—🇮🇷🇱🇧 NEW: The son of Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, Sayyed Muhammad Mahdi Nasrallah, has completed his religious seminary education and obtained his turban in the Islamic Republic of Iran, in a ceremony led by His Eminence, the Supreme Religious Authority, Ayatollah Ali Hosseini Khamenei
The 'turban placing' ceremony, which was conducted personally by Imam Khamenei in this case, marks the official completion of the first stage of religious studies in Shia Islam, and declares that the person has become a 'Sheikh' (a religious scholar / cleric), somewhat like obtaining priesthood.

However, the perpetrators of such frauds are now adopting new methods and technologies to defraud the investors. Some people used the platform to organize ahead of the storming of the U.S. Capitol in January 2021, and last month Senator Mark Warner sent a letter to Durov urging him to curb Russian information operations on Telegram. In the United States, Telegram's lower public profile has helped it mostly avoid high level scrutiny from Congress, but it has not gone unnoticed. So, uh, whenever I hear about Telegram, it’s always in relation to something bad. What gives? Telegram has become more interventionist over time, and has steadily increased its efforts to shut down these accounts. But this has also meant that the company has also engaged with lawmakers more generally, although it maintains that it doesn’t do so willingly. For instance, in September 2021, Telegram reportedly blocked a chat bot in support of (Putin critic) Alexei Navalny during Russia’s most recent parliamentary elections. Pavel Durov was quoted at the time saying that the company was obliged to follow a “legitimate” law of the land. He added that as Apple and Google both follow the law, to violate it would give both platforms a reason to boot the messenger from its stores.
