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 Iran’s expanding missile capabilities.

Iran’s top IRGC commander has issued a chilling warning to Israel, claiming the Islamic Republic used “less than 5%” of its defensive power in recent retaliatory strikes. Brigadier General Naghdi emphasized that Iran’s core ground forces remain untouched, suggesting future strikes could be far more devastating. Tehran’s missile barrage on June 13 targeted strategic Israeli military sites. Experts say the U.S. burned through 20% of its THAAD stockpile in support—costing over $800 million in just 12 days.

The U.S. military campaign against the Houthis in Yemen is proving costly and largely ineffective. With over $1.5 billion spent on munitions, 30 warships deployed—including the USS Eisenhower—and advanced assets like F-35C jets, Washington faces limited success. Houthi forces, backed by Iran, have launched over 325 attacks and disrupted $1 trillion in trade via asymmetric warfare. As the Red Sea crisis deepens, analysts warn this prolonged conflict may become America’s next Vietnam. News that speaks your language – Oneindia App is now live | Click on the below link to download

Donald Trump has rebuked Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu for an airstrike on a Catholic church in Gaza, calling the incident a “mistake.” His spokesperson, Karoline Leavitt, confirmed Trump called Netanyahu to express his displeasure. Trump also reportedly called Syrian leader Al-Sharaa, urging both sides to agree to a ceasefire. Emphasizing the need for regional stability, Trump said he envisions a “peaceful and progressive Syria.” His remarks signal a rare critique of Israel and a renewed push for diplomacy in the Middle East.

Houthi forces have launched a coordinated missile assault on Israel, targeting three strategic locations—Ben Gurion Airport, the port city of Eilat, and the Negev region. Ballistic missiles rained down, causing widespread alarm and disruption. This marks one of the most significant direct attacks on Israeli soil by the Yemen-based Houthis. The strikes have intensified regional tensions and drawn global attention, as fears of a broader Middle East conflict continue to rise.

Tensions between Israel and Syria have reached a boiling point. The Syrian Army has reportedly withdrawn from the key Druze city of Sweida following relentless Israeli airstrikes. Damascus lies in ruins as Israeli forces target key Syrian military installations, citing threats from HTS-aligned units and a need to protect the Druze population. With dozens feared dead and infrastructure devastated, the region is on the brink of a wider war. Is this the beginning of a new Middle East conflict? Stay tuned for live updates on the escalating Israel-Syria war.

Yemen's Houthi rebels (Ansarallah) have claimed responsibility for launching another significant missile attack toward southern Israel, triggering massive panic and sounding major air-raid sirens across the region. The group stated the attack was carried out in "solidarity with the people of Gaza." The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed the launch and announced that its air defence systems were activated, successfully intercepting the inbound missile before it could hit its target.
This latest strike is part of a sustained campaign by the Houthis, who have vowed that such attacks will continue until Israel ends its military offensive and blockade of the Gaza Strip. According to reports, Ansarallah has fired over 50 missiles and drones toward Israel since the conflict resumed, frequently targeting critical infrastructure like the Ben Gurion Airport in previous attempts. This raises the critical question: Is Israel now fighting a three-front war, facing threats from Gaza, the north, and now consistently from Yemen?
The attack comes amidst a volatile situation in the wider region. Israel has recently intensified its own strikes on Houthi targets in Yemen in response to their persistent attacks on international shipping in the Red Sea. In a major act of retaliation, the Houthis recently sank the UK-registered Magic Sea ship, a move that dealt a significant blow to global trade and maritime security. This video breaks down the latest missile attack, the successful Israeli interception, and the escalating cycle of violence that is pushing the Middle East to the brink.

U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth issued a dramatic warning of potential war with China, yet claimed the U.S. seeks no conflict. In a speech filled with paradoxes and Pentagon code, Hegseth promised “peace through strength — seen and unseen, overt and covert.” He emphasized that the U.S. will not humiliate or subjugate China but is fully prepared for confrontation. The remarks deepen concerns over rising tensions in the Indo-Pacific, suggesting a looming power struggle between Washington and Beijing conducted in part through shadowy, undisclosed means.

At the Shangri-La Dialogue, U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth declared that China would not dare invade Taiwan while Donald Trump remains in office, warning that Beijing poses a real and possibly imminent threat. Hegseth urged Asian allies to increase defense spending and prepare for a potential regional conflict. He affirmed Trump’s Indo-Pacific focus and emphasized consequences for any Chinese aggression. With China skipping the summit, Hegseth’s comments take on sharper geopolitical meaning, signaling America’s hard stance and strategic pivot toward Asia’s growing security challenges.

As anti-ICE protests rage in Los Angeles, the movement has rapidly spread to Texas, with hundreds marching in Austin and Dallas. Demonstrators demand an end to Trump’s immigration crackdown and the deployment of federal forces. Clashes erupted in Dallas as police declared the protests unlawful. Texas Governor Greg Abbott praised Trump’s response, while California Governor Gavin Newsom condemned the federal overreach. The nation stands divided as immigration, law enforcement, and civil liberties collide on the streets.
