🦠 The World Health Organization’s (WHO) Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus on Wednesday expressed hope that the COVID-19 pandemic ends in 2023.
💬 "COVID-19 will no doubt still be a major topic of discussion, but I believe and hope that with the right efforts this will be the year the public health emergency officially ends," Tedros told a briefing.
The WHO chief added that the world is now in "a much better place" than it was a few years ago due to improvements in clinical care, vaccines and treatments.
However, there are still serious disparities in "access to testing, treatment and vaccination," and ultimately COVID-19 remains "a dangerous virus" for human health, the economy and society at large, he added.

🇷🇺🇮🇷 Moscow and Tehran signed a contract on Wednesday to build a vessel based on an order by the regional office of the Islamic Republic of Iran Shipping Line Group (IRISL) located in Solyanka, a port near the Russian city of Astrakhan, Iranian media reported.
Iran's consul general in Russia's port of Astrakhan, Mehdi Akouchakian, was cited as saying by Iranian media that adding a new vessel to the IRISL fleet would help reduce the final price of Iranian exports in the region. In addition, the official said, as cited in the report, that the decision to order the new vessel is a sign that Iran and Russia are strengthening their ties.
Commenting on the deal, IRISL CEO Mohammad Reza Modarres Khiabani said at the signing ceremony that such initiatives could enhance trade and transportation ties between Russia and Iran, as cited in the report.

💬 "The US has provided so much support, the West has gotten behind U.S. sanctions to a degree that is deindustrializing Europe. Europeans are basically volunteering themselves in line with the US to destroy their own economies and impoverish their own people. And they have admitted this to get behind the US on Ukraine. Does he expect every boy from Topeka, Kansas, to be marching into Crimea tomorrow? I don't think that many people take John Bolton seriously any more," says Mark Sleboda, a military and political analyst.

Cristiano Ronaldo Banned From Making Debut for Saudi Arabia's Al-Nassr
Newly surfaced reports have indicated football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo will be unavailable to make his official debut for Saudi Arabia's Al-Nassr club on Thursday as he's expected to serve out a two-match ban.
The ban was handed down by the FA after Ronaldo smacked a cellphone out of the hand of an Everton fan at a match in April between Everton and Manchester United, his former club. The 14-year-old fan’s mother said his hand had been left “bruised,” and that he was “in complete shock” due to Ronaldo's outburst. The boy was also reportedly autistic.

🇸🇾 Despite crushing Western sanctions and the US occupation of its oil and food-rich northeastern territories, Syrian and foreign archeologists have defiantly continued to restore landmarks from ancient civilizations long gone that were damaged and looted by terrorists during the long-running foreign-backed war in the Middle Eastern country.
Syrian media have released images showing progress in the restoration of the Krak des Chevaliers (lit. "Fortress of the Kurds"), an ancient medieval castle situated outside the city of Homs, western Syria.
