UK Deploys Fighter Jets to Middle East
Israa Farhan British Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced on Saturday the deployment of additional military assets, including fighter jets, to the Middle East to support emergency response operations across the region. The move comes ahead of his attendance at the G7 summit in Canada. The announcement follows a significant escalation between Israel and Iran, triggered by a wide-scale Israeli airstrike early Friday targeting Iranian nuclear and military sites, including the Natanz facility and Revolutionary Guard bases in Tehran and Isfahan. The strikes reportedly killed key Iranian military leaders and nuclear scientists, including IRGC Commander Hossein Salami and Chief of Staff Mohammad Bagheri. Iran retaliated by launching drones and waves of ballistic missiles at Israeli targets, further fuelling concerns of broader regional conflict. Starmer reaffirmed the UK's commitment to regional stability and highlighted the urgent need for diplomatic efforts to de-escalate tensions. He also expressed serious concerns over Iran's nuclear programme, reinforcing Britain's longstanding position in favor of non-proliferation and regional security. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean News 3 Killed in Shooting Attack in Thailand

Former Minnesota House Speaker, Husband Killed in Shooting
Israa Farhan Former Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark were fatally shot in what authorities believe was a politically motivated assassination. Governor Tim Walz confirmed the tragic deaths, describing Hortman as a close friend and a respected leader who served the state with distinction since her first election in 2004. The incident, which occurred early in the morning, was followed by another targeted attack that left State Senator John Hoffman and his wife seriously injured. Both underwent surgery, and officials are cautiously optimistic about their recovery. Governor Walz, who previously ran for vice president, condemned the violence as an assault on democracy, urging that political disagreements must never be resolved through force. Law enforcement reported that the suspect impersonated a police officer and exchanged fire with authorities before fleeing. A large-scale manhunt is now underway to locate the perpetrator. Hortman was a prominent Democratic figure and former House Speaker in Minnesota's legislature. Hoffman, first elected in 2012, is also a Democrat and runs a strategic consultancy read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean News 3 Killed in Shooting Attack in Thailand

EU Sends €1 Billion Loan to Ukraine
Israa Farhan The European Union has disbursed a fresh €1 billion loan to Ukraine, reinforcing its commitment to Kyiv amid the ongoing war with Russia. This latest instalment forms part of the broader G7-backed funding package and brings the EU's total financial support to over €150 billion, according to European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. This financial aid arrives at a critical time for Ukraine, which continues to grapple with both battlefield losses and humanitarian challenges. Kyiv recently received the remains of 1,200 fallen soldiers as part of a prisoner and casualty exchange with Russia, underscoring the heavy toll of over two years of conflict. In a separate incident, a tragic road accident in France claimed the lives of at least four Ukrainians after a bus carrying refugees and aid workers crashed en route to a support center. Since Russia's full-scale invasion began in February 2022, Ukraine has relied heavily on Western financial and military backing to stabilize its economy and repel Russian forces. The EU has played a leading role in this effort through its macro-financial assistance programs, humanitarian funding, and military aid. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean News 3 Killed in Shooting Attack in Thailand
