Will Iran join China, Russia and the United States as a fourth major power on the world stage? Iran's resilience in the face of the U.S.-Israeli war is already shifting the global balance of power, says American political scientist Robert Pape. "What you are seeing with Iran is that its geography, in combination with a level of drone technology that we simply cannot destroy," is demonstrating to other countries that they may not have to stay beholden to U.S. hegemony. "What makes us think we're really going to stop Iran from becoming a nuclear power in the next six months or a year?" asks Pape. "Iran is far stronger than it was just 40 days ago. It is in control of 20% of the world's oil. It is now an emerging fourth center of power. … The United States is on one side, and the rivals are China, Russia and now Iran."

 Prada/Axiom SpaceThe first batch of NASA astronauts to go to the moon since 1972-a crew which will include the first woman and first person of color to visit the lunar body—will be outfitted in high-fashion Prada spacesuits for the occasion. In other words, their moonwalks will also be catwalks.
The designer brand announced its collaboration with the space exploration and infrastructure company Axiom Space Inc. In 2023, Axiom Space was assigned to create the suits for the mission by NASA, its second such contract with the agency. Axiom Space is also one of three NASA-funded commercial space station partners.
Unveiled in Milan, Italy, on Wednesday, the Axiom Extravehicular Mobility Unit (AxEMU) spacesuit will be worn by the four astronauts on NASA's Artemis III mission. These space—and style—pioneers will wear the suit while exploring the lunar South Pole area, on a mission set to launch no earlier than Sept. 2026.
