US Military Launches Airstrikes on ‘Iran-Aligned Sites’ in Syria, Day After Attack on Command Center
The US military has launched a series of airstrikes targeting sites in Syria associated with Iran-aligned groups, a day after an assault on America’s largest command centre in the region.
The strikes, conducted by US Central Command, were in retaliation for recent attacks on US personnel stationed in Syria.
Centcom emphasised that the action was a direct response to the escalating violence aimed at American forces, underscoring the US's commitment to protecting its troops and partners in the region.
The airstrikes, which hit multiple sites believed to be linked to Iranian-backed militias, aim to degrade the ability of these groups to plan and execute future attacks against US forces.
The US military presence in Syria, primarily focused on combating ISIS remnants, has faced increasing threats from Iran-aligned militias, complicating efforts to stabilise the region.
Centcom's statement reinforced that such attacks on US forces would not be tolerated, sending a strong message to Tehran-backed militants.
The escalation comes amid growing tensions in Syria, where Iran-backed groups maintain a significant presence, particularly in the east.

As the Middle East teeters on the edge of wider conflict, Russian President Vladimir Putin held a high-stakes phone call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The Kremlin confirmed that Putin underscored Russia’s commitment to peaceful solutions amid escalating tensions between Iran and Israel. In a bold diplomatic move, Moscow offered to mediate stalled nuclear negotiations involving Tehran, positioning itself as a central figure in the crisis.
Notably, Putin warned against any actions that may compromise Syria’s sovereignty, stressing the need to respect the nation's territorial integrity and internal political stability. This conversation comes at a time when military strikes, political instability, and nuclear fears are threatening to ignite a broader regional war. With Syria caught in the crossfire and international alliances under strain, the Putin-Netanyahu call may signal a renewed effort to de-escalate before it’s too late.

Israel faces mounting global condemnation over its military campaign in Gaza, accused of using starvation tactics and blocking aid. Despite backlash, Prime Minister Netanyahu has doubled down, vowing to continue operations until Hamas is fully eliminated. With over 20,000 Hamas fighters reportedly still active and Israeli casualties rising, the war grinds on. Europe and human rights groups have urged Israel and the U.S. to halt the blockade, but Netanyahu, speaking from Ramon Air Base, insists on seeing through what he calls Israel's “war goals.” Gaza’s humanitarian crisis deepens.

CCTV footage from the Handala aid ship shows Israeli soldiers breaking cameras during a midnight raid in international waters. The Gaza-bound vessel, carrying baby formula, food, and medicine for starving civilians, was intercepted 40 nautical miles from Gaza. Israeli forces detained 21 international activists and journalists, seizing all aid cargo. This marks the second ship blocked in recent months, amid rising global outrage over Gaza’s worsening humanitarian crisis. Cameras and communications were cut before the vessel was escorted back to shore, deepening calls for accountability.

The U.S. has accused Iran of supplying advanced weapons to Yemen’s Houthi rebels, prompting a sharp denial from Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baqaei, who called it a “baseless media campaign.” According to CENTCOM, Yemen's National Resistance Forces (YNRF) recently seized the largest-ever cache of Iranian conventional arms—allegedly bound for the Houthis—including anti-ship and anti-aircraft missiles, radar systems, warheads, and communications gear, much of it bearing Iranian military markings and Farsi-language manuals. CENTCOM Commander Gen. Michael Kurilla praised the YNRF and labeled Iran the “most destabilizing actor” in the region.

In a dramatic twist, it was Qatar’s own air defense system—not U.S. interceptors—that initially shielded the Al‑Udeid Air Base from Iran’s multi‑warhead Ghadr‑H missiles. Seamlessly integrated and rapidly activated, Doha’s Patriot batteries detected and neutralized several incoming warheads, halting their approach before CENTCOM’s systems could fully engage. The speed and precision of Qatar’s defense network underscored the country’s strategic importance and deep coordination with U.S. forces. Experts suggest this success could reshape Gulf military dynamics and highlights Qatar’s growing role as frontline guardian amid Iran’s escalating retaliatory campaign.

In a press release, authorities identified the national as Mohammad A., a minor.

In a shocking turn, Israeli forces launched a drone airstrike in Gaza that targeted Hamas fighters—just as they clashed with an ISIS-linked faction. The strike killed four Hamas members and marked the first time Israel is seen directly aiding a Daesh-affiliated group. Netanyahu admitted to arming anti-Hamas militias in Gaza following a leak by Avigdor Lieberman. The targeted group, led by Yasser Abu Shabab, has long-standing ISIS ties. Netanyahu defended the move, claiming it helps save Israeli soldiers’ lives—raising new questions about covert alliances and proxy warfare in Gaza.

Iran has issued a stunning ultimatum to the U.S., demanding compensation for damages from the recent U.S.-Israel strikes before resuming nuclear talks. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi blamed Trump’s 2018 JCPOA withdrawal for eroding trust and slammed Washington for using diplomacy as a cover for aggression. Iran insists on real guarantees, rejects U.S. calls for zero enrichment, and warns that rising anti-negotiation sentiment in Tehran could end talks permanently unless America changes course with serious confidence-building measures.

Iran has lashed out at European powers after they moved to reimpose UN snapback sanctions, branding the move “illegal, illegitimate, and politically motivated.” In a stern warning, Tehran hinted at a possible withdrawal from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) if pressure continues to mount. Iranian officials accused the West of breaking promises and warned that continued provocation could trigger a major escalation in its nuclear posture.

In a dramatic shift on the global chessboard, Israel and Ukraine have agreed to initiate a joint dialogue aimed at neutralizing the growing threat posed by Iran. Both nations—haunted by Iran’s military exports and nuclear ambitions—announced the new cooperation in Kyiv during Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar’s visit. Ukraine accuses Iran of fuelling Russia’s war machine with kamikaze drones, while Israel views Iran’s nuclear program as an existential threat.
Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiga of Ukraine declared Iran a “global security menace,” and thanked Israel for its surprise strike on Iranian military targets last month. The move marks a pivotal tightening of Israel–Ukraine ties, despite past tensions over Israel’s neutrality in the Russia-Ukraine war. Both countries have now drawn a clear red line around Tehran’s expanding influence—and plan to counter it. The anti-Iran dialogue could reshape the Middle East–Eastern Europe dynamic in the months ahead.

As global tensions rise, Iran hosts trilateral nuclear talks with Russia and China—just days before a critical summit with European powers in Istanbul. The U.S., once central to negotiations, now watches from the sidelines as Tehran rejects direct dialogue. With the 2015 nuclear deal hanging by a thread and “snapback” sanctions looming, the geopolitical stakes have never been higher.
Will this new Iran–Russia–China axis reshape the global balance of power? And can Europe force Iran back into compliance—or will diplomacy collapse once again?

Iran has vowed to continue uranium enrichment despite devastating U.S. and Israeli airstrikes that severely damaged its nuclear sites. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi called the program a “national pride,” rejecting any abandonment of nuclear ambitions. The strikes, which followed failed U.S.-Iran talks, sparked a 12-day air war before a ceasefire. Trump hailed the attack’s success, warning more strikes “if necessary.” Despite pressure, Tehran says it will rebuild its facilities, viewing nuclear power as a vital deterrent against Western and regional rivals.
