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.

sraelâs Defense Minister Israel Katz has issued a chilling warning to Yemenâs Houthi rebels after a ballistic missile was intercepted by Israeli defenses late Tuesday. Katz declared, âYemen will be treated like Tehran,â referencing recent joint Israeli-U.S. airstrikes on suspected nuclear sites in Iran. As air raid sirens rang out across central Israel and civilians scrambled for shelters, Katz warned: âWhoever raises a hand against Israel â that hand will be cut off.â
The intercepted missile, launched from Houthi-controlled Yemen, marks yet another escalation in the widening Middle East conflict. With Iran-backed militias in Lebanon, Iraq, and now Yemen intensifying attacks, analysts warn of a growing multi-front war. Will Israel carry out a preemptive strike on Yemen? Could U.S. bombers return to the skies?

Hezbollahâs Deputy Secretary-General Sheikh Naim Qassem delivers a fiery warning to Israel and the U.S., vowing that Lebanon will never surrender to foreign âtyranny.â Speaking from Beirut, Qassem declared the resistance against Israeli occupation and American influence as âdivine and unstoppable.â As Israeli strikes escalate in South Lebanon, Hezbollah calls for national unity, warns against Western-backed factions, and frames its struggle as one for dignity, justice, and regional sovereignty. A bold message amid rising Middle East tensions.

In blatant defiance of a ceasefire agreement, Israeli drone strikes on Saturday killed at least two people and wounded several others in southern Lebanon. A drone strike in Mahrouna targeted a motorcycle, killing one and injuring two bystanders in a passing car. Hours earlier, another Israeli UAV strike hit a vehicle in Kounine, killing a Hezbollah resistance fighter, identified as Hassan Mohammad Jumaa.
These attacks mark yet another violation of the extended truce that began on November 27 and was supposed to hold past February 18. Despite its expiration, Lebanon had hoped for stability, but Israelâs continued occupation of strategic southern areas and recurring strikes have reignited regional tensions. Beirut has condemned the aggression and vowed to take âall necessary measuresâ to end Israelâs unlawful military presence. The international community remains silent as Tel Aviv pushes the boundaries of legality and human rights with impunity.

In its most chilling warning yet, Iran has vowed a far more devastating retaliation against Israel if aggression continues. Major General Abdolrahim Mousavi declared that Iran held back during its June 24 counterattack and did not unleash its full military capabilities. The warning comes after Israelâs June 13 assassination strike on top Iranian military and nuclear figures, followed by U.S. airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites. Speaking to Al-Mayadeen, Mousavi accused Israel and its allies of years-long plots against Iran and warned that any further provocation would be met with overwhelming force.

Israel's War Exposed: Graphic CCTV Contradicts Netanyahu's Claims On Iran Attack | World News
New, disturbing footage has emerged online showing the devastating impact of Israeli airstrikes on what appears to be a civilian area in Iran, raising serious questions about the nature of the recent conflict.
This report analyzes startling new CCTV footage that reveals the harrowing moments of an Israeli airstrike in Iran. The visuals, which have gone viral, show a busy road packed with vehicles being bombed in a heavy air raid. The clip captures cars being blown into the air and shows the attack striking not just a building, but a road jammed with unsuspecting civilians. While the footageâs exact location is yet to be confirmed, reports from Press TV suggest it originated from a region in northern Iran.
The emergence of this graphic evidence directly challenges Israel's official stance that its military actions were aimed at Iran's leadership and not its people. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had previously called on the Iranian people to rise against their government. However, with over 900 people reportedly losing their lives during the conflict, this footage is fueling international criticism and accusations from netizens that Israel targeted civilian zones without justification.
This video breaks down the controversial footage, examines the claims and counter-claims from both Israel and Iran, and provides context on the wider geopolitical conflict. The war, which saw heightened tensions across the Middle East, eventually ceased after Iran conducted a retaliatory strike on U.S. bases in the region.

Ahead of the United States' Independence Day celebrations, federal agencies have issued a serious warning about potential terrorist attacks, specifically from lone wolf actors. This elevated threat level is a direct consequence of escalating tensions in the Middle East, where the U.S. has become more involved in the ongoing Israel-Iran conflict. The situation intensified after U.S. B-2 Spirit bombers conducted a major operation on June 22, dropping heavy bunker buster bombs on three of Iran's nuclear facilities in a strategic move to aid Israel.
In response to the potential for retaliatory attacks, security has been visibly bolstered across the country. New York Governor Kathy Hochul has identified lone wolves as the "greatest threat" to July 4th events, announcing an increased presence of State Police and the deployment of National Guard units at major transportation hubs, bridges, and tunnels throughout New York City. Authorities are also closely monitoring social media for any signs of cyber threats or domestic terror plots.
The threat is not limited to New York. An FBI bulletin has specifically warned that San Francisco's famous fireworks show could be a target for a mass casualty attack. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has officially raised the national threat level to "Heightened" and stated it will remain in effect until September 22, citing the direct link to the escalating conflict between Iran and the U.S. While no specific or credible plots have been identified, federal and state agencies remain on high alert to counter any security situation that may arise during the holiday.

The Muslim World League has strongly condemned Iranâs strikes on U.S. bases in Qatar, calling them a blatant violation of Islamic values. This rare rebuke underscores Iranâs deepening isolation within the Muslim world amid its war against the U.S. and Israel. No Islamic nation has come to Iranâs aidâmilitarily or diplomatically. Long criticized for its expansionist policies and use of proxies, Iran now finds itself increasingly abandoned as regional powers step back, signaling a collapse of strategic tolerance.

Amid rising Iran-Israel tensions, the Israeli military has killed senior Hezbollah commander Mohammad Khadr al-Husseini in southern Lebanon, citing an urgent threat to its northern border. The strike follows Hezbollahâs pledge to retaliate against Israeli and U.S. actions. Two other key Hezbollah commanders were also killed earlier this week. Defense Minister Israel Katz warned that Israelâs patience has run out. This comes as Hezbollah, once Tehranâs strongest proxy, reels from leadership losses, financial strain, and disrupted supply lines after Syriaâs fall, signaling deep cracks in Iran's regional resistance axis.
