He criticized US media campaigns and said the island faces ongoing economic and energy hardships under the blockade, with support messages from China and Russia and rumors of talks in Mexico. The government plans measures to cope with the strain, highlighting the difficulty for both the state and Cuban people.

Iran’s Security Clampdown Keeps Protests Quiet as Economic Strains Build

Iran’s regime has violently suppressed protests with a nationwide security crackdown, curfews, and internet shutdowns, which appear to have quieted demonstrations for now but are unsustainable and unlikely to address the underlying grievances as the rial weakens and officials move hard currency abroad. Western sanctions target regime actors and financial networks, reinforcing economic pressure. In Syria, divisions within the SDF and PKK-linked leadership complicate talks with Damascus amid Turkish threat dynamics and tribal mobilization. The broader picture suggests potential for renewed unrest if security pressures erode or economic pain worsens.

The protests, which began on December 28, have seen limited participation in Tehran but more violence in western regions like Malekshahi, where a security officer was killed. Supreme Leader Khamenei acknowledged the protests but emphasized they are not yet nationwide and warned against violence, signaling ongoing tensions amid Iran's economic struggles.
