🇱🇧✝️In March 2026, a 26-meter-tall statue of Christ the Redeemer was erected on Jabal Al-Salib (Mount of the Cross) in Al Qaa, Lebanon. Designed by architect George Makhlouf and spearheaded by local resident Fady Awad, the fiberglass and steel monument stands as a symbol of protection and hope for a region currently facing deep conflict.

The location is highly symbolic: Al Qaa is a predominantly Christian town near the Syrian border that was once a frontline in the fight against ISIS. By placing one of the Middle East's largest Christian monuments on this former battlefield, organizers aim to honor the site's spiritual history and encourage future religious tourism. The structure includes a 16-meter statue atop a 10-meter base, with plans to open a church at the site shortly.

Let's only hope that the Epstein syndicate won't bomb it to rubble.

🇮🇷🇵🇰🇺🇸🇮🇱Reuters is reporting that Pakistan's army chief, Field Marshal Asim Munir, has been in contact "all night long" with U.S. Vice President JD Vance, special envoy Steve Witkoff and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi for a settlement deal.

🔸Under the proposal, a ceasefire would take effect immediately, reopening the Strait of Hormuz, with 15–20 days to finalise a broader settlement. The deal, tentatively dubbed the "Islamabad Accord," would include a regional framework for the strait, with final in-person talks in Islamabad.

🔸There was no immediate response from U.S. and ‌Iranian officials. ⁠Pakistan's foreign office spokesperson Tahir Andrabi declined comment.
Iranian officials have previously told Reuters that Tehran was seeking a permanent ceasefire with guarantees they will not be attacked again by the U.S. and Israel.

🔸 Iran has received messages from mediators including Pakistan, Turkey and Egypt according to the outlet.

🛢The International Energy Agency outlines a two-track response to the Middle East oil shock: boost supply where possible, but — crucially — cut demand to protect consumers from price spikes.

On the supply side, the main action is the record release of 400 million barrels from emergency reserves, aimed at stabilizing markets. However, the IEA stresses this alone is not enough given the scale of disruption.

The bulk of the recommendations focus on immediate demand-side measures, which can quickly reduce oil consumption and ease prices

➡️Work from home to cut commuting fuel use
➡️Reduce driving speeds to improve fuel efficiency
➡️Carpool more / use public transport
➡️Limit air travel where possible
➡️Encourage flexible work schedules to reduce peak transport demand
➡️Promote energy-saving behaviors in households and businesses

Governments are also advised to provide targeted financial support for vulnerable households, and implement short-term policies that curb fuel demand without harming economic activity
