💔 "The day of the latest blackout on Sunday, the temperature hit 34° C
It marks just one of a growing number of struggles on the Caribbean island where day-to-day life has grown increasingly difficult since the US threatened to impose a tariff on any goods from countries that sell or provide it with oil. That was a debilitating blow after decades of US economic sanctions"

The United States prevented a Qatari ship from reaching Pakistan because it had used an Iranian route instead of an American one.
US is getting desperate. They can't stop Iran, so now they are going after others who don't obey by their rules.

#Cuba - #Solarpowered #tricycles help #Cubans navigate #FuelShortages and blockades
By ANDREA RODRÍGUEZ
Updated 4:38 PM UTC, July 10, 2026HAVANA (AP) — "Cuba’s iconic vintage cars have all but disappeared and in their place, small electric tricycles — most of them made in China — have become the primary means of transportation for hundreds of thousands of Cubans grappling with a prolonged fuel crisis.
These are no ordinary electric tricycles — many Cubans have outfitted them with #SolarPanels, allowing the vehicles to recharge without relying on the island nation’s strained power grid."The three-wheelers are a far cry from the old-timers that only a year ago cruised the streets spewing clouds of black smoke.
" 'This is how people get around now,' said 40-year-old Liecer de la Cruz, who owns one of these vehicles.
"The tricycles, with a cost between $2,000 and $4,000, are used to transport goods and serve fixed routes once covered by buses.
"While their price is out of reach for most Cubans, many have sold their older gasoline-powered cars to buy the tricycles. Others got them from relatives abroad, where they are generally cheaper, and some small-business owners even used their profits to invest in them, expecting to recoup the cost."

Azadeh Mokhtari Iranian journalist on x.com (auto translated, with minor edits)
When (cooking) oil has risen 431%, eggs 343%, chicken 287%, and rice more than 200% in price, it is no longer a question of #basketofliving; it is a question of gradual removal (of basic food items) from people's tables.
This situation prevails while production and market signs indicate greater inflation in the coming months.
The nation has been condemned to endure difficult journeys
THE ECONOMICAL HARDSHIP IN IRAN IS REACHING CATASTROPHIC LEVEL FOR THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE POPULATION.

According to Iranian government, the inflammation in April 2026 was the highest in the country since world war 2.
Prices went up over 70% putting enormous pressure on the vast majority of Iranians who were already struggling before the disastrous war by US and Israel since February.
Red meat, fruits and chicken have become luxury food for most Iranians, while a very small minority have seen a massive hike in their income because of the blockade and the economical war that hiked the prices to sky high.
Even government officials are warning about consequences of the collapse of the economy that will lead to untest and increase in crimes across the board.

Price of a bag of rice has reached 1.79 million toman in Iran.
As the import of goods has decreased significantly since the American blockade of Iran, the price of domestic rice has increased by almost 70% since December.
The war related inflammation has made life much harder than it was before and the most vulnerable people in the country suffering much more than ever.

Protests in Tehran against the recent price hikes.
Woman holding a handwritten sign:
The 3rd phase of the war is "economic"
It is the turn of the executive and judiciary branches to take the lead (the exact translation is: It is the turn of the executive and judiciary branches to sit by the launchers). -

Four tankers were apparently struck or disabled by the U.S. forces near Iran’s Jask area.
Satellite imagery shows one tanker on fire and extensive oil spills, including leaks from two tankers, with another spill detected about 7.4 kilometers from the anchorage site.
Trump's war is causing the biggest environmental disaster in modern history.
This is so infuriating.

Iranian currency keep losing value.
Today's exchange rate is 1825000 rial to one US$.
Before the 1979 revolution à US$ was 73 rials.
Before the US and Israel war on Iran it was 1million rial, which means a loss of over 80% of its value in 3 months.
