🔊🎶 - Reposted from @advocartsy: “We’re delighted to share a glimpse of our exhibition currently on view at the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts, presented alongside ENGLISH, written by Sanaz Toossi and directed by Knud Adams.

These installation views offer a closer look at the exhibition, which is curated in dialogue with the play—centering on Iranian women navigating language and self-expression-and extends this inquiry through visual form.

Bringing together a diverse group of Iranian artists across generations and mediums, the exhibition focuses on women as its central subject. Across these works, women are not presented as a singular narrative, but as complex, evolving presences shaped by culture, memory, and lived experience.

The presentation reflects ADVOCARTSY’s mission to advance awareness of artists of Iranian origin and to help bridge cultural gaps by bringing their work to wider audiences.

On view through April 26 — we warmly invite you to experience it in person.

For inquiries, please email us at info@advocartsy.com or visit us at ADVOCARTSY.com”

BRUSSELS, April 15 (Reuters) – The European Commis

BRUSSELS, April 15 (Reuters) – The European Commission plans to propose temporary measures such as grants, subsidies, tax breaks and loans to mitigate the impact of the Iran war on agriculture, fisheries and transport, a draft Commission document seen by Reuters showed.

The Commission is currently consulting member states before it adopts a final version by the end of April. Once adopted, these aid measures will be granted until the end of the year and will cover a portion of up to 50% of extra fuel and fertilizer costs arising from the Iran crisis.

The temporary measures will complement existing state aid rules and “allow member states to address the specific unexpected, sudden, and significant cost increases,” the draft said. This aid is directed specifically toward businesses in the agricultural, fishery, road transport, and intra-EU short-sea shipping sectors.

Global fertilizer prices have jumped in recent weeks following the near total closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow shipping route along Iran‘s coast. Much of the world’s fertilizer is made in the Middle East, with one-third of global trade in it sailing through Hormuz. The United Nations warned on Wednesday fertilizer shortages would hit food security and therefore stability in developing nations hardest.

“In March 2026, the price increase for nitrogen fertiliser in the EU, amid ongoing developments in the Persian Gulf, rose sharply and currently stands around 58% above 2024 averages,” the draft said.

April 15 (Reuters) – Iran secretly acquired a Chin

April 15 (Reuters) – Iran secretly acquired a Chinese spy satellite in late 2024 that has allowed it to target U.S. military bases across the Middle East during the current war, the Financial Times reported on Wednesday, an account Beijing dismissed as untrue.

The TEE-01B satellite, built and launched by Chinese company Earth Eye Co, was acquired by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ Aerospace Force after it was launched into space from China, the report said, citing leaked Iranian military documents.

Iranian military commanders directed the satellite to monitor major U.S. military sites, the newspaper said, citing time-stamped coordinate lists, satellite imagery and orbital analysis. The images were taken in March before and after drone and missile strikes on those locations, the Financial Times said.

DUBAI/WASHINGTON, April 15 (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump said the war with Iran was close to over, telling the world to brace for an “amazing two days”, as the army chief of mediator Pakistan arrived in Tehran in a bid to prevent a renewed conflict.

The diplomatic push came as U.S. and Iranian officials weighed a return to Pakistan for further talks after negotiations there ended on Sunday without a breakthrough.

Pakistan’s military confirmed Field Marshal Asim Munir had arrived in Tehran. A senior Iranian source told Reuters that Munir, who had mediated the last round of talks, was heading to Iran “to narrow gaps” between the two sides.

WASHINGTON, April 14 (Reuters) – The Trump administration will allow a 30-day waiver of sanctions on Iranian oil at sea to expire later this week, two administration officials told Reuters on Tuesday, as the U.S. imposes a blockade on shipments from Iranian ports.

The move signals that “Treasury is going full force on Economic Fury,” on Iran, an apparent reference to Operation Epic Fury, the U.S.-led military campaign against the country, one of the officials said.

The Trump administration has long said it is applying “maximum pressure” on Iran over its nuclear program and support for militants across the Middle East, though sanctioned oil has continued to reach China.

The waiver, which the Treasury Department issued on March 20, allowed some 140 million barrels of oil to reach global markets and helped relieve pressure on energy supply during the war on Iran, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said last month. The waiver is set to expire on April 19.

The move to not renew the waiver on oil follows lawmakers from both political parties criticizing the administration for temporarily relaxing sanctions on Tehran and Moscow, while the U.S. and Israel are at war with Iran and as Moscow continues its war with Ukraine. The U.S. also did not renew the waiver on Russian oil at sea which expired on Saturday, the sources said.

Washington has a range of penalties it can apply to institutions involved in illicit activities with Iran such as buying its oil, including secondary sanctions, one of the sources said.

“In addition, with the snapback of U.N. sanctions on Iran, and its history of trying to hide behind seemingly legitimate activity to conduct its illicit conduct, any activity with Tehran could trigger additional sanctions,” the person said.

ISLAMABAD/WASHINGTON/DUBAI, April 14 (Reuters) – Negotiators from the U.S. and Iran could return to Islamabad this week to resume talks to end the war, sources told Reuters on Tuesday, after the collapse of weekend negotiations prompted Washington to impose a blockade on Iranian ports.

While the U.S. blockade drew angry rhetoric from Tehran, signs that diplomatic engagement might continue helped calm oil markets, pushing benchmark prices below $100 on Tuesday.

The highest-level talks between the two adversaries since the 1979 Islamic Revolution ended in the Pakistani capital without a breakthrough at the weekend, raising doubts over the survival of a two-week ceasefire that still has a week to run.

However, a source involved in the talks said on Tuesday both countries could return as early as the end of this week, and that a proposal had been shared with Washington and Tehran to resend their delegations.

“No firm date has been set, with the delegations keeping Friday through Sunday open,” a senior Iranian source said.

U.S. President Donald Trump said Iran had been in touch on Monday and wanted to make a deal, adding that he would not sanction any agreement that allowed Tehran to possess a nuclear weapon.

Since the United States and Israel began the war on February 28, Iran effectively shut the Strait of Hormuz to nearly all vessels except its own, saying passage would be permitted only under Iranian control and subject to a fee. Nearly a fifth of global oil and gas supplies previously flowed through the narrow waterway, making the fallout widespread.
