China built the world's longest mountain escalator — and it just changed everything for thousands of people.

The Wushan Goddess Escalator in Chongqing, China officially opened in February 2026. It stretches 905 meters and rises as high as an 80-story building. For years, residents had to spend over an hour climbing steep mountain roads just to reach work, school, or the market. Now they do it in 20 minutes.

This is not a single escalator. It is a full system — 21 escalators, 8 elevators, 4 moving walkways, and pedestrian bridges, all built along the natural curves of the mountain. The entire project cost $23 million.

Chongqing is already known for its wild infrastructure — trains passing through buildings, roads stacked on top of each other. The Goddess Escalator just raised the bar again.

Engineering at its finest. China keeps building what others only imagine.

Iran's senior military commander Major General Ali Abdollahi — head of the Khatam Al-Anbiya Central Headquarters — delivered a significant statement on June 13, 2026, marking one year since the start of the Twelve-Day War.

Speaking at a memorial ceremony in Dezful for his predecessor Major General Gholamali Rashid and his son Amin Abbas Rashid — both of whom passed away during the Twelve-Day War on June 13, 2025 — Abdollahi stated: "The world will soon hear the echo of Iran's victory and the triumph of the resistance."

General Rashid had commanded the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters since 2016, appointed directly by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei. He held the position until his passing during Israeli operations against Iran on June 13, 2025.

The statement comes as Iran and the US remain in final-stage negotiations on a memorandum of understanding to formally end the conflict.

GLOBAL POLITICS AND RESEARCH:A question of “old sins and long shadows”, that have come home to roost.
Unfortunately, and ironically, racism, fascism. division and manipulation in domestic ( governments ) and imperialistic forms have always been here, and resisted by every generation.
This time, it is our generation tasked to fight these evil hydra-headed monsters, and those who actively enable these generic terms.

Great Research on “Who pays the piper dictates the political tune” of any Country, and the UK is no exception.
Notice how every such government interference always boils down to Israel’s and Germany’s fascists many hands in the pies.
