Who Is Rama Duwaji: The Syrian-American Artist Behind Zohran Mamdani’s Rise | NYC’s Next First Lady?

Rama Duwaji—artist, activist, and wife of NYC Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani—has stepped into the spotlight after months of silence. The 27-year-old Syrian-American illustrator, known for her pro-Palestinian work, had avoided campaign publicity, sparking controversy and speculation. Critics claimed her art and political stance made her a liability. But on June 24, as Mamdani celebrated his win, she stood beside him—silent, composed, present. Born in Texas, raised partly in Dubai, Duwaji's work explores Gaza, race, identity, and dissent. Her pieces have supported Palestinian students and questioned U.S. policies. She and Mamdani met on a dating app, married in a private ceremony, and have since become one of NYC’s most-watched political couples. Now, as Mamdani eyes City Hall, all eyes are on Rama Duwaji—the woman who may soon be NYC’s first lady. #RamaDuwaji #ZohranMamdani #NYCPolitics #PalestineSolidarity #SyrianAmerican #ArtistActivist #NYCMayorRace #MiraNair #ArabAmerican #FirstLadyNYC #BrooklynArtist #ProgressivePolitics #GazaArt #PoliticalIllustration #WomensVoices #IdentityArt #MuslimVoices #NYCNews #LoveAndPolitics #MiddleEasternArt ~HT.178~ED.346~

U.S Fires 150 THAAD Missiles During Iran War, Burning Through $1.9 billion in Just 12 days

During the recent 12-day war between Iran and Israel, the United States fired over 150 THAAD interceptors, exhausting nearly 25% of its total stockpile and racking up costs estimated at $1.9 billion. While the U.S. deployed its most advanced missile defense systems to shield Israeli territory, dozens of Iranian missiles still struck their targets — raising alarming questions about the limits of missile defense saturation and America’s readiness for future conflicts. The Pentagon now faces a growing stockpile crisis, with only 11 THAAD missiles produced in 2024 and a slow ramp-up planned for 2025 and 2026. As tensions continue to rise across the Middle East and Asia, the strategic shortfall of THAAD interceptors is being watched closely by major powers like China and Russia. This report includes archival visuals of Trump-era THAAD deployments, Iranian missile attacks, and exclusive coverage of defense developments as the U.S. military reassesses its global missile defense posture. #THAAD #IranIsraelWar #MissileDefense #Pentagon #USMilitary #IranMissiles #DefenseNews #MiddleEastConflict #ChinaThreat #IsraelUnderAttack #BallisticMissiles #MissileStrike #USvsIran #MilitaryBudget #Geopolitics

NATO DIVIDED: Germany, France, UK Join Hands On Palestine | Europe’s Big Three Turn Against Israel?
