In a world beset by conflicts and political friction, tensions continue to escalate between Iran and Israel. Iran's Revolutionary Guards have issued a stark warning to Israel against retaliating for a recent missile attack, even as Israel expands its offensive against Hezbollah in Lebanon.

The humanitarian situation in Gaza worsens as Israeli airstrikes leave 11 Palestinians dead, alongside a mounting blockade that exacerbates shortages of essentials. Moreover, trade ties falter with reports that Israel has ceased processing food import requests to Gaza, impacting local supplies.

Global political dynamics are also under strain with Ukraine appealing for international assistance for landmine clearance in a heavily mined nation, while Indian-Canadian diplomatic relations face challenges over crime links. Meanwhile, EU leaders deliberate on migration and geopolitical threats in Brussels.
