The cartoon depicts Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei seated alone at a long conference table, raising his hand as if calling a vote on a deal with President Trump. Empty chairs and scattered coffee cups underscore the isolation of the moment. The red text above reads 'ALL IN FAVOR OF CUTTING A DEAL WITH TRUMP...' The June 2025 drawing responds to recent Iran-Israel clashes and renewed US diplomatic efforts. It highlights the internal debate within Tehran over whether to engage Washington directly on nuclear limits. The image uses the vacant room to suggest limited support inside Iran for any compromise.

Marian Kamensky's cartoon titled 'Peace Talks in Rome' depicts the Pope astride a giant white dove, olive branch in its beak, as he whips it forward with a cross. Below, caricatures of Trump, Putin, and Zelensky kneel on the ground, engaged in a scuffle with punches and pulling. Set against a nighttime Roman skyline with domes and crosses, the scene captures tension in Ukraine Russia relations. Stars and moon add a surreal touch to this satirical commentary on international diplomacy involving key figures like the Pope and world leaders.
