- Iran said Monday it attacked US military targets in Jordan in retaliation for the first American strikes on its territory in a month, marking a fresh flare-up in the six-month war.
Tehran's powerful Revolutionary Guards said they struck two US military air bases with ballistic missiles in Washington-allied Jordan, causing "heavy damage."
Jordan's army said it had intercepted eight missiles, without stating their origin.
The strikes came after the United States said Sunday it had attacked Iranian rocket launchers on a small island in the Strait of Hormuz.
Washington said its attacks were aimed at preventing Iran from launching more sea mines into the strait, days after it announced it had completed clearing explosives from the strategic waterway.

Washington also revoked the terrorist designation of al-Nusrah Front, also known as Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), the rebel group whose forces overthrew longtime Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad in December 2024.
The sanctions relief is being presented as a major step towards Syria’s economic recovery and reintegration into the global economy.
However, the US stressed that the move does not change its commitment to countering terrorism or holding individuals it considers responsible for wrongdoing in Syria accountable.

At 46, the Brazilian legend has stunned the football world by joining Ravenna in Serie C, nearly 11 years after his last official match.
What first looked like a publicity stunt became very real when Ronaldinho stepped off a private jet in Italy, completed his medical and joined the club as both a shareholder and potential player.
Now, the former Ballon d’Or winner has one more dream: to wear Ravenna’s yellow-and-red jersey, inspire the squad and, perhaps, score one final goal.
“Friendship and passion” brought him back. And Ravenna? They’re dreaming bigger than ever.

- Pakistan's former Prime Minister Imran Khan has been moved back to prison after spending a few hours overnight at a hospital, a spokesman for his party said on Friday.
Khan, 73, was transferred to a hospital in Islamabad early on Friday for medical examination, following a Supreme Court order this week. A spokesperson for Khan's party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, confirmed that the former prime minister had been taken back to Adiala prison in the garrison city of Rawalpindi.
Khan has been imprisoned since August 2023. He says the cases against him are politically motivated, an accusation the government denies.

- Extreme heat, power cuts and water shortages are fuelling public anger in Tunisia.
The demonstration was organised by Nafas, a new opposition collective seeking to unite political parties and independent figures against what it describes as government failure and injustice.
Temperatures reached 50°C (122°F) in parts of Tunisia this summer, pushing electricity demand to record levels and prompting state utility STEG to ration power in several regions.
The blackouts also disrupted water pumping stations, while medicine shortages, rising living costs and restrictions on freedoms added to growing frustration.
Protesters revived slogans from Tunisia's 2011 Arab Spring uprising, including calls for the fall of the regime and “Dégage” “Get Out.”
