@ZelenskyyUa @MohamedBinZayed This signals a broader shift: countries under pressure are no longer just recipients of aid they are contributors to collective security. Ukraine’s defense systems are becoming part of a wider international framework.

@FelastoryMedia are we heading toward a larger escalation that could have global consequences?

SNL’s March 7 cold open turned politics into satire, mocking Trump’s reported firing of Kristi Noem with a “self-deport” joke. The sketch shows how #SNL keeps shaping #USPolitics debate while reflecting the tension around #Trump decisions.

@ABC Some analysts also discuss opposition figures like Reza Pahlavi as part of the broader debate about Iran’s future. The key issue is whether a transition could lead to a democratic and accountable system chosen by Iranians themselves.

That distinction matters in policy debates. Pressure on the regime’s institutions is not hostility toward the Iranian people. Many analysts believe a democratic future for Iran remains possible. #IranFuture #MiddleEast

[Brandon Jackson 🇨🇦🇺🇸 @BrandonJ47661]

Iran is more than the Islamic Republic. It is a civilization with a young and educated population that has repeatedly shown civic courage through protests and reform movements. #IranSociety
