President Prabowo Subianto attended the peak of the 28th anniversary of the National Awakening Party (PKB) with the theme "Prabowonomics" at the Jakarta Convention Center (JCC), Jakarta, on July 23, 2026. Prabowo's "londo ireng" sarcasm against journalists, observers, and NGOs drew widespread condemnation. The Alliance of Independent Journalists (AJI) strongly condemned the accusations of anti-criticism and urged the president to apologize publicly. Meanwhile, civil society elements assessed that this labeling reflects an intimidating style of communication among those in power, which aims to control society. Tempo/Imam Sukamto

1. How Iran Reacted to Prabowo's Nuclear Remarks

The Iranian Embassy in Indonesia emphasized that its country has never developed nuclear weapons and never will.

The Iranian Embassy in Indonesia issued this denial through its official social media accounts, including Instagram (@IraninIndonesia), on Sunday, August 2, 2026. The post was accompanied by an infographic titled "The Islamic Republic of Iran's Nuclear Program." Read more here.

The pair, who quietly married after confirming their engagement earlier this year, have spent much of the summer promoting two major productions: Marvel's Spider-Man: Brand New Day and Christopher Nolan's epic The Odyssey.

3. What to Watch Before 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day': Essential MCU Movies

Spider-Man: Brand New Day is finally arriving in theaters, marking Tom Holland’s return as Peter Parker four years after the events of Spider-Man: No Way Home.

While the latest Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) installment continues Peter’s story, viewers do not need to watch dozens of Marvel movies to understand it.

For audiences who have not kept up with the MCU, the amount of backstory may seem overwhelming. However, Brand New Day requires far less preparation than many previous Marvel crossover films. Check out what movies to watch before Spider-Man: Brand New Day here.
