    Who is a neutral journalist?

    The Diplomat is not a very reliable source of information, and the writer's name is familiar for that same reason. Anyway, this issue should be cleared up in a few hours in St Petersburg where Modi is meeting Putin.

    Iran Drops Plan to Send Human Into Space, Citing Cost

    It takes decades of testing and development before you can send a human to space. I doubt Iran will be able to do it before 2030. Furthermore, Iran needs native capability to send more satellites into space, not monkeys. That's my honest opinion anyway.
