Vancouver, British Columbia--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - February 26, 2026) - Casa Minerals Inc. (TSXV: CASA) (OTCQB: CASXF) (FSE: 0CM) (the "Company" or "Casa") is pleased to provide a corporate update and announce its plans for an expanded exploration program in 2026 across its mineral properties in Arizona, USA and British Columbia, Canada.2026 EXPLORATION STRATEGYIn response to strengthening global demand for resources and commodities, Casa is advancing aggressive exploration and development plans for its key mineral assets:Congress Gold Mine Project (Arizona, USA) - Advanced exploration and development targeting gold, silver, and copper mineralizationArsenault Gold-Copper Project (British Columbia, Canada) - Copper-gold-silver exploration with advanced geophysical targetingThe Company's strategic positioning with projects spanning two jurisdictions provides operational flexibility to maintain active exploration programs throughout the year across multiple properties.CONGRESS GOLD MINE PROJECT UPDATEThe Congress Gold Mine, historically one of Arizona's largest gold-silver producers, represents an advanced exploration opportunity with substantial historic production data.Historic Resource Context:Historic operators reported resource estimates and production figures for the Congress Gold Mine. These historic estimates are disclosed solely for context and have not been verified by a current Qualified Person. The historic estimates do not conform to current NI 43-101 standards, are not classified as current mineral resources or mineral reserves, and should not be relied upon. A qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the historic estimates as current mineral resources or mineral reserves, and Casa is not treating the historic estimates as current mineral resources or mineral reserves.Previous operators including Echo Bay Mines reported estimates in the range of 400,000 to 500,000 tons at grades of approximately 0.3 opt (9.33 g/t) gold in certain zones. The mine historically produced approximately 400,000 to 500,000 ounces of gold during intermittent operations through 1992.2026 Exploration Objectives:Casa's 2026 program at Congress aims to:Conduct systematic drilling to bring the project and its extended potential mineralization to NI 43-101 compliant resource standardsBuild upon the Company's confirmatory drill programs that have validated portions of the historic dataDefine a clear pathway for rapid resource definition and project advancementExpand exploration in priority target areas identified through compilation of historic data and recent drillingThe Company's confirmatory drilling to date, combined with extensive historic data compilation, has established a framework for systematic resource delineation in accordance with modern standards.ARSENAULT PROJECT UPDATEThe Arsenault copper-gold-silver project in northern British Columbia has advanced significantly following the completion of a state-of-the-art 3D Induced Polarization (IP) geophysical survey in 2025.2025 3D IP Survey Results:The recently completed 3D ground-based IP survey has generated compelling geophysical signatures that management, with extensive experience in similar geological settings, considers highly prospective. Key highlights include:Significant chargeability anomalies indicating potential sulphide mineralizationThree-dimensional geophysical signatures with substantial scale and continuityStrong correlation with previous airborne electromagnetic survey results from 2017Multiple high-priority drill targets identifiedThe IP survey covered approximately 12 square kilometers with 60 km of survey lines utilizing high-density data acquisition with state-of-the-art instrumentation.2026 Exploration Plans:Detailed exploration planning is underway for both properties. The Company anticipates releasing comprehensive technical details and specific program parameters for the Congress and Arsenault projects in follow-up news releases as planning is finalized.MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY"Casa is well-positioned to capitalize on the strengthening commodities market with two highly prospective projects at different stages of advancement," stated Farshad Shirvani, President and CEO. "At Congress, we have a clear path forward to define resources to modern standards on a historically productive gold system. At Arsenault, our recent geophysical work has identified compelling drill targets with signatures our team has successfully followed to discovery in similar settings. We look forward to an active 2026 field season across both properties."QUALIFIED PERSONMr. Erik Ostensoe, P.Geo., a Director and Chief Geologist of the Company, a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101, has reviewed and approved the scientific and technical disclosure in this news release.ABOUT CASA MINERALS INC.Casa Minerals Inc. is a mineral exploration company focused on gold, copper, and strategic minerals exploration in North America.

The University of Tokyo, NTT, and NEC demonstrate real-time augmented reality assistance made possible by integrating three newly proposed technologies on a 6G/IOWN platform to realize the widespread use of AI agents supporting safety and security JCN Newswire

The University of Tokyo, NTT, and NEC demonstrate real-time augmented reality assistance made possible by integrating three newly proposed technologies on a 6G/IOWN platform to realize the widespread use of AI agents supporting safety and security

Highlights:Integration of the proposed technologies will help address the transmission and computational infrastructure challenges faced when implementing AI agents.This trial verified the effectiveness of optimizing the transmission and computational processing of high-volume data handled by AI agents.This initiative has been selected for exhibition at the Japan Pavilion at MWC 2026, where the research findings and underlying concept will be presented to an international audience.TOKYO, Japan, Feb 26, 2026 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The Graduate School of Engineering, The University of Tokyo (Tokyo; Dean of the Graduate School of Engineering: Professor Yasuhiro Kato; Head of the Nakao Research Laboratory: Professor Akihiro Nakao; hereinafter "The University of Tokyo"), NTT, Inc. (Headquarters: Tokyo; President and CEO: Akira Shimada; hereinafter "NTT"), and NEC Corporation (Headquarters: Tokyo; President and CEO Takayuki Morita; hereinafter "NEC") have integrated three newly proposed technologies on a 6G(*1)/IOWN(*2) platform to realize the widespread use of AI agents(*3) supporting a safer and more secure society. Through this initiative, the three parties have combined streaming semantic communication technology(*4), AI-oriented media control technology(*5), and In-Network Computing (INC) architecture technology(*6) to optimize the high-volume data transmission and computational processing required for AI agents. The effectiveness of these technologies has been quantitatively verified through a trial, and plans are slated for this initiative to be showcased at the Mobile World Congress 2026 (MWC 2026) Japan Pavilion, where the research findings and underlying concept will be presented to an international audience.Figure 1. Overview of the technologies integrated on the 6G/IOWN platform1. Background and significance of this three-party collaborationInternational collaboration and global standardization are vital to the advancement of telecommunications, which serves as a universal platform accessible to anyone, anywhere in the world, and should therefore be considered from a global value perspective. In recent years, the importance of safety and security has grown, as both offer global value.To realize a safer and more secure society, the ability to quickly perceive and take appropriate action in response to disasters, accidents, cyberattacks, and other rapidly evolving situations is imperative. However, relying solely on personnel and predefined rules to respond to such situations has its limitations, making the use of AI essential. Utilizing AI agents enables autonomous, real-time perception of the situation at hand, helping to prevent potential damage and minimize the impact of any damage that does occur.Meanwhile, next-generation ICT infrastructure capable of processing and transmitting massive amounts of data with low latency and high reliability is vital to enhancing the functionality of AI agents.Against this backdrop, The University of Tokyo, NTT, and NEC—all three of which possess strengths in 6G and IOWN—have united under The University of Tokyo’s Social Cooperation Program to conduct research and development on 6G and IOWN platform technologies to realize AI agents supporting safety and security.2. Research backgroundWhile the use of AI in recent years has primarily centered on models that act based on human prompts, the utilization of AI agents capable of acting autonomously based on sensor data and other non-human-originated inputs without relying on specific instructions from human operators is expected to become increasingly common in the society of the future. In turn, these advancements will enable the realization of AI agents that support safety and security by continuously collecting and monitoring data from the surrounding environment and responding in real time when signs of abnormalities are detected.However, the expanded use of continuously operating AI agents will cause the amount of multimodal data(*7) to skyrocket, and existing ICT infrastructure is not equipped to support such a drastic increase in data due to the technological challenges listed below.(1) Insufficient wireless bandwidthContinuous transmission of vast amounts of data from countless sensors and devices makes it difficult to secure sufficient wireless bandwidth.(2) Increasing computational load due to round-the-clock AI processing of sensor dataIf all sensor data is continuously processed using computationally intensive AI, it will cause an excessive computational load, making it difficult to respond in real time.(3) Increasing computational load and power consumption with large-scale AILarge-scale AI is required to analyze a wide range of sensor data, thereby increasing the need for computational capabilities and electrical power.3. Technology highlightsIn this research, the three parties proposed the following technological approaches to resolve the aforementioned challenges.(1) Streaming semantic communication technology (The University of Tokyo)This applied form of semantic communication detects contextual changes and transmits only semantic differences, thereby reducing wireless communication resources dramatically.(2) AI-oriented media control technology (NEC)Assigning a data identifier to an AI agent and then selectively feeding only key sensor data to the AI agent reduces the computational resources required for inference. Learning inference results from the AI agent, the data identifier is able to identify critical sensor data.(3) In-Network Computing (INC) architecture technology (NTT)Rather than relying on a single massive AI model, highly efficient and reliable AI processing is made possible by combining small, specialized AI distributed across the network with external information sources.Figure 2. Technological challenges and the proposed approach4. Trial OverviewThis trial was conducted to verify the impact of the proposed technologies in terms of reducing latency through the improvement of transmission and computational processing efficiency, taking into account the characteristics of end-to-end latency(*8) (E2E latency) when using AI agents. In this trial, a video dataset including critical situations (60 seconds; 1,800 frames) was used to conduct a phase-by-phase evaluation of the configuration with which an AI agent processes video input from sensors. The intended use cases are scenarios requiring real-time performance where an AI agent continuously monitors the surroundings of a user wearing augmented reality (AR) glasses to identify environmental and contextual changes that can be used to predict and assess risk indicators.First, the latency characteristics in a configuration where all frames fed from a sensor were sequentially processed using AI were assessed as a preliminary evaluation. The results confirmed that processing wait time increases cumulatively with each frame, resulting in a tendency for E2E latency to build over time. This implies an increase in the amount of time it takes from the occurrence of a critical situation in front of the user until assessment results and guidance are provided, thus revealing that this could pose an issue in use cases involving real-time AR assistance.Next, on the basis of the results of the preliminary evaluation, a system configuration was assessed in which the proposed technology was applied in this trial. The evaluation confirmed that both communication traffic and computational load were reduced, and that E2E latency could be maintained at an almost constant level throughout the entire video stream. In addition, no tendency was observed for processing wait times to increase cumulatively. Furthermore, no degradation in AI inference accuracy was detected as a result of applying the proposed technology. These results demonstrate that, for this use case, which requires real-time performance, the proposed technology can stably reduce E2E latency while maintaining AI inference accuracy. Figure 3.1.

The recovery was supported by a strengthening stock market, steady growth in inbound tourism and an increasing number of mega-events. These improvements were further underpinned by a considerable decline in the Hong Kong Interbank Offered Rate ("HIBOR"), which boosted homeowner disposable income and lowered corporate borrowing costs.However, the operating environment for the Trust remained challenging. Abundant office supply in the market continued to weigh on market rents, while the retail market is undergoing structural adjustment due to evolving consumer behaviour and a sustained increase in outbound travel by local residents. Against this backdrop, asset quality becomes even more critical, underscoring the importance of proactively optimising the tenant mix to navigate cyclical volatility.Three Garden RoadThe leasing momentum of Central Grade A office strengthened starting the third quarter of 2025 with increasing net absorption. Demand was supported by the upswing in initial public offerings ("IPOs") and solid equity market performance with higher daily turnover. Expansion and pre-leasing commitment of sizable areas by financial institutions signalled confidence in the market outlook. The active capital market activities also created spillover effect for other sectors with notable leasing transactions of relocation and expansion from the legal sector in particular.Leasing activity at Three Garden Road strengthened in 2025. Site inspections in second half of 2025 increased by 61% year-on-year, resulting in several new tenants from the asset management and family office sectors. Occupancy remained stable at 81.6% (31 December 2024: 82.6%), with space vacated by departing occupants largely backfilled by new leases and expansions from existing tenants. Our proactive retention strategy continued to deliver results, securing renewals for over 75% of 2026 expiring leases, thereby enhancing stability and forward visibility.Langham Place Office TowerLangham Place Office continued to deepen its differentiated positioning as a premier hub for wellness and lifestyle offerings. By expanding the “6D Wellness” ecosystem, the property enhanced tenant engagement and broadened its digital reach, with the wellness channel surpassing 4.6 million cumulative views across major social media platforms. With the launch of the Social Wellness Hall, and in collaboration with the Hong Kong Retail Management Association to introduce Hong Kong’s first “Quality Service Charter” for wellness practitioners, which received support from over 90% of wellness tenants, the property further strengthened its market profile as a premium hub for wellness services.Amid a challenging office market, Langham Place Office Tower adopted a prudent yet proactive leasing strategy, continuing to attract healthcare, medical and beauty operators while fostering industry clustering and complementarities. These efforts enhanced the diversity and resilience of the tenant mix, further reinforcing the property’s positioning as a leading destination for premium wellness and healthcare services. It remains a premier choice for location-sensitive businesses, maintaining a stable occupancy rate of 86.9% (31 December 2024: 87.2%).Langham Place MallHong Kong’s retail market began to recover and gain momentum following the Golden Week in May in 2025. Supported by the influx of visitors and a vibrant calendar of mega-events, total retail sales resumed growth after more than a year of contraction. For the full year, overall retail sales in Hong Kong increased by 1.0% year-on-year, driven primarily by a 12.8% rise in online sales. Against the backdrop of evolving consumer patterns, overall sales at Langham Place Mall saw a mild adjustment. Nevertheless, proactive tenant-mix optimisation delivered strong results, with the lifestyle category recording double-digit sales growth.Marking the 20th anniversary of its opening, Langham Place Mall strengthened both leasing and marketing efforts during the year. More than 30 new brands were introduced, including the first overseas branch of Chiikawa Ramen Buta, which generated significant attention and successfully boosted footfall. Upholding the spirit of “WOW! WE PLAY”, the mall continued to advance its “Stay Local, Trend Global” strategy, leveraging year-round promotional campaigns and anniversary celebrations to reinforce its leadership position as a trendsetting retail destination. Occupancy remained high at 99.3%.New tenants surpassed previous operators by an average of 80% in sales, while pop-up stores tied to major marketing campaigns achieved triple-digit sales growth, reflecting the strong synergy between brand partnerships and content-driven activations. In addition, the introduction of themed experiences and designer events on Levels 9 to 12 successfully revitalised historically lower-traffic floors, stimulating cross-floor spending, enhancing spatial efficiency, and generating incremental non-traditional revenue. These initiatives have enabled the mall to demonstrate sustained resilience and competitiveness amid a rapidly evolving retail landscape.SustainabilityThe Trust continued to embed sustainability deeply into its asset management strategy, with a strong focus on environmental stewardship, health and well-being, and community engagement. We achieved the highest five-star rating in the GRESB Real Estate Assessment for the third consecutive year and attained an “AA+” rating in the Hang Seng Corporate Sustainability Benchmark Index, reaffirming our leadership in sustainable practices.At Three Garden Road, the successful implementation of an AI-optimised chiller plant system delivered an annual energy savings of 6.1%. In parallel, we worked closely with tenants to advance the EcoChampion Pledge, fostering collective action in energy efficiency, waste reduction and green procurement.In addition, guided by our “6D Wellness” framework, we rolled out a range of community collaboration programmes to support the physical, mental and social well-being of tenants and visitors. These initiatives underpin our commitment to creating long-term value for all stakeholders.OutlookLooking ahead, while uncertainties in the global macroeconomic environment remain, market sentiment in Hong Kong is expected to improve gradually, supported by the resilience of capital markets and the recovery of inbound tourism, which will in turn provide support for office demand and local consumption. We remain cautiously optimistic about the operating environment in Hong Kong. While there are still market challenges, Champion REIT is well positioned to capture emerging opportunities. We will continue to adhere proactive asset management strategy to deliver long-term value for our stakeholders.

Saham GD Culture Group Limited (GDC): Naik atas Peralihan Strategik apabila Rizab 7,500 BTC Menghadapi Jualan Separa

Ringkasan GDC melonjak 11.7% apabila lembaga pengarah mempertimbangkan pelan jualan BTC untuk membantu membiayai pembelian balik $100 juta Perbendaharaan 7,500 BTC mungkin digunakan secara berperingkat, memberikan pengurusan kawalan masa sepenuhnya Simpanan Bitcoin jauh lebih besar daripada nilai pasaran, melebarkan jurang penilaian yang mendorong minat pedagang Kerugian BTC yang belum direalisasikan meningkat, tetapi pelan pembelian balik bertujuan untuk mengimbangi kelemahan saham sebelum ini Unit AI dan penstriman langsung berkembang kerana perbendaharaan kripto menyokong fleksibiliti modal (SeaPRwire) - GD Culture Group Limited melaporkan momentum baharu pada hari Rabu apabila lembaga pengarah meluluskan pelan yang mungkin termasuk menjual sebahagian daripada rizab bitcoinnya yang besar. Saham diniagakan lebih tinggi apabila pasaran bertindak balas terhadap fokus baharu terhadap pulangan modal dan pengurusan lembaran imbangan. Langkah itu menandakan perubahan besar apabila syarikat itu memposisikan diri untuk menggunakan pegangan aset digital untuk menyokong pembelian semula saham. Strategi Rizab Bitcoin Mengubah Bentuk Pelan Modal GD Culture Group memajukan pelan modalnya selepas lembaga pengarah memberi kuasa kepada pengurusan untuk menjual sebahagian daripada 7,500 BTC-nya. Syarikat itu bertindak untuk mengukuhkan program pembelian semula saham $100 juta yang diumumkan sebelum ini.

Ini adalah laporan penyelidikan institusi daripada dua syarikat kripto terbesar di dunia. Kedua-duanya mengatakan perkara yang sama: wang akan datang, peraturan semakin jelas, dan projek dengan produk sebenar akan menangkap sebahagian besar daripada modal itu.Setiap kitaran mengajar pelajaran yang sama. Altcoin terbaik untuk membeli sekarang hampir tidak pernah adalah yang sudah dimiliki oleh semua orang. ETH pada $2,300 boleh mencapai $12,000. Itu adalah kira-kira 5 kali ganda. SOL pada $142 boleh berganda. Tetapi token yang mengubah pelabur kecil menjadi jutawan selalu adalah yang belum mempunyai senarai pertukaran.PEPE telah meningkat dari tiada apa-apa kepada $7 bilion dengan tiada produk. SHIB mencapai $40 bilion dengan Swap yang hampir tidak berfungsi. BONK melepasi $2 bilion hanya kerana hype Solana. Pulangan ini berlaku kerana harga permulaan sangat rendah sehingga penadanan sederhana telah mencipta ganda banyak yang besar.Ini adalah kelebihan prajualan.

Pepeto Exchange sebagai pusat senarai token meme khusus dengan $PEPETO dibangunkan ke dalam protokol. Ketiganya hampir siap dan jadual pelancaran semakin dekat.Kebaman telah disahkan. Dua audit daripada SolidProof dan Coinsult telah mengesahkan tiada isu kritikal. Pengasas asli koin Pepe telah mencipta ekosistem itu. Cukai sifar bermakna pedagang menyimpan setiap token. Dan ganjaran pengagihan 211% APY akan mengkompou nd setiap hari kepada setiap orang yang mempunyai.Sekurang-kurangnya $7,000 pada harga hari ini akan meningkat kepada saham bursa $50 juta iaitu 100 kali ganda. Itu adalah $700,000. Jika Pepeto hanya mencapai 1% daripada apa yang telah dicapai oleh PEPE dengan tiada apa-apa, iaitu lebih daripada $70 juta saham bursa dan kira-kira 150 kali ganda. $7,000 itu akan menjadi lebih daripada satu juta. Dengan pengagihan 211% APY, ia akan menghasilkan $14,770 setiap tahun semasa anda menunggu.Cara membeli: lawati , hubungkan dompet anda, pilih ETH, USDT, BNB, atau kad kredit, dan sahkan. Anda juga boleh klik “Beli dan Simpan” untuk mengunci token dengan pengagihan 211% APY. Semua token prajualan boleh diambil pada hari pelancaran apabila perdagangan mula. Tiada pengagihan. Tiada kelewatan. Hubungkan dompet anda dan ambil segalanya sebaik sahaja perdagangan bermula. Prajualan itu telah 70% penuh dengan lebih daripada $7.3 juta telah dikumpul.Pelabur yang telah melepaskan peluang untuk SHIB pada sembilan sifar, PEPE pada pelancaran, dan BONK sebelum Solana meletup semua mempunyai satu penyesalan bersama. Mereka melihatnya. Mereka memahaminya. Mereka berkata kepada diri mereka bahawa mereka akan membeli esok. Esok telah datang dan harga telah pergi. Pepeto masih berada pada enam sifar. Tetapi 70% daripada pengedaran telah dijual. Matematik tidak berubah selepas senarai. Harga berubah. Dan apabila itu berlaku, kemasukan ini akan hilang secara kekal. Orang yang bertindak semasa orang lain berkerap-kerap adalah orang yang tidak akan menulis post penyesalan selepas setahun.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Laporan: Pemimpin tertinggi Iran jalankan ‘negara dalam negara’ melalui rangkaian rahsia 4,000 orang

(SeaPRwire) - FIRST ON FOX: Satu laporan baharu yang memperincikan cara kerja dalaman pejabat Ayatollah menyatakan bahawa struktur arahan sebenar Republik Islam terletak bukan pada kerajaan Iran yang kelihatan, tetapi pada satu alat ghaib yang direka untuk mengekalkan kawalan rejim walaupun pemimpin tertinggi itu sendiri hilang dari pandangan umum., Unmasking the Bayt: Inside the Supreme Leader’s Office, diterbitkan oleh United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI) dan dikarang oleh Saeid Golkar dan Kasra Aarabi, menggambarkan Bayt, Pejabat Pemimpin Tertinggi, sebagai rangkaian institusi yang luas yang tertanam di seluruh tentera, ekonomi, institusi agama dan birokrasi negara Iran."Ia adalah pusat saraf tersembunyi bagi … ia beroperasi sebagai sebuah negara dalam negara," kata Aarabi dalam satu temu bual dengan Digital.Menurut Aarabi, sistem ini membolehkan Khamenei mengawasi dan mempengaruhi pembuatan keputusan di setiap peringkat Republik Islam, termasuk dasar nuklear, perancangan perang dan keselamatan dalaman."Inilah yang memberikan Khamenei kawalan mutlak. Bukan negara yang kelihatan, inilah negara yang tidak kelihatan," katanya.Laporan itu menganggarkan kira-kira 4,000 orang beroperasi di dalam struktur teras Bayt, dengan puluhan ribu lagi bekerja melalui institusi gabungan di seluruh negara."Terdapat kira-kira 4,000 pekerja rapat… anggap mereka sebagai komisar… pembuat dasar sebenar," kata Aarabi. "Selain itu, payung Bayt mempunyai 40,000 individu yang bekerja untuknya… tertanam di setiap lapisan dasar, setiap entiti negara."Laporan itu memetakan bulatan dalaman yang dikawal rapat di puncak Bayt, termasuk anak-anak lelaki Khamenei, terutamanya Mojtaba Khamenei, yang digambarkan beroperasi seperti "pemimpin tertinggi mini" di dalam pejabat bapanya. Ia memperincikan bagaimana struktur ini mencapai secara langsung ke dalam rantaian pemerintahan tentera Iran, dengan kenaikan pangkat kanan memerlukan kelulusan dari pejabat Pemimpin Tertinggi dan badan balas risikan selari yang memantau kesetiaan di seluruh angkatan tentera. Bayt, kata laporan itu, juga memainkan peranan muktamad dalam rundingan nuklear dan pembuatan keputusan waktu perang, memastikan kuasa tertinggi kekal tertumpu di sekitar pemimpin tertinggi.Rangkaian itu, kata Aarabi, secara efektif menduplikasi kementerian negara di dalam pejabat Khamenei, membenarkan pengawasan langsung dan penguatkuasaan ideologi di seluruh agensi kerajaan, universiti dan institusi budaya.Laporan itu juga menggariskan bagaimana Bayt mengekalkan ketahanan rejim melalui kawalan ekonomi, institusi agama dan sistem pendidikan. Rangkaian yayasan dan konglomerat yang berkait dengan pemimpin tertinggi mengawasi sektor utama ekonomi Iran, manakala institusi ulama, universiti dan badan budaya dipantau oleh wakil tertanam yang ditugaskan untuk menguatkuasakan pematuhan ideologi dan menyekat bantahan."Anggap Bayt sebagai nukleus kuasa teras rejim," kata Aarabi.Penemuan ini muncul di tengah-tengah spekulasi baharu tentang kesihatan Khamenei dan penglihatan awam yang berkurangan, serta ketegangan serantau yang semakin meningkat dan kemungkinan melibatkan Iran.Aarabi menolak cadangan bahawa ketidakhadiran Khamenei dari penampilan awam menandakan kelemahan autoriti atau perpecahan dalaman."Kami melihat ini semasa … walaupun dia bersembunyi di dalam bunker, dia berada dalam kawalan penuh. Bayt telah mengetatkan cengkaman kuasa Khamenei," katanya.Struktur itu, katanya, sengaja dibina untuk berfungsi walaupun tanpa kehadiran fizikal pemimpin tertinggi."Walaupun dia dihapuskan, Bayt sebagai sebuah institusi membolehkan pemimpin tertinggi berfungsi," kata Aarabi. "Anggap pemimpin tertinggi sebagai sebuah institusi dan bukan hanya seorang individu."Laporan itu meletakkan di puncak hierarki kuasa Iran, di atas Kor Pengawal Revolusi Islam dan kerajaan formal."Bayt adalah alat teras… badan pembuatan dasar strategik yang mendorong program peluru berpandu balistik, , [dan] destabilisasi serantau," kata Aarabi.Implikasinya, tambahnya, adalah signifikan bagi pembuat dasar di Washington dan di seluruh rantau ini, terutamanya apabila AS menimbang pilihan untuk menghadapi program nuklear dan aktiviti serantau Iran."Menghapuskan Khamenei secara terasing dengan sendirinya tidak mencukupi… anda perlu membongkar alat yang luas ini yang telah dia ciptakan," kata Aarabi.Sebaliknya, sebarang usaha untuk melemahkan rejim akan memerlukan mensasarkan struktur institusi yang lebih luas yang mengelilingi pemimpin tertinggi, bukan hanya individu di pusatnya."Ia melibatkan strategi yang komprehensif… operasi siber, sekatan, [dan] komponen tentera," katanya. "Untuk sebarang perubahan bermakna di Iran… anda perlu menyerang nukleus teras kuasa dalam rejim Islam, dan itu adalah Bayt."Beliau berkata mengenai laporan bahawa Khamenei adalah sasaran bahawa, "penghapusan Khamenei sahaja tidak mencukupi… membongkar alat luas Bayt adalah penting," tambahnya.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Presiden Mexico mempertimbangkan tindakan undang-undang terhadap Elon Musk berkaitan tuduhan kartel dadah kewangan

Presiden Mexico mempertimbangkan tindakan undang-undang terhadap Elon Musk berkaitan tuduhan kartel dadah

(SeaPRwire) - Claudia Sheinbaum berkata pada hari Selasa kerajaannya sedang mempertimbangkan tindakan undang-undang terhadap Elon Musk selepas jutawan itu menuduhnya, tanpa bukti, mempunyai kaitan dengan kartel dadah selepas pembunuhan seorang pemimpin kartel utama.Musk membuat tuduhan itu dalam satu siaran di X sebagai tindak balas kepada video 2025 yang muncul semula di mana Sheinbaum membincangkan keganasan kartel dan menolak kembali kepada tindakan tegas ketenteraan. "Kembali kepada bukanlah pilihan. Pertama, kerana ia berada di luar rangka undang-undang," katanya dalam klip itu.Video itu dikongsi oleh seorang pengguna X yang bertanya, "Adakah dia seorang agen kartel?""Dia hanya berkata apa yang diberitahu oleh ketua kartelnya," . "Katakan sahaja hukuman mereka kerana tidak mematuhi adalah sedikit lebih buruk daripada 'rencangan penambahbaikan prestasi.'" Sheinbaum bertindak balas terhadap komen itu semasa konferens media pagi hariannya, mengatakan kerajaannya sedang menilai pilihan mereka."Kami sedang mempertimbangkan sama ada mengambil tindakan undang-undang," katanya, menambah bahawa peguam kerajaan sedang meneliti perkara itu.Siaran Musk itu berlaku selepas pasukan keselamatan Mexico , dikenali sebagai "El Mencho," pemimpin lama Kartel Generasi Baru Jalisco yang berkuasa, dalam operasi yang mencetuskan sekatan jalan dan serangan pembakaran di beberapa bahagian negara.Serangan ketenteraan terhadap kartel yang dilancarkan pada 2006 oleh bekas Presiden Felipe Calderón menyebabkan pertempuran wilayah berdarah apabila geng-geng berpecah, memacu lingkaran keganasan yang menurut penganalisis menyumbang kepada kadar pembunuhan yang tinggi secara berterusan di Mexico.Apabila ditanya sama ada operasi terhadap Oseguera menandakan peralihan ke arah postur keselamatan yang lebih agresif, Sheinbaum menolak idea itu."Penangkapan seorang suspek jenayah dengan waran tangkap boleh menghasilkan keadaan seperti ini, tetapi kami ," katanya.Presiden parti pemerintah Morena, Luisa Alcalde, juga mengkritik kenyataan Musk, mendesaknya menggunakan platformnya untuk menangani , penyebaran maklumat palsu dan promosi budaya narkoba."Kekayaan tidak memberikan kuasa moral," katanya. "Nyawa yang hilang dalam perjuangan ini, sering didorong oleh penggunaan di negara lain, bernilai lebih daripada apa-apa kekayaan yang dikumpulkan di Lembah Silikon."Lebih 130,000 orang disenaraikan sebagai hilang di Mexico, di mana kebanyakan keganasan dikaitkan dengan kartel dadah yang menjual narkotik ke AS dan mendapatkan senjata dari seberang sempadan.Reuters menyumbang kepada laporan ini.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.
