Iran’s Regional Influence Weakens Amid Setbacks

Over the past two years, Iran’s network of allies across the Middle East has endured significant setbacks. In Syria, the regime of President Bashar al-Assad has collapsed. In Lebanon, Hezbollah was forced to lay down its arms under a United States-brokered ceasefire and now faces mounting pressure to fully disarm. In Yemen, the Houthis were compelled to halt disruptions of maritime traffic through the Red Sea following heavy US bombardments that targeted infrastructure and civilian areas. Adding to the string of losses, an Israeli airstrike on Thursday killed Yemen’s prime minister, Ahmed al-Rahawi, alongside several ministers. These developments have dramatically diminished what was once seen as Iran’s formidable deterrence in the region. Observers warn that Tehran’s influence may shrink further as its position in Iraq grows increasingly precarious. The Iraqi government is under pressure from Washington to curb the power […]

Drought Uncovers 40 Ancient Tombs in Iraq’s Mosul Dam Reservoir

In a rare archaeological discovery, researchers in drought-stricken Iraq have uncovered 40 ancient tombs after water levels in the country’s largest reservoir receded, an antiquities official revealed on Saturday. The tombs, believed to be more than 2,300 years old, were unearthed along the edges of the Mosul Dam reservoir in the Khanke region of Duhok province in northern Iraq. The discovery has been hailed as an extraordinary find, shedding light on Iraq’s rich ancient history. Tombs Dating Back Over 2,300 Years Bekas Brefkany, the Director of Antiquities in Duhok, confirmed the discovery, stating, "So far, we have discovered approximately 40 tombs." His team had initially surveyed the area in 2023, spotting fragments of a few tombs. However, excavation only began this year when water levels dropped to their lowest point, revealing the previously hidden tombs. In recent years, similar discoveries […]

UK Bans 100 Occupations from Foreign Recruitment to Reduce Migration

The UK government has introduced significant restrictions on foreign recruitment, barring over 100 occupations from being filled by international workers in a bid to reduce net migration. The new policy, unveiled by the Home Office on X (formerly Twitter) Saturday morning, is aimed at prioritizing job opportunities for British workers while reshaping the country's visa system. “Cutting net migration means getting the fundamentals right. More than 100 occupations are no longer eligible for overseas recruitment, opening up more jobs for British workers. A fairer, skills-focused system is now taking shape,” the statement read. This latest move is part of Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer’s broader strategy to address migration, following his Labour Party's landslide victory in the 2024 general election, where he succeeded Rishi Sunak. Job Sectors Affected The occupations affected by the ban include roles in hospitality, logistics, healthcare […]

US blocks visas for Palestinian officials ahead of UN summit

The United States announced on Friday that it will refuse visas to Palestinian Authority officials planning to attend next month’s United Nations General Assembly in New York. The move comes as France leads an international push to recognize a Palestinian state. The decision marks a significant escalation by President Donald Trump’s administration, which has consistently aligned itself with Israel’s government. Israel strongly opposes Palestinian statehood and has sought to equate the West Bank-based Palestinian Authority with Hamas in Gaza. “Secretary of State Marco Rubio is denying and revoking visas from members of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) and the Palestinian Authority (PA) ahead of the UN General Assembly,” the US State Department said in a statement. The department accused Palestinian leaders of undermining peace efforts by turning to international courts instead of direct negotiations with Israel. It said the PA […]

Trump Revokes Kamala Harris’ Secret Service Protection

President Donald Trump has revoked the Secret Service protection that had been arranged for former Vice President Kamala Harris by Joe Biden before leaving office, according to her advisers. By law, former vice presidents are entitled to six months of protection after leaving office. Harris’ coverage, which should have expired in July, had been quietly extended for another year through an executive directive signed by Biden. But a memo signed by Trump on Thursday, seen by the BBC, ordered that protection be discontinued starting September 1. The timing coincides with Harris’ upcoming national book tour to promote 107 Days, a memoir recounting her short-lived 2024 presidential campaign. A senior White House official confirmed the directive, while sources told CBS that a recent threat assessment did not find any compelling reason to extend Harris’ security detail beyond what is legally mandated.

Fed’s Lisa Cook Battles Trump’s Firing Attempt

Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook will head to federal court on Friday to seek an emergency temporary restraining order to block her removal by President Donald Trump. The move comes as part of a legal battle over the president’s attempt to fire her from the Federal Reserve Board of Governors. Trump announced Cook’s removal in a letter posted on his Truth Social account earlier this week, alleging mortgage fraud. The announcement escalates his long-running feud with the Fed, an institution that has historically operated independently of the White House. In response, Cook filed a lawsuit challenging the dismissal, asking the court to declare Trump’s firing order “unlawful and void.” The case could have significant implications for the autonomy of the US central bank. Democrats have sharply criticized Trump’s action, describing it as an unprecedented level of political interference in the […]

US Ends Duty-Free Imports Under $800

The United States has officially ended its long-standing tariff exemption for low-cost imports, a move expected to reshape global trade and hit small businesses particularly hard. Starting Friday, goods valued at $800 (£592) or less will no longer qualify for duty-free entry and will instead face stricter customs checks. This decision brings an end to the widely used de minimis exemption, which has allowed millions of packages to enter the country without tariffs. According to US Customs, nearly 1.4 billion packages worth over $64 billion entered the US last year under this rule. The policy change, championed by President Donald Trump, aims to strengthen domestic industry and reduce reliance on cheap imports—but it is likely to come at a cost for consumers and entrepreneurs. Industry experts warn that shoppers should expect higher prices and fewer product options, especially in the […]

Thai Court Removes PM Paetongtarn Shinawatra

Thailand has been thrown into fresh political turmoil after the Constitutional Court removed Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra from office, dealing a significant blow to the country’s most powerful political dynasty. The 39-year-old leader was dismissed for violating ethical standards following a leaked June phone call with Cambodia’s former leader Hun Sen. In the recording, Paetongtarn referred to Hun Sen as “uncle” and criticised the Thai army, at a time of escalating border tensions between the two countries. The call, which was leaked by Hun Sen himself, sparked outrage and raised questions about her loyalty. Critics accused her of undermining Thailand’s national security, while the court ruled that her remarks created doubt about whether her actions benefited Cambodia more than Thailand’s interests. In its verdict, six of the nine judges voted to remove her from office, making her the fifth Thai […]
