Iran’s Ka shani elected Majlis speaker in shock move
Iran’s Ayatollah Ka shani, a key religious leader and ally of the Shah, was chosen as speaker of the Majlis.

Border arms seizures aim to curb Tudeh activity amid alleged new partisan schooling. Iran also pursued tanker deals with Argentina to pay for oil in kind.
