Renewed threats to strike Iran have once again raised the stakes across the Middle East.
The US and Israel have toughened their stance against Tehran in recent weeks as the country was gripped by nationwide protests.
Iran accused Israel of interference in those demonstrations.
As the war rhetoric ramps up, Iran is threatening to inflict heavy damage on Israel, if it's attacked.
The tension between the two sides follows decades of mutual hostility that has shaped the geopolitics of the region.
So, does diplomacy stand a chance in this long-running conflict?

Cubans are cooking on charcoal and facing worsening power blackouts after the US cut the island off of Venezuelan oil exports. US President Donald Trump promised Cuba will “fail” soon and threatened tariffs on any nations doing business with the island. Can Cuba’s communist government survive the latest US push for regime change?

The Syrian government and Kurdish-led SDF have reached a ceasefire deal, ending years of autonomous rule in the northeast.
While the agreement aims to prevent further conflict, authorities must overcome mistrust and ensure inclusivity among diverse communities.
Demonstrations and lingering tensions highlight the road ahead.

The rise of online influencers and creators is another focus of the Web Summit.
It has reshaped the media and advertising and how people make money online.

Goldman Sachs predicts the market of the creator economy could surge to 480 billion dollars by 2027.
Most big brands have now pivoted to using creators and influencers to promote their products, through sponsored advertisements and collaborations on platforms like TikTok and Instagram.
Some companies have leveraged partnerships with creators.
Spotify paid out over 100 million dollars to podcasters in the first quarter of last year through its partner program.

Uptin Saiidi is a journalist and content creator who interviewed Logan Paul at the Web Summit. He says the rise of influencers has reshaped the media and how we engage with it.

Rights groups in the Republic of Congo have accused the presidential guard of carrying out dozens of extrajudicial killings.
But the government says the soldiers are just cracking down on crime and have only killed those violently resisting arrest.

Syria's army is preparing to enter the north-eastern city of Qamishli - another stronghold of the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).
It's part of a crucial ceasefire deal reached between the two sides.
There's a day-time curfew in place in the city, which authorities say is needed to “maintain order during the transition.”
The deployments mark a crucial step in implementing the ceasefire deal which will see the SDF integrated into the government.

Al Jazeera’s Zeina Khodr has the latest from Pirak, on the outskirts of the area.

Hiwa Osman is a former adviser to Iraqi President Jalal Talabani and director general of 964media.com. He says Rojava is now “at a crossroads”, with a fragile ceasefire and an uneasy SDF–Damascus deal that could either lead to renewed repression and bloodshed against Kurds or open the door to constitutional rights and a new model for Kurdish autonomy in Syria.

Superheroes are often seen as symbols of justice, but could their stories be shaping our sense of morality in ways we don't even realise?

In this episode of @DohaDebates podcast, host Malika Bilal questions the cultural power of superheroes, from their commercial dominance to the way they influence our perceptions of morality, justice and heroism.

Joined by New York Times bestselling author Nnedi Okorafor, religion and pop culture scholar Hussein Rashid, and social critic and journalist Keith Spencer, the discussion explores what makes a superhero “super” and whether fictional heroes are filling a growing moral gap in society.

The views expressed in this episode are the guests’ own and do not necessarily reflect Al Jazeera’s editorial stance. Visit the @DohaDebates YouTube channel for the extended version.

Iran's president has confirmed that Tehran will negotiate directly with United States, after weeks of escalating tensions between the two countries.
A senior Iranian official has told Al Jazeera that those talks are expected to be held in Turkiye in the coming days.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi is expected to meet US special envoy Steve Witkoff.

Ahead of those negotiations, US special envoy Steve Witkoff is heading to Israel for talks with Benjamin Netanyahu on Gaza and Iran.
Senior Israeli military officials have also been in Washington for talks on possible Iran strikes.
Al Jazeera looks at why many in Israel are lobbying against a diplomatic breakthrough.

Daniel Levy is President of the US Middle East Project and a former Israeli political negotiator, and he says Israel is actively trying to block any real US‑Iran diplomatic breakthrough because its strategic goal is not de‑escalation but regime and even state collapse in Iran.

Not only does Gaza’s border with Egypt need to fully open but so do all other “pathways for patients”, says Tarik Jasarevic, a spokesperson for the World Health Organization (WHO).

“We know the most time-efficient and cost-efficient referral pathways are through to the West Bank and East Jerusalem, where there are medical facilities ready to receive patients,” Jasarevic told Al Jazeera.

“We have been calling for the opening of all crossings throughout the war,” he added.

While thousands of patients in Gaza need security clearances from Israeli authorities to leave the enclave for treatment, countries around the world also need to step forward and accept wounded and ill Palestinians after more than two years of devastation, Jasarevic said.

“So far during the war, we evacuated more than 10,000 people, and the majority of these people went to Egypt and after that the United Arab Emirates, Turkey and some European countries. … What we really should be focused on now is to rebuild the health system inside Gaza so we don’t rely so much on evacuations.”

Gold fever has returned to remote New South Wales as the precious metal's price surges more than 60 per cent, drawing tourists and prospectors to historic Australian mining areas. The boom, driven by geopolitical uncertainty pushing investors towards safe-haven assets, has reignited interest in fossicking and commercial operations in towns like Hill End, which hosted 30,000 people during the mid-1800s gold rush. Whilst jewellery retailers report declining sales due to high prices, locals and operators believe modern technology could uncover significant deposits still hidden in the region's gold-bearing creeks.

Three years after a catastrophic train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio, the village is using a $22m settlement from Norfolk Southern Railway to revamp its old freight depot and fund local projects. The 2023 disaster saw 38 cars derail and catch fire after a wheel bearing overheated, with 11 carrying hazardous materials. Whilst the company has completed remediation efforts and paid over $900m in total settlements and cleanup costs, residents report ongoing health issues including tumours and tremors. A long-term study is examining the effects of exposure to multiple toxic chemicals, as the community hopes their experience will prevent future disasters.

Years of war and a US-backed economic blockade have forced Yemen's skilled professionals—engineers, technicians and civil servants—to abandon government jobs and join the informal economy just to survive.
Bashir al-Merhibi, once employed in land and housing projects, now works as a plumber and motorbike taxi driver after his salary stopped. The exodus of qualified workers, particularly in medical and academic sectors, has left critical gaps across the country and worsened Yemen's humanitarian crisis.
As fears of renewed conflict mount, workers continue adapting to support their families whilst communities struggle with the loss of essential expertise.

Wael Tarabishi, a 30-year-old man with a rare genetic condition, died days after his father Maher was detained by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) during a routine check-in.
Maher, an undocumented immigrant previously allowed to remain in the United States to care for his son, was refused release despite family warnings that Mayel could not survive without him.
ICE also denied Maher permission to attend his son's funeral, claiming he is a criminal with a felony conviction, allegations the family categorically denies.
The case has raised questions about compassion and enforcement priorities within US immigration policy.

The United Nations faces a critical juncture as the race begins to replace Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, with former Chilean President Michelle Bachelet emerging as the first official candidate, backed by Chile, Mexico and Brazil.
Twice Chile's president and former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Bachelet enters a competitive field that includes candidates from Costa Rica, Ecuador, Argentina and Barbados, all vying to lead an organisation in crisis.
The winner must secure unanimous Security Council approval at a time when founding members, including the United States, openly question the UN's relevance, and the body struggles with wars, climate change and institutional paralysis.

Rubaya in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo sits atop some of the world's most strategic minerals—coltan, tin and tungsten—essential for modern technology.
Since M23 rebels captured the town last year, control of these resources has become central to a growing regional controversy, despite a US-backed peace deal signed between the DRC and Rwanda. Thousands of artisanal miners work vast open pits daily by hand, whilst multiple UN and NGO reports accuse M23 of earning up to $1 million monthly from the trade.
Just days after filming, nearly 200 miners were killed when a section of the mine collapsed, leaving many still trapped underground and highlighting the deadly risks of poor safety standards in DRC's artisanal mining sector.

US special envoy Steve Witkoff is travelling to Israel to hold discussions on Gaza and Iran with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and military leaders, ahead of planned US-Iranian talks that Israel has opposed. Whilst regional actors have worked to facilitate diplomacy, Israeli political and public opinion overwhelmingly favours striking Iran and pursuing regime change, a position Netanyahu has advocated for decades. The consultations come as the US has significantly increased its military presence in the region under President Trump's "peace through strength" doctrine, and as senior Israeli officials have held Washington talks on potential targets and tactics should the administration choose military action over negotiation.

Medellin has transformed from a city once synonymous with drug cartels into a hub of innovation and business, attracting significant US investment and trade. However, the longstanding partnership between Colombia and the United States now faces strain as Presidents Gustavo Petro and Donald Trump clash over migration, drug policy and regional politics. American businesses and Colombian startups report rising uncertainty, whilst billions in investment and decades of security cooperation hang in the balance. Colombia remains the world's largest cocaine producer, despite extensive joint efforts under Plan Colombia to combat trafficking.

A convoy of 150 Syrian soldiers has entered the city of Hasaka in northeastern Syria as part of a phased transfer of internal security duties from the Kurdish-led SDF to state authorities. The deployment follows an agreement signed last week under which the SDF will hand over territory, government offices, and oil and gas fields it has controlled since Syria's civil war. Whilst the Syrian government pledges to guarantee civil and political rights for Kurds, many remain apprehensive about coming under Damascus's control, with some factions within the SDF opposing the deal. The transfer was coordinated with the Asayesh, the SDF's internal police force, and officials say further areas will transition to government control in the coming days.

The latest release of evidence from the Jeffrey Epstein case has exposed more than 3 million pages of documents, including 2,000 videos and 180,000 images, implicating prominent global figures in their associations with the late convicted paedophile.
The materials reveal politically sensitive connections to Britain's former Duke of York, Norway's Crown Princess, Slovakia's national security adviser, and business leaders including Elon Musk, Richard Branson and Bill Gates.
US President Donald Trump, whose name appears thousands of times in the files, is threatening legal action against Epstein's estate and author Michael Wolff over claims he denies.
Survivors' advocates criticise the release for lacking transparency, whilst growing calls demand the disclosure of all 6 million pages collected by the Department of Justice.

It's the first day of the reopening of the Rafah crossing between Gaza and Egypt after nearly two years.
So far only five patients have been able to leave the Strip to receive medical treatment abroad.
Even with Israel's limited reopening of the crossing, the expectation was that 50 patients would be allowed to exit the strip each day.

The Syrian army has moved into the city of Hasakah, formerly under the control of the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).
It’s the first step in the implementation of an integration deal between the army and the SDF.
Hasakah is located in northeastern Syria and has long been a stronghold of the SDF.
A large convoy of trucks was seen entering the city hours after the SDF declared a curfew there.
Under the agreement, Syrian government forces are also expected to enter the cities of Kobani and Qamishli.
The Syrian army has established control over most of the country in the past few weeks.

The Rafah border crossing has finally reopened after months of closure as a result of Israel's devastating war on the Strip.
Hopes were running high that the freedom of movement would ease the dire humanitarian crisis created by this war.
But Israel has set strict conditions on who would leave the Strip and who would enter.
Now, only a small number people are allowed to move in both directions.
But much-needed humanitarian aid and construction material are still barred from entering the Strip, which is in ruins.
Will this reopening ease the suffering of Palestinians after two years of war?

A fast-growing social media app is in the spotlight at a technology conference in Qatar's capital.
UpScrolled has seen a meteoric rise in downloads.
That was triggered by the sale of TikTok in the US and concerns that it would result in a crackdown on pro-Palestinian content.
UpScrolled has positioned itself as a censorship-free alternative and one that's backed by a Palestinian tech incubator.

Spain's government will grant legal status to undocumented migrants currently living in the country. The decree, passed after years of grassroots campaigning, will potentially impact about 500,000 migrants and comes in stark contrast to the anti-immigration sentiment in other EU countries. Why has the Spanish government decided to embrace its migrant population now?
