The footage sparked sarcasm over poor snow camouflage.

Iran replaced its central bank governor in an urgent attempt to contain the country’s largest cost-of-living protests in years, triggered by a collapse of the rial and inflation above 40%.

Abdolnaser Hemmati—previously impeached as economy minister over currency mismanagement—was reinstated as central bank head.

The government also issued rare public apologies for inflation but warned solutions would take time.

India successfully test-fired two Pralay missile missiles in rapid succession from the same mobile launcher.

Lukashenko “warns” Ukraine:

I just want to warn you that this will end in disaster. In disaster.

Russia has something to strike decision-making centers with, such that not a stone will be left standing. You have to stop.

German Chancellor Merz rejects the idea that Germany is powerless:

We are not victims of external circumstances. We are not a plaything of great powers. Our hands are not tied.

Let us not listen to the fearmongers and the doomsayers.

Lukashenko:

Russia would have had no difficulty striking a residence where Zelensky was staying.

After the first use of the Oreshnik missile, some hardliners proposed a second strike, even against decision-making centers.

Putin rejected the idea outright.

Israeli Foreign Ministry:

All eyes on Iran.

Trump:

Much of the Minnesota Fraud, up to 90%, is caused by people that came into our Country, illegally, from Somalia.

Send them back from where they came, Somalia, perhaps the worst, and most corrupt, country on earth. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!

Israel’s population growth fell to 0.9%, the lowest since the state’s founding, according to new research by the Taub Center for Social Policy Studies in Israel.

The slowdown is driven by higher death rates, declining fertility across all population groups, and a rise in emigration.

Demographers say Israel’s peak natural growth is over and is expected to keep shrinking.

Maintaining growth above 1% would now require net immigration—but recent years have seen more people leaving than arriving.

Jackie Chan:

Recently, I watched a video. As soon as I saw that child speak, I started crying. He was asked, “What will you be when you grow up?” He said, “Children on our side don’t grow up.” My tears just came falling down instantly.

Gaza… the children of Gaza… Every day, being bombed. When he said that sentence, he had no expression. So, you see, growing old is a form of happiness.
