Tensions reignite as Iranâs top military commander warns the U.S. and Israel of a strong retaliation if provoked. After the 12-day war with Israel, Iranâs Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei claims America and its allies failed to achieve any objective. Iran is now conducting a global diplomatic push and promises to rebuild its nuclear program. With fiery speeches and renewed threats, Iran is signaling it's prepared for war, accusing the West of arrogance and aggression. Are we witnessing the next flashpoint in the Middle East?

During the recent 12-day war between Iran and Israel, the United States fired over 150 THAAD interceptors, exhausting nearly 25% of its total stockpile and racking up costs estimated at $1.9 billion. While the U.S. deployed its most advanced missile defense systems to shield Israeli territory, dozens of Iranian missiles still struck their targets â raising alarming questions about the limits of missile defense saturation and Americaâs readiness for future conflicts.
The Pentagon now faces a growing stockpile crisis, with only 11 THAAD missiles produced in 2024 and a slow ramp-up planned for 2025 and 2026. As tensions continue to rise across the Middle East and Asia, the strategic shortfall of THAAD interceptors is being watched closely by major powers like China and Russia.
This report includes archival visuals of Trump-era THAAD deployments, Iranian missile attacks, and exclusive coverage of defense developments as the U.S. military reassesses its global missile defense posture.

Europeâs powerful âE3ââGermany, France, and the UKâare signaling a major diplomatic rift with the U.S. and Israel over the Gaza crisis. After criticizing Israelâs blockade of aid and civilian deaths, France has recognized Palestine, while the UK has pledged recognition without a timeline. Germanyâs Chancellor Merz hinted at a coordinated Middle East policy, fueling speculation of a NATO split. As public protests grow across Europe, E3 leaders are pressured to take a tougher stance on Gaza, potentially exposing U.S.âIsrael hypocrisy on the conflict.

Iran has lashed out at European powers after they moved to reimpose UN snapback sanctions, branding the move âillegal, illegitimate, and politically motivated.â In a stern warning, Tehran hinted at a possible withdrawal from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) if pressure continues to mount.

In a dramatic shift on the global chessboard, Israel and Ukraine have agreed to initiate a joint dialogue aimed at neutralizing the growing threat posed by Iran. Both nationsâhaunted by Iranâs military exports and nuclear ambitionsâannounced the new cooperation in Kyiv during Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saarâs visit. Ukraine accuses Iran of fuelling Russiaâs war machine with kamikaze drones, while Israel views Iranâs nuclear program as an existential threat.
Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiga of Ukraine declared Iran a âglobal security menace,â and thanked Israel for its surprise strike on Iranian military targets last month. The move marks a pivotal tightening of IsraelâUkraine ties, despite past tensions over Israelâs neutrality in the Russia-Ukraine war. Both countries have now drawn a clear red line around Tehranâs expanding influenceâand plan to counter it. The anti-Iran dialogue could reshape the Middle EastâEastern Europe dynamic in the months ahead.

As global tensions rise, Iran hosts trilateral nuclear talks with Russia and Chinaâjust days before a critical summit with European powers in Istanbul. The U.S., once central to negotiations, now watches from the sidelines as Tehran rejects direct dialogue. With the 2015 nuclear deal hanging by a thread and âsnapbackâ sanctions looming, the geopolitical stakes have never been higher.
Will this new IranâRussiaâChina axis reshape the global balance of power? And can Europe force Iran back into complianceâor will diplomacy collapse once again?

Iran has vowed to continue uranium enrichment despite devastating U.S. and Israeli airstrikes that severely damaged its nuclear sites. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi called the program a ânational pride,â rejecting any abandonment of nuclear ambitions. The strikes, which followed failed U.S.-Iran talks, sparked a 12-day air war before a ceasefire. Trump hailed the attackâs success, warning more strikes âif necessary.â Despite pressure, Tehran says it will rebuild its facilities, viewing nuclear power as a vital deterrent against Western and regional rivals.

Israel has launched fresh airstrikes on Houthi targets in Yemen's Hodeida port, claiming the site was being used to funnel Iranian weapons for attacks on Israeli and allied interests. The IDF has intensified operations in the Red Sea region, warning Tehran directly with the message: âYemen = Tehran.â This comes amid escalating tensions tied to the Gaza conflict and increasing Houthi drone and missile attacks. The international community watches closely as the Israel-Houthi conflict threatens broader regional stability.

On July 2025, Iran-backed Houthi rebels launched a deadly drone and missile attack on the Eternity C, a civilian cargo ship navigating the Red Sea. After sinking the vessel, the Houthis kidnapped several surviving crew members, prompting a swift condemnation from the U.S. State Department and calls for their immediate and unconditional release.
The Houthi spokesperson claimed responsibility, announcing that the strike was "documented with audio and video proof" and carried out after the ship ignored multiple warnings. This attack follows a string of similar assaults on commercial vesselsâincluding the Magic Seasâand signals a dramatic escalation in maritime warfare across strategic shipping lanes.
With global trade routes under threat and regional tensions surging, the U.S. is now weighing full-scale retaliation as pressure mounts in Washington and Tel Aviv to respond.
