Members of a pro-Palestinian activist group have broken into a military base and damaged two aircrafts.
Two Palestine Action activists broke into RAF Brize Norton in Carterton, Oxfordshire, on e-scooters and sprayed red paint on two planes.
The group said the incident took place due to flights departing daily from the base to RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus, "a base used for military operations in Gaza and across the Middle East".

U.S Strikes On Iran: Russia has reacted sharply to Trump’s bombing of Iran, with ex-president Dmitry Medvedev listing what he mockingly called Trump’s “achievements.” These included sparking a new war, failing to stop Iran’s nuclear program, and isolating the U.S. globally. Medvedev claimed most countries oppose U.S.-Israel actions and warned of nations now willing to arm Iran with nuclear weapons. The statement reflects growing global backlash as Trump’s actions push the Middle East deeper into chaos. Iran, meanwhile, declared its uranium enrichment will continue uninterrupted.

Operation Midnight Hammer: Pete Hegseth has hailed President Trump’s recent strikes on Iran’s nuclear program as an “incredible and overwhelming success,” claiming unmatched devastation to Tehran’s nuclear capabilities. He emphasized U.S. restraint—yet vowed “far greater force” in response to any Iranian retaliation, echoing Trump’s threats. Hegseth also criticized past presidents for failing to deliver such a crippling blow.

As heated statements proliferate, analysts caution that brinkmanship over nuclear arsenals could trigger unintended global consequences.
