Trump's Middle East envoy in ceasefire push - as head of Israeli intelligence agency sent to Qatar for talks
Saturday, 11 January 2025 Donald Trump's Middle East envoy has met Israel's prime minister in an effort to secure a ceasefire deal in Gaza before the president-elect takes office on 20 January.
In a bold statement, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared that the Houthis would pay a "heavy price" after Israeli fighter jets targeted key Houthi positions in Yemen. The airstrikes, which are part of Israel's ongoing efforts to combat Iranian-backed terror in the Middle East, have...
Explosions have rocked the Israeli port city of Eilat, following a sudden missile and drone attack allegedly launched by Iran-backed Houthi fighters from Yemen. Sirens blared and fireballs lit up the night sky as Israeli air defenses attempted to intercept the incoming threats. The Houthi escalation marks a dangerous new front in the Middle East conflict, directly targeting Israeli territory far from Gaza or Lebanon. This video captures unfiltered visuals of the aftermath, impact sites, and emergency response on the ground.

Iran’s precision strike hits hard! Shocking new footage shows the moment Iranian missiles obliterated a key radar dome at the U.S. Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar — one of Washington’s most critical military hubs in the Middle East. Satellite images and exclusive ground photos reveal massive structural damage to the advanced radar system used for air defense and surveillance. Military analysts are calling it a serious blow to U.S. strategic capabilities in the region.

An Iranian-launched drone was caught on camera flying directly toward the U.S. Consulate in northern Iraq before exploding in a fiery blast, sending shockwaves across the region.
The dramatic video shows the moment of impact near the diplomatic compound, highlighting the growing threat of drone warfare in the Middle East. U.S. officials have condemned the attack, which marks another dangerous escalation in tensions between Iran-backed militias and American forces in the region.

In a stunning diplomatic development, officials from Israel and Syria are holding quiet, backchannel talks for the first time in over a decade. This move comes after months of intense regional conflict involving Iran-backed groups like Hamas and Hezbollah, pushing both Jerusalem and Damascus to reassess their long-standing enmity. The United States, with backing from Donald Trump and his envoy Tom Barrack Jr., is mediating the effort, aiming to cool tensions along the volatile Golan Heights border.
At the center of this pivot is Syria's new president, Ahmed al-Shara, who has signaled a dramatic shift from the hardline rejectionism of the Bashar al-Assad era. The primary driver for this newfound diplomacy is a shared strategic goal: limiting the influence of Iran and its proxies in southern Syria. For Israel, this is a matter of national security; for al-Shara's new government, it's a path toward securing sovereignty, gaining Western legitimacy, and obtaining much-needed economic relief.
While full normalization seems distant, both sides are exploring a revival of the 1974 U.N. Disengagement Agreement, which previously ensured stability in the Golan Heights. In a significant gesture, the Trump administration has lifted the terrorist designation on al-Shara's former group, and Israeli leaders have softened their tone, describing him as someone they could potentially work with. However, analysts remain cautious, pointing to al-Shara’s past and the lack of public support for peace in Syria as major hurdles.
Despite the challenges, the fact that these talks are happening at all represents a potential seismic shift in Middle East politics. This report breaks down the key players, the high stakes, and what this surprising diplomacy could mean for the future of the region.

U.S President Donald Trump has issued a blistering 50-day warning to Russia: reach a deal, or face the full force of U.S. tariffs and sanctions. Speaking on the Ukraine-Russia war, Biden declared he’s “on nobody’s side” — except the side that wants the killing to stop. But if Moscow doesn’t act, the U.S. is ready to strike economically.
With time ticking and global tensions high, this could mark a major turning point in the war — or a slide into deeper confrontation. What happens if the Kremlin refuses? And is Biden ready to follow through?

A fierce war of words has erupted between the United States and Russia after former US President Donald Trump threatened to impose "secondary tariffs" of up to 100% if Moscow does not end the war in Ukraine within 50 days. Trump, speaking at a White House press event, warned that he was "very unhappy" with the ongoing conflict and that severe economic consequences would follow.
Responding to the threat, Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov delivered a sharp and dismissive rebuke from China. Lavrov stated unequivocally, "We are not worried, it's not our job to worry," indicating that Russia is prepared to withstand any new sanctions. He further mocked Trump's timeline, pointing out the shifting deadlines from the US. "Now it's 50 days, it used to be 24 hours, also 100 days. We've been through that already," Lavrov commented, suggesting a lack of seriousness in the American threat.
The defiant stance was echoed by Russian Deputy Minister Ryabkov, who asserted that "any attempts to make demands or ultimatums are unacceptable" to the Kremlin. This bold response comes even as the United States finalizes plans to supply more advanced weaponry to Ukraine, with funding provided by the European Union. Russia's confidence appears unshaken, escalating geopolitical tensions and leaving the world to wonder what Trump's next move will be in this high-stakes standoff.

In a dramatic shift, U.S. President Donald Trump reportedly urged Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to consider striking Moscow—just days after a failed phone call with Vladimir Putin. Sources told the Financial Times and Washington Post that Trump asked, "Can you hit Moscow?" and expressed frustration over Putin's unwillingness to negotiate peace. This follows renewed U.S. weapons support for Ukraine under a proposed NATO deal.
Was this a pressure tactic or a dangerous escalation plan? Here's what we know about the explosive July 4th phone call and what it could mean for the future of the war in Ukraine.

Iran’s foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, has ruled out hasty or “ill‑considered” diplomacy with the US unless explicit guarantees are made. Speaking to diplomats in Tehran, he condemned last month’s US and Israeli strikes on Iranian nuclear sites as a betrayal of diplomacy, demanding assurances that aggression will not repeat if talks resume. Araghchi emphasized Tehran’s focus on securing national interests and accountability from Washington. He warned European nations that invoking the UN “snap‑back” sanctions would be as damaging as military action and could end their role in nuclear diplomacy. Iran insists its victorious counter‑strikes, including its missile attack on al‑Udeid base in Qatar, underscore that it faces no fear in negotiating. But Araghchi cautions that without trust and concrete protections, Iran remains unwilling to rejoin indirect talks with the US.

In a shocking revelation, satellite images have exposed the extensive damage to the Al Udeid US airbase in Qatar following a retaliatory strike by Iran. The attack, which occurred after US aggression on Iranian nuclear sites, has left the base in ruins, shattering claims by President Donald Trump that the base remained unharmed. As the US continues to downplay the impact of the strike, these images provide undeniable proof of the devastation, raising questions about Trump's sudden ceasefire order. Was the ceasefire a tactical move to cover up the severity of the strike, or was it forced by the massive destruction at Al Udeid?

Ceasefire talks between Israel and Hamas are deadlocked as Israel refuses to withdraw troops from Gaza’s strategic Morag corridor. Hamas demands a full pullout, calling Israel’s military presence a deal-breaker. Critics warn Israel’s position could derail humanitarian deals and lead to mass displacement. U.S. and Qatari mediators are scrambling to salvage negotiations. With allegations of ethnic cleansing surfacing, Israel’s hardline stance is seen by some as a strategic move to maintain control over southern Gaza during any truce.
