Israel attacks Iran LIVE: Iranian official says there are no plans to retaliate after Israeli missile strike ‘targeted air base’ in city that hosts state’s nuclear programme
What would open warfare between Israel and Iran look like? How tit-for-tat retaliatory strikes could spiral into full-scale conflict involving Tehran’s shady proxy forces and both sides trading long-range missile attacks
The outbreak of war between Israel and Hamas following the October 7 attacks rocked the already precarious security landscape in the Middle East and stoked fears that violence could spread throughout the region.
Now that prospect seems increasingly likely, with the Islamic Republic vowing revenge on what it calls the ‘evil Zionist regime’ after a suspected IDF strike on Iran’s consulate in Syria killed 13 people, including two Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Quds force generals.

Vladimir Putin took aim at President Biden, Bill Clinton and the CIA in his hotly anticipated interview with Tucker Carlson, where he praised George Bush and gushed over ‘very smart’ Elon Musk.

Hamas leaders claim Israel’s proof over who is to blame for Gaza hospital bombing is an ‘outrageous lie’ – despite IDF producing wiretapped call, video of ‘misfiring’ rocket and satellite photos to prove they didn’t launch missile
Hamas has claimed that Israel’s ‘proof’ over who is to blame for the deadly Gaza hospital bombing is an ‘outrageous lie’ – despite the IDF producing a wiretapped call and video showing a ‘misfiring’ rocket to prove they didn’t cause the blast.
The terror group made the claim hours after Israel shared an audio clip in which two alleged Hamas terrorists can be heard discussing the explosion and confirming the rocket came from Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) – an independent
Russian Missile Strikes in Pokrovsk, Ukraine, Kill 9 and Wound Dozens More
Since invading last year, Russian forces have regularly barraged not only civilian infrastructure that the Kremlin calls legitimate military targets, but also civilian sites with no relationship to the war effort, and often far from the battlefield.
That has continued even as Ukraine has waged a slow-moving counteroffensive in the south and east, forcing the Russians to concentrate more of their energies there. The Ukrainian forces have been bolstered by extensive training and weaponry from the West, and by conscription

Reuters found cyber-espionage teams linked to the North Korean government, which security researchers call ScarCruft and Lazarus, secretly installed stealthy digital backdoors into systems at NPO Mashinostroyeniya, a rocket design bureau based in Reutov, a small town on the outskirts of Moscow.
