Israel has hundreds of nukes, won’t sign the NPT, and faces no sanctions. Iran follows the rules, signs the NPT, allows inspections — and gets bombed. Welcome to the hypocrisy of the 'rules-based' international order.

Iran’s government facing ‘existential moment’

While most in the US government agree on the need to end Iran’s nuclear programme, there is ongoing debate about whether to pursue “regime change”, says Marco Vicenzino, a global strategy adviser and geopolitical risk specialist.

He told Al Jazeera that the mounting pressure on Iran’s leaders has brought the country to its “weakest point” in four decades, describing this as an “existential moment for the regime”.

The defiant comments by Ayatollah Khamenei amount to rhetorical “posturing” to save face, Vicenzino added. “The rhetoric coming out of the regime is mainly motivated by survival.”

But Vicenzino warned that if the US chooses to pursue the government’s ouster while trying to dismantle its nuclear capabilities, Iran could resort to “desperate measures” that spread chaos across the region.

“If Iran is pushed into a corner… will it collapse or will it take desperate measures?” asked Vicenzino, noting it could try to shut off the Strait of Hormuz or bomb oil facilities throughout the Gulf. “These are all open questions.”

Owners of over three million old private and commercial vehicles will have to spend thousands of rupees to obtain new registration number plates printed with the Ajrak design for their four-wheelers within a short span of around three months as the Sindh government has made the replacement of the registration number plates mandatory, it emerged on Wednesday.

The Sindh excise and taxation secretary, through a public notice, has notified all owners of vehicles — both private and commercial — that the old number plates had been discontinued and they were required to be replaced with new retro-reflective number plates by April 3, 2025.

However, the decision to give such a short deadline — less than 100 days (excluding weekly holidays) — raised many eyebrows as the excise and taxation department lacked the manpower to deal with over 28,000 owners/vehicles on a daily basis and to issue them their new number plates to complete the task, ie to replace number plates of over three million vehicles, till April 3.

Here's everything you need to know about it.
