Russia, Iran, and China began the 'Maritime Security Belt 2026' exercises on Thursday, focusing on countering maritime threats like piracy through coordinated special forces operations near the Strait of Hormuz. The drills come amid rising U.S.-Iran friction over Tehran's nuclear program, with President Trump issuing a short deadline for a deal and deploying carriers, drones, and bombers to the region. A Russian command plane's arrival in Tehran fueled online worries of escalation, though experts call it posturing tied to deepening Moscow-Tehran ties rather than war preparations.

The Republican-controlled Arizona Senate approved Senate Bill 1010 on February 18, designating the 78-mile Loop 202 freeway as the 'Charlie Kirk Highway' in memory of Kirk, who was assassinated on September 10, 2025, while speaking at Utah Valley University. Sponsored by senators like Rick Petersen and Jake Hoffman, the bill passed on party lines and now awaits House approval; it requires signage from the Arizona Department of Transportation without changing other names. Lawmakers also advanced a specialty license plate memorializing Kirk, with proceeds partly funding a Turning Point USA-aligned nonprofit, amid a divided government where Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs' office offered no comment.
