Why Qatari Def. System Saved Al-Udeid Base Not U.S? All About Iran Attack On Qatar
In a dramatic twist, it was Qatar’s own air defense system—not U.S. interceptors—that initially shielded the Al‑Udeid Air Base from Iran’s multi‑warhead Ghadr‑H missiles.
Seamlessly integrated and rapidly activated, Doha’s Patriot batteries detected and neutralized several incoming warheads, halting their approach before CENTCOM’s systems could fully engage.
The speed and precision of Qatar’s defense network underscored the country’s strategic importance and deep coordination with U.S. forces.
Experts suggest this success could reshape Gulf military dynamics and highlights Qatar’s growing role as frontline guardian amid Iran’s escalating retaliatory campaign.

Israel under pressure to respond to ceasefire proposal as strikes on Gaza continue
Qatar has stressed the urgency of brokering a ceasefire in Gaza after Hamas showed a “positive response” to a proposal from Arab countries, but Israel has yet to weigh in as its military prepares an offensive in some of the territory's most densely populated areas.

After Hamas accepted new ceasefire terms to release half of the hostages, Israel has shifted conditions, demanding the release of all 50 remaining captives. The move risks derailing a Qatar- and Egypt-brokered truce. Netanyahu insists war will only end if Hamas disarms, Gaza is demilitarized, and Israeli security control is secured. With over 62,000 killed and Gaza on the brink of famine, Trump’s call for the “full destruction of Hamas” fuels fears of a trilateral conflict involving the U.S., Israel, and Hamas.

Hamas has agreed to a 60-day ceasefire proposal mediated by Egypt and Qatar, with U.S. support, in a bid to halt escalating violence in Gaza. The plan includes the return of half the hostages taken since October 7 and the release of a number of Palestinian prisoners by Israel. While Hamas has confirmed its approval, the Israeli government has yet to respond, and tensions remain high as Netanyahu had earlier approved plans to seize Gaza City. Protests have erupted in Israel, and Gaza residents continue to flee in fear of a renewed offensive. Is this ceasefire a path to lasting peace or a temporary pause in a volatile war? Watch the full update to understand the stakes.

Bishara Bahbah, a key figure in former President Trump’s Gaza negotiating team, has resigned, accusing the U.S. and Israel of sabotaging near-successful ceasefire talks with Hamas. Bahbah claims negotiators in Qatar were ordered home by U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff just as Hamas was close to accepting deal terms. He blames Prime Minister Netanyahu’s hardline Gaza takeover plan for collapsing peace efforts. A former “Arab Americans for Trump” leader, Bahbah vows to continue independent mediation as Israel advances toward full control of Gaza.

The U.S. has accused Iran of supplying advanced weapons to Yemen’s Houthi rebels, prompting a sharp denial from Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baqaei, who called it a “baseless media campaign.” According to CENTCOM, Yemen's National Resistance Forces (YNRF) recently seized the largest-ever cache of Iranian conventional arms—allegedly bound for the Houthis—including anti-ship and anti-aircraft missiles, radar systems, warheads, and communications gear, much of it bearing Iranian military markings and Farsi-language manuals. CENTCOM Commander Gen. Michael Kurilla praised the YNRF and labeled Iran the “most destabilizing actor” in the region.

Tensions flare as Hamas rejects U.S. accusations that it derailed ceasefire negotiations, insisting it submitted a final response after wide consultations. The Palestinian group claims it remains committed to halting Israeli aggression and securing desperately needed humanitarian aid for Gaza. Meanwhile, U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff abruptly withdrew from the Doha talks, citing Hamas’s “lack of good faith.” With Israeli airstrikes continuing and 28 nations now demanding an end to the blockade, pressure is rising on all sides.

Despite relentless Israeli strikes, Hamas claims it remains undefeated, with 20,000 fighters still ready to battle. Recent ambushes by Al-Qassam and Al-Quds Brigades have killed multiple Israeli soldiers, including five in a Beit Hanoun IED blast. Abu Obeida warns Israel of further losses in a war of attrition. As ceasefire talks begin in Doha, both sides escalate operations. Israel demands Hamas disarm, while Trump urges Hamas to accept peace or face dire consequences amid growing regional instability.

In a major escalation, five Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) soldiers have been killed and fourteen others wounded following a sophisticated IED (Improvised Explosive Device) attack by Hamas. The incident occurred in Beit Hanoun, a hotspot in northern Gaza that has seen a recent surge in militant activity. According to reports, the attack targeted an army medical unit that was entering the area to evacuate soldiers who were wounded in earlier fighting.
Four of the fallen soldiers were from the 97th Netzah Yehuda Battalion, with the fifth belonging to the Northern Gaza Brigade. The IDF has officially named some of the deceased, including Staff Sgt. Noam Musgadian and Sgt. Moshe Frech, as the nation mourns their loss. All fourteen injured soldiers have been evacuated for urgent medical treatment. This attack comes at a critical time, coinciding with indirect ceasefire talks between Israel and Hamas, mediated in Doha, Qatar. The latest round of talks on Monday ended without any significant breakthrough.
Adding a layer of political drama to the tragedy, a photograph circulated by RT News allegedly captured Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's furious reaction to the news, which he reportedly received just before a dinner with former U.S. President Donald Trump.
This deadly incident, occurring two years into the Israel-Gaza war, highlights the persistent threat posed by Hamas and raises serious questions about Israel's ability to completely secure the region and neutralize the group's operational capabilities.

Ceasefire hopes dim as the first round of indirect talks between Israel and Hamas ends inconclusively in Doha, Qatar. According to Palestinian sources, the Israeli delegation arrived without the authority to finalize a deal — casting serious doubt on Netanyahu’s commitment to ending the war. Meanwhile, Gaza remains under siege, with over 57,000 Palestinians killed, infrastructure destroyed, and hostages still held captive. As Netanyahu heads to Washington for a third meeting with President Trump, pressure mounts from both international mediators and citizens at home demanding action.
Is a deal still possible — or is peace slipping further away?
