US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has appeared before Congress for the first time since the war on Iran began, facing sharp questions from Democrats over the military campaign and its estimated $25bn cost.
Hegseth defended the operation, claiming the president will secure a deal preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons, but polls show most Americans do not support the war.
Democrats challenged the strategy's effectiveness and highlighted broader economic costs to American families, which one lawmaker estimated at $631bn.

Dramatic video from a railway station in Bangladesh shows a father shielding his infant underneath a moving train after the child fell off the platform. Local media reported that both escaped unharmed after eight carriages passed over them.
Video has been published by Russian mercenaries showing a heavy gun battle between Mali’s military and rebels who are seeking to overthrow the government.
During a fiery hearing in US Congress, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was repeatedly pressed over how much it cost US taxpayers to strike an Iranian school in Minab which killed 120 children. Democratic Representative Ro Khanna asked Hegseth to explain the attack and the wider financial impact of the US war on Iran, estimated at $25B so far.

Hundreds of Iranians have rallied in Tehran to demand an end to US threats and the ongoing blockade of Iranian ports. The blockade is causing Iran’s already devalued currency to sink further.
Hundreds of Ultra-Orthodox Jews blocked a main road to West Jerusalem, as part of protests against Israel’s mandatory military service for religious students. Israeli police attempted to disperse the demonstrators.
More flights are now departing from Tehran's main airport, days after it reopened following weeks of disruption. But traffic remains well below pre-war levels.

US officials have defended a military operation targeting Iran’s nuclear facilities, claiming they have been “obliterated” and are under constant surveillance. However, questions have been raised in Congress over whether the strikes achieved any strategic success, with critics arguing that Iran’s nuclear ambitions and conventional missile capabilities remain intact.
During a heated exchange on Capitol Hill, lawmakers challenged the Trump administration’s framing of the operation as a success, pointing to ongoing regional tensions, continued Iranian capabilities, and the financial cost of the conflict, which they say has reached billions of dollars.

In this episode of This Is America, hosted by Cyril Vanier, Al Jazeera asks whether Donald Trump’s biggest political asset – the economy – has flipped into a major liability as the war with Iran drives up prices and sends his approval ratings towards historic lows ahead of the midterms.
From Pasco County, Florida – Trump’s home state and a Republican stronghold where 62% voted for him in 2024 – Phil Lavelle meets supporters who once backed him enthusiastically but are now angered by soaring fuel, grocery, housing and healthcare costs. Gas prices have jumped above $4 a gallon, flights are “through the roof” because the Strait of Hormuz is blocked, and more than three‑quarters of registered voters – including over half of Republicans and 82% of independents – now blame Trump for the cost‑of‑living squeeze.
In Washington, Chief US Correspondent Alan Fisher track how Trump defends the Iran war as “short‑term pain for long‑term gain”, even as Democrats such as Salud Carbajal grill Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth on Capitol Hill over a $25bn war bill and a push for a 40% larger Pentagon budget.
Manuel Rapalo pulls up the Gallup data to show how Trump’s second‑term approval has fallen far faster than Bill Clinton, George W Bush or Barack Obama, with sharp drops after a government shutdown, tariffs and the joint US‑Israel attack on Iran.
Outside the Federal Reserve, Richard Gaisford explains why Fed Chair Jerome Powell warns that the Iran war is fuelling inflation and could “bake in” higher prices even as Trump’s allies push for rate cuts.
In the studio, former White House economic adviser Harry Broadman and former Bush administration official Suhail Khan argue that uncertainty over the war is now more corrosive than prices alone, urge the president to find an off‑ramp, and warn that Republicans could pay heavily in Congress if the pain continues.
At Union Station in Washington, Alex Baird rounds up a rare moment of online unity as Americans across the political spectrum vent about “pain at the pump”, rising rents, grocery bills and fertiliser costs that have some saying the American dream is turning into an American nightmare.
This Is America asks: as the Iran war turns the economy from Trump’s core strength into a political liability, does he care what the polls say – and how long does he really have to turn things around before voters deliver their verdict?

An inside look at Chornobyl, 40 years after the disaster. The exclusion zone remains radioactive - now shaped by war. From deserted cities to returning wildlife and rising military risk, what’s unfolding there today raises urgent questions about nuclear danger and what the future might hold.

Russia says it hopes the UAE's decision to leave OPEC won't spell the end of the oil-producing group.
The UAE announced it will depart the oil-producing bloc on Friday, after nearly 60 years of membership.
It paves the way for the country to raise production from 3.6 million to up to five million barrels a day.
Russia, the second-largest crude producer in OPEC+, says it will stay in the group.
The Iran war has disrupted global energy supplies.
OPEC is holding a meeting at its headquarters in Vienna to discuss the latest data on the oil and gas industry.

An Israeli air attack on a residential building in Jebchit town in Lebanon has killed five members of the same family. Video from the scene shows the area in ruins.
More than six months after a US-brokered ceasefire took effect in the Gaza Strip, Palestinians say Israeli forces continue to violate the agreement with daily attacks.
The latest strike killed Ibrahim Saqr, a paramedic and father of two, as he headed to work in northern Gaza.
Medical officials say at least 17 paramedics have been killed in the north since the truce began, with journalists, civil defence teams and police also targeted, including four officers killed a day earlier.
Artillery shelling in central areas and naval fire along the coast have also been reported, with at least 823 Palestinians killed since the ceasefire took effect.
Residents describe deepening despair, with no reconstruction, no return to homes and no Israeli withdrawal implemented on the ground.
Humanitarian aid remains far below agreed levels, with only around 150 of the promised 600 daily trucks entering mostly carrying commercial goods. Fuel and spare part shortages are pushing vital services to the brink, with hospitals at risk of losing oxygen supplies and incubators, and sewage systems in Khan Younis no longer functioning.

Lebanon's president Joseph Aoun is facing criticism for holding direct talks with Israel and supporting a ceasefire that many displaced people say has failed to stop Israeli attacks.
More than a million Lebanese remain displaced, with some accusing the government of allowing Israel to continue striking perceived threats and occupying southern land.
Aoun defends the negotiations, saying those who took Lebanon to war for foreign interests committed treason, and aims to end the state of war with Israel.
Political divisions are deepening as the US pushes for peace and Hezbollah's disarmament, which the group rejects.

Al Jazeera hosted a panel discussion on the US-Iran stalemate with two guests: Rob Geist Pinfold, Lecturer in International Security at King's College London, and Zohreh Kharazmi, Associate Professor at the Faculty of World Studies at the University of Tehran.
Rob Geist Pinfold argued that neither side wants a return to direct conflict.
The US is "feeling the pinch" with gas prices at a four-year high, while Iran needs time to regroup after military degradation. However, neither wants to be the first to compromise. He noted that the IRGC has consolidated its power, functioning as a "shadow state," and has incentives to prolong the conflict. Ordinary Iranians are paying the price, with the IMF forecasting Iran's economy will contract significantly. He cited up to 30,000 killed in recent protests over dire economic conditions.
Zohreh Kharazmi countered that Western media overestimates Iran's economic problems. She argued that 200 million barrels of floating oil have been sold, and Iran's new security paradigm in the Strait of Hormuz has broken sanctions structures. She dismissed reports of mass protests as "fabricated lies," accusing the West of inflating casualty numbers to "whitewash what Israelis did in Gaza." She insisted that decision-making is collective via the Supreme National Security Council, not dominated by the IRGC, and that millions of Iranians continue to show support for the Islamic Republic nightly.
Both agreed the IRGC does better in conflict, but disagreed sharply on whether ordinary Iranians support or suffer from that dynamic.

A digital rights organisation has found that Meta is allowing Israeli settler groups and anti-Palestinian influencers to monetise content on Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp, despite violating the company's own rules.
Groups such as Hilltop Youth, which is sanctioned by the EU, UK, Australia and Canada for violent attacks on Palestinians, maintain monetised accounts on Meta's platforms.
Meanwhile, Meta has removed thousands of Palestinian accounts, including those of journalists documenting Israel's war on Gaza, and prohibits monetisation of any Palestinian accounts.
Rights groups say the disparity reflects systematic bias rather than a technical issue.

International flights have resumed at Tehran's Imam Khomeini Airport after 57 days of suspension amid a fragile ceasefire. The resumption comes with both pessimism and optimism, as the ceasefire could either lead to lasting peace or another round of confrontation. While the main airport reopens, Mehrabad Airport and several other airports across the country sustained attacks, and multiple civilian aircraft were damaged.
On US President Donald Trump's claim that Iran is in a "state of collapse" and wants the Strait of Hormuz opened, Tehran says the door for diplomacy is "ajar" — ready to negotiate but not under imposed conditions — while maintaining military readiness for any scenario. Unlike previous talks limited to the nuclear dossier and sanctions, current negotiations involve war reparations, security assurances, frozen assets, the Strait of Hormuz, and the US naval blockade.

Four Indonesian soldiers are due to stand trial in Jakarta over an acid attack on prominent activist Andrie Yunus, who suffered severe burns to a quarter of his body.
The assault occurred after Yunus had recorded a podcast criticising the military's growing influence in Indonesian society.
An investigation linked the four soldiers to the attack, but activists accuse the armed forces of a wider campaign to intimidate critics and say trying the case in a military court lacks transparency.
Rights groups have called on President Prabowo Subianto, a retired general, to launch an independent investigation.

For years, the capture or killing of cartel leaders has been framed as a major victory in Mexico’s war on drugs.

Hezbollah released footage said to show an FPV drone targeting an Israeli army troop carrier in al-Qantara, southern Lebanon. The video comes as Israel issued new forced evacuation notices for areas in the Tyre district, beyond its so-called “buffer zone”, further escalating tensions despite a US-brokered ceasefire aimed at halting cross-border fighting.
