More fascinating detail about the plot to recruit former Iranian president Ahmadinejad to lead efforts at regime change. Even more interesting is the fact that, unlike Khatami and Rouhani, Ahmadinejad was permitted to attend Khamenei’s funeral

Heartbreaking news. Our beloved Sam Neil died suddenly in Sydney today. Sam was not just a wonderful actor but also the most charming, kind, intelligent & deliciously self-deprecating friend. His wry, dry humour & mischievous twinkle lit up our lives. He'll be so dearly missed.
