‘100% wrong’ to think talks with ‘the enemy’ US will benefit Iran – Supreme Leader Khamenei

‘100% wrong’ to think talks with ‘the enemy’ US will benefit Iran - Supreme Leader Khamenei Iran will continue to reject talks with Washington because such negotiations would have no benefit for the Islamic Republic, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has argued.

Those who believe that negotiations with the enemy will solve our problems are 100% wrong," Khamenei said. The United States has “always borne hostility towards Iran” and that this policy would never change, he added. Relations between Tehran and Washington have plummeted over the past year, following US President Donald Trump’s unilateral withdrawal fr...

DoD’s new guidelines call for ‘ethical use’ of military AI but stop short of calling for a ban The Pentagon’s advisory body has released a set of “AI ethics” guidelines for the “responsible” use of autonomous weapons, but will it stop the emergence of soulless killing machines? Around the world, artificial intelligence is steadily becoming a factor that will define future warfare. As the militaries of major powers are looking at its advantages, scholars and some tech leaders are sounding the alarm – they warn that if installed on weapons systems, AI could eventually learn how to wage hostilities on their own or take independent decisions during combat. The US Department of Defense (DoD) is seeking to alleviate these fears. The Defense Innovation Boa...

FBI only cares about ‘protecting the ruling class’: Lee Camp roasts feds for targeting left-wing groups that threaten status quo A new report has accused the FBI of disproportionately targeting left-wing activists, even though right-wing extremism poses a far greater threat to national security. Par for the course, according to Lee Camp. Defending Rights & Dissent, a civil liberties group, cataloged known instances of First Amendment abuses and political surveillance by the FBI since 2010. The organization found that the feds devoted disproportionate resources to spy on peaceful left-leaning civil society groups, including Occupy Wall Street, Abolish ICE, and various anti-war movements. The bureau seemed less interested in right-wingers, even th...

However, only a small portion of Saudi Aramco – a total of five percent – is expected to be auctioned off.
