Rising tensions in the Gulf have prompted Saudi Arabia to urgently deploy its US-made THAAD (Terminal High Altitude Area Defense) air defense system amid fresh Iranian threats of missile attacks. Intelligence reports warn that Iran could target critical Saudi infrastructure and American military assets in the region. The deployment underscores deepening security cooperation between Washington and Riyadh, even as US officials privately admit concern about Iranâs expanding missile capabilities.

In a striking display of diplomatic unity, Saudi Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan declared that Riyadh welcomes Russiaâs role in Middle Eastern affairs during a high-profile press conference with Russian FM Sergey Lavrov in Moscow. The comment signals a major shift in Gulf geopolitics, showing Saudi Arabia's increasing tilt toward Moscow as regional dynamics evolve. Lavrov and Farhan met at the Russian MFA Reception House, emphasizing cooperation on regional security, energy, and investment. Farhan praised Russiaâs involvement as âalways welcome,â underlining a growing partnership despite global Western efforts to isolate Moscow. The press conference further confirms Russia's expanding clout in the Gulf as the Kremlin strengthens alliances outside the West. The talks come amid heightened tensions in the region, and suggest Saudi Arabia is now playing a more independent, multi-vector diplomatic game â balancing its ties between Washington, Moscow, and Beijing.

In a major escalation of the Red Sea conflict, Israel has launched Operation âBlack Flag,â a powerful military campaign targeting key Houthi-controlled infrastructure in Yemen. Israeli warplanes struck ports, power stations, and the seized vessel âGalaxy Leader,â accusing the Houthi forces of using civilian infrastructure to funnel Iranian weapons and coordinate regional attacks. Defense Minister Israel Katz warned that Yemen would now be treated like Tehran, promising continued strikes against any threat to Israeli security. This marks one of Israelâs most aggressive operations beyond its borders in recent years.

Beijing has launched a fiery response to the U.S. President Donald Trumpâs announcement of a sweeping 50% tariff on Chinese copper imports, calling the move reckless and âdangerous.â Chinese officials accused Trump of reigniting an aggressive trade war that threatens global markets and bilateral stability. The steep tariff, aimed at curbing China's industrial advantage, has rattled commodities markets and sparked warnings from economists about potential supply chain disruptions.

In a bold display of military preparedness, Taiwan has launched large-scale live-fire drills under its annual "Han Kuang" military exercise. These drills, the biggest in the island's history, include the debut of U.S.-made M1A2T Abrams tanks and a record mobilisation of reservists. President Lai Ching-te personally oversaw the training, asserting Taiwanâs readiness to defend against any Chinese aggression.
Drones, tanks, and innovative new combat tactics were put to the test over the 10-day drill. With tensions escalating in the Taiwan Strait, this unprecedented military build-up sends a sharp message to Beijing. While China continues to ramp up pressure, Taiwan's latest exercises showcase not only resolve but modernization in warfare. The Han Kuang drills aren't just defensiveâthey're a signal that Taiwan is preparing for the unthinkable and doing so with Western-backed firepower.

In a stunning revelation, a leaked audio clip from a private fundraiser has exposed the aggressive foreign policy approach of Donald Trump. The audio, first reported by CNN, allegedly captures Trump recounting a conversation with Vladimir Putin where he made a direct threat to bomb Moscow if Russia were to invade Ukraine. Trump claims that while Putin may not have fully believed him, the threat was credible enough ("he believed me 10%"). This gives a rare insight into the high-stakes conversations that happened behind closed doors during his presidency.
The source of this explosive leak is reportedly a new book titled â2024,â written by journalists Josh Dawsey, Tyler Pager, and Isaac Arnsdorf. The authors claim to have obtained the audio from the fundraiser, where Trump was speaking candidly to wealthy donors. This 'unleashed' side of Trump was not limited to Russia. The same leaked audio reveals Trump made a similar threat to Chinese President Xi Jinping, warning he would bomb Beijing if China launched an invasion of Taiwan. "He thought I was crazy," Trump is heard saying on the tape.
These revelations come as Trump campaigns for the 2024 presidential election. He uses these anecdotes to argue that his aggressive and unpredictable negotiating style is what successfully prevented major global conflicts, specifically citing the wars in Ukraine and Gaza, which he claims would not have happened under his watch. The audio provides a stark look at the kind of "strongman" diplomacy Trump advocates for, a strategy he believes is necessary to prevent world powers from undermining the United States.

The group demanded enforcement of Riyadh resolutions, lifting of the blockade, and sanctions on Israel. Citing massacres in northern Gaza that coincided with the summit, Hamas stressed the need for urgent global solidarity. Other resistance factions echoed similar sentiments, condemning Arab regimes for hollow statements and complicity in genocide.

Iranian officials, led by Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, slammed Trumpâs remarks as hypocritical and deceptiveâaccusing the U.S. of enabling Israeli aggression in Gaza, Syria, and Lebanon while unjustly targeting Iran. Tehran defended its regional role, framing itself as part of the "Resistance Axis" against oppression, and blamed decades of U.S. sanctions and military pressure for Iranâs economic struggles.

Iranâs top Shiite cleric, Grand Ayatollah Naser Makarem Shirazi, has issued a fatwa against Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu, declaring them "enemies of God and Islam." Labeling them moharebâthose who wage war against Godâhe warned that under Islamic law, such individuals face severe punishments. The fatwa forbids Muslim support for the U.S. or Israel and calls for global Islamic unity to resist Western aggression. Issued after a deadly 12-day war, the decree intensifies Iranâs religious-political stance amid the fragile ceasefire.

A ballistic missile launched from Yemen by Iran-backed Houthi forces tore through Israeli airspace, triggering air raid sirens across Jaffa and Tel Aviv. The IDF scrambled defenses, intercepting the missile mid-air in what marks a dangerous new phase of the conflict. No longer confined to the Red Sea, the Houthis are now targeting Israeli cities directly. As Israel retaliates with airstrikes on Yemenâs Hodeida region, fears of a broader regional war intensify. Is this the beginning of all-out escalation?

On July 10, 2025, a missile launched from Yemen by Iran-backed Houthi rebels was intercepted by Israelâs air defense systems. Sirens blared across Jerusalem, central Israel, and parts of the West Bank as civilians rushed to shelters in panic. The IDF confirmed the interception and has since carried out retaliatory airstrikes on Houthi launch sites.
This strike is part of a growing wave of regional escalation, with missile threats now emerging from Gaza, Lebanon, and Yemen. Houthis claim the attack was in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza, where over 57,000 have reportedly been killed since the Israeli military campaign began in late 2023. With tensions mounting, the region stands on the brink of a broader war.
