الإنجليزي لغة ممتعة أوي 🐝✨

٣ سنين من النجاح المستمر… وأكتر من 1.2 مليون طالب في آخر سنة بس شاركوا في مسابقة نحلة الأزهر للتهجي.

بالتعاون مع الأزهر، جمعت السفارة الأمريكية في القاهرة أشطر الطلاب من KG1 لحد الصف الثالث الثانوي علشان يعرضوا مهاراتهم في اللغة الإنجليزية.

طب تفتكروا ده مهم ليه؟ لأن الإنجليزي بيفتح أبواب الفرص 🚪🌎 وبيعتبر لغة العلم والتكنولوجيا والبزنس وكمان لغة التواصل مع العالم… وأداة قوية نقدر نبني بيها مستقبل أكتر أمان وازدهار. 🇺🇸 🇪🇬

الف مبروك للمراكز ال٣ الأولى من كل سنة دراسية!🏆🎉

هنستناكم السنة الجاية علشان تنافسوا وتحتفظوا باللقب. 😉

English is so fun🐝✨

Over 1.2 million students. Three years strong. One incredible spelling Bee competition.

In partnership with Al-Azhar, U.S. Embassy Cairo brought together Egypt’s brightest minds from KG1 to Grade 12 to showcase their English skills.

Why does it matter? Because English opens doors. 🚪🌎 It’s the language of science, tech, business, and global connection - a powerful tool for building a more secure and prosperous future. 🇺🇸🇪🇬

Huge congrats to our top 3 winners in each grade! 🏆🎉

See you next year to defend those titles.😉

Joint Statement on Iran’s Missile and Drone Attacks in the Region - United States Department of State 02/03/2026

بيان مشترك بشأن الهجمات الصاروخية وهجمات الطائرات المسيّرة الإيرانية في المنطقة.

تدين الولايات المتحدة والبحرين والأردن والكويت وقطر والمملكة العربية السعودية ودولة الإمارات العربية المتحدة بشدة الهجمات الصاروخية وهجمات الطائرات المسيّرة العشوائية والمتهورة التي شنتها إيران ضد أراضٍ ذات سيادة في المنطقة، بما في ذلك البحرين والعراق وإقليم كردستان في العراق والأردن والكويت وعُمان وقطر والمملكة العربية السعودية ودولة الإمارات العربية المتحدة.

وقد استهدفت هذه الضربات غير المبررة أراضٍ ذات سيادة، وعرّضت المدنيين للخطر، وألحقت أضرارًا بالبنية التحتية المدنية.

إن تصرفات إيران تمثل تصعيدًا خطيرًا ينتهك سيادة عدة دول ويهدد الاستقرار الإقليمي. كما أن استهداف المدنيين والدول غير المنخرطة في الأعمال العدائية سلوك متهور ومزعزع للاستقرار.

نقف صفًا واحدًا دفاعًا عن مواطنينا وسيادتنا وأراضينا، ونجدد تأكيد حقنا في الدفاع عن النفس في مواجهة هذه الهجمات.

ونؤكد التزامنا بأمن المنطقة، ونشيد بالتعاون الفعّال في مجال الدفاع الجوي والصاروخي، الذي حال دون وقوع خسائر أكبر في الأرواح وأضرار أوسع نطاقًا.

Joint Statement on Iran’s Missile and Drone Attacks in the Region

The United States, Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, Qatar, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates strongly condemn the Islamic Republic of Iran’s indiscriminate and reckless missile and drone attacks against sovereign territories across the region, including Bahrain, Iraq — including the Iraqi Kurdistan Region — Jordan, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates. These unjustified strikes targeted sovereign territory, endangered civilian populations, and damaged civilian infrastructure.

The Islamic Republic’s actions represent a dangerous escalation that violates the sovereignty of multiple states and threatens regional stability. The targeting of civilians and of countries not engaged in hostilities is reckless and destabilizing behavior.

We stand united in defense of our citizens, sovereignty, and territory, and reaffirm our right to self-defense in the face of these attacks. We remain committed to regional security and commend the effective air and missile defense cooperation that has prevented far greater loss of life and destruction.

Joint Statement on Iran’s Missile and Drone Attacks in the Region - United States Department of State The text of the following statement was released by the Governments of the United States of America and Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, Qatar, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates on the occasion of recent missile and drone attacks launched by the Islamic Republic of Iran across the re...
