Iran-Backed Militias Diverting Funds to IRGC Amid Economic Strain, CENTCOM Commander Reports

Iran-backed militias are reportedly sending money to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) due to severe economic pressure, according to CENTCOM chief Adm. Brad Cooper. Cooper indicated that some militias are withholding payments to their own fighters to support the IRGC, which is also struggling to pay its troops. The US has frozen $350 million in Iranian cryptocurrency assets, and a naval blockade has cost Iran an estimated $25 billion in lost oil revenue. The US has also paused strikes on Iranian positions near the Strait of Hormuz.

Redmi Note 17 Pro Max Review: Long Battery Life, Weak Performance

Redmi Note 17 Pro Max Review: Long Battery Life, Weak Performance

Xiaomi's Redmi Note 17 Pro Max features a 10,000 mAh battery that lasts over two and a half days, exceeding expectations. However, its performance is hampered by an 8GB RAM configuration and a Snapdragon 6 Gen 5 processor, leading to a less-than-smooth experience, especially in demanding applications. The device offers a large screen, basic cameras, and AI features, but its hardware limitations prevent it from being a top-tier mid-range option despite its impressive battery life. The phone is priced at around 2,200 NIS.
