Iran’s military warned of “more devastating and widespread” retaliation if civilians are targeted, following a reported missile strike in Haifa that killed at least two people at the weekend. However, the escalation comes amid continued U.S. pressure over reopening the Strait of Hormuz signalling a sharp intensification in both military and geopolitical stakes.
U.S. President Donald Trump threatened severe strikes on Iran’s infrastructure if the Strait of Hormuz is not reopened by his deadline, however, reports suggest backchannel talks on a potential 45-day ceasefire are underway. As explosions hit Tehran and regional attacks expand across Gulf energy facilities, mixed messaging from Washington continues to unsettle markets and raise uncertainty over the war’s trajectory.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met Syria’s new leader Ahmed al-Sharaa in Damascus, as Kyiv pushes to expand defence partnerships and share battlefield expertise, particularly in drone warfare. However, the outreach comes amid growing concern that global attention and military resources may shift away from Ukraine due to escalating tensions in the Middle East.
Hamas has refused to consider disarmament while key ceasefire conditions remain unmet, warning that such demands undermine ongoing negotiations. However, with the next phase of the U.S.-backed 'Board of Peace' plans stalled and mutual accusations of violations continuing, the fragile pause in fighting risks collapsing without further guarantees on Israel’s withdrawal.
NASA’s Artemis II astronauts are approaching a pivotal lunar flyby that could see them travel further than any humans in history, marking a major milestone in deep-space exploration. However, as the spacecraft enters the Moon’s gravitational sphere and communication blackouts loom, the mission remains a high-stakes test of systems designed for future lunar landings and eventual missions to Mars.
