Houthis are now vital Iran allies. Can Tehran count on them? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Iranian officials and pundits laud the militia group’s gains as their own. At the same time, some media coverage appears designed to convince the Houthis to be better team players. Commentators in Iran’s hard-line media are expressing delight at the lightning offensive of Yemen’s Houthi militia, which has stepped into the Middle East wars by targeting Saudi Arabia and seizing effective control of a second global energy choke point. Fighters of Ansarullah, as the Houthis are formally known, are p
Hoping to deter US, Iran adopts aggressive military posture (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Nearly seven months after being attacked, an emboldened Iran is seeking to end the war on its terms. That means forcing U.S. bases out, lifting sanctions, and ending a U.S. naval blockade. The video on Iranian state television follows the length of a long underground chamber, lined on both sides by tables heaving with wreckage of American military drones.

The aim is to isolate the strategic peninsula. Ukrainian drones first targeted some 300 Russian air-defense assets in late June, then relentlessly struck military targets and electricity and water infrastructure across Crimea. Crimea has
‘There were many of them, and the grass was tall’: 505 nights under Russian fire (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Aug. 05, 2026, 2:40 p.m. ET | Sloviansk, Ukraine Of all his 505 nights under near-constant Russian fire, this was one of the toughest for Ukrainian infantryman Yurii Melnyk. It began with a routine Russian drone and artillery attack on his front-line post. “There was a guy, a young guy … he was very nervous and we tried to calm him down, but he was afraid that he would be killed in that place,” says the soft-spoken machine gunner, whose career making tombstone memorials was diverted by Russia’s
