“I Want Iran-Style Drones!” – Trump Demands U.S. Defense Firms Match Iran’s Cheap, Fast, Deadly UAVs
Speaking in Qatar, former President Trump criticized U.S. defense contractors for producing drones at exorbitant prices—contrasting them with Iran’s $35K–$40K drones, which he called fast, cheap, and deadly.
Trump recounted asking an American company to replicate Iran’s affordable drones, only to be presented with a $41 million model.
His remarks spotlight rising defense spending and Iran’s rapid drone advancement, which has positioned the country as a major military force in West Asia.
Trump’s comments reignite debate over U.S. defense efficiency, cost, and competitiveness.

President Trump has suggested that Russian President Vladimir Putin could visit the United States as early as 2026, hinting at a potential landmark summit, coinciding with the FIFA World Cup 2026 to be played in America. While no formal invitation has been announced, Trump said he remains “hopeful” such a visit can happen, framing it as a chance to reset strained U.S.-Russia ties. The comments have already stirred debate in Washington, with critics warning of political fallout while Trump supporters hail the move as a bold step toward global stability.

Israel under pressure to respond to ceasefire proposal as strikes on Gaza continue
Qatar has stressed the urgency of brokering a ceasefire in Gaza after Hamas showed a “positive response” to a proposal from Arab countries, but Israel has yet to weigh in as its military prepares an offensive in some of the territory's most densely populated areas.

After Hamas accepted new ceasefire terms to release half of the hostages, Israel has shifted conditions, demanding the release of all 50 remaining captives. The move risks derailing a Qatar- and Egypt-brokered truce. Netanyahu insists war will only end if Hamas disarms, Gaza is demilitarized, and Israeli security control is secured. With over 62,000 killed and Gaza on the brink of famine, Trump’s call for the “full destruction of Hamas” fuels fears of a trilateral conflict involving the U.S., Israel, and Hamas.

In a dramatic escalation, Yemen’s Armed Forces have claimed responsibility for a massive drone and missile assault targeting key Israeli infrastructure, including Ben Gurion Airport, Ashdod Port, and the Eilat Port. Yemeni military spokesman Brig. Gen. Yahya Saree confirmed the use of the indigenous ‘Palestine 2’ hypersonic missile and locally built UAVs in retaliation against Israeli strikes on Yemen and in solidarity with Gaza. The strike forced Israel to shut down its primary international airport, with sirens sounding across the Dead Sea area. The Yemeni Armed Forces declared their readiness for prolonged confrontation and reiterated a vow to continue strategic blockades and attacks until Israel halts its Gaza offensive. With over 57,000 Palestinians dead since October 2023, the operation underscores a widening regional war and a unified resistance front across West Asia. Israeli interceptors reportedly failed to stop the attacks, raising serious concerns about defense gaps.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, alongside India’s S. Jaishankar, accused the U.S. of weaponizing the dollar and using sanctions as “economic colonialism.” Lavrov warned that even allies are unsafe from Washington’s unpredictability, framing BRICS as a counterbalance to Western dominance. India backed the bloc, stressing it is “not anti-West, just not Western.” With BRICS expanding to include nations like Iran, UAE, and Egypt, the bloc now represents over 40% of the global population, aiming to reshape financial systems, technology, and influence in the Global South.

Vladimir Putin has confirmed that a highly anticipated summit with Donald Trump could take place as early as next week in the UAE, calling it a potential “historical event.” With the U.S. deadline looming for Russia to show progress on ending the Ukraine war, the Kremlin is pushing for a “successful and productive” outcome. However, Kyiv is unlikely to be part of the talks, as Russia dismisses Zelensky's inclusion and continues to label him “illegitimate” due to his expired term.

The UAE has carried out its 61st humanitarian airdrop over Gaza as part of the “Birds of Goodness” mission. Reports claim some containers may have fallen into the sea, triggering further chaos amid desperate conditions. In addition to airlifts, 20 aid trucks were sent into Gaza, where hunger deaths continue to rise. UN agencies report seizures and looting of aid, while Hamas declares it will only allow access to hostages if Israel halts airstrikes and opens corridors. Despite international efforts, the humanitarian crisis shows no sign of easing.

France has launched an airdrop mission delivering 40 tonnes of emergency food aid into Gaza, in a dramatic response to an escalating famine crisis in the embattled Strip. Each of the four flights carried 10 tonnes of supplies, Foreign Minister Jean‑Noël Barrot confirmed—though he warned the gesture remains “insufficient.”
Barrot and President Macron demanded that Israel quickly reopen air, land, and sea routes to allow unhindered aid access, calling current conditions “absolutely intolerable.” A recent WHO report showed that since July, 5,000 children under five have been treated for acute malnutrition, and at least 63 have died of starvation. The move follows weeks of humanitarian pauses and airdrops by allies including Jordan, the UAE, Germany, and the UK—but global agencies warn only sustained land convoys can truly meet the desperate needs. Against the backdrop of rising international pressure and US envoy visits, France’s action adds fresh urgency to the crisis.

After months of silence and worsening famine, Jordan and the UAE have conducted the first Arab airdrop of humanitarian aid into Gaza. As mass starvation grips the enclave, with over 120 deaths from malnutrition—including dozens of children—this airdrop may signal a shift. But with ongoing blockades and a severely restricted flow of supplies, is it too little, too late?
We break down what was delivered, why the crisis escalated, and whether international pressure is finally moving the needle.
