@DiazCanelB @AsambleaCuba Cuba loves the triple jump!
English

¡Leyanis, otra vez!
Muchas felicidades pinareña por revalidar tu corona mundial bajo techo en Torun con un salto de 14.95 metros, igualando la mejor marca del año. Y nada menos que frente a Yulimar Rojas, que volvió a pisar fuerte con 14.86.
No es casualidad: es constancia y talento, por tercera ocasión la reina mundial del triple es cubana.

“I can categorically confirm, and this is implied in what the President said, that the Cuban political system is not subject to negotiation, and of course neither the President nor the position of any leader in Cuba is subject to negotiation with the US...”

🗞️ The Trump administration has reportedly begun “initial discussions” on what potential peace talks with Iran could look like, according to Axios, with officials still expecting another 2–3 weeks of fighting,
🔸U.S. officials said Washington would seek several commitments from Iran in any deal, namely:
1. No missile program for five years
2. Zero uranium enrichment
3. Decommission Natanz, Isfahan, Fordow
4. Strict monitoring of centrifuges
5. Regional missile cap of 1,000
6. End support for groups like Hezbollah, Houthis, Hamas
7. Reopen the Strait of Hormuz
8. Any deal would also reportedly need to address Iran’s stockpile of highly enriched uranium.
🔸Trump envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff are reportedly involved in shaping the framework.
🔸There has been no direct U.S.-Iran contact, with messages Axios says passed through Egypt, Qatar, and the U.K. instead.
🔸Iran has not confirmed specific mediation channels, but Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi hinted at involvement of other countries, when he told Japan’s Kyodo News on Saturday morning that Tehran is open to initiatives that would fully end the war:
“We are ready to listen and consider. But right now, although some countries are trying to find a solution, the U.S. does not seem ready to stop its aggression. So we will continue to defend ourselves.”
🔸He also rejects a ceasefire without guarantees and compensation: “The war must be completely and permanently ended, and there must be guarantees that this situation will not be repeated. Additionally, the damages that have been inflicted on Iran must be compensated,” Araghchi told Kyodo News.

@AmirAminiMD Don’t know if they will, but they definitely shouldn’t.

Not a single Iranian, dead or alive, will ever sit down to negotiate with this administration again.

🇮🇷🇮🇱⚡️– Ali Alizadeh on the assassination of Ali Larijani:
“Israel is selling these attacks as form of artificially intelligent oriented smart wars. The way they assassinated Ali Larijani, it had nothing to do with smart wars. In order to detect where he is, they come up with six or seven places and they bomb all of them in a blind way. In order to assassinate Ali Larijani, Israeli terrorist regime killed more than 500 people. And that’s what they call a smart wars.”

🚨 NOBODY IS TELLING YOU HOW FUCKED REGULAR AMERICANS ARE RIGHT NOW.
Not the news. Not your politicians. Not Trump.
So I will.
Three weeks ago — February 28, 2026 — Trump launched a war on Iran.
That same day, your wallet started bleeding out.
Here's every price that's gone up on you since then:
⛽ GAS
Before war: $2.93/gallon
Today: $3.91/gallon
That's +$0.98 per gallon. +33%. In 20 DAYS. ⚠️
🛒 GROCERIES
Perishables going up first — dairy, fruits, vegetables, fish
Beef already at multi-year highs (smallest herd in 75 years)
Food transport costs rising DAILY as diesel spikes 💀
🏠 RENT & HOUSING
Mortgage rates JUMPED the week war started
"Undoing progress in housing affordability" — CNN
Average rent in a mid-tier city: $2,000+/month ⚠️
✈️ FLIGHTS
Airlines will raise fares as jet fuel costs explode 💀
🏥 HEALTHCARE
Interest rates frozen — no Fed relief coming ⚠️
🌊 THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ
25% of all global seaborne oil trade passes through it.
It's effectively closed.
The IEA called it the LARGEST OIL SUPPLY SHOCK IN HISTORY. 💀
⚠️ For context — the 1973 oil crisis caused a recession, fuel rationing, and ended a presidency.
That impacted roughly 7% of global oil supply.
This impacts 25%.
Now.
They're showing you maps of Iran.
They're NOT showing you the math.
$300 million.
That's what American families are paying EXTRA every single day just to fill their tanks.
Not to fund missiles. Just to drive to work. Drive their kids to school. Exist.
First week of the war? $11 BILLION. Out of American pockets. Gone.
$220 million a day goes to Operation Epic Fury.
Every second of that spending = 577 school lunches.
But there's "no money" for school lunches.
There's "no money" for healthcare.
There's "no money" for student debt.
There's "no money" for veterans.
They found $200 BILLION overnight for bombs.
Meanwhile: 💀
– Lockheed Martin stock: UP 34% in 2026
– Northrop Grumman: UP 25.8%
– Raytheon (RTX): UP 9.7%
– Huntington Ingalls: UP 26.7%
– Defense giants total profit surge: $30 BILLION while bombs were falling
Your gas went up 33% so Lockheed could gain 34%.
You're getting robbed in real time and CNN is showing you drone footage.
66% of Americans were already living paycheck to paycheck before February 28.
Consumer confidence just hit its LOWEST point of 2026.
The Fed won't cut rates. Inflation is about to spike. Groceries are about to get worse.
JD Vance told you to "find comfort" that our allies are "suffering more than we are."
That's the plan. You suffer. They profit.
In 6 months, if the Strait stays closed, economists say food and fuel inflation could hit double digits.
Your paycheck will not keep up.
This is not a foreign policy disagreement.
This is the most expensive wealth transfer in American history.
And nobody is talking about it.
Prepare accordingly. 🚨🚨🚨

@shooter4_22 I love the claim she’s not a team player. You mean the woman who leads every game in assists? 🤦🏼♀️

Hey, friends. We got the Strait of Hormuz closed. It’s your problem now. See ya’!
(P.S. — the idea that the closure of the Strait doesn’t affect the US is, of course, utter nonsense. #MoronWithAWarOn)

@hyphy_republic And that’s “average”. Some people are paying that much more per week.

Here in Silicon Valley, it’s the people who work low-paid jobs as restaurant workers, teachers, cleaners, nurses, and so on, who have to commute long-distances from the Central Valley and East Bay. This war and its high gas prices is imposing a massive tax on them, not the rich.

Every few years, the NYT rediscovers that a small number of rich people run the economy and pass down war and financial crisis to the middle class and poor, who constitute the rest, and vast majority, of the US population nytimes.com/2026/03/20/bus…
