In the Middle East President Trump says Iran has now gone too far and will “pay the price” after missile and drone strikes on U.S. bases in Jordan, Kuwait, and Bahrain. Iran said it would reassess diplomatic engagement with Washington, while Gulf neighbors and Jordan activated air defenses. No immediate damage to the bases was reported. In Britain Keir Starmer condemned the violence in Belfast as shocking and unacceptable after overnight unrest linked to protests over a man charged with attempted murder. Fires broke out across the city, including a bus set alight and cars torched, and residents were evacuated as firefighters dealt with dozens of incidents. Police are investigating, and Starmer said those responsible, and anyone who encouraged the disorder, will face the full force of the law. Separately, the House of Lords has approved regulations to double the fee local authorities pay to process Clean Air Zone transactions, from £2 to £4, starting in September 2026. Ministers say it is about cost recovery, critics call it another stealth tax on motorists, and the charging period has now been extended to 2031. In business Anant Ambani, the Reliance executive director and heir to one of Asia’s richest families, is linked to a reported $100 million transfer to a Texas startup in which Donald Trump Jr. secretly held a stake. The deal came four months after Trump Jr. was seen dancing with Ambani in India. In the U.S. Rep. Nancy Mace has lost South Carolina’s Republican governor primary by a wide margin, ending a rise that once made her look like a serious force in the party. Former aides and allies describe a run marked by opportunism, attention-seeking, and repeated clashes with people who might have been useful if she’d been less committed to the performance of politics. In tech and courts Elon Musk’s xAI and SpaceX are facing a Mississippi lawsuit from residents who say a power plant serving nearby data centers has brought relentless noise and vibrations to their area. The federal case, filed in Oxford, could cover more than 10,000 people. Separately, Airbus and Quantum Systems say they are exploring drone interceptors for military helicopters, starting with the H145M.
