Are feminist men dangerous?

It may seem that new societies have been passing through the traditional "masculinity" patterns for years and have reached the new types of masculinity. That is, the patterns used to represent men that are often equipped with knowledge, intellectualism, rationality and high levels of tolerance, as well as increasingly trying to gender equality values. However, some feminist researchers believe that there is a tendency to observe equality values, mild behaviours, and defending women's rights only in men whose behaviours can be redefined within the framework of "alternative masculinity".

Iran’s Nuclear Challenge at a Crossroads: Dilemmas of a Threshold State

Diplomacy between Iran and the world’s major powers—Britain, China, France, Germany, Russia and the United States—over bringing Iran back into compliance with the 2015 nuclear agreement (the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action or JCPOA) has stalled. A senior State Department official has said that the United States is considering “other tools … to increase the pressure on Iran,” which is a nuclear “threshold” state, to break the impasse. Negotiations are playing out against the backdrop of the latest report from the International Atomic Energy Agency that Iran has accelerated its nuclear program and breached the 2015 agreement’s constraints on uranium enrichment. Based on the IAEA’s findings on Iran’s stock of fissile material, independent nuclear experts calculate that Iran could acquire sufficient weapons-grade material to produce a single nuclear bomb in as little as three weeks.
