression when you heard about Gabriel Estrada? Margaret G. Spinelli: Even eight months after the birth of her last daughter, we would consider it postpartum depression. So in infanticide or filicide like this, the woman is either psychotic, hearing voices [or] delusional. When she’s really depressed or suicidal it’s called altruistic infanticide or filicide—when the mother kills herself but kills her children too, because she can’t leave them behind....

Bellingcrat, an investigative journalism group based in the Netherlands and founded by a British journalist in 2014, released an extensive report on Monday purporting to have found the group, consisting of “dozens of military engineers.” The investigation that led to the discovery lasted roughly six months and was done in collaboration with The Insider, a Russia-focused independent media outlet, and Der Spiegel, the largest news outlet in Germany. The report included a chart naming and showing a photo of most members of the clandestine group....

But don’t even think about partying like it’s 1999. To play it safe, seek companies whose earnings grow roughly at the same rate as the figure that is their price-earnings ratio. So if a company’s share price is 19 times its earnings, its earnings should be growing at roughly 19 percent a year. “The ecstasy associated with making a lot of money in these stocks hasn’t completely died,” says Kessler....

Robert Lee Noye, 52, was arrested in the early morning hours of Monday, after Cedar Rapids, Iowa police responded to a 911 call from his girlfriend, 37-year-old Jill Shelton. He was charged with false imprisonment and first degree harassment on Tuesday. Shelton told police that she had set up a bed in the basement of the home to avoid Noye, who had been verbally attacking her though the night. He eventually demanded that she join him upstairs, where he forced her to sit down and watch Roots....

The explosion caused only minor damage and no casualties, Iran’s Defense Ministry said. The ministry did not offer any details on who it suspected carried out the attack. It came amid tension with the West over Tehran’s nuclear work and supply of arms for Russia’s war in Ukraine. The country has also been rocked by months of anti-government demonstrations sparked by the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini, who was detained by Iran’s morality police and died in their custody last September....

Kazem Gharibabadi, Iran’s representative to the IAEA and other Vienna-based international bodies, told reporters Wednesday that Grossi’s intervention risked undermining the work of the IAEA and shifting attention from the JCPOA, the state-run Press TV reported. Grossi told Newsweek on Tuesday that the IAEA has concerns about reported secret nuclear facilities in Iran, where enriched uranium is being processed outside the bounds of the JCPOA, which in 2015 capped the level of enrichment and size of stockpile Tehran is allowed....

Forty members of the Iranian parliament had signed the motion as of Monday, according to Radio Farda. The proposal—titled “Organizing Social Media Messaging,” would also ban foreign messaging apps and replace them with domestically-produced ones, which may hand the regime closer surveillance capabilities. The legislation would also introduce new penalties for anyone offering foreign messaging apps or ways around the restrictions, for example VPNs. Those violating the new proposal will face a “six degree” imprisonment or fine, meaning anywhere from six months to two years in prison, and a fine of between $475 and $1,900....

But even as negotiations drag on into successive rounds, the Islamic Republic is not hurrying to settle for less. “We want to arrive at a good agreement on the steps needed to be taken by the US to return to JCPOA,” Shahrokh Nazemi, head of the media office at Iran’s permanent mission to the United Nations, told Newsweek, using an acronym to refer to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action nuclear deal....

Meanwhile, Iranian-backed militias in Iraq—the primary battlefield for the U.S.-Iranian conflict—appear to have resumed rocket attacks against the American embassy in Baghdad after a month hiatus, killing one child and injuring five others. According to Iran’s state-run Fars News Agency, Rouhani—a moderate president who signed the 2015 nuclear deal and whose term expires in June—repeated a common Iranian attack on Wednesday, claiming: “The U.S. government is a terrorist.” Experts have suggested that Biden may ease Trump’s “maximum pressure” campaign against Iran when he takes office, perhaps offering limited sanctions relief as a goodwill gesture in the hope of resurrecting the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, from which Trump withdrew in 2018....

The announcement did not contain information about the date or time of the launch, or what devices were on the carrier.

“The idea of a swap of prisoners has always been on the agenda” and they should be released because of “humane concerns,” Iran Cabinet spokesman Ali Rabiei said. He did not offer details on how many Iranians are held in the U.S. but said the number is larger than that of American prisoners in Iran. Iran has said it was open to prisoner swaps with the U.S. in the past, a move that is seen as a rare diplomatic breakthrough between Tehran and Washington, according to the Associated Press....

At Monday’s funeral of Major General Qassem Soleimani, his daughter Zeinab Soleimani delivered a eulogy in which, according to The Independent, she referred to the killing of her father as a “martyrdom” and cautioned Trump to not “think that everything is over.” According to The New York Times, Soleimani leveled even more vitriol at the president and at Israel, the United States’ closest ally in the Middle East. “You crazy Trump, the symbol of ignorance, the slave of Zionists, don’t think that the killing of my father will finish everything,” she said....

In November, Amir Nasr-Azadani, 26, was arrested after participating in the recent Iranian protests and charged in connection with the death of an an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps commander, according to The National News.

In a public statement, IHEC announced that the ruling comes as a result of “several technical and financial, legal, and health obstacles” that could prevent applicants abroad from receiving their biometric voting cards by Election Day. The commission’s decision was met with mixed reactions, with many Iraqis in support. They argue that citizens in diaspora should not be making decisions for a country they do not reside in—a belief popularized since 2003 due to the corruption and failures of expatriates, who played a dominant role for Iraqis in the U....
