Protes Iran timbulkan persoalan kelangsungan rejim, kata disiden diasingkan ia terasa seperti ‘revolusi’

January 13, 2026
(SeaPRwire) - Apabila dan kerajaan bertindak balas dengan kekerasan berbahaya, di tengah laporan yang semakin meningkat yang mendakwa beribu-ribu orang telah terbunuh, satu soalan yang semakin hangat dibincangkan oleh penganalisis dan rakyat Iran: Adakah Republik Islam menghadapi ancaman paling serius sejak revolusi 1979, atau adakah ia masih mempunyai kuasa paksaan yang mencukupi untuk terus bertahan?Bagi Mehdi Ghadimi, seorang wartawan Iran yang menghabiskan dekad-dekad memprotes rejim sebelum terpaksa meninggalkan negara, ketika ini terasa secara asasnya berbeza daripada apa-apa yang pernah berlaku sebelumnya."Sejak 1999, ketika saya berusia lebih kurang lima belas tahun, sehingga 2024, ketika saya terpaksa meninggalkan Iran, saya mengambil bahagian dalam setiap protes jalanan menentang Republik Islam," kata Ghadimi kepada Digital. "Untuk lebih kurang separuh daripada tahun-tahun tersebut, saya menyokong gerakan reformis. Tetapi selepas 2010, kami menjadi yakin bahawa Republik Islam tidak boleh diperbaiki, bahawa perubahan puak-puaknya adalah fiksyen."Menurut Ghadimi, kesedaran itu secara beransur-ansur merebak ke seluruh masyarakat Iran, mencapai kemuncak dalam apa yang digambarkannya sebagai peralihan yang tegas dalam kekacauan semasa."Buat pertama kalinya dalam 47 tahun menentang Republik Islam, idea untuk kembali ke tempoh sebelum Januari 1979 menjadi tuntutan tunggal dan titik perpaduan utama di kalangan rakyat," katanya. "Hasilnya, kami menyaksikan kehadiran paling meluas rakyat dari semua bandar dan desa di Iran di jalan-jalan raya, pada skala yang belum pernah berlaku dalam sebarang protes sebelumnya."Ghadimi mendakwa laungan di jalan-jalan mencerminkan peralihan itu. Daripada menuntut bantuan ekonomi atau perubahan kod pakaian, penunjuk perasaan secara terbuka menyerahkan kejatuhan Republik Islam dan kembalinya dinasti Pahlavi."Pada ketika itu, ia tidak lagi kelihatan bahawa kami hanya memprotes," katanya. "Kami, sebenarnya, sedang melakukan revolusi."Walaupun begitu, Ghadimi jelas tentang apa yang beliau percaya menghalang kejatuhan rejim."Jawapannya sangat jelas," katanya. "Kerajaan tidak menetapkan had untuk dirinya sendiri ketika membunuh rakyatnya sendiri."Beliau menambah bahawa Tehran kelihatan yakin dengan kekurangan akibat bagi tindakannya. "Ia juga telah diyakinkan oleh tingkah laku negara-negara lain bahawa jika ia berjaya bertahan, ia tidak akan dihukum untuk jenayah terang-terangan terhadap kemanusiaan ini," katanya. "Pintu diplomasi akan sentiasa terbuka untuk mereka, walaupun tangan mereka berlumuran darah."Ghadimi menggambarkan bagaimana akses untuk mengganggu koordinasi antara penunjuk perasaan dan pimpinan pembangkang di luar negara. Beliau berkata bahawa setelah sambungan diputuskan, jangkauan mesej video dari Putera Reza Pahlavi yang diasingkan menjunam dengan mendadak.Walaupun suara-suara Iran menggambarkan ketika revolusi, pakar keselamatan dan dasar menasihati bahawa realiti struktur masih memihak kepada rejim.Javed Ali, seorang profesor madya di Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy, berkata Republik Islam menghadapi ancaman yang jauh lebih serius terhadap cengkaman kuasanya daripada tahun-tahun lalu, didorong oleh pertemuan tekanan ketenteraan, serantau, ekonomi dan diplomatik."IRGC berada dalam kedudukan yang jauh lebih lemah selepas perang 12 hari dengan Israel musim panas lalu," kata Ali, dengan menyebut "penyingkiran kepimpinan, keupayaan peluru berpandu balistik dan dron yang telah digunakan atau rosak, dan rangkaian pertahanan udara dan radar yang telah merosot dengan ketara."Ali berkata penghalang serantau Iran juga telah terhakis dengan tajam. "Axis of Resistance yang dikatakan telah melemah dengan ketara di seluruh rantau," katanya, menunjukkan kepada kemunduran yang dialami oleh Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis dan militia Syiah yang bersekutu dengan Tehran.Dari segi dalaman, Ali berkata tekanan demografi menguatkan cabaran. "Populasi muda Iran lebih kecewa daripada sebelumnya dengan keadaan ekonomi yang merosot, sekatan sosial dan budaya yang berterusan dan tindakan kekerasan berulang terhadap perbezaan pendapat," katanya.Ali juga menunjuk kepada dinamik luaran yang berubah yang mengehadkan ruang gerak Tehran, termasuk apa yang digambarkannya sebagai yang terikat dengan pakatan Netanyahu-Trump. Beliau menambah bahawa terdapat "operasi bersama yang mungkin sudah bermula untuk menyokong gerakan protes di dalam Iran."Sumber keselamatan Israel, bercakap secara latar belakang, berkata Israel tidak mempunyai minat sedemikian untuk campur tangan dengan cara yang akan membolehkan Tehran mengalihkan kekacauan domestik ke luar."Semua orang faham lebih baik duduk dan menunggu dengan tenang dan tidak menarik api ke arah Israel," kata satu sumber. "Rejim ingin menjadikan ini tentang Israel dan musuh Zionis dan memulakan perang lain untuk menindas protes dalaman.""Ia bukan Israel menentang Iran," tambah sumber itu. "Kami mengakui bahawa rejim mempunyai kepentingan untuk mencetuskan kami, dan kami tidak mahu menyumbang kepada itu."Sumber itu berkata kejatuhan Republik Islam akan mempunyai akibat yang jauh. "Jika rejim jatuh, ia akan menjejaskan ," kata pegawai itu. "Ia boleh membuka era baru."Ali berkata Iran semakin terpencil secara diplomatik. "Terdapat pengasingan yang semakin meningkat dari , kejatuhan Assad di Syria dan hanya sokongan terbatas dari China dan Russia," katanya.Walaupun terdapat tekanan tersebut, Ali menasihati bahawa institusi paksaan Iran masih setia."Saya rasa unsur-unsur, bersama-sama dengan Kementerian Perisikan, masih setia kepada rejim daripada campuran ideologi, agama, dan kepentingan diri," katanya, dengan menyebut "kuasa, wang dan pengaruh."Sama ada ketakutan akan kejatuhan boleh mendorong orang dalam untuk melarikan diri masih tidak jelas. "Sama ada terdapat orang dalam yang sanggup bertukar kerana rasa akan kejatuhan struktur ulama yang akan datang adalah sukar untuk diketahui," kata Ali.Beliau meletakkan kebarangkalian kejatuhan rejim dalaman pada "25% atau kurang," dengan menyebutnya "mungkin, tetapi jauh kurang berkemungkinan."Buat masa ini, Iran kelihatan terperangkap antara dua realiti: populasi yang semakin bersatu padu sekitar penolakan Republik Islam, dan apparatus keselamatan yang masih sanggup menggunakan kekerasan yang luar biasa untuk memeliharanya.Seperti yang diperhatikan Ali, tekanan sahaja tidak menjatuhkan rejim. Ketika yang menentukan hanya tiba apabila mereka yang diarahkan untuk melaksanakan penindasan memutuskan ia tidak lagi dalam kepentingan mereka untuk berbuat demikian.Walaupun , Ghadimi menasihati bahawa hasilnya masih tidak pasti."Selepas empat hari neraka ini, tanpa mengetahui nasib rakan-rakan dan orang tersayang kami yang keluar ke jalan-jalan, atau sama ada mereka masih hidup atau tidak, ia benar-benar sukar bagi saya untuk memberikan penilaian yang jelas dan mengatakan sama ada revolusi kami kini bergerak ke arah kemenangan atau tidak," katanya.Beliau mengingati mesej yang beliau dengar berulang kali sebelum meninggalkan Iran, merentasi bandar-bandar dan kelas sosial."Satu-satunya perkara yang saya dengar secara konsisten ialah ini: ‘Kami tidak mempunyai apa-apa lagi untuk hilangkan, dan walaupun dengan nyawa kami, kami tidak akan undur satu langkah daripada tuntutan kami untuk kejatuhan Republik Islam,’" kata Ghadimi. "Mereka meminta saya berjanji bahawa kini saya berada di luar Iran, saya akan menjadi suara mereka.""Semangat itu adalah apa yang masih memberikan harapan kemenangan kepada hati saya," tambahnya. "Tetapi minda saya memberitahu saya bahawa apabila pembunuhan beramai-ramai tidak membawa hukuman, dan apabila kerajaan mempunyai peluru, senjata api dan ketegasan yang cukup untuk menindasnya, walaupun ia bermakna membunuh berjuta-juta, maka kemenangan akan memerlukan keajaiban."Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Dengan melemahnya Iran, persoalan mengenai cita-cita serantau Mohammed bin Salman semakin meningkat kewangan

Dengan melemahnya Iran, persoalan mengenai cita-cita serantau Mohammed bin Salman semakin meningkat

January 13, 2026
(SeaPRwire) - Apabila Iran semakin lemah, vakum kuasa sedang muncul di seluruh — dan Saudi Arabia sedang bergerak untuk mengisinya dengan menyelaraskan semula hubungan dengan musuh lalu, menjaga rakan kongsi global dan menegaskan dasar luar yang lebih bebas, menurut beberapa pakar.Javed Ali, bekas pegawai kanan di Majlis Keselamatan Negara dan profesor di Universiti Michigan, memberitahu Digital bahawa "Sejak revolusi Iran 1979, kedua-dua Saudi Arabia dan Iran telah bersaing untuk pengaruh di seluruh dunia Muslim yang lebih luas. Pengukuhan kuasa Mohammed bin Salman di kerajaan juga telah memperkenalkan visi yang sangat berbeza daripada pendahulunya."Langkah terbaru Riyadh, dari Yaman ke Turki, sedang memicu perdebatan tentang sama ada peranan serantau Mohammed bin Salman yang semakin luas masih sejajar dengan kepentingan AS. Sebagai sebahagian daripada penyelarasan semula itu, Bloomberg melaporkan pada 9 Januari bahawa Turki sedang mencari kemasukan ke dalam pakta pertahanan bersama Saudi–Pakistan yang ditandatangani empat bulan sebelumnya, menurut orang yang biasa dengan perbincangan itu.Michael Rubin, fellow kanan di American Enterprise Institute, berkata trajektori semasa Saudi Arabia mesti dilihat melalui tahun-tahun kekecewaan terkumpul dengan dasar AS."Untuk adil kepada MBS, sebelumnya juga tidak menunaikan bahagian mereka dalam perjanjian," Rubin memberitahu Digital, menunjuk kepada serangan berulang Houthi ke atas wilayah Saudi. "Houthi melancarkan ratusan drone dan roket yang diabaikan oleh pentadbiran Obama."Rubin berkata ketegangan semakin mendalam apabila menjalankan pembaharuan yang telah dituntut oleh pembuat dasar AS sejak lama, hanya untuk menghadapi kritikan keras dari Washington. Dia menyebut keputusan pentadbiran Biden untuk menyingkirkan penetapan keganasan Houthi."Dengan tiada ukuran objektif sepatutnya Setiausaha Negara Antony Blinken menyingkirkan penetapan keganasan dari Houthi," kata Rubin, memanggil langkah itu "benar-benar dendam yang ditujukan kepada MBS dan ."Rubin berkata keputusan itu menandakan titik pertukaran. "MBS menghitung bahawa jika Amerika Syarikat tidak menyokongnya, dia perlu menerima Plan B," katanya, menjelaskan temu bual dengan Rusia dan China sebagai isyarat taktik dan bukannya penyelarasan ideologi.Penyelidik geopolitik Saudi Salman Al-Ansari menolak dakwaan bahawa Riyadh sedang menyimpang ideologikal atau menerima gerakan Islamis, membingkai sebagai dipacu oleh kepentingan."Saudi Arabia tidak berdasarkan dasar luarnya pada penyelarasan ideologikal, tetapi pada pertimbangan pragmatik yang bertujuan untuk kestabilan dan pembangunan," Al-Ansari memberitahu Digital. Dia berkata temu bual dengan Turki mencerminkan usaha untuk menurunkan tahap persaingan. "Perbincangan dengan Turki mencerminkan pendekatan diplomatik ini, yang cuba mengubah Timur Tengah daripada rantau konflik kronik kepada rantau yang lebih stabil."Al-Ansari berkata peralihan itu sudah memberikan hasil. "Peralihan ini telah memberi Riyadh fleksibiliti yang lebih besar dalam melibatkan kuasa serantau, perubahan yang cepat diiktiraf oleh Ankara dan telah diterjemahkan kepada kerjasama ekonomi yang berkembang."Dia menolak dakwaan penyelarasan dengan Muslim Brotherhood. "Saudi Arabia menamakan kumpulan itu sebagai organisasi pengganas pada 2014, dan kedudukan ini kekal tidak berubah," katanya.Interpretasi bersaing tentang niat Saudi kini bertembung paling jelas di Yaman, di mana asalnya dibentuk untuk melawan proksi Houthi Iran. Walaupun kedua-duanya memasuki perang untuk memadamkan pengaruh Iran, strategi mereka berbeza. Riyadh menyokong negara Yaman yang bersatu di bawah kerajaan yang diiktiraf antarabangsa, dengan alasan fragmentasi menguatkan Iran. UAE telah menyokong pemisah selatan, termasuk , dengan memberi keutamaan kepada kawalan over pelabuhan dan koridor keselamatan.Dalam beberapa hari terakhir, tentera Saudi dan kerajaan Yaman sebahagian besarnya telah menawan semula selatan dan timur Yaman daripada Southern Transitional Council (STC) yang disokong UAE, dan pemimpin STC dilaporkan melarikan diri ke UAE semasa dakwaan pembubaran kumpulan itu, menyerlahkan perpecahan tajam yang melibatkan sokongan Emirati kepada pemisahRubin menyebut Yaman sebagai tanda amaran yang paling jelas. "Ini paling baik dilihat di Yaman, di mana dia telah menyokong puak Muslim Brotherhood secara tentera dan menyerang Angkatan Selatan yang lebih sekular dengan cara yang hanya memberdayakan dan Houthi," katanya.Al-Ansari membantah bahawa "perbezaan dengan UAE berpunca daripada sokongannya kepada aktor bersenjata pemisah di Yaman, yang mempersulit proses politik, memecah belah barisan anti-Houthi, dan akhirnya menguntungkan militia Houthi yang disokong Iran."Rubin memberi amaran tentang akibat jangka panjang. "Dengan 'blowback' saya maksudkan Islamist yang sama yang dibiakkan oleh MBS hari ini akhirnya akan menyasarkan Saudi Arabia pada masa depan," katanya.Dengan Iran lemah dan kuasa serantau beralih, Washington sekarang menghadapi soalan pusat: sama ada peranan Saudi Arabia yang semakin luas akan mengukuhkan kestabilan yang disokong AS, atau mentakrifkan semula keseimbangan kuasa dengan cara yang menguji had perkongsian lama.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Focus Graphite Develops and Validates AI-Enabled Graphite Flake Sizing Technology to Enhance Resource Valuation and Mine Planning ACN Newswire

Focus Graphite Develops and Validates AI-Enabled Graphite Flake Sizing Technology to Enhance Resource Valuation and Mine Planning

January 13, 2026
Ottawa, Ontario--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - January 13, 2026) - Focus Graphite Inc. (TSXV: FMS) (OTCQB: FCSMF) (FSE: FKC0) ("Focus" or the "Company"), a leading developer of high-grade flake graphite deposits and advanced graphite materials for battery, defence, and industrial applications, is pleased to announce the successful development and validation of a novel, low-cost AI-enabled in situ graphite flake size characterization technology (the "Technology") and its integration into the geometallurgical model of the Company's 100%-owned Lac Tetepisca Graphite Project (the "Project") in Quebec.Key HighlightsDeveloped and validated a low-cost, AI-enabled in situ graphite flake size characterization technology, integrated directly into the Lac Tetepisca geometallurgical modelEnables high-resolution characterization of flake size distribution across the deposit without the need for extensive bulk metallurgical testing, supporting improved resource valuation and mine planningPreliminary results indicate an inverse relationship between graphite grade and flake size, supporting the potential for a lower cut-off grade and improved Project economicsResults from this work are expected to be incorporated into the upcoming MOGC mineral resource estimate update, anticipated in late Q1 2026Methodology validated against bench-scale metallurgical testing and scanning electron microscopy analysis, with approximately 300 samples currently being processedFollowing validation at Lac Tetepisca, the Company intends to apply the technology to its Lac Knife Project, supporting efficient, scalable, and ESG-aligned mining strategies from the outsetThe Technology enables high-resolution mapping of graphite flake size distribution directly from conventional drill core material, without the need for extensive bulk metallurgical testing. By materially improving visibility into the spatial distribution of flake sizes across the deposit, the Technology supports enhanced resource valuation, more selective mine planning, and value-driven production strategies. Results from this work are expected to be incorporated into the upcoming mineral resource estimate ("MRE") update for the Manicouagan-Ouest Graphitic Corridor ("MOGC") deposit, anticipated in late Q1 2026. The Technology was developed by the research and development team at IOS Services Geoscientifiques Inc. ("IOS") of Saguenay, Quebec with partial funding provided through Quebec's Programme quebecois de valorisation des mineraux critiques et strategiques ("PQVMCS"), administered by the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources ("MERN").Following successful validation at Lac Tetepisca, Focus intends to apply the same AI-enabled flake size characterization methodology to its Lac Knife Graphite Project, which is at a more advanced stage of development and nearing completion of permitting deliverables. The Company believes this approach supports efficient, scalable, and ESG-aligned mining strategies across its graphite portfolio.Technology Overview and Key FindingsGraphite pricing is strongly dependent on flake size, with market prices ranging from approximately US$300 per tonne for fine flakes (-200 mesh) to over US$1,400 per tonne for jumbo flakes (+48 mesh). Historically, graphite resource valuation has relied on basket pricing derived from limited bulk metallurgical composite samples, which may not adequately capture spatial variability in flake size distribution within a deposit.The newly developed AI-enabled methodology addresses this limitation by enabling low-cost, high-resolution characterization of flake size distribution across a deposit, down to individual geological domains or resource blocks. The Technology applies AI-based RGB image analysis to high-resolution optical microscopy images of graphite flakes recovered from coarse rejects generated during routine assaying, providing a scalable and repeatable approach to flake size characterization.The methodology has been benchmarked against bench-scale metallurgical testing on 30 composite samples and independently validated using automated particle analysis by scanning electron microscopy ("SEM"). Approximately 300 samples are currently being processed to populate a geometallurgical model for the MOGC deposit.Preliminary results indicate an inverse relationship between graphite grade and flake size, with lower-grade zones hosting a significantly higher proportion of jumbo flakes. These findings suggest that a lower cut-off grade may be appropriate for the forthcoming MRE, with potential positive implications for mine life, operational flexibility, and Project economics. This level of spatial resolution provides a direct input into resource valuation, cut-off grade selection, and value-driven mine planning.Richard Pearce, graphite mining industry veteran and technical consultant to the Company, commented, "In traditional graphite operations, limited visibility into flake size variability forces operators to rely on large stockpiles and higher inventories to manage production and sales risk. From hands-on experience, knowing where different flake sizes occur materially improves mine planning and operational efficiency. This AI-based flake size characterization tool enables mining with intent — aligning extraction with customer requirements, reducing waste, and improving overall economics. Applying it at Lac Tetepisca and extending it to the Lac Knife positions Focus to develop efficient, customer-driven operations from the outset."Operational and ESG ImplicationsImproved spatial mapping of flake size distribution enables more selective mining, enhanced alignment of production with customer specifications, reduced inventory requirements, and improved control over process costs. Understanding where specific flake size populations occur within the deposit allows Focus to mine with intent-optimizing extraction based on end-market demand while minimizing waste and unnecessary material movement.This upstream mining discipline complements the Company's downstream ESG initiatives, including the development of low-emission, chemical-free purification technologies. Together, these strategies support a lower-impact, mine-to-market value chain and responsible stewardship of a critical mineral.Dean Hanisch, Chief Executive Officer of Focus Graphite, added, "As Focus advances ESG-aligned downstream initiatives, it is equally important that responsibility and efficiency begin at the mining and extraction level. Technologies that enable selective mining, reduced waste, and optimized resource use are essential to maintaining consistency across the value chain. We are grateful for the support provided through Quebec's PQVMCS program and for the technical leadership of IOS, which together enabled the development of a novel approach that strengthens both environmental stewardship and economic efficiency."MOGC Resource BackgroundThe MOGC flake graphite deposit is part of the Company's Lac Tetepisca Project, located southwest of the Manicouagan Reservoir on the Nitassinan of the Pessamit Innu First Nation, in Quebec's Cote-Nord region. The MOGC is currently defined by a linear 1.5 km long segment of an 8 km long folded geophysical magnetic-electromagnetic anomaly that trends N035°. The April 4, 2022 NI 43-101 Technical Report, prepared by DRA America's Inc. ("DRA"), outlines a pit-constrained Indicated Resource of 59.3 million tonnes (Mt) grading 10.61% Graphitic Carbon (Cg) for an estimated content of 6.3 Mt of natural flake graphite (in situ), plus an Inferred Resource of 14.9 Mt grading 11.06% Cg for an estimated content of 1.6 Mt of natural flake graphite. This maiden resource predates all drilling completed in 2022. An updated MRE incorporating all 2022 drill holes is expected in late Q1 2026. This maiden resource estimate is available on www.sedarplus.ca/ on the Company's profile. As demonstrated in previous releases, the 2022 drill program extended the mineralization at depth and to the southwest, and now to the West limb.The current maiden resource used a basket price for graphite concentrate of US$1,171 per tonne1, using the flake size distribution obtained by metallurgical testing conducted by SGS-Canada in 2020 (18% Jumbo Flakes, 22% Large Flakes, 22% Medium Flakes, and 37% fine flakes). These metallurgy tests were performed on a 308-kilogram bulk samples composited from large diameter 2014 and 2016 drill core, assumed to be representative of the then delimited MOGC deposit.Sample selection and preparationThe geometallurgy project is based on a selection of 300 core samples from 2014, 2016, 2017, 2020, and 2022 drill programs, for a total of 459.56 metres from 107 holes. These samples were selected in order to be as representative as possible with regard to position within the deposit, lithologies and graphite abundance. Material consists of the coarse rejects (70% +2mm) from the assaying procedure, preserved in nitrogen-filled drums to prevent sulphide oxidation and stored in IOS facilities. The material has been screened at 2 mm, and the coarse fraction reground with the use of a laboratory ring mill. Grain size distribution of the resulting material has been measured with a Fritsch Analysette-22 laser diffraction particle size analyzer. A few-gram aliquot was used to manufacture polished epoxy mounts for microscopic studies. A mosaic of high magnification image is then acquired with a Zeiss Axio-imager M2C motorized microscope and processed with a proprietary algorithm to extract and measure individual graphite flakes larger than 20 um.As quality control procedure, samples were concatenated by group of 10 to produce 30 samples dedicated to metallurgical testing. The testing procedure included sequence of milling with a rod mill and bench scale flotation including flash flotation, a rougher and multiple cleaner cycles. Quality of the concentrates was monitored using both graphitic carbon assays and optical flake measurement. Flake size distribution of the graphite concentrate was measured through laser diffraction particle sizing as well as conventional screening.Sample processing is expected to be completed by mid Q1 2026, with results incorporated into the geometallurgical model and supporting the upcoming Project MRE update expected in late Q1 2026.Figure 1 - Map of the location of drill core intervals selected for the graphite flake size analysis.To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/1963/280179_d6bad0f604e238f9_001full.jpgQualified PersonThe technical content disclosed in this news release was reviewed and approved by Rejean Girard, P.Geo.

Orang Iran Bisa Membuat Beberapa Panggilan Antarabangsa Sementara Internet Masih Diblokir di Tengah-Tengah Protes kewangan

Orang Iran Bisa Membuat Beberapa Panggilan Antarabangsa Sementara Internet Masih Diblokir di Tengah-Tengah Protes

January 13, 2026
(SeaPRwire) - Orang Iran dapat membuat beberapa panggilan antarabangsa pada hari Selasa pertama kali sejak pihak berkuasa mengenakan penutupan komunikasi yang meluas amid a terhadap protes lawan kerajaanPenduduk di Tehran berkata panggilan ke nombor di luar negara terhubung secara singkat, walaupun messenji teks masih tidak berfungsi dan akses internet masih terhad kepada website domestik yang disahkan oleh kerajaan, meninggalkan Iran sebahagian besar dipisahkan dari dunia luar.Pengembalian separa itu berlaku apabila pasukan keselamatan mengekalkan kehadiran yang kuat di seluruh Tehran tengah, mengikut penduduk, dengan polis kerusuhan, unit Penjaga Revolusi dan pegawai plainclothes disesuaikan di lokasi kunci apabila pihak berkuasa berusaha memerangi ketidaktenangan.Protes meledak dalam minggu-minggu lepas kerana krisis ekonomi Iran yang semakin memburuk, dengan demonstran semakin sering memanggil untuk perubahan kerajaan. Kumpulan aktivis berkata ratusan orang telah tewas, walaupun jumlah sebenar masih sukar disahkan kerana penutupan internet dan kawalan maklumat yang ketat oleh kerajaan.Beberapa pejabat kerajaan dan institusi kewangan rosak selama ketidaktenangan, kata penduduk, manakala pedagang melaporkan disuruh buka semula perniagaan walaupun operasi keselamatan berterusan. Kegiatan jalan kaki masih jarang di banyak kawasan ibu kota.Ketidaktenangan itu telah menarik perhatian antarabangsa yang lebih tinggi apabila ketegangan antara Tehran dan Washington meningkat. Presiden AS berkata Iran ingin berunding dengan adminisrasinya selepas ancamannya untuk mengebom negara itu kerana tindak balasnya terhadap protes."Iran lebih baik tidak memulakan tembakan, kerana kita juga akan memulakan tembakan," kata Trump pada hari Jumaat.Timbalan Perdana Menteri Iran Abbas Araghchi memberitahu Al Jazeera dalam temu bual yang ditayang pada malam Isnin bahawa beliau terus berkomunikasi dengan wakil AS Steve Witkoff."Komunikasi itu 'berterusan sebelum dan selepas protes dan masih berterusan'," kata Araghchi, menambah bahawa "idea-idea yang dicadangkan oleh Washington dan ancaman terhadap negara kita tidak sepadan."Araghchi juga berkata bahawa Tehran "sepenuhnya bersedia untuk perang" jika AS menyerang.Penyampaian Berita Pejabat Putera Putri Karoline Leavitt memberitahu wartawan bahawa diplomatik masih pilihan pertama Trump, tetapi bahawa presiden "telah menunjukkan dia tidak takut menggunakan pilihan militer jika dan apabila dia menganggap perlu, dan tiada satu pun yang lebih tahu tentang ini selain Iran.""Dia pastinya tidak ingin melihat orang-orang tewas di jalan-jalan Tehran. And unfortunately, that’s something we are seeing right now," tambahnya.Beribu-ribu demonstran pro-kerajaan juga memasuki jalan-jalan pada hari Isnin selepas beberapa hari protes yang menantang perintah Pengerusi Agung Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Televisyen negara Iran memutarkan sebutan dari kumpulan itu, yang bersuara "Mati kepada Amerika!" dan "Mati kepada Israel!" serta "Mati kepada musuh Allah!"Juru Cegah Hukum Iran telah mengeluarkan peringatan bahawa sesiapa yang terlibat dalam protes akan dianggap sebagai "musuh Allah", jenayah yang dipunuhi dengan hukuman mati.Trump mengumumkan pada hari Isnin bahawa negara-negara yang terlibat dalam akan menghadapi tarif 25% yang akan "berkesan segera" sebagai tindak balas terhadap pemerasan protes oleh Tehran.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

HKiNEDA Survey Reveals INEDs’ Confidence in Hong Kong’s Dual-Listing Surge and Digital Frontier ACN Newswire

HKiNEDA Survey Reveals INEDs’ Confidence in Hong Kong’s Dual-Listing Surge and Digital Frontier

January 12, 2026
HONG KONG, January 13, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – The Hong Kong Independent Non-Executive Director Association (“HKiNEDA”) has released results from its 2025 Survey Questionnaire, polling 167 INEDs, advisors, and executives on the evolving landscape of corporate governance in dual listings, digital assets, Web3, and AI risks. Conducted ahead of the HKiNEDA Annual Conference 2025 —“Opportunities and Challenges for Independent Non-Executive Directors (“INEDs”) in Dual Listing Wave, Digital Asset Era, Web 3 & AI-Driven Risk” — the survey highlights the critical role of independent directors in driving Hong Kong's competitiveness as an international financial hub, emphasizing innovation, compliance, and risk mitigation.Survey participants, blending INEDs, senior management, and professional advisors, are immersed in financial services alongside burgeoning tech and real estate sectors, with significant involvement in smaller and private firms that fuel market vitality. This cross-section reveals a governance network that's collaborative and expansive, empowering emerging companies to thrive in a competitive landscape.Dual listings stand out as a powerful accelerator for Hong Kong's capital markets, with respondents viewing them as a dynamic force that broadens global investor access, infuses fresh liquidity, and weaves the city more tightly into international financial networks — particularly through innovations like the Fast-Track for mainland enterprises, which expedite cross-border integrations. Here, INEDs play a linchpin role, leveraging their expertise to harmonize disparate listing regimes, monitor compliance across jurisdictions, and mitigate associated risks such as valuation discrepancies or geopolitical exposures, thereby propelling Hong Kong's evolution into a truly borderless hub that rivals global peers.In the digital asset arena, INEDs are hailed as architects of forward momentum, anticipating tokenization of real-world assets and stablecoins to revolutionize liquidity and accessibility, while championing government initiatives like regulatory frameworks and talent ecosystems as essential to securing Hong Kong's Web3 leadership. Their oversight ensures these innovations align with robust safeguards against money laundering and market volatility, blending opportunity with prudence to nurture an ecosystem where technological leaps enhance, rather than erode, investor trust.Yet, the survey's sharpest lens falls on AI-driven risks, where INEDs' role in enhancing corporate governance shines brightest: as resident experts, they empower boards to embed AI literacy through targeted upskilling, integrate ethical frameworks into core operations, and vigilantly track issues like algorithmic bias or data breaches within enterprise-wide risk systems. This holistic approach —prioritizing seamless mitigation over fragmented responses — positions INEDs as the ethical compass for AI adoption, fortifying boards against disruptions while unlocking innovation's full promise, ensuring Hong Kong firms lead with transparency and foresight.“From dual-listing bridges to digital leaps and AI safeguards, INEDs are Hong Kong's governance guardians,” said Mr Vincent Pang, Vice Chairman of Business Valuation Research and Survey Subcommittee of HKiNEDA. “This survey rallies us to harness these insights for enduring market strength.”Mr Rex Yeung, President of HKiNEDA (left) with Mr Vincent Pang, Vice Chairman of Business Valuation Research and Survey Subcommittee of HKiNEDAAbout The Hong Kong Independent Non-Executive Director AssociationThe Hong Kong Independent Non-Executive Director Association (HKiNEDA) is the non-profit organization representing independent non-executive directors in Greater China.

TOKYO, Japan, Jan 13, 2026 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Mitsubishi Corporation (”MC”) is pleased to announce that it has made an additional investment in Starlab Space LLC (“Starlab”), a leading candidate for participation (*1) in the Commercial SpaceStation Program (*2). As part of this investment, MC has also acquired the usage rights to the experimental module associated with the Commercial Space Station.Since 2008, the Japanese government has actively operated and utilized the Japanese Experiment Module Kibo aboard the International Space Station (“ISS”), continuously dispatching astronauts and fostering research and development across government agencies, private enterprises, and academic institutions. Kibo has played a pivotal role in advancing high-quality protein crystal generation experiments, contributing to the development of orphan drugs and biopharmaceuticals. It also enabled research into semiconductor materials that cannot be produced on Earth, establishing itself as a hub for technological innovation across diverse industries.Meanwhile, the ISS is expected to retire in the 2030s due to aging equipment. To ensure that Japan’s government, industry, and academia can continue space-based activities, it is essential to secure access to a new commercial space station. This station is being developed by U.S. private companies, under NASA’s leadership as the successor to the ISS. Strengthening collaboration with these U.S.-based space companies, which are potential operators of the new station, is an urgent priority for Japan.With this additional investment, MC will appoint a director to participate in the management of Starlab.Furthermore, by acquiring usage rights for the space station experimental module from Starlab, MC will continue to advance the development and expansion of space station utilization across various industries, such as semiconductors and life sciences, which have been key focus areas for MC since its investment in Starlab in April 2024. The use of this module will accelerate space-based research and development by Japanese research institutions and private companies. This includes progress in cancer and rare disease treatment through drug discovery and nanomedicine, the development of new materials, next-generation semiconductor manufacturing in a low-gravity environment, and innovations such as space-based computing technologies.Through additional investment in Starlab and the acquisition of usage rights for the space station experimental module, MC will contribute to the advancement of Japan's manned space activities, as promoted by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA). Additionally, by leveraging MC's experience in creating new businesses and building industrial interfaces, new opportunities will emerge for various industries to utilize the new Commercial Space Station, contributing to the development of Japan's space industry and broader space development efforts. MC also aims to address social challenges on Earth through space-based research and business activities.(*1) Starlab is one of the three companies selected from a pool of 11 applicants in a competitive bid conducted in 2021 under this program. As of February 2025, it has successfully completed all reviews for the four major development milestones set by NASA.(*2) A program promoted by NASA. Its goal is to ensure a smooth transition to the next-generation space station following the retirement of the ISS, which has been operated by government agencies around the world, primarily in the United States. The program supports the development of commercial space stations by selecting and funding private companies to promote commercial activities in low Earth orbit.

Perdana Menteri Cuba menentang, mengatakan tiada perundingan yang dijadualkan ketika Trump bergerak untuk memutuskan saluran minyak kewangan

Perdana Menteri Cuba menentang, mengatakan tiada perundingan yang dijadualkan ketika Trump bergerak untuk memutuskan saluran minyak

January 12, 2026
(SeaPRwire) - Perdana Menteri Cuba, Miguel Díaz-Canel, mengisytiharkan pada hari Isnin bahawa pentadbiran beliau tidak sedang berunding dengan Washington, walaupun Presiden memberi ancaman untuk mendesak Cuba untuk membuat perjanjian kerana minyak Venezuela tidak akan lagi dibekalkan."Tiada perbincangan dengan kerajaan AS, kecuali untuk hubungan teknikal dalam bidang migrasi," kata Díaz-Canel dalam sebuah pos di X.Díaz-Canel terus mengutuk AS, menuduhnya mengenakan tekanan musuh terhadap pulau itu, dan berinsistens bahawa perundingan hanya akan berlaku jika ia dijalankan mengikut undang-undang antarabangsa."Seperti yang ditunjukkan sejarah, hubungan antara AS dan Cuba, untuk maju, mesti berdasarkan pada Undang-Undang Antarabangsa bukannya berdasarkan pada perbuatan musuh, ancaman, dan penganiayaan ekonomi," katanya."Kami telah selalu bersedia untuk terlibat dalam dialog serius dan bertanggungjawab dengan pelbagai kerajaan Amerika Syarikat, termasuk kerajaan semasa, berdasarkan pada kesantunan perdana menteri, saling menghormati, prinsip Undang-Undang Antarabangsa, faedah timbal balik tanpa campur tangan dalam urusan dalaman dan dengan penuh menghormati terhadap kemerdekaan kita," tambah Canel.Pada hari Ahad, Trump mengisytiharkan bahawa Cuba tidak akan lagi mendapat minyak dari Venezuela, langkah yang akan memutuskan jalur hayat tenaga dan kewangan Cuba yang telah lama.Pengumuman itu datang selepas operasi mengejutkan pada 3 Januari di Venezuela, di mana tentera Amerika menangkap Presiden Nicolás Maduro dan dilaporkan ."TIADA MINYAK ATAU UANG YANG AKAN MASUK KE CUBA - SIFAR! Saya sangat menyarankan mereka membuat perjanjian, SEBELUM IYA TERLAMBAT," beliau memberi amaran.Cuba telah lama bergantung kepada minyak import untuk mengekalkan rangka elektrik yang semakin tua. Sebelum serangan AS terhadap Venezuela, Havana menerima 35,000 barel sehari dari Venezuela, kira-kira 7,500 dari Rusia dan kira-kira 5,500 barel sehari dari Mexico, lapor The Associated Press, mengikut ucapan Jorge Piñón daripada Institut Tenaga di Universiti Texas di Austin, yang mengesan penghantaran.Walaupun menerima impor minyak Venezuela, Cuba telah mengalami kejadian kehilangan kuasa elektrik secara meluas dalam beberapa tahun lepas kerana kekurangan bahan api yang berterusan, rangka elektrik yang semakin tua dan roboh, dan kerosakan akibat banjir kilat yang telah merosakkan infrastruktur pulau itu.Sehingga kini, dengan tekanan meningkat terhadap minyak Rusia dan Venezuela, kejadian kehilangan kuasa elektrik boleh menjadi lebih teruk kerana pemimpin Havana menolak panggilan Trump untuk membuat perjanjian.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Iran akan gantung peserta protes yang sekiranya menjadi eksekusi pertama yang berkaitan dengan demonstrasi anti rejim kewangan

Iran akan gantung peserta protes yang sekiranya menjadi eksekusi pertama yang berkaitan dengan demonstrasi anti rejim

January 12, 2026
(SeaPRwire) - Menurut kumpulan hak asasi manusia, Iran dilaporkan akan menjatuhkan hukuman mati kepada pengunjuk perasaan pertama yang berkaitan dengan penahanan besar-besaran akibat demonstrasi anti-rejim yang meluas.Erfan Soltani, 26 tahun, ditetapkan untuk digantung hingga mati pada hari Rabu selepas dia ditahan minggu lepas semasa protes di Karaj, kata badan NGO Iran Human Rights (IHRNGO) dan National Union for Democracy in Iran (NUFD)."Keluarganya diberitahu bahawa dia telah dijatuhi hukuman mati dan hukuman itu akan dilaksanakan pada 14 Januari," kata sumber kepada IHRNGO.Direktor IHRNGO Mahmood Amiry-Moghaddam berkata dalam satu kenyataan bahawa "pembunuhan besar-besaran pengunjuk perasaan awam dalam beberapa hari kebelakangan ini oleh mengingatkan kepada jenayah rejim pada tahun 1980-an, yang telah diiktiraf sebagai jenayah terhadap kemanusiaan.""Risiko eksekusi besar-besaran dan tanpa perbicaraan terhadap pengunjuk perasaan adalah amat serius," tambah kenyataan itu. "Di bawah Tanggungjawab untuk Melindungi, masyarakat antarabangsa mempunyai kewajipan untuk melindungi pengunjuk perasaan awam terhadap pembunuhan besar-besaran oleh Republik Islam dan Korps Pengawal Revolusi Islamnya. Kami menyeru rakyat dan masyarakat sivil di negara demokrasi untuk mengingatkan kerajaan mereka tentang tanggungjawab ini."NUFD menyeru sokongan antarabangsa untuk menangguhkan eksekusi Soltani, dengan menekankan bahawa "jenayahnya sahaja adalah meminta kebebasan" untuk Iran."Jadilah suara beliau," tulis kumpulan itu di X.Menurut NUFD, Soltani didakwa ditolak akses kepada peguam.Menurut The US Sun, Soltani dituduh dengan "melancarkan perang terhadap Tuhan," suatu jenayah yang dihukum mati di Iran.Eksekusi yang didakwa terhadap Soltani masih belum disahkan secara bebas di tengah-tengah sekatan komunikasi kerana pemimpin negara itu cuba menangkis perbezaan pendapat.Menurut kumpulan hak asasi manusia, lebih daripada 10,000 orang telah dilaporkan ditahan dalam beberapa minggu kebelakangan ini kerana mengambil bahagian dalam protes anti-kerajaan yang dicetuskan oleh ekonomi Iran yang gagal, dan ramai telah mula menuntut perubahan rejim total apabila demonstrasi berterusan.Kata kumpulan hak asasi manusia, tindakan tegas Tehran terhadap demonstrasi juga telah menyebabkan lebih daripada 500 kematian.Presiden AS telah memberi amaran kepada Tehran bahawa keganasan terhadap pengunjuk perasaan akan dijawab dengan tindak balas ketenteraan AS, dengan mengatakan pada hari Jumaat bahawa mereka "lebih baik tidak mula menembak, kerana kami juga akan mula menembak.""Iran sedang melihat KEBEBASAN, mungkin seperti tidak pernah sebelum ini. AS bersedia membantu!!!" tulis Trump di Truth Social pada hari Sabtu.White House mengesahkan pada hari Isnin bahawa Trump sedang mempertimbangkan sama ada untuk mengebom Iran.Setiausaha Akhbar White House Karoline Leavitt memberitahu wartawan bahawa diplomasi masih merupakan pilihan pertama Trump, tetapi bahawa presiden "telah menunjukkan dia tidak takut untuk menggunakan pilihan ketenteraan jika dan apabila dia menganggap perlu.""Dia pastinya tidak mahu melihat orang-orang dibunuh di jalan-jalan Tehran. Dan malangnya itu adalah sesuatu yang kita lihat sekarang," tambahnya.Tetapi ramai Ahli Parlimen, termasuk beberapa dalam Parti Republik, telah mengkritik ancaman presiden untuk mengebom Iran, dengan beberapa orang berhujah bahawa dia memerlukan kelulusan daripada Kongres di bawah Perlembagaan, bahawa AS tidak harus terlibat dalam urusan asing lain dan bahawa tindakan ketenteraan boleh mengumpulkan pengunjuk perasaan Iran di belakang Ayatollah."Kami ingin yang terbaik untuk mereka," kata Sen. , R-Ky., pada hari Ahad. "Kami ingin yang terbaik untuk kebebasan dan pembebasan di seluruh dunia, tetapi saya tidak fikir ia adalah tugas kerajaan Amerika untuk terlibat dengan setiap gerakan kebebasan di seluruh dunia … Jika anda mengebom kerajaan, adakah anda kemudian mengumpulkan orang-orang ke bendera mereka yang kecewa dengan Ayatollah, tetapi kemudian berkata, 'Nah, astaga, kita tidak boleh mempunyai kerajaan asing menyerang atau mengebom negara kita?' Ia cenderung untuk membuat orang-orang menyokong tujuan itu.""Selain itu, terdapat perkara yang menyekat dalam Perlembagaan bahawa kita tidak akan membenarkan presiden mengebom negara hanya apabila mereka mahu," tambahnya. "Mereka sepatutnya meminta izin daripada rakyat, melalui Kongres."Pegawai Iran telah mengancam untuk membalas dendam terhadap tentera AS di rantau itu jika Pentagon menyerang, dengan Menteri Luar Negeri Abbas Araghchi berkata bahawa Tehran "sepenuhnya bersedia untuk perang."Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

For more information, visit www.nuvationbio.com or follow the company on LinkedIn and X (@nuvationbioinc).About the TRUST Clinical ProgramThe TRUST clinical program comprises three registrational studies evaluating the safety and efficacy of taletrectinib. TRUST-I (NCT04395677) and TRUST-II (NCT04919811) are Phase 2 single-arm studies evaluating taletrectinib for the treatment of adults with advanced ROS1+ NSCLC in China (N=173) and globally (N=189), respectively. The primary endpoint of both studies is confirmed objective response rate (cORR) as assessed by an independent review committee. TRUST-IV (NCT07154706) is a Phase 3 placebo-controlled study evaluating taletrectinib for the adjuvant treatment of adults with resected early-stage ROS1+ NSCLC. The study will enroll approximately 180 patients in the U.S., Canada, Europe, Japan and China. The primary endpoint is disease-free survival as determined by investigator, and the primary completion date is estimated to be in 2030. Nuvation Bio is also sponsoring TRUST-III (NCT06564324), a confirmatory randomized Phase 3 study evaluating taletrectinib versus crizotinib in 138 patients in China with advanced ROS1+ NSCLC who have not previously received ROS1 TKIs.U.S. IndicationIBTROZI is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic ROS1+ nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC).IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION FOR IBTROZI® (taletrectinib)WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONSHepatotoxicity: Hepatotoxicity, including drug-induced liver injury and fatal adverse reactions, can occur. 88% of patients experienced increased AST, including 10% Grade 3/4. 85% of patients experienced increased ALT, including 13% Grade 3/4. Fatal liver events occurred in 0.6% of patients. Median time to first onset of AST or ALT elevation was 15 days (range: 3 days to 20.8 months).Increased AST or ALT each led to dose interruption in 7% of patients and dose reduction in 5% and 9% of patients, respectively. Permanent discontinuation was caused by increased AST, ALT, or bilirubin each in 0.3% and by hepatotoxicity in 0.6% of patients.Concurrent elevations in AST or ALT ≥3 times the ULN and total bilirubin ≥2 times the ULN, with normal alkaline phosphatase, occurred in 0.6% of patients.Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD)/Pneumonitis: Severe, life-threatening, or fatal ILD or pneumonitis can occur. ILD/pneumonitis occurred in 2.3% of patients, including 1.1% Grade 3/4. One fatal ILD case occurred at the 400 mg daily dose. Median time to first onset of ILD/pneumonitis was 3.8 months (range: 12 days to 11.8 months).ILD/pneumonitis led to dose interruption in 1.1% of patients, dose reduction in 0.6% of patients, and permanent discontinuation in 0.6% of patients.QTc Interval Prolongation: QTc interval prolongation can occur, which can increase the risk for ventricular tachyarrhythmias (e.g., torsades de pointes) or sudden death. IBTROZI prolongs the QTc interval in a concentration-dependent manner.In patients who received IBTROZI and underwent at least one post baseline ECG, QTcF increase of >60 msec compared to baseline and QTcF >500 msec occurred in 13% and 2.6% of patients, respectively. 3.4% of patients experienced Grade ≥3. Median time from first dose of IBTROZI to onset of ECG QT prolongation was 22 days (range: 1 day to 38.7 months). Dose interruption and dose reduction each occurred in 2.8% of patients.Significant QTc interval prolongation may occur when IBTROZI is taken with food, strong and moderate CYP3A inhibitors, and/or drugs with a known potential to prolong QTc. Administer IBTROZI on an empty stomach. Avoid concomitant use with strong and moderate CYP3A inhibitors and/or drugs with a known potential to prolong QTc.Hyperuricemia: Hyperuricemia can occur and was reported in 14% of patients, with 16% of these requiring urate-lowering medication without pre-existing gout or hyperuricemia. 0.3% of patients experienced Grade ≥3. Median time to first onset was 2.1 months (range: 7 days to 35.8 months). Dose interruption occurred in 0.3% of patients.Myalgia with Creatine Phosphokinase (CPK) Elevation: Myalgia with or without CPK elevation can occur. Myalgia occurred in 10% of patients. Median time to first onset was 11 days (range: 2 days to 10 months).Concurrent myalgia with increased CPK within a 7-day time period occurred in 0.9% of patients. Dose interruption occurred in 0.3% of patients with myalgia and concurrent CPK elevation.Skeletal Fractures: IBTROZI can increase the risk of fractures. ROS1 inhibitors as a class have been associated with skeletal fractures. 3.4% of patients experienced fractures, including 1.4% Grade 3. Some fractures occurred in the setting of a fall or other predisposing factors. Median time to first onset of fracture was 10.7 months (range: 26 days to 29.1 months). Dose interruption occurred in 0.3% of patients.Embryo-Fetal Toxicity: Based on literature, animal studies, and its mechanism of action, IBTROZI can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman.ADVERSE REACTIONSAmong patients who received IBTROZI, the most frequently reported adverse reactions (≥20%) were diarrhea (64%), nausea (47%), vomiting (43%), dizziness (22%), rash (22%), constipation (21%), and fatigue (20%). The most frequently reported Grade 3/4 laboratory abnormalities (≥5%) were increased ALT (13%), increased AST (10%), decreased neutrophils (5%), and increased creatine phosphokinase (5%). DRUG INTERACTIONSStrong and Moderate CYP3A Inhibitors/CYP3A Inducers and Drugs that Prolong the QTc Interval: Avoid concomitant useGastric Acid Reducing Agents: Avoid concomitant use with PPIs and H2 receptor antagonists. If an acid-reducing agent cannot be avoided, administer locally acting antacids at least 2 hours before or 2 hours after taking IBTROZI.OTHER CONSIDERATIONSPregnancy: Please see important information in Warnings and Precautions under EmbryoFetal Toxicity. Lactation: Advise women not to breastfeed during treatment and for 3 weeks after the last dose.Effect on Fertility: Based on findings in animals, IBTROZI may impair fertility in males and females. The effects on animal fertility were reversible.Pediatric Use: The safety and effectiveness of IBTROZI in pediatric patients has not been established.Photosensitivity: IBTROZI can cause photosensitivity. Advise patients to minimize sun exposure and to use sun protection, including broad-spectrum sunscreen, during treatment and for at least 5 days after discontinuation.Please see accompanying full U.S. Prescribing Information.Forward-Looking Statements of Nuvation Bio Inc.Certain statements included in this press release that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements for purposes of the safe harbor provisions under the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

Adakah kebebasan kepimpinan Fed Powell sudah tiada? Ia hanya satu lagi muslihat mengalih perhatian ketika Trump terpaksa mengalami akibat dari kecerdikannya sendiri

January 12, 2026
(SeaPRwire) - Satu-satunya perkara yang mengejutkan mengenai Presiden Trump yang melancarkan penyiasat federal untuk menyediakan tuduhan jenayah pendakwaan yang berpotensi terhadap Pengerusi Federal Reserve yang sangat dihormati Jay Powell — seorang pelantikannya sendiri — ialah bahawa sesiapa pun yang terkejut dengan berita ini. Pasaran kewangan pada mulanya merosot sebelum pulih semula apabila pelabur mengabaikan Jabatan Kehakiman Trump sebagai omongan yang tidak berkesan seorang presiden yang hampir tamat tempoh, sementara celahan terbuka dalam GOP, dengan kebimbangan terbuka mengenai kebebasan suci kedua-dua DOJ dan juga Federal Reserve. Sebagai contoh, seorang Republikan terkemuka dari Jawatankuasa Perbankan Senat menegaskan bahawa “Sekarang ini, kebebasan dan kredibiliti Jabatan Kehakiman yang dipertikaikan.” Serupa, seorang Republikan, pengerusi Jawatankuasa Perkhidmatan Kewangan Dewan Rakyat, menyebut penyiasatan itu sebagai “gangguan yang tidak perlu yang boleh merosakkan Pentadbiran ini dan keputusan monetari yang kukuh.” Malah, Menteri Kewangan Trump sendiri, Scott Bessent, menentang Trump mengenai “siasatan balas dendam” beliau terhadap Powell. Gelombang pendakwaan berurutan dan dramatik terhadap individu-individu seperti bekas Penasihat Keselamatan Negara beliau John Bolton, bekas ketua FBI James Comey dan Christopher Wray, Peguam Negara Negeri New York Letitia James, bekas ketua CIA John Brennan, Gubernur Federal Reserve Lisa Cook, bekas pegawai Keselamatan Dalam Negeri Miles Taylor, Senator Adam Schiff, ketua keselamatan siber Christoper Krebs dan bekas peguam khas Jack Smith, antara lain, adalah membimbangkan. Seperti yang ditunjukkan dalam mesejnya, Trump secara peribadi mengarahkan pendakwaan tersebut, menunjukkan penggunaan badan kehakiman sebagai senjata terhadap lawan politik yang dianggap. Sesetengah pengkritik melihat ini sebagai perangai impulsif dan emosi Ratu Hati yang gila dalam Alice in Wonderland, yang menjerit “gulingkan kepala mereka” terhadap mana-mana yang membangkangnya. Apa yang terlepas dalam tanggapan itu ialah langkah-langkah ini jauh lebih disengajakan, sebahagian daripada corak taktikal yang besar. Tuduhan terhadap Powell bahawa dia berbohong kepada Kongres kerana lebihan kos pembinaan semula bangunan adalah tidak masuk akal dan pasti akan ditolak di mahkamah. Diduga lebihan kos 40% mungkin benar tetapi ia bukan jenayah, apatah lagi lalai. Pembinaan semula Fed sebenar itu menelan kos $2.5 bilion, iaitu 40% melebihi belanjawan kerana inflasi kos, manakala Trump mengaku bulan lepas bahawa pembongkaran dan pembinaan ballroom baharu di Sayap Timur Rumah Putih beliau telah melebihi belanjawan. Itu benar-benar mengejutkan, kerana projek ini baru dimulakan enam bulan lalu dan Trump, sebagai seorang pembina sendiri, sepatutnya tahu bagaimana menganggarkan pembinaan dengan tepat. Kos pembinaan semula Fed tidak terlalu tinggi, memandangkan ini adalah pembinaan semula komprehensif pertama dalam kira-kira 90 tahun sejak bangunan Marriner Eccles dibina pada 1937. Sebaliknya, bangunan pejabat Senat Hart, Russell, dan Dirksen yang berdekatan serta bangunan pejabat Dewan Rakyat Cannon telah terus menjalani pembinaan semula besar-besaran selama beberapa dekad. Selain itu, tanpa mengira sifat lebihan kos biasa ini, tiada sepeninggit pun daripada dana pembayar cukai AS. Fed membiayai pembinaan semula ini daripada belanjawan sendiri kerana Fed sepenuhnya mandiri secara operasi, kebanyakannya dibiayai oleh pendapatan pelaburan sendiri daripada bon Perbendaharaan AS yang dimilikinya — bukan dana cukai yang dialokasikan oleh Kongres. Serangan mengejut yang salah sasaran Trump telah cuba menyerang mengejut Powell di TV nasional musim panas ini, semasa lawatan ke tapak pembinaan, tetapi ia gagal, dengan Trump memalukan diri sendiri dan Powell ...— dakwaan Trump bahawa pembinaan semula telah meningkat kepada $3.1 bilion dengan cepat terbukti salah oleh pengerusi Fed, yang menunjukkan bahawa angka itu termasuk pembinaan semula bangunan lain yang sudah siap. Di permukaan, Trump marah kerana Federal Reserve tidak memotong kadar faedah dengan lebih cepat dan lebih jauh, dan inilah sebabnya pengerusi ... menjelaskan mengapa beliau disasarkan: “Ancaman baru ini bukan tentang keterangan saya Jun lepas atau tentang pembinaan semula bangunan Federal Reserve … Itu adalah alasan palsu. Ancaman tuduhan jenayah adalah akibat daripada Federal Reserve menetapkan kadar faedah berdasarkan penilaian terbaik kami tentang apa yang akan memberi manfaat kepada orang ramai, bukannya mengikuti kehendak Presiden.” Sepenuhnya 71% daripada 200 ketua eksekutif di Sidang Ketua Eksekutif Yale baru-baru ini mengadu bahawa Trump telah merosakkan kebebasan Federal Reserve melalui tindakan yang diambil oleh pentadbiran Trump, dan 81% menyatakan bahawa mereka lebih memilih Gubernur Chris Waller sebagai pengganti Powell apabila tempoh pengerusinya tamat musim bunga ini, dengan menganggap beliau akan memperkukuhkan kebebasan Fed. Jadi, jika serangan perundangan ini bukanlah perangai kemarahan impulsif, apakah alasan strategiknya? Seperti dakwaan palsu Trump bulan ini bahawa serangan ke Venezuela didorong oleh kepentingan awal pengeluar minyak AS, yang mereka tanggalkan dengan tegas. mendakwa Venezuela “tidak boleh dilaburkan,” ini adalah muslihat mengalih perhatian daripada Trump. Dalam buku baru yang akan datang, Trump’s Ten Commandments (Simon & Schuster), kami melabelkan ini sebagai taktik “Dinding Bunyi” Trump untuk mengubah naratif awam daripada tinjauan pendapatnya yang lemah, tinjauan nasional akhir tahun yang melaporkan hanya 36% daripada negara yang menyetujui prestasinya, dan tinjauan pendapat yang menunjukkan 57% tidak setuju — dengan lebih separuh daripada pengundi MAGA/Trump sendiri tidak menyokong Trump dalam pengendalian fail Epstein dan kebolehjangkauan, penjagaan kesihatan, dan taktik ICE/imigresen, yang telah jatuh kepada 30% dalam tinjauan pendapat baru-baru ini. Dan Trump telah berjaya dalam misinya untuk membuat setiap saluran media menghentikan serangan 24/7 terhadap kelemahannya dalam dasar domestik yang penting. Tambahan pula, beliau menarik tiga tuas lain dalam muslihat mengalih perhatian Fed/Powell ini — beliau menggunakan model kepimpinan “hub & spoke” di mana tiada agensi kawalan yang bebas, penghancuran lawan dengan pembalasan selektif, dan manipulasi cekap alat propaganda komunikasi massa klasik “kesan tidur,” di mana mesej palsu diulang secara tidak henti dan berazam, sehingga akhirnya mendapat tempat. Ini adalah empat daripada 10 alat dalam peralatan Trump yang kami labelkan sebagai “Sepuluh Perintah” beliau. Dia memilihnya secara disengajakan dan bukan secara impulsif, walaupun beliau bongkak. Trump jauh daripada tuli atau bodoh. Dia bodoh seperti rubah, tetapi walaupun rubah, secara amnya simbol kecerdasan dan kelicikan, akhirnya menjadi mangsa kepandaian mereka yang mereka anggap.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.
