The U.S. will only be allowed to use selected British bases for defensive raids on Tehran’s missile stores and launchers after Iran launches retaliatory strikes across the Middle East, Starmer said. The British PM addressed a packed House of Commons on Monday afternoon after being publicly rebuked by the U.S. president for not allowing the U.S. to use British bases to target Iran during its initial wave of attacks. Trump told the Telegraph newspaper that he was “very disappointed” that Starmer had hindered the use of the joint Diego Garcia base in the Chagos Islands, and said the PM “took…
Radev, a former air force commander who served two presidential terms, the most recent of which he ended early in January, has cast himself as an opponent of the country’s entrenched mafia, which is intimately linked to top politicians. He has, however, faced criticism from pro-Western rivals over positions they say were sympathetic to Moscow, particularly on military aid to Ukraine. Progressive Bulgaria brings together three center-left formations — the Political Movement Social Democrats, the Social Democratic Party and the Our People Movement. The bloc is closely associated with Radev but is formally co-led by his allies: Galab Donev, a…
A Shahed-type unmanned aerial vehicle hit Britain’s Royal Air Force base at Akrotiri in Cyprus just after midnight Monday, while more drone strikes targeting the base were successfully intercepted during the day. While the source of the drone strike is so far unconfirmed, with local media saying it probably came from Lebanon, a senior commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has threatened intensified missile strikes on Cyprus, alleging an increased U.S. military presence on the island. Prime Minister Keir Starmer said on Monday: “Our bases in Cyprus are not being used by U.S. bombers … The security of our…
Published on 02/03/2026 – 21:01 GMT+1 The Astara Border Crossing between Iran and Azerbaijan has seen increased traffic over the last few days by foreign nations, as many continue to seek an exit from Tehran amid continued US and Israeli attacks.

As many as 500 Russian citizens are rumoured to have crossed into Azerbaijan as part of the new initiative, with eyewitnesses reporting…

The U.S. pulled its warplanes from Spanish bases after Madrid prohibited their use against Iran, Spanish Defense Minister Margarita Robles said today. Missions involving the bases must “operate within the framework of international law,” the minister said during a press conference at the Armilla Air Base, adding that military installations on Spanish territory would be prohibited from “providing support except if it is necessary from a humanitarian perspective.” Flight tracking website FlightRadar24 recorded over a dozen U.S. aircraft — among them, several Boeing KC-135 aerial refueling tankers — leaving the Morón de la Frontera and Rota airbases this weekend, with…
That ruptured pipeline has now become even more politically sensitive thanks to the supply crisis in the Persian Gulf. Orbán is a close ally of Donald Trump, and the Iran war is a rare point of dissonance between him and the U.S. president. Still, the main target of Orbán’s attacks is not Washington but the domestic opposition, which he claims put Hungary in a vulnerable position by siding with the EU and Ukraine rather than fighting to preserve Russian oil supplies. Orbán and his ruling Fidesz party are also playing up alleged security threats from the war in the Middle…

In America, President Donald Trump has come under fire for his ties to the industry. In April last year the U.S. disbanded a Department for Justice unit tasked with investigating crypto-related fraud. In Britain, Nigel Farage’s right-wing Reform UK became the first major British political party to accept crypto donations. The British government is considering a ban on political donations through crypto. But cryptocurrency exchanges will not be regulated by the country’s Financial Conduct Authority until 2027. Much of Britain’s concern about crypto comes from Russia’s recent embrace of the currency as an alternate means of financing its war economy following the invasion…
