  1. US deploys forces to reopen Strait of Hormuz

    President Trump announced the United States will send destroyers, aircraft, and 15,000 troops to escort commercial vessels blocked in the Strait of Hormuz. Iran responded that any such intervention would constitute interference and breach the existing ceasefire arrangement. The move puts Washington and Tehran on a direct collision course over one of the world's most critical shipping lanes, through which roughly a fifth of global oil passes.

    "Iran warned that any foreign intervention in the strait would violate the terms of the truce."

  2. Flotilla detainee alleges torture in Israeli prison

    Saif Abukeshek, a Spanish-Palestinian activist detained after Israeli forces intercepted the Gaza-bound flotilla, says he has been subjected to torture while held in an Israeli prison. Abukeshek is among several flotilla participants taken into custody following the interception. The Spanish government has been notified of his detention. Israel has not publicly responded to the allegations.

    "The Spanish-Palestinian activist detained on the flotilla is alleging torture in the Israeli prison where he remains held."

  3. Trump threatens deeper US troop cuts in Germany

    Donald Trump said the United States will withdraw more than 5,000 troops from Germany, escalating a public dispute with Chancellor Friedrich Merz at a leaders' summit in Armenia. The announcement adds pressure on European NATO allies who rely on the US military presence for regional security. Merz has pushed back against Trump's posture toward Europe, and the exchange marks one of the sharpest public disagreements between the two leaders since Merz took office.

    "Trump says the US will pull 'much more than 5,000' American troops from Germany."

  4. US-Israel strikes on Iran enter second month

    Joint US and Israeli military operations against Iran have continued for roughly two months, with no clear resolution in sight. Tensions around the Strait of Hormuz are affecting regional shipping and neighbouring states. The Trump administration's approach has shifted repeatedly, leaving diplomatic channels uncertain. Iran's population bears the direct consequences of sustained strikes and economic pressure.

    "The war has settled into a stalemate at Hormuz after two months of erratic strategy."

  5. Iran offers 14-point peace framework to United States

    Iran has presented a phased proposal to the United States covering a ceasefire extension, troop withdrawals, and sanctions relief. The plan guarantees at least one additional month of ceasefire while broader terms are negotiated. The offer reflects Tehran's attempt to structure a diplomatic off-ramp from ongoing conflict and economic pressure. Affected civilian populations in Iran and the wider region stand to gain or lose depending on whether talks proceed.

    "Iran proposes a phased agreement that guarantees at least one more month of ceasefire."

  6. Journalists killed covering Israeli strikes in Lebanon

    Israeli military strikes in Lebanon have killed multiple journalists, including at least two who died when their vehicle was hit and caught fire. The deaths are part of a broader toll that has reached 2,659 people killed over two months of Israeli offensive operations. Press workers covering the conflict describe extreme danger with each assignment. The killings raise ongoing questions about the protection of journalists in active conflict zones.

    "You could see the car burning and the two bodies of those young men, burning alive."

  7. Andalusia votes on PP's reliance on Vox

    Andalusian voters went to the polls on 17 March 2026 to decide whether Juanma Moreno's Partido Popular government would need to continue relying on Vox for parliamentary support. The result will shape the balance of power in Spain's most populous region. A PP majority would free Moreno from dependence on the far-right party; a shortfall would leave the current arrangement intact or force new negotiations.

    "Andalusians are deciding whether the PP will continue to depend on Vox or not."

  8. Merz's Germany Rethinks Military Spending After Decades

    One year into Friedrich Merz's chancellorship, Germany is navigating a significant shift in defence policy, driven by pressure from both the United States and Russia. The move challenges a long-standing national reluctance to rearm, rooted in the country's 20th-century history. Meanwhile, the German public remains broadly dissatisfied with coalition governance and the pace of domestic reform.

    "Threats from the US and Russia are forcing Germany to overcome the greatest taboo in its history."

  9. Spain receives 130,000 regularisation requests in ten days

    Spain's government opened a regularisation window for undocumented immigrants and received 130,000 applications within the first ten days. The volume reflects the scale of people living and working in Spain without legal status. Applicants are seeking formal recognition that would allow them to remain, work, and access services without risk of deportation.

  10. Beijing tells firms to ignore US Iran sanctions

    China's Ministry of Commerce has directed five domestic energy companies to disregard US sanctions imposed over their trade with Iran. The order effectively shields the firms from compliance pressure and signals Beijing's continued resistance to Washington's unilateral economic measures. The move follows a pattern of Chinese counter-measures against American sanctions targeting its energy sector.
