Trump sends US ‘armada’ toward Gulf amid Iran tensions

President Donald Trump says a US “armada” is heading toward the Gulf as Washington keeps a close watch on Iran despite recently playing down the prospect of imminent military action. He told reporters on Air Force One, returning from the World Economic Forum in Davos, that the United States was sending a “massive fleet” toward Iran “just in case”, adding that he would rather avoid conflict but was monitoring Tehran “very closely”.​ Trump has repeatedly kept open the option of new strikes on Iran after backing Israel’s 12 day war in June aimed at degrading Iranian nuclear and ballistic missile capabilities. He said in Davos that US attacks on Iranian uranium enrichment sites last year were intended to prevent Tehran from developing a nuclear weapon, something Iran denies.​ The latest remarks come after weeks of seesaw rhetoric, with Trump at […]

Iran may ease internet blackout as hacked TV shows revolt calls

Iran may lift its nationwide internet blackout within days after using sweeping restrictions to crush the biggest anti government protests since the 1979 Islamic Revolution. A senior lawmaker said top security bodies will decide on restoring access once they judge that security conditions are appropriate.​ Authorities largely shut internet and international phone lines as unrest spread across the country from late December, only allowing a heavily filtered connection in recent days. Monitoring group Netblocks said national connectivity remains very low, with a controlled filternet now letting some messages through.​ An Iranian official told reporters that the verified death toll from the protests has passed 5,000, including about 500 security personnel, with some of the worst violence in Kurdish areas in the northwest. Rights groups abroad also say thousands were killed, citing reports of protesters hit by pellets in the face […]

Uganda opposition leader Bobi Wine ‘escapes’ house arrest

Ugandan opposition leader Bobi Wine says he escaped a night‑time raid on his home by police and army personnel, hours after rejecting early election results that show President Yoweri Museveni heading for another term in office. In a post on X, the former pop star, whose real name is Robert Kyagulanyi, said security forces stormed his residence, cut power and disabled some CCTV cameras before he managed to flee.​ Wine said he is now in an undisclosed location while his wife and family remain effectively under house arrest, surrounded by soldiers and police. Ugandan authorities have denied abducting him, with a police spokesman insisting he is “at home” and “not under arrest,” despite his party alleging an army helicopter had earlier landed in his compound and taken him away.​ The opposition figure has accused the government of massive vote‑rigging in […]

Iran warns it will strike back if US attacks

Iran has warned that it will hit Israel and US military bases if the United States launches strikes on its territory, as mass protests continue across the country.​ Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf told lawmakers that any US attack would be a serious mistake and said Iran would treat Israel, US bases and US ships as legitimate targets. Qalibaf is a former commander in the Revolutionary Guards, the elite force that plays a central role in Iran’s security.​ The warning comes as Iran faces its largest anti-government protests since 2022, driven first by soaring inflation and then by anger at the country’s clerical rule. Rights group HRANA says at least 116 people have been killed so far, including 37 members of the security forces. Authorities accuse the United States and Israel of fueling the unrest and have tightened their crackdown.​ […]

Iran’s Khamenei vows no retreat as nationwide protests grow

Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei says Iran will not back down as protests continue across the country over rising prices and economic hardship. The latest unrest has spread to major cities, with demonstrators complaining about high inflation, a weak currency and the rising cost of living.​ Khamenei accused some protesters of acting on behalf of foreign enemies and warned that the state would not tolerate what it calls rioters attacking public property. He said the Islamic Republic would not yield to pressure and described those involved in violence as mercenaries for outsiders.​ Authorities have limited internet access and disrupted communications as the protests have grown, leaving many parts of Iran largely cut off from the outside world. Domestic flights have been cancelled and local news websites have struggled to update, further restricting information from inside the country.​ Officials are […]

Tanzania lifts curfew and eases internet blackout after post-election violence

Tanzania has begun easing restrictions imposed after last week’s violent elections, with authorities lifting a nationwide curfew and partially restoring internet access. The move comes after days of unrest that the opposition says left hundreds dead. The electoral commission declared President Samia Suluhu Hassan the winner of the October 29 election with 98 percent of the vote, a result the opposition party Chadema dismissed as a “sham.” An AFP correspondent reported a slow return to normalcy in Dar es Salaam on Tuesday. Many residents cautiously resumed daily activities, though fear of renewed violence remained. “I hope violence will not come again,” said Rehema Shehoza, a 32-year-old food vendor. “Some of us would die from hunger because I need to get out for work to get my daily bread.” Police confirmed the lifting of the curfew imposed on election day, and […]
