By: KDKA-TV News Staff WARRENDALE, Pa. (KDKA) — Retail stores have really taken a hit during the coronavirus pandemic. But one clothing store focused on young people – rue21 – headquartered in Warrendale says it has weathered the storm and will be opening 15 new locations across the country.

To the United States, Iran is a state sponsor of terrorism and a nuclear proliferation risk. But to its Central Asian neighbors, the Islamic Republic is a business opportunity. Iran is paying attention to Central Asia, and its diplomats have visited the five states in recent months as part of its “Look East” policy. In April 2021, Iran and Tajikistan agreed to promote military cooperation.

China will be able to keep three fighter-jet regiments on the same number of islets that it has constructed in the sea, according to a June 6 Pentagon report.
