In what some have described as a bellwether for German politics, millions of Bavarians are casting their votes in state elections.

With the @CSU expecting a poor performance, the poll could spell trouble for Chancellor Merkel. Want to understand more? Keep reading 👇 (THREAD)
Bavarians headed to the polls on Sunday in a historical vote to elect a regional parliament and government that could see the long-ruling Christian Social Union (@CSU) lose their absolute majority in the state legislature.

But why is it so important for Germany?
Well, the election could spell trouble for German Chancellor Angela Merkel's fragile coalition government, which comprises her Christian Democrats (@CDU), their Bavarian sister party, the @CSU, and the center-left Social Democrats (@spdde).

Still not sure why it matters?

When @JZarif says, "#Iran never raced towards a bomb, nor will it race towards a bomb," rest assured it is the exact opposite.
We will realize how Tehran sought nuclear arms for decades. For a country sitting on an ocean of oil & gas, a "peaceful" nuclear program is meaningless.
A very telling cartoon about #NorthKorea & #Iran, as Pyongyang signals indications to set aside its nuclear weapons/ballistic missile program. This is leaving Tehran as now sole target of the international community's soon-to-come pressures.
For those who describe #Iran's FM @JZarif as a "moderate" or "reformist"

"We will exit the NPT. / We will launch advanced enrichment," he says in response to Trump's May 12th #IranDeal deadline.
