Today Superteam IE was at @DCU, with @A_gutierro speaking with Master's and PhD students about blockchain, fintech and opportunities in Ireland. The session explored @solana, what we do at Superteam, and how students can get involved. Thank you to DCU and @arefmahdavi, Director of finLAB @BusinessDCUfor for hosting us. We look forward to more activations in future.

The world would benefit if Iran was turned from being a nuclear threat and an exporter of violence across the Middle East into a tolerant, stable trading power—but protests alone don’t end tyranny economist.com/leaders/2026/0…

People in Iran deserve to live free. The European Parliament will keep pushing to designate the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organisation. It would mean further degradation of the IRGC's ability to operate with impunity, disrupt their cash flow, their modus operandi and underline that they will find no safe haven. Equally importantly, it would send a strong message to the brave Iranians on the streets that Europe has heard them, that we stand with them and we have acted against their tormentors.

We have sanctions already placed against Iran, along with our European Union colleagues. We have called for an end to the repression. There is a need for different governance, greater freedoms, the right to free assembly and free speech. That remains our position.
