Missile and drone strikes are now hitting U.S. allies and civilian areas across the Middle East as the conflict between the United States, Israel, and Iran spreads beyond its initial targets.

The United States and Israel launched coordinated military strikes on Iran, prompting immediate missile retaliation from Tehran. Regional tensions are escalating as both sides signal readiness for further action.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, formerly Prince Andrew, has been arrested in the United Kingdom on suspicion of misconduct in public office amid a renewed investigation linked to his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. Authorities say the probe is ongoing.

The U.S. military is reportedly prepared to strike Iran as early as this weekend, though President Donald Trump has not made a final decision. Military assets have been positioned in the region as diplomatic talks continue.
