Houthis Claim Biggest Advancement This Year in Yemen | BBC News>

Sep 18, 2026 | Iran-backed Houthi rebels have made significant gains in Yemen on the Red Sea coast, impacting Saudi Arabian exports and contributing to the continued price of a barrel of oil at above $100.

Elsewhere, Saudi Arabia intercepted and destroyed a Houthi drone south of the Islamic holy city of Mecca on Tuesday evening, according to the spokesman of the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen. The 57-nation Organisation of Islamic Cooperation said attacks on Mecca and Medina province, where Islam's second holiest shrine is located, constituted an "unacceptable and intolerable transgression".

Meanwhile, the US has allowed Iranian officials to attend the UN General Assembly next week in New York. The delegation will take part in the United Nations General Assembly's grand debate for 2026, but will face strict travel restrictions whilst they are in the country.

9/11 Victim’s Son Exposes US ‘Cover-Up’ of Saudi Arabia

Sep 14, 2026 | A quarter of a century after the tragic attacks on September 11, the families of some victims are continuing a pursuit of justice on behalf of their loved ones through a civil lawsuit against the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

In a ‘Mehdi Unfiltered’ interview, 9/11 Justice president Brett Eagleson, whose father Bruce was tragically killed in the attacks on the Twin Towers 25 years ago, breaks down the latest on the lawsuit and why he believes all the evidence that’s been uncovered during litigation “points a big fat finger at Saudi Arabia.” (The Kingdom, of course, denies any role in the 2001 attacks.)

Eagleson also discusses Trump’s cozy relationship with MBS and his failure “to try to get Saudi Arabia to admit culpability” for the attacks on September 11, as well as what he calls the “shameful” and “pathetic attempt” to ban New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani from attending a commemoration ceremony at Ground Zero.

Iran-backed Houthis Claim Major Advance in Yemen | BBC News

Sep 11, 2026 | Yemen's Iran-backed Houthis have claimed a major advance on the western Red Sea coast, consolidating their grip on the key international shipping route.

The Houthis earlier said they posed no threat to international shipping but reiterated their threat to target vessels from Saudi Arabia.

Meanwhile, leaders from 11 Brics nations - including host India, China, Russia, Brazil, South Africa, the UAE and Iran, with Saudi Arabia attending as an invited member - will hold talks this weekend in Delhi on a wide range of issues.

Saudi Prince Died at 29 — What the London Hotel Cameras Revealed

Aug 8, 2026 | In November 2025, a Saudi prince checked into a London hotel for what seemed like an ordinary visit. A week later, his life came to an unexpected end behind a locked door.

For eight months, the circumstances remained shrouded in silence, protected by royal discretion and family grief. But British law requires answers, and when the court files were finally opened, they revealed a story far more complex than anyone had imagined.

This is an account of privilege and vulnerability, of private struggles hidden behind palace walls, and of how one family faced not one but two devastating losses in a single year.

What really happened during those final days? What did the security footage reveal? And why does this story matter beyond the headlines?

The investigation uncovered medical records, missed appointments, and the last ordinary moments captured on camera. It painted a portrait of a young man who had sought help, completed treatment, and then vanished from his support network in the weeks before tragedy struck.

This is not a story of scandal or conspiracy, but of the fragile line between recovery and relapse, and the universal truth that wealth and lineage offer no immunity from personal demons.

The documentary approach taken here respects both the gravity of the loss and the lessons it holds for understanding the hidden pressures faced by those born into extraordinary circumstances.

Some scenes in this video are visual reconstructions created for illustrative purposes based on publicly reported information and the findings presented at the British coroner’s inquest. They are not authentic CCTV footage unless explicitly identified as such.

Houthis Threaten to Expand Red Sea Attacks, and Claim Strike on Saudi Tanker

THE NEW YORK TIMES: Saudi Arabia has not commented on the claim by the Houthis, who are backed by Iran and have vowed to close “all access routes” to Saudi oil shipments.

The Houthis, an Iranian-backed militia in Yemen, said Wednesday that they had struck a Saudi oil tanker in the northern Red Sea, and they threatened to intensify attacks there in an effort to close “all access routes” to Saudi oil shipments.

The Houthi military spokesman, Brig. Gen. Yahya Saree, said the group had fired ballistic missiles at a Saudi tanker called Wafa near the Saudi port city of Yanbu, though he did not say when the attack had occurred. The Saudi authorities did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the Houthis’ claim.

The Houthis declared a blockade of Saudi shipping last month. The territory they control in Yemen is near the Bab al-Mandab Strait, a narrow waterway that leads into the southern end of the Red Sea.

The group claimed on Wednesday to have attacked eight ships linked to Saudi Arabia since the blockade. The strikes have forced some shipping companies to reroute to the northern part of the Red Sea. The group’s latest threat suggested that it would pursue Saudi tankers there also, in waters heading toward the Suez Canal, another crucial artery for global trade. The global oil price, after two days of declines, jumped 1 percent on Wednesday, to about $80 a barrel. » | Euan Ward and Ismaeel Naar | Euan Ward reported from Beirut, Lebanon, and Ismaeel Naar from Dubai, United Arab Emirates.| Wednesday, August 5, 2026

Trump Climbs Down on Iran Strikes after Saudi Alarm and Threats from Tehran

THE GUARDIAN: President claims delay is ‘subject to being able to rapidly make a deal’ as intervention by Saudi crown prince is revealed and Iran warns neighbours

Donald Trump said on Saturday night that the US would hold off on any new strikes on Iran provided a deal to end the months-long conflict is quickly reached – marking the president’s latest climbdown from extravagant threats to hit the Tehran regime hard.

The Saudi crown prince Mohammed bin Salman called Trump on Saturday to express concerns about his strike plans, it was reported. Trump’s reversal also came after Iran threatened to retaliate decisively against its neighbours in the event of US strikes, while Kuwait reported being hit by Iranian drones on Saturday and two ships were attacked off Oman in the strait of Hormuz.

One source described as having knowledge of the Trump-Mohammed call told Axios that the Saudi crown prince had “urged Trump to de-escalate and refrain from launching the strikes”.

The Associated Press also reported the conversation, citing its own source. It said the Saudis were concerned that if the US targets Iran’s energy infrastructure or carries out massive strikes on other key infrastructure, Tehran could respond by carrying out similar attacks on the kingdom and other Gulf countries.

The crown prince during Saturday’s call sought clarity from Trump on what potential new action he was weighing to take against Iran, the Associated Press reported. » | Guardian staff and agencies | Sunday, August 2, 2026

Donald Trump has got himself into a bind with this illegal and totally unnecessary war on Iran. He’s in a right old pickle! Netanyahu has clearly led him up the garden path! It seems to me that America has little hope of being victorious in this war. Victory is surely Iran’s for the taking.

Americans are past masters at starting wars, but winning the wars they have started is a very different story. — © Mark Alexander

US Launched Heavy Strikes as Iran War Escalates | The Fourcast Indicators

July 30, 2026 | The war between the United States and Iran has spread across the Middle East. Fresh strikes in Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Egypt, alongside escalating Houthi attacks on international shipping, have raised fears that the region is entering a dangerous new phase.

With Washington intensifying its military campaign and Iran relying on its network of allied militias, is this becoming a wider regional war?

On this episode of The Fourcast: Indicators, Matt Frei and Mark Urban are joined by Professor Madawi al-Rasheed from the London School of Economics Middle East Centre. They discuss why the Houthis are stepping up attacks, whether Saudi Arabia is being pulled into the fighting despite its efforts to avoid it, how Iraqi militias could become a new flashpoint, and whether the US has a long-term strategy, or is being drawn into another prolonged Middle East war.

Is there still a path to de-escalation, or are we witnessing the beginning of a conflict that could engulf the wider region?


With sound judgment, this war, suffering, and death could have been avoided. The Iran War is illegitimate and quite unnecessary. It’s a war which America is almost destined to lose. Furthermore, it is a war which could very easily spiral out of control. The world is paying a very high price for the foolishness and extremely poor, infantile judgment of voters in America! — © Mark Alexander

Iran and US Trade Strikes Ending Lull in Fighting | BBC News

July 29, 2026 | Saudi Arabia and the US have carried out strikes against Iran-backed militias in Iraq, in a potential escalation of the Middle East conflict.

US Central Command said the strikes were against "Iran-aligned terrorists that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps directed to attack US forces and Saudi energy infrastructure".

Iraq's paramilitary Popular Mobilisation Forces, which is dominated by Iran-backed Shia militias, said at least 20 of its members had been killed in US-Saudi strikes on its bases.

It came hours after Centcom said Iran had launched missiles at US forces in the Middle East in an "attempted surprise attack", ending a lull in hostilities.

Stop Saudis from Executing Christians, Bishops Urge Miliband

THE TELEGRAPH: Calls for new Foreign Secretary to intervene in case of 50 Ethiopians on death row

Church of England bishops have urged Ed Miliband to intervene to halt the executions and torture of Christians in Saudi Arabian jails.

Three bishops for Southwark, Chelmsford and Winchester have written to Mohammed bin Salman, the ruler of Saudi Arabia, urging him to call an immediate halt to the executions of more than 50 Ethiopian Christians currently on death row in the state.

They have also submitted their appeal to the Foreign Office seeking an intervention from Mr Miliband, the new Foreign Secretary, to save the lives of the Christian captives.

The bishops claimed there was evidence that the Ethiopians – who fled conflict in their own country – had been mistreated, with several of them tortured and forced to sign documents they could not read or understand.

Some have been convicted of smuggling cannabis into Saudi Arabia, which the bishops said was the result of criminal traffickers coercing them into transporting goods into the Arab state without full knowledge of their contents.

“We are aware of accounts from several of these men that during transfers to court hearings, Saudi police officers discovered the crosses they were wearing around their necks, forcibly removed them and physically assaulted them,” said the bishops in their letter to the Saudi ruler and Mr Miliband. » | Charles Hymas | Home Affairs Editor | Tuesday, July 28, 2026

Saudi Joins War after ‘Surprise’ Iranian Attack on US Bases

THE TELEGRAPH: The US has launched strikes on “Iran-aligned terrorists” in Iraq as part of a joint operation with Saudi Arabia.

After five days without tit-for-tat strikes, Tehran launched an unprovoked “surprise attack” on American forces in the region overnight, firing ballistic missiles at bases in Jordan.

In retaliatory strikes by the US and Saudi Arabia, the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF), a Tehran-backed militia, said at least 20 people were killed across several of its bases across Iraq.

The attacks mark the first time Saudi Arabia has publicly joined the war in months after previously carrying out secret strikes against Iran.

The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps also struck three tankers in the Strait of Hormuz on Wednesday, despite previous threats by Donald Trump to destroy an Iranian bridge or power plant every time a ship is hit in the waterway. » | Emily Smith | Foreign Breaking News Reporter | Wednesday, July 29, 2026

'No Victory for Trump': Washington Is Failing in Iran and Saudi Deal | Former US Envoy

Jul 26, 2026 | "We have no one involved in negotiating with them that has any experience in negotiating international agreements. We have people who have no history of Iran, no understanding of the country and its culture. And so our negotiations are just failing."

Donald Trump’s administration is heading toward an embarrassing exit strategy in its war with Iran as strikes continue to disrupt vital shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, says former Ambassador of the United States to Saudi Arabia, Joseph Westphal.


So what's so different about the Saudis' needs for a nuclear programme and the Iranians' needs for one? This is a case of double standards. I would say that it behoves the US to be even-handed. What's sauce for the goose is also sauce for the gander. — © Mark Alexander

Saudi Arabia vs. UAE: How the Iran War Deepened This Gulf Rivalry | Mapped Out

July 25, 2026 | Saudi Arabia and the US have announced a nuclear deal that has rocked the Gulf. The landmark agreement would establish a civilian nuclear program in Saudi Arabia with the help of US companies. Critics fear it could lead to Saudi Arabia developing nuclear weapons or even set off a nuclear arms race in the Gulf.

This deal is likely to be a new layer of a deep-seated and bitter rivalry in the Gulf, between Saudi Arabia and the UAE. The UAE already has a nuclear deal with the US, albeit a less extensive one.

The news of this controversial deal follows attacks from Iran on the Gulf in the context of the US-Israeli war on Iran. This war has transformed the Gulf and sharpened the Saudi-UAE rivalry further.

The countries' leaders Mohammed bin Salman (MbS) of Saudi Arabia and Mohammed bin Zayed (MbZ) of the UAE used to be bros, but their race to dominate the Gulf has soured the relationship.

From trying to build the biggest skyscraper like Burh Khalifa and Jeddah Tower, to buying up football clubs like Manchester City and Newcastle United, Saudi Arabia and the UAE will compete on anything. But this competition is fuelling conflicts in Sudan and Yemen with devastating human consequences.

As the US withdraws from its role as security guarantor in the region, Saudi Arabia and the UAE are scrambling to align themselves with new partners. The UAE is particularly working with Israel and might even be building and sharing military facilities with them in the Horn of Africa, particularly in Somaliland, a breakaway region of Somalia.

Can these neighbors find any common ground — or might this rivalry and the possible new nuclear deal split the Middle East even more?

Iran Threatens to Attack UK Bases Used by US Forces - Risking Wider War | BBC News

July 23, 2026 | Iran has threatened to attack British bases being used by the US to launch operations against Iran. It accused the UK of being an "accomplice" of the US military and said that UK bases used by US forces were “legitimate targets”.

The UK has allowed the US to launch "defensive" operations from British bases hosting American personnel and aircraft, while refusing to cooperate in offensive operations against Iran. In response to Iran’s comments, the UK government said it "stands ready 24/7 to defend itself". It followed a 12th consecutive night of US strikes against targets in Iran, with the ceasefire that had been agreed between the two countries apparently abandoned.

In March 2026, shortly after the start of the US-Israel led war against Iran, the UK gave the US permission to use British bases, including RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire and Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean, to target Iranian military infrastructure used to attack Gulf countries and vessels in the Strait of Hormuz.

The escalating war, and continuing block on commercial shipping through the strait of Hormuz, has led to a new surge in global oil prices, which have again reached more than $100 per barrel.
