2nd and decisive round in France's municipal elections today.
1st round results saw low participation and few changes, 99% of small municipalities re-elected the incumbant. In Saint Denis (France's ~20th largest city) LFI outright won its first major mayoralty ever.
These are today's main contests:

Marseille (2nd largest): Extremely tight between incumbent "greenish" former PS Benoît Payan and RN candidate Franck Allisio neck-and-neck at ~35 %.

Lyon (3rd largest): Very close between Green incumbent Grégory Doucet (~37.4 %) just ahead of conservative challenger Jean-Michel Aulas (~36.8 %).

Nice, Toulon (5th and 12th largest): RN candidates leading strongly.

. PS is a left-center party (Hollande's and Macron's old party) with 28 out of 577 (~5%) in parliament. Not in any alliance AFAIK.
. RN is LePens and Bardellas rightwing party (with smallish alliances) with near majority support on the national level.
. LFI is the leftwing-green alliance with Melenchon.

Sayyed Khamenei outlined three concrete demands, each with a defined timeline: a rapid U.S. military withdrawal from the Middle East, a full rollback of sanctions within 60 days, and long-term financial compensation for economic damages.

Then came the ultimatum. Fail to comply, and Iran escalates, economically, militarily, and potentially nuclearly. Not hypothetically, but operationally: closing the Strait of Hormuz, formalizing defense ties with Russia and China, and moving from ambiguity to declared ...
