Seems like a good time to remind everyone that the United States Women's National Soccer Team has won 4 World Cups.

[Trevor Noah @Trevornoah]

Every World Cup has an impossible story. A team that defies all belief to achieve the seemingly impossible. For this World Cup that team is Cape Verde!!!!

[Michelle Obama @MichelleObama]

Barack and I were so honored to have @AkunyiliCrosby create our portrait for the Obama Presidential Center. Her artistic brilliance shines through — and the way she infused such life and joy into the piece is truly extraordinary. We love it, and we think everyone who visits the Center will too!

This International Women’s Day, I’m thinking of the brave women in Iran who have been tortured, beaten and murdered in their fight for freedom. Never forget what the barbaric Islamist clerics are capable of

[Omid Djalili @omid9]

#InternationalWomensDay2026 today. Remembering the young women of Iran taken from us by the Islamic regime not only in January but also those lost during the #WomanLifeFreedom movement 2022-23

Remember brave Iranian athlete Elnaz,who took off her headscarf 1 month after the revolution.

Her passport was taken, her family was arrested,their business were destroyed and she was imprisoned.

She did her duty in the right time,place in the best way.

@NazaninNour Reporting with government control is useless. @CNN is just broadcasting what the government wants 🙄 one sided news is biased.

[Throwback Iran @Tarikh_Eran]

Every sports journalist and media should be covering this story.

It’s a matter of life & death for Iranian women’s national team.

The regime in Iran on national TV promised to make an example and punish them severely for refusing to sing the national anthem.

[Erin Burnett OutFront @OutFrontCNN]

Former Iranian official says he was "surprised" that the new interim leadership in Iran met together just hours after the killing Ayatollah Khamenei and dozens of other top officials.

"... they should have known that the U.S. and Israel -- they may attack every day or every moment, and they should not gather all of them in just one location."

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленськи�� @ZelenskyyUa]

Europe must finally equip itself with real strength, real ability to defend its skies, its land, and its sea against any type of attack. In particular, this means building sufficient air defense production capacity — both against drones and against ballistic missiles.

The situation in the Middle East shows how difficult it is to provide one hundred percent protection against missiles and “shahed” drones. Even in the Gulf countries, which have more advanced air defense systems than those provided to us so far by our partners and have them in larger quantities, not all ballistic missiles are intercepted. There were also “shaheds” that air defense in the region has not stopped.

Everyone can now see that Ukraine’s experience in defense is, in many respects, irreplaceable. We are ready to share this experience and help those nations that helped Ukraine this winter and throughout this war. We are ready to work on developing Europe’s shared defensive capabilities. Europe must have enough air defense missiles, enough experience in shooting down drones, and sufficient production of modern interceptor drones. Together, we can make this happen.

Thank you to everyone working to strengthen the power of a united Europe.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Events in the Middle East and the Gulf region are unfolding extremely rapidly. Unfortunately, Ukraine knows all too well what this is about. Although Ukrainians never threatened Iran, the Iranian regime chose to become Putin’s accomplice and supplied him with “shahed” drones, and not only the drones themselves, but also the technologies to produce them. Iran also provided other weapons to Russia.

Over the course of this full-scale war, Russia has used more than 57,000 shahed-type attack drones against the Ukrainian people, cities, and energy infrastructure. Other nations have also suffered from Iranian-backed terror. Therefore, it is fair to give the Iranian people a chance to rid themselves of a terrorist regime and to guarantee security for all nations that have suffered from terror originating in Iran.

Our position is well known, and Ukraine has stated it repeatedly, including recently. It is important to preserve as many lives as possible. It is important to prevent the war from expanding. It is important that the United States is acting decisively. Whenever there is American resolve, global criminals weaken. This understanding must also come to the Russians.

People cannot know the day or the hour, yet every act of evil, terror, and aggression against neighbors ultimately meets a just response. We expect that, in the end, the Middle East region will become safer and more stable. Much has already changed toward that goal.

Ukraine is ready to help every nation so that security and justice increase, and terrorist regimes decrease.

Iranians across the world right now:

“We have to announce your child as a martyr and you cannot speak anywhere. You must not say anything unless you want your other child’s fate to be the same as this one.”

In this report, @JomanaCNN gathers testimony from bereaved family members in Iran who say they were subjected to coercive tactics by the regime – including being forced to claim their killed loved ones were government-affiliated, or shot by terrorists.

[Iran International English @IranIntl_En]

The sister of Ahmad Khosravani, a 21-year-old student at Sharif University of Technology who was killed by Iranian security forces, shouted “Death to Khamenei” and “Death to the dictator” during a one-person protest in Tehran.

[Masih Alinejad @AlinejadMasih]

Forty days after the Iranian regime’s agents shot Raha, people gathered at her grave.
In defiance of imposed Islamic customs, they clapped and cheered, turning mourning into an act of resistance.

This is the strongest slap in Khamenei’s face, delivered by a nation that, despite massacre, torture, and executions, continues to stand unarmed against tyranny. Their message is unmistakable:
“The Islamic Republic must fall, and Iran must be free.”

Here’s what to know about protests that broke out today, Saturday February 21st, on university campuses in Iran.

#IranMassacre

[𝓓𝓻. 𝓢𝓪𝓭𝓪𝓯 𝓐𝓯𝓼𝓱𝓪𝓻 @Seashell12922]

Mr.President Trump @realDonaldTrump

This is what is happening in Iran. Young women are abducted, held incommunicado for weeks, and then their bodies are returned to their families under the false label of “suicide.”

But the evidence tells a different story — broken bones, burns, mutilation, signs of torture. Families are silenced. Burials are rushed. No transparency. No justice.

The Iranian people are trapped under a system that brutalizes its own citizens.

Please do not let the world look away.
