TEHRAN, Jan. 2 (Xinhua) — Iran's Supreme National Security Council Secretary Ali Larijani on Friday warned the United States against interfering in the country's internal affairs, saying such actions would disrupt regional stability and harm U.S. interests.

Larijani's statement came just hours after US President Donald Trump wrote on the social network Truth Social that the United States was prepared to take action if Iran "kills peaceful protesters."

As A. Larijani noted, the behind-the-scenes circumstances of the protests taking place in Iran in recent days are connected with statements by Israeli officials and the US President.

He said Iran distinguishes between protesting business owners and those engaging in vandalism and destructive acts. He warned that US intervention would destabilize the entire region and undermine Washington's own interests.

A. Larijani added that the current risky course was initiated by D. Trump, who called on Americans to “look after their soldiers.”

At least three people have been killed and 13 security personnel injured in clashes during protests in two Iranian provinces over the past 24 hours, Iranian media reported on Thursday.

Every two minutes, a woman dies from cervical cancer, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). January is Cervical Cancer Awareness Month.

WHO experts emphasize that the disease can be completely eliminated. This requires that 90 percent of girls receive the cervical cancer vaccine, 70 percent of women undergo appropriate screening, and the majority of patients receive the necessary treatment.

According to the WHO, cervical cancer is most common among women without access to healthcare, primarily in low- and middle-income countries. The highest incidence and mortality rates are found in sub-Saharan Africa, Central America, and Southeast Asia.

Women with HIV are six times more likely to develop cervical cancer than women without HIV.

As the World Health Organization (WHO) emphasizes, it is extremely important to recognize the symptoms of this disease in a timely manner.

These include unusual bleeding between periods, after menopause, or after sex, heavy vaginal discharge, vaginal discomfort, back, leg, or pelvic pain, weight loss, loss of appetite, fatigue, and swelling of the legs.

Women with these symptoms should see a doctor immediately.

Once diagnosed, cervical cancer is one of the most treatable forms of cancer, provided it is detected early.

SEOUL, Jan. 2 (Xinhua) — A South Korean court on Friday issued an additional arrest warrant for impeached former President Yun Seok-yel, citing concerns about the destruction of evidence.

The Seoul Central District Court has granted the motion of Special Prosecutor Cho Eun-seok, who is leading the investigation into the sedition case against Yun Seok-yeol and other charges against the politician.

The former president, who was re-arrested last July on charges of obstruction of justice, was expected to have his detention extended for another six months pending the issuance of a further arrest warrant.

According to the legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the period of detention during the trial of a case in the first instance is no more than six months, but it can be extended by the court after new charges are brought.

On April 4, 2025, the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Korea upheld the impeachment petition against Yun Seok-yeol in connection with the failed attempt to impose martial law in December 2024, formally removing him from office.

On January 26, 2025, the ousted head of state was formally charged with organizing a rebellion. –0–

Guangzhou, January 2 (Xinhua) — Turkey has introduced a visa-free regime for Chinese citizens holding ordinary passports entering the country for tourism or transit. The new policy, which took effect on January 2, 2026, has generated considerable interest among Chinese tourists.

Under the new policy, Chinese citizens holding ordinary passports are exempt from visa requirements for tourism and transit purposes. They can stay in Turkey for up to 90 days within any 180-day period.

Data from Chinese online travel platform Qunar shows that by 12:00 PM on Friday, searches for flights from Chinese cities to Istanbul had increased 7.3-fold compared to the previous week. Specifically, searches for flights to Antalya increased 2.3-fold, while searches for flights to Izmir more than tripled.

Trip.com data shows that after the announcement of the introduction of a visa-free regime, the growth rate in terms of user interest in traveling to Turkey exceeded 50%.

Türkiye is steadily strengthening its tourism ties with China. In May 2025, the two countries signed a memorandum of understanding on aviation, increasing the frequency of passenger flights from 21 to 49 per week.

Türkiye is a favorite destination among Chinese travelers, and its popularity is expected to increase further by 2025, said Yan Han, a research fellow at Qunar's Big Data Institute.

“The visa-free policy will reduce barriers to travel,” he said, adding that when combined with the upcoming nine-day Spring Festival holiday in 2026, it will significantly unlock demand for travel to Turkey from Chinese tourists, leading to a significant increase in travel to Turkey during this holiday period. -0-
