UK's Strategic Move: Britain Signals Possible Support for Israel Amid Iran Conflict

The United Kingdom has hinted at potential support for Israel in its ongoing conflict with Iran, though officials emphasize that recent military deployments are primarily precautionary. British Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves stated on Sunday that additional military jets were sent to the Middle East to protect British bases and personnel.

José Mujica: Uruguay’s Humble Revolutionary Passes Away at 89

Former Uruguayan President José Mujica, widely admired for his modest lifestyle and progressive policies, has passed away at the age of 89. Mujica, affectionately known as "Pepe," was a former guerrilla fighter turned statesman who transformed Uruguay into one of the most socially liberal democracies in the world.  

During his presidency from 2010 to 2015, Mujica legalized same-sex marriage, abortion rights, and the recreational use of marijuana, positioning Uruguay as a leader in progressive governance. His down-to-earth approach to leadership—choosing to live in a small farmhouse rather than the presidential palace and donating most of his salary to charity—earned him the title of the "world’s poorest president", though he rejected the label.  

Mujica had been battling esophageal cancer, and after months of treatment, he opted for hospice care at his ranch outside Montevideo. His passing marks the end of an era for Uruguay and Latin America, where he was revered as a symbol of integrity and humility.  

Tributes have poured in from leaders across the region, with Colombian President Gustavo Petro calling him a "great revolutionary", and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum describing him as "an example for Latin America and the world".  

Mujica’s legacy will endure as a testament to the power of humble leadership and progressive change.
