 The November protests swept across #Iran & threatened the mullahs. Tehran apologists/lobbyists were busy shifting attention away from the regime by pushing various talking points to justify Iran’s brutal crackdown.

 @nargesbajoghli & @NIACouncil were also blaming U.S. sanctions.
3)
 @tparsi & @SinaToossi were busy blaming other foreign elements. Again, diverting attention away from the mullahs' regime.

#BREAKING
Dec 11 - Baghdad, #Iraq
Baghdad Int'l Airport is once the target of rocket attack. This is the second such incident in the past week alone.

My take:
#Iran-backed militia groups are behind these attacks under orders from Tehran.
Image displays where two 122mm Katyusha rockets landed west and south of Baghdad International Airport.

#thread: Yesterday was the largest turnout in Baghdad’s Tahrir Square since #IraqProtests resumed Friday. Protesters motivated by security forces shooting dead comrades in #Karbala and PM @AdilAbdAlMahdi’s refusal to call an early election. #Iraq 1/11
reut.rs/36l9QnJ
Parliament’s reforms didn’t do it for them either. Abdul Mahdi resigning is not their demand though, they want the whole system gone. Parliament, the PM, his government, and most of all the political parties run by elites they say are corrupt and beholden to Iran/the U.S. 2/11
Every relevant authority has bizarrely denied that anything had happened in #Karbala, saying no one was killed. @UNIraq AND @amnesty condemned the violence in which at least 14 people were killed. @Reuters sources say 18. 3-11

Been reading a bunch of Annual Reports last few days. Creating this thread to capture and share interesting tidbits from the ones I am reading this season. Will be updated on an ongoing basis next few weeks.

1/n
2. Few bluechips have reported their #EconomicValueAdded (EVA), a good measure of shareholder value creation. HUL AR does a great job of explaining details. EVA as % avg capital employed over a period of time can be a good leading indicator. Pidilite also shares EVA details
3. Chairman's letter+MD&A section of top 2/3 key players provide great overview of economy and sector dynamics.
Few suggested section reads are HUL, Kotak, PEL, Sterlite Tech, Everest Ind+Visaka, Godrej Prop, OCCL, Hikal, Aavas, RBL, L&T Infotech, Zydus Wellness.

#Thread on Trump, Pompeo and Pence's irresponsible banalization of the words "Genocide" and "Holocaust" at the State of the Union address (#SOTU) , the #WarsawSummit and #MSC2019.
1) Raphael Lemkin, known as the father of the Genocide Convention, rejected the terms "Barbarity", "Mass murder", "Denationalization", "Germanization", "Magyarization" and many others to depict Hitler's attempt to annihilate the Jewish population.
2) He wanted a word that would - according to @AmbPower44 in her book "A Problem from Hell" - "connote a practice so horrid and so irreparable that the very utterance of the word would galvanize all who heard it". To Lemkin words mattered. So he came up with the word "Genocide".

#Thread of responses from women in aerodynamics to the question, 'what would you like to see in order for women's career progression in your field to be sustained and better supported?'

Responses incl. career flexibility, mentoring and more women in leadership roles #WomeninSTEM
1. "I think young female engineers need to see more female role models and mentors in my field. Having a visible example of someone that looks like you and is succeeding in their field is important. Having an opportunity to meet with a mentor like that can be very powerful."
2. "I would like to see that any career promotion is based on own merits and value added to the company or the society independently of the gender. I want that women are measured with the same rules as men and are given equal opportunities."

Iran (un() Deal Day THREAD: 1) @realDonaldTrump hasn't been consistent on a lot, but he has been consistent on the Iran Deal. He's been against it for years and called it a "disaster" and "insane" on the campaign. So this time he's not flip flopping.
2) Pulling out of the deal may have been on faulty analysis of what we could achieve vis-a-vis a better deal. Wonder what @CIA @ODNIgov assessed was or was not achievable and if @POTUS thought he knew better
3) Also wondering whether this approach was based on any analysis that NO deal is better than THIS deal or was this an @WhiteHouse negotiating tactic that misfired
