Spain has closed its airspace to flights involved in Operation Epic Fury, launched by the U.S. and Israel against Iran, prohibiting military base use and denying airspace access.

Israel's military operations have ramped up significantly, with a focus on Iranian infrastructure in Isfahan, aiming to disrupt arms production as the conflict escalates.

The US Army has raised the maximum enlistment age to 42 years old and scrapped a barrier for potential recruits who have a legal conviction for marijuana or drug paraphernalia possession.

Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman told President Trump that Iran's theocratic regime poses a long-term threat to the Gulf and must be eliminated before Operation Epic Fury ends.

We turned down the request to maintain Sri Lanka's neutrality, he added to applause. The US-Israeli war on Iran has sparked widespread concern globally, as Iranian missile and drone attacks across the wider Middle East have sent energy prices soaring and fuelled fears of a widening conflict.

On September 20, 2025, at around 7 a.m., dozens of children ran through the Simon Pele neighborhood in northern Port-au-Prince. They played among the colorful alleyways controlled for years by the gang of the same name waiting for Albert Steevenson, alias Djouma, to hand out toys as part of his birthday celebration. But quadcopter drones from an official operation, armed with explosives, were also flying through the alleyways with a clear objective: to kill the elusive Haitian gang leader.
