Ronaldo jets out of Saudi Arabia to Madrid as US–Iran conflict escalates

Al Nassr superstar Cristiano Ronaldo has left Saudi Arabia for Madrid amid escalating US–Iran tensions and drone attacks that have hit targets in the kingdom and across the Gulf. Flight tracking data showed his Bombardier Global Express private jet departing Riyadh on Monday night and landing in the Spanish capital after a roughly seven hour flight over Egypt and the Mediterranean. His departure came hours after Iranian drones struck the US embassy compound in Riyadh, part of a wider wave of retaliatory missile and drone attacks across the region following the killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in US–Israeli strikes. Reports say Ronaldo left with his partner Georgina Rodriguez and their children, as many foreign nationals and celebrities seek to temporarily relocate from frontline Gulf states over security concerns. The Asian Football Confederation has already suspended several West […]

Iran drones hit US embassy in Saudi Arabia, cause fire but no casualties

Iranian drones have struck the United States embassy compound in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, in one of Tehran’s most direct attacks on American diplomatic assets since the current Gulf conflict escalated. Saudi Arabia’s Defence Ministry said two drones hit the embassy in the early hours of Tuesday, sparking a limited fire and causing minor structural damage but no casualties, as the mission was closed at the time. Witnesses reported a loud explosion and black smoke rising over Riyadh’s Diplomatic Quarter, which houses several foreign embassies and international organisations. Saudi air defences were reported to have intercepted additional drones aimed at the diplomatic district, amid warnings that Iran is expanding its retaliation beyond military bases to industrial and diplomatic targets across the region. US President Donald Trump said Washington would respond to the attack and to the recent deaths of four American […]

World on edge as US, Israel strike Iran and Tehran hits back

The world is on edge after the United States and Israel launched joint strikes on Iran, prompting Tehran to fire missiles across the Middle East in a dangerous military escalation. US President Donald Trump announced that a major combat operation was under way to eliminate what he called the Iranian regime’s military and nuclear threats. The initial strikes hit multiple targets in Iran, including Tehran, Isfahan, Qom, Tabriz, Kermanshah and other cities, as well as locations linked to the country’s leadership and security agencies. In swift retaliation, Iran launched ballistic missiles and drones at Israel and at US military bases and facilities in several Gulf and Middle Eastern countries, including Qatar, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Kuwait. Explosions and interception efforts were reported over Israeli cities, while Jordanian authorities said their air defence shot down incoming […]

US clears multibillion dollar arms sales to Israel and Saudi Arabia

The United States has approved two major weapons deals worth billions of dollars for Israel and Saudi Arabia at a time of heightened tension with Iran. The State Department authorised a 3.8 billion dollar sale of 30 Apache attack helicopters to Israel, along with a 1.8 billion dollar package of joint light tactical vehicles. It said the deal would help Israel maintain a strong self defence capability and is consistent with long standing US commitments to its security. Washington already supplies Israel with billions of dollars in military aid each year. The latest approvals come as Israel observes a fragile US backed ceasefire in Gaza after more than two years of war with Hamas. The US has also approved a 9 billion dollar sale of 730 Patriot missiles to Saudi Arabia. The system is designed to defend against incoming aerial […]

Saudi Arabia warns UAE as Yemen rift deepens

Saudi Arabia has warned that its national security is a red line after a Saudi led coalition airstrike on Yemen’s southern port of Mukalla targeted what it said was a UAE linked weapons shipment for southern separatist forces. The United Arab Emirates said it was disappointed by Riyadh’s stance and denied that the shipment contained weapons, saying it was destined for its own forces.​ The strike, which Saudi state media said caused no casualties, hit a dock used to provide foreign military support to the UAE backed Southern Transitional Council, according to the coalition. Yemen’s Saudi backed presidential council head Rashad al Alimi then gave Emirati forces 24 hours to leave the country and cancelled a defence pact with the UAE, accusing it of fuelling strife by backing separatists.​ Saudi Arabia alleged that the UAE had pressured the STC to […]

Saudi Arabia records highest executions in decades

Saudi Arabia has carried out a record number of executions for the second consecutive year, prompting renewed condemnation from international human rights organisations. According to figures compiled by the UK-based advocacy group Reprieve, at least 347 people have been executed in the kingdom so far this year, exceeding the previous annual high of 345 recorded in 2024. The organisation says this makes 2025 the deadliest year since it began systematically tracking executions in the country. The most recent executions involved two Pakistani nationals who had been convicted on drug-related charges. Reprieve reports that similar cases account for the majority of deaths this year, with roughly two-thirds of those executed sentenced for non-violent drug offences. Human rights groups note that international law strongly discourages the use of capital punishment for crimes that do not involve intentional killing. The United Nations has […]

Dangote, Depots Cut Petrol Gantry Price to N840

Dangote Petroleum Refinery and several major depot operators have reduced the average gantry price of Premium Motor Spirit to N840 per litre, from N843 per litre. The adjustment follows a drop in global crude prices, with Brent crude trading at about 62 dollars per barrel over the weekend, easing refining and supply costs.​ Market data show that Dangote Refinery, AIPEC and NIPCO have all pegged their depot selling price at N840 per litre. Some others are slightly higher, with Rainoil at N844, Sigmund and Master Energy at N858 and Northwest at N850 per litre.​ Meanwhile, eight OPEC plus countries, including Saudi Arabia, Russia, Iraq, the UAE, Kuwait, Kazakhstan, Algeria and Oman, met virtually on 30 November 2025 to review market conditions and the outlook for early 2026. They confirmed an earlier decision to pause planned production increases in January, February […]

Islamic States, European Powers Rally Behind Trump’s Gaza Peace Plan

A coalition of Muslim-majority nations and European powers on Monday backed a plan by US President Donald Trump aimed at ending the war in Gaza — a proposal that has already drawn criticism from some Palestinians as a “farce.” The joint statement of support came from Egypt, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, Turkey, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, and Pakistan. The countries said they welcomed Trump’s “sincere efforts” and pledged readiness to work with the United States and other parties to secure implementation. The backing marks a rare moment of alignment, with Saudi Arabia’s stance seen as especially significant as it considers normalisation with Israel — a priority for both Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who endorsed the plan and warned Hamas of more devastation if it refused. European allies also lined up behind Trump’s proposal. French President Emmanuel […]
