Geopolitical Tensions & Conflicts

Israel-Iran Conflict:

The conflict between Israel and Iran has escalated, with both sides exchanging strikes for a fourth day. Israel claims full air superiority over Tehran and has reportedly attacked Iranian nuclear and military facilities. Iran, in response, has stated it is preparing to exit the Non-Proliferation Treaty and denies seeking weapons of mass destruction. There are ongoing concerns about potential radiological risks at Iran's Natanz facility. World leaders are discussing these tensions, including at the G7 summit.

Russia-Ukraine War:

The war continues, with Russia reportedly returning 1,200 bodies of fallen Ukrainian soldiers.

Gaza:

The humanitarian situation in Gaza remains dire, with the UN accusing Israel of "weaponizing food and aid" and reports of further deaths near aid distribution centers. The UN has also scaled back its global aid plan due to "deepest funding cuts ever."
