Asked if he thought the Australian forces were targeted by Iran, Albanese said, “It’s important that we recognise that the Iranian regime is continuing to engage in random attacks right across the Gulf region.”

This guy is known for posting rubbish to satisfy his hate for Israel and probably Christians. Unfortunately, their so-called revenge only managed to kill an old couple in their 70s.

Iran is just throwing missiles without precision and hitting everything like a child denied of cake. If Israel responds with the same blind tantrums, he'll be the first to open a thread and cry genocide.

One thing I hate in my life is hypocrisy. How could one be fasting and still be lying at the same time? Smh!

More than 200 Ukrainians in Middle East working on tackling drones, Zelenskyy tells MPs

Volodymyr Zelenskyy has been addressing MPs and peers in parliament, and spoke about the situation in the Middle East as well as the war in Ukraine.

The Ukrainian president said 201 Ukrainian anti-drone experts are already in the Middle East, and that there are a further 34 "ready to deploy".

Zelenskyy explained: "These are military experts, experts who know how to help, how to defend against drones.

"Our teams are already in the Emirates, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and on the way to Kuwait. We are working with several other countries. Agreements are already in place."

He said he sent these military experts "at the request of our partners, including the United States".


Russia and Iran using AI to 'kill cheaply'

Zelenskyy also went on to describe Iran and Russia as "brothers in hatred".

He warned that Iran and Russia are using AI to "kill cheaply over long distances".

The Ukrainian president says that it was his country that developed interceptor drones to take down Iranian-built Shaheed missiles, which Russia also uses.

He says they can intercept Shaheed drones for less than $10,000 - much cheaper than other ways of shooting them down.

FIFA appears to reject idea of Iran playing World Cup matches in Mexico rather than US
Football's governing body has appeared to downplay the prospect of Iran having its World Cup matches moved to Mexico.

The Iranian Football Federation said earlier today it is in talks to move its group stage matches to Mexico, and that the team would "certainly not travel" to the US.

It comes after Donald Trump said last week it might not be "appropriate" for the team to participate at the World Cup, which is hosted by the US, Mexico and Canada this summer.

Most matches will be in the US.

But a FIFA spokesperson said:

"FIFA is in regular contact with all participating member associations, including Iran, to discuss planning for the FIFA World Cup 2026.

"FIFA is looking forward to all participating teams competing as per the match schedule announced on December 6, 2025."

IRGC warns of ‘bloodlust’ after Soleimani’s killing
We have more from the IRGC’s statement about the killing of Basij force commander Gholamreza Soleimani.

“We warn the evil and terrorist murderers of this high-ranking martyr that the Basij will never abandon the bloodlust of the martyred leader, martyred commanders, and various members of the people’s martyrs,” the IRGC said.

Instead, their deaths will “double the will of the heroic Iranian nation and all the Basij fighters to continue the path of resistance”, the group concluded.

Iran’s FM applauds resignation of top US counterterror official
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has reacted to the resignation of the director of the US’s National Counterterrorism Centre Joe Kent.

“More members of the international community should follow suit,” he added. The “wave of global repercussions has only begun and will hit all – regardless of wealth, faith, or race. Our foe is one.”

Iran’s IRGC confirms killing of Basij force commander: State media
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has confirmed the death of Basij force commander Gholamreza Soleimani.

In a statement carried by Iran’s semiofficial Tasnim news agency, the IRGC said Soleimani was killed in an “attack by the American-Zionist enemy”.

Soleimani, who led the Basij for the past six years and oversaw internal security operations, “played a strategic and unparalleled role in updating the Basij’s popular and jihadi structure, developing constructive movements, eliminating deprivation, and providing assistance to the oppressed and vulnerable groups,” the IRGC continued.

“This cowardly assassination demonstrates the importance and role of the Basij in the all-out battle against the American terrorist army and the Zionist regime and their mercenaries, especially in the recent war.”

France ready to join Hormuz ship escorts once situation is 'calmer' - Macron


The French cabinet sits around a large oval table with President Emmanuel Macron at the head

Speaking at a defence and national security cabinet about the situation in Iran and in the Middle East a little earlier - before Trump's latest remarks - French President Emmanuel Macron said that France is ready to participate in an escort mission for tankers in the Strait of Hormuz once the situation is "calmer".


Addressing his ministers at the opening of the meeting, he repeated that France is not part of the conflict and said that "France will never participate in operations to open or liberate the Strait of Hormuz in the current context".

"However, once the situation will be calmer—and we deliberately use that term broadly—and that the core of the bombing will have ceased, we will be ready, along with other nations, to assume responsibility for an escort system," he added.

The French president underlined that "this requires a comprehensive political, technical, and operational undertaking, involving all stakeholders in maritime transport and insurers".


Macron said discussions with India, several other European and regional partners have already begun.

Macron also said it "must be entirely separate from the ongoing war operations and bombings".

"France has a simple and clear responsibility in the region: to protect our citizens and our interests, to be a reliable partner for everyone, and to work towards de-escalation and stability. It is within this framework that we wish to move forward," he said.

Iranians at the border react to reports of Larijani's death

Iranians crossing the border told us they’ve heard news filtering through about the latest of their leaders Israel claims has been killed.

"I’m celebrating, I’m happy" one man said, hopeful the death of Ali Larijani would bring the downfall of the regime a step closer.

"It’s very important. He’s the main leader of Iran. He was very sly and very smart - a very smart man but not for good."

A 38-year-old pharmaceutical company manager said she was messaged by a friend as she left Iran and was pleased with the news.

"We had a little bit of hope in him because he’s not that extreme in comparison with others but one by one they are going to be killed. We are already in a big disaster so let them get killed."


"I’m so happy he is dead" another lady told us, clearly angry. "I want the world to understand what killers the Mullahs [Iran's clerical leadership] are."

The 68-year-old businesswoman encouraged the US and Israelis to go further. "They have to destroy the whole regime, the judiciary, the Basij [a militia controlled by the IRGC] and the political leadership."

But there’s two-way traffic across this border and some of those heading back to Iran hold different views.

One family said they didn’t believe the reports.

"They’re lying. They say Larijani has been killed but in Iran everyone says that Benjamin Netanyahu has been killed."
