Rama Duwajiâartist, activist, and wife of NYC Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdaniâhas stepped into the spotlight after months of silence. The 27-year-old Syrian-American illustrator, known for her pro-Palestinian work, had avoided campaign publicity, sparking controversy and speculation. Critics claimed her art and political stance made her a liability.
But on June 24, as Mamdani celebrated his win, she stood beside himâsilent, composed, present. Born in Texas, raised partly in Dubai, Duwaji's work explores Gaza, race, identity, and dissent. Her pieces have supported Palestinian students and questioned U.S. policies. She and Mamdani met on a dating app, married in a private ceremony, and have since become one of NYCâs most-watched political couples. Now, as Mamdani eyes City Hall, all eyes are on Rama Duwajiâthe woman who may soon be NYCâs first lady.

Amid soaring Israel-Iran tensions, dramatic images on social media show three ships engulfed in flames off the Gulf of Oman near the critical Strait of Hormuz. While authenticity remains unverified, NASAâs FIRMS data also detected fires in the same zone. The area, a vital artery for global oil, has long been a flashpoint. No official Emirati response has surfaced yet. As Israel pounds Iranâs military sites, fears rise over possible retaliation through trade disruption, especially a blockade of Hormuz, which sees over 20 million barrels of oil pass daily.

Four major Arab nations â Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, and Jordan â have strongly condemned Israelâs military strikes on Iran, labeling them as violations of sovereignty and international law. Riyadh has called for urgent UN Security Council intervention, while the UAE urged maximum restraint. Kuwait and Jordan warned the strikes threaten Middle East stability. All four nations demand immediate global action to prevent the outbreak of a larger regional war, as fears of a wider Islamic world backlash begin to grow.

Congress MP Shashi Tharoor clarified Indiaâs position on third-party mediation amid Operation Sindoor. He revealed that several global powersâincluding the U.S., France, UAE, and Saudi Arabiaâreached out following Indiaâs retaliatory strikes. Tharoor emphasized that India is not seeking war, but acted against terrorism. Any message relayed to Pakistan was indirect, not part of a formal mediation process. Tharoor reaffirmed that India never initiated aggression, maintaining a clear stance: âIf they stop, we stop.â

In a dramatic diplomatic twist, Gulf powerhouses Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar reportedly urged President Trump to stand down from launching a military strike on Iran. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS), UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed (MBZ), and Qatari Emir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani warned that such action could provoke devastating Iranian retaliationâespecially against U.S. bases on Gulf soil. As fears of regional chaos mounted, the Gulf leaders pushed Trump toward diplomacy and a new nuclear deal instead of confrontation. Trump, meanwhile, told Israeli PM Netanyahu to hold back on unilateral action and hinted that a âvery strong documentâ with Iran could be signed soon.
