- Global Inflation likely Rises
- U.S. Gas Prices likely Skyrocket. Potential $5–$7/gallon range depending on duration
- Military Escalation Risk. U.S. Navy and allies likely to respond
- Tanker delays affect oil, LNG, and related goods

The image shows a husky dog lying on a person's lap, with its head resting on the person's thigh. The husky has a distinctive black and white coat with a mix of gray and white fur on its back. Its eyes are a striking blue, and it has a relaxed expression. The person's leg is visible, covered by dark blue shorts with a white stripe. In the background, there is a bicycle leaning against the wall and a computer monitor on a desk. The room has a light-colored wall and a window with blinds. Another dog, possibly a black and tan husky, is lying behind the husky in the foreground. The scene appears to be indoors, likely in a living room or bedroom.

🔴Irán ataca la base militar estadounidense de Al Udeid, en Qatar

En lisant un article de @politis , je me suis rendu compte que c'était tout pareil que l'interview de l'ambassadeur israélien sur france 2 ce matin : pas de mention de génocide, une guerre contre le Hamas qui finira "à l'instant où le Hamas rendra les otages" etc. Le présentateur a un peu tenté de demandé si quand même ça valait le coup de bombarder mais a vite arrêté devant l'absence de réponse de l'ambassadeur.

The image depicts a fantasy-themed illustration of a female elf-like character seated on an ornate throne. She has pointed ears, long dark hair, and wears a detailed green dress with feather-like shoulder accents. Her expression is serious, and she holds a glowing green staff with a blue gem at the end, emitting a mystical aura. The background features classical architecture with columns and arches, enhancing the regal atmosphere. The character's attire and the staff suggest a connection to magic or power. The overall color palette is dark and rich, with green and brown tones dominating the scene.

in reply to Ambiente • • •Il video inizia con un'immagine aerea di un gruppo di persone che si riuniscono su una piazza pavimentata, tenendo un grande striscione bianco. Inizialmente, il striscione è parzialmente visibile e le persone lo stanno srotolando. Il gruppo è composto da individui di diverse età e stili, alcuni dei quali indossano abiti casual. Un bambino in un vestito rosa è visibile a sinistra del gruppo. Sul lato destro dell'immagine, c'è una persona che cammina con un passeggino. Il gruppo lavora insieme per srotolare il striscione, che si rivelerà essere un messaggio politico. Il testo sullo striscione, una volta completamente srotolato, recita: "If you can rent Venice for your wedding, you can pay more tax." Questo messaggio critica la ricchezza e la spesa per eventi esclusivi, sottolineando il contrasto tra la ricchezza e le imposte. La piazza è circondata da edifici storici con tetti rossi, e l'immagine è ripresa da un'angolazione elevata, offrendo una vista panoramica della piazza e del contesto urbano circostante.
