Washington is commemorating the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army with festivities Saturday — which also happens to be President Trump’s 79th birthday. The president earlier this week cast the event as an opportunity for the country “to show off a little bit.

Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says his country will strike "every site and every target of the ayatollah regime" in Iran.

RAF jets are being sent to the Middle East, Sir Keir Starmer has announced, after Iran threatened to target UK, French and US bases if the countries help stop strikes on Israel.The prime minister said further military assets are being deployed to provide “contingency support” across the region amid escalating hostilities between the two long-time foes.
