  Speaker 1: Regional tensions are escalating as Pakistan has delivered a strong
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: warning from Saudi Arabia to Iran, urging Tehran to rein
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: in its Houthi allies. This comes in the wake of
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: stepped-up Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia, which wounded 73 people
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: and pose a significant threat to global energy supplies. According
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: to Saudi, Pakistani and Iranian sources, the Houthis struck an
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: airbase and oil infrastructure within the kingdom. Pakistan's involvement is
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: seen as significant, leveraging its defence pacts with Saudi Arabia
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: and Turkey, with Pakistani officials stating that aggression against one
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: would be considered aggression against all three nations. While Iran
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: officially denies controlling the Houthis, other sources suggest Tehran has
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: provided substantial support, including funding, weapons and coordination. Meanwhile, in
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: the United States, President Donald Trump has issued a direct
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: warning to Iran concerning its nuclear programme. Trump stated the
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: US could launch a major strike against Iran's Pickaxe Mountain
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: nuclear complex, following US intelligence detecting renewed activity and construction
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: at the deeply buried site. He advised Iran not to
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: get cute, emphasising that the US would have to hit
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: them very hard. Satellite imagery analysis corroborates increased construction and
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: fortification at the facility, to which Iran has denied access
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: to IAEA inspectors. Adding to concerns about Iran's nuclear trajectory,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: three senior non-Israeli security officials report that intelligence assessments indicate
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: some senior commanders within the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps might
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: pursue nuclear weapons independently. This scenario could unfold without the
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Supreme Leader's approval if they perceive the regime to be
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: on the verge of collapse. From Lebanon, a senior Lebanese
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: official has taken a strong stance, describing Hezbollah as Lebanon's cancer.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: This official appealed to Israel, presenting the current moment as
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: potentially the last chance for peace, and urging Israel to
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: provide Lebanon with the necessary oxygen to disarm the group,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: suggesting that while it would take time, it is a
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: possible outcome. In developments concerning Gaza's future, Somaliland has indicated
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: its willingness to contribute up to 2,000 soldiers to the
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: planned international stabilisation force for the region. Somaliland President Abdurrahman
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: Mohamed Abdullahi stated that his nation is awaiting a formal
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: request from either the United States or Israel for this deployment.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: This offer follows Israel's recent formal recognition of Somaliland. Operationally,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: the IDF and Shin Bet have successfully destroyed three Hamas
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: weapons depots located across the Gaza Strip. These depots were
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: found to contain weapons, explosives and anti-tank missiles. marking a
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: significant blow to the group's armament capabilities. Internally within the US,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: private discussions among top White House advisers, including Vice President J.D.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, have reportedly warned
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: President Donald Trump that the ongoing conflict with Iran could
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: potentially extend through the remainder of his term, which concludes
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: in January 2029. This assessment, as reported by the Wall
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Street Journal, stands in contrast to President Trump's public statements
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: which have suggested the war would end shortly after the
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: US mid-term elections. On the diplomatic front, former US official
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Elliot Abrams commented on Israel's retaliatory measures against Britain. He
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: suggested that Israel's actions, such as closing the British consulate
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: in East Jerusalem and excluding Britain from related diplomatic and
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: security activities, have likely succeeded in diminishing London's ability to
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: play a significant global role. These measures were a response
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: to Britain's ban on imports from Israeli settlements, and Abrams
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: was notably critical of British Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband's statements
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: on the matter. In southern Lebanon, an IDF drone reportedly
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: carried out an attack, delivering explosives to a building in
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Kfar Bnei Hayan, which detonated shortly after the drone departed. Finally,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: on the economic front, all six of Israel's desalination plants
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: have resumed normal operations. They had been temporarily shut down
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: due to unusual sea turbidity and algal blooms, but the
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: Water Authority has confirmed that public water supply is continuing
• 4:25
