The long-range missiles Iran launched at Diego Garcia were reportedly in the Khorramshahr family (you wouldn’t want that family as neighbors). Open‑source analysts describe the Khorramshahr’s wide, conical nose —about 1.5 meters in diameter— and its heavy payload as perfect for holding a nuclear device.
If the actual range is more like 5,000 km, then all of Europe lies under Tehran’s missile envelope.
Huh. Here’s the question: if Iran successfully concealed its lies about its “voluntary cap” on long-range missiles— what else has it lied about? What about its “voluntary restraint” from developing nuclear weapons? Let’s consider the possibilities. One of these must be true:
The peace-loving Ayatollah had no intention of building nukes, just as he said (even if he did lie about the missile thing);
The lizard-lipped Ayatollah did want nuclear weapons, and did lie about it, but the Iranians are too dumb to actually build one or keep it secret; or
The sinister Ayatollah did want nukes, did lie about it, and was doing everything he could to get some on his long-range missiles.

China suspends all new robotaxi licenses after Baidu outage
China has halted the issuance of new autonomous vehicle licenses following an incident last month in which more than 100 Baidu Apollo Go robotaxis abruptly stopped on the streets of Wuhan, stranding passengers and snarling traffic, Bloomberg reported on April 29, citing people familiar with the matter.
The freeze prevents self-driving companies from adding vehicles to existing fleets, launching new pilot programs, or expanding into additional cities. No end date has been set.
A Night of Chaos in Wuhan
On the evening of March 31, Apollo Go robotaxis across Wuhan — where Baidu operates its largest fully driverless fleet of more than 1,000 vehicles — lost contact with the company's cloud dispatch system and stopped mid-route. Videos circulating on Chinese social media showed a passenger trapped inside a vehicle halted in the fast lane of an expressway as trucks sped past, while other images depicted a robotaxi struck ...
