India has successfully launched the unmanned spacecraft, Chandrayaan-3, marking its potential to become the fourth nation to achieve a controlled lunar landing. The spacecraft, developed by the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO), is set to collect data and conduct experiments on the Moon. The $75 million mission follows India’s earlier lunar expeditions: Chandrayaan-1, which discovered water molecules on the Moon, and Chandrayaan-2, which failed to land despite entering lunar orbit. Chandrayaan-3 is anticipated to land on the Moon’s south pole between August 23-24.
Hundreds of thousands of Iranians took to the streets after Friday prayers to protest Israel’s recent attacks on the country. The largest gatherings occurred in the capital, Tehran, where demonstrators marched following prayers at Tehran University.
High-ranking officials, including Iran’s Constitutional Court head Gholam Hossein Mohseni Ejei and former IRGC commander Major General Mohammad Ali Jafari, joined the protest. Participants waved Iranian, Palestinian, and resistance group flags, and trampled on Israeli and US flags laid on the ground.
Protesters held banners reading “Down with Israel”, “Down with the US”, and “The Zionist regime will be destroyed”, while chanting slogans such as “We stand behind our leader”, “Everyone who clashed with Khamenei will eventually be destroyed”, and “Our right to nuclear weapons”.
