Why is Suro the First Month in the Javanese Calendar? Here is the History
The Javanese month of Suro marks the Islamic-Javanese New Year, a period widely regarded as sacred among traditional communities.

The name 'Suro' itself was adapted from 'Asyura', the 10th day of Muharram, reflecting the synthesis of Islamic and Javanese cultural elements.

The group's strategic position allows it to threaten global trade routes, but major actions risk damaging its crucial economic relationship with Saudi Arabia.

Why Iran Retaliated Against Israel's Attack on Lebanon
Iran's retaliatory strikes against Israel appear to be a calculated move to assert deterrence and reinforce its credibility within the 'Axis of Resistance', rather than merely a direct response to the attack on its Hezbollah ally.
