Amid the CJP protest against alleged electoral irregularities, Rajya Sabha MP Kapil Sibal hit back at Defence Minister Rajnath Singh over his claim that the Congress and its allies are seeking a Bangladesh-style regime change. Sibal said, “People want regime change,” accusing the government of corruption, capturing institutions and manipulating voter lists. He added, “Time to go!” Rajnath Singh had alleged that the Opposition was using young people to fuel political confrontation and spread anarchy. #kapilsibal# #rajnathsingh# #cjpprotest# #regimechange# #bjpindia#

"Regime change” is reshaping markets, from James Bullard’s economic framework and the Federal Reserve’s new interest-rate environment to KKR’s Henry McVey's retirement revamp that includes alternative investments. @TomKeene shares his thoughts. Watch Bloomberg Money Fridays at noon

Trump wants regime change, not another nuclear deal, warns a prominent Islamic Republic state television analyst. Foad Izadi says Trump is trying to bring down the system, even as Iranian officials seek talks. His warning gives voice to a fear the regime rarely admits so plainly. The United States is keeping its naval blockade on Iranian ports while sanctions push Iranian airlines out of regional airports. The pressure continued while Iran’s president and foreign minister sought negotiations at the United Nations. Trump then rejected the regime’s offer to reopen Hormuz in exchange for relief from the blockade. Izadi sees the danger for the Islamic Republic. Its leaders want a deal that restores oil revenue and eases their isolation. They now fear Trump intends to keep squeezing the system even while negotiations remain possible. For decades, the regime funded armed groups and spread terror across the region to make itself impossible to ignore. Now its oil income is being cut off, its aircraft are losing access abroad, and one of its own commentators is telling loyalists that Trump wants the Islamic Republic gone.
