Nevada Democrats Bet On Lottery Despite Ban
Nevada Democrats press for a state lottery to fund education despite a constitutional ban and decades of failed attempts.

Iran rules out women running for president
Iran's hardline Guardians Council maintained that its policy banning women from presidential candidacy remains unchanged. State media had earlier cited a council spokesman claiming a shift in policy, but officials later backtracked. The June 17 election looms as reformists' challenge, with Mohamad Khatami barred from a third term. Public reaction from reform groups and critics frames the debate over democracy, representation, and gender in Iran.
