China’s Principled Stance amidst Intensifying U.S.-Iran Tensions
Following the drumbeats of war in the Middle East for weeks, the U.S.-Israeli missile strikes against Iran and the latter’s retaliation did not come as a surprise, but the survivability of the Iranian regime is now at question. Equally unsure is this whether this conflict will spread over the region and more countries might be dragged in.

⚔️ WAR UPDATE: Russia says it downs 172 Ukrainian drones overnight
Russia’s Defence Ministry says its air defence systems shot down 172 Ukrainian drones in multiple regions overnight, marking one of the largest reported drone attacks in recent months. According to Russian officials, the interceptions took place across border areas and deeper inside Russian territory, though details about damage or casualties were limited.
Authorities said emergency services were deployed to assess debris and possible infrastructure impact. Moscow has repeatedly accused Kyiv of escalating cross-border drone strikes targeting military and energy facilities.
Ukraine has not immediately commented on the specific claim. Kyiv typically says its drone operations focus on military and logistical targets linked to Russia’s war effort.
The reported scale of interceptions highlights the growing role of drone warfare in the conflict, with both sides increasingly relying on unmanned aerial systems for long-range strikes.

🚨🇮🇷 Who is senior cleric Ayatollah Alireza Arafi: Iran's interim supreme leader
Ayatollah Alireza Arafi has been appointed as the jurist member of the temporary leadership council responsible for carrying out the Supreme Leader’s duties during the transition period until a successor is chosen under Iran’s constitutional process.
📰 Childhood & early education
▪️Born in 1959 in Qom, Alireza Arafi was raised in the heart of Iran’s religious establishment.
▪️From a young age, he entered the traditional hawza seminary system, immersing himself in advanced Shiite jurisprudence and theology.
▪️Growing up in Qom, the epicenter of Iran’s clerical power, positioned him within the core networks that shape the Islamic Republic’s ideological foundations.
📈 Rise to prominence
▪️Arafi steadily climbed the ranks of Iran’s religious hierarchy, eventually becoming head of Iran’s seminaries, a highly influential post overseeing clerical education both domestically and internationally.
▪️His role expanded his influence across Iran’s religious institutions and strengthened his ties to the political establishment.
▪️He later secured a seat on the powerful Guardian Council; the constitutional body that vets election candidates and reviews legislation; further consolidating his standing within Iran’s ruling structure.
⚖️ Interim leadership role & political significance
▪️Under Iran’s constitutional mechanism, the interim leadership council consists of the President, the Chief Justice, and a cleric from the Guardian Council. This three-member body assumes collective leadership responsibilities following the death of the Supreme Leader, ensuring continuity of governance during the transition phase.
▪️Arafi will serve alongside President Masoud Pezeshkian and Chief Justice Gholamhossein Mohseni-Ejei on the Interim Council.
▪️The 67-year-old cleric’s inclusion was confirmed by the Expediency Council, formally placing him within the highest transitional authority structure of the Islamic Republic.
▪️Expediency Council spokesman Mohsen Dehnavi announced the appointment on X (formerly Twitter), marking Arafi’s entry into one of the most sensitive and consequential roles in Iran’s political system.
▪️With this appointment, Arafi moves from being a powerful institutional cleric to a central figure managing Iran’s leadership transition; a development that could significantly shape the country’s future trajectory.
