🇺🇸 Senate Targets Jack Smith in Oversight Hearing

Former special counsel Jack Smith faces the Senate Judiciary Committee this week in a hearing titled "Oversight of Jack Smith's Abuse of Authority and the Targeting of Republicans and Related Matters."

Smith supervised the now-dismissed federal criminal cases against President Donald Trump. The confrontational framing of the hearing signals Republican senators intend to scrutinize his conduct as special counsel, rather than conduct a neutral review.

🇬🇧 Five Arrested in Suspected Iran-Linked Plot at US Airbase

British counter-terrorism police are questioning five men arrested near RAF Fairford in western England on suspicion of explosives and terrorism offences, as investigators examine whether the arrests foiled an Iran-linked attack on the base.

Officers detained the men in the early hours of Sunday after a tip-off that three large white vans were heading toward the airfield. Suspected explosives were seized. A local councillor told Reuters a specific Iranian threat against the base had emerged around six weeks ago, prompting increased surveillance. Iran's Revolutionary Guards had previously declared RAF Fairford a legitimate target due to its use by US bombers for strikes on Iran.

President Trump said the suspects had been looking to do "big damage" and had been under joint British-US investigation. Investigators have not yet concluded whether the plot was state-backed.

🇨🇳 US and China Trade Accusations Over South China Sea Stand-Off

The US and Chinese embassies in Manila exchanged sharp accusations after a Thursday stand-off at Second Thomas Shoal, one of the key flashpoints in South China Sea territorial disputes.

The US embassy backed the Philippines, condemning Beijing's "dangerous blocking and irresponsible manoeuvres" for threatening a collision and obstructing a lawful Filipino resupply mission. China's embassy issued a counter-statement rejecting the US account.

The exchange signals continued escalation over Second Thomas Shoal, where Beijing and Manila have clashed repeatedly over resupply operations — with Washington increasingly vocal in its support for its treaty ally.

🇮🇷 Iran Ready for War to Resume, Including 'Doomsday' Scenario

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says Iran is "fully prepared" for renewed conflict with the United States, warning his country will "stand firm in the face of any aggression" — even if war escalates to a "doomsday" scenario.

Araghchi made the statement on Meet the Press amid reports that President Trump is considering resuming strikes after the midterm elections. Iran has not abandoned diplomacy, he said, but Trump has publicly rejected a proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

The comments signal Tehran is bracing for a second round of hostilities while keeping a diplomatic channel nominally open.

🇺🇸 Trump Rejects Iran's Hormuz Deal — War Continues

President Donald Trump on Saturday rejected an Iranian proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and end hostilities, saying he had turned down the offer outside the White House.

Iran raised the initiative at the UN General Assembly in New York, transmitting it to Washington via Qatari mediators. Tehran said the deal could have reopened the strategic waterway within seven days. Trump dismissed it: "I reject their proposal. They want to make a deal where they open the Strait immediately because they're losing so badly."

The Strait of Hormuz is critical to global energy supply and remains central to the US-Iran conflict, now at a stalemate after nearly seven months of fighting.
