Iranian-American leader urges caution amid fragile ceasefire CHICAGO: Following the ceasefire announced on Tuesday between the US and Iran, significant uncertainty remains around its terms and whether it will hold. With officials from both countries expected to begin negotiations on Friday in Islamabad, the ceasefire is widely seen as a narrow and fragile window for diplomacy. It is “a critical opportunity to reassess strategy and avoid renewed escalation, particularly tactics that could harm civilians or destabilize the region,” Dr. Neda Bolourchi, executive director of the Public Affairs Alliance of Iranian Americans, told Arab News.

Excess money and broken election system fuels Illinois’ pathetic voter turnout There is a cause for low voter turnout in Illinois elections, but unfortunately the wealthy candidates who do nothing prevent us from making positive change. They thrive on problems to win office
