Anti-government protesters attacked a Communist Party office in northern Cuba early on Saturday, a state-run newspaper reported, in a rare outburst of public dissent triggered by worsening blackouts that have been exacerbated by a U.S. oil blockade. U.S. President Trump cut off Venezuelan oil shipments to Cuba and threatened to slap tariffs on any country that sells oil to Cuba, piling pressure on the economy already struggling with shortages of food, fuel, electricity and medicine. Public protests, particularly violent ones, are exceedingly rare in Cuba. State media outlet Vanguardia de Cuba dismissed online reports that the person lying on the ground had been shot by police. Fuel shortages have vastly reduced public transportation, making it difficult, if not impossible, for teachers and students to get together for classes.

ADVERTISEMENTAccording to a statement issued by the Prime Minister's Office (PMO), Sharif chaired a high-level meeting to review the impact of fuel price fluctuations and the implementation of government austerity measures. It added that the savings generated through the austerity measures would be used "only for public relief". In addition, the next two months' salaries of cabinet members, ministers, advisers and special assistants would also be "used as savings for public welfare". "The complete ban on foreign visits of government officers, ministers, ministers of state and special assistants will remain in place," the statement said, quoting the prime minister. Petroleum prices were raised by Rs 55 per litre last Friday, prompting the government to introduce several austerity measures to curb fuel consumption.

Taking a stern view of Sambhal district authorities placing restrictions on the number of worshippers at a mosque, the Allahabad High Court has asked the Sambhal Superintendent of Police and the District Magistrate to resign from their posts or opt for a transfer if they don’t find themselves competent enough to enforce the rule of law. A division bench of Justices Atul Sreedharan and Siddharth Nandan observed in its order, passed on February 27, “It is the duty of the State to ensure that every community is able to offer worship peacefully in the designated place of worship… and if it is a private property, as already held by the Court earlier, to perform worship without any permission from the State. This Court has already settled that it is only where prayers or religious functions have to be held on public land or spill over to public property that the involvement of the State is essential and permission must be sought.”

Iran will target American companies in the region if its energy facilities are attacked in the U.S.-Israeli war against the Islamic republic, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Saturday (March 14, 2026). "Our Armed Forces have already answered that they would retaliate if our oil and energy infrastructure are attacked," Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told MS NOW.

Ali Khamenei himself had never publicly suggested that Mojtaba could succeed him.

एक्सियोस की एक रिपोर्ट के मुताबिक, रूसी राष्ट्रपति पुतिन ने अमेरिका को सुझाव दिया था कि ईरान के पास मौजूद इनरिच यूरेनियम के पूरे भंडार को रूस में शिफ्ट कर दिया जाए. पुतिन का यह प्रस्ताव असल में तेहरान के साथ चल रहे अमेरिका-इजरायल युद्ध को खत्म करने की कोशिश का एक हिस्सा था. इसी बातचीत के दौरान पुतिन ने यूरेनियम को रूस शिफ्ट करने का यह फॉर्मूला पेश किया था. हालांकि, ट्रंप इस बात पर बिल्कुल सहमत नहीं हुए और उन्होंने पुतिन के इस अहम प्रस्ताव को सीधे तौर पर ठुकरा दिया. ट्रंप प्रशासन का मानना है कि ईरान के यूरेनियम भंडार को पूरी तरह से सुरक्षित करने के लिए किसी तीसरे पक्ष पर निर्भर रहने के बजाय अमेरिका को खुद इसे सुनिश्चित करना चाहिए.
