Washington Scales Back Regional Footprint Amid Iranian Warnings

Empty airspace over Iran, during a temporary closure of the country's airspace amid concerns about possible military action between the United States and Iran The United States has begun precautionary drawdowns at several military bases across the Middle East after Iranian officials warned neighbouring countries that American facilities could be targeted in the event of a wider conflict.

Storm Goretti Slams Northern Europe, Leaving Thousands Without Power

Storm Goretti swept across northern Europe on Friday, unleashing destructive winds, heavy snowfall, and bitter cold that caused widespread power outages and brought major transport routes to a halt. The storm carved a path from the UK across France and into Germany, prompting top‑tier weather warnings and large‑scale emergency responses.

In France, hundreds of thousands of homes were left without electricity as hurricane‑force gusts battered coastal regions. Britain faced similar turmoil, with tens of thousands of households still in the dark and rail services suspended in the southwest under the highest wind alert issued by national forecasters.

Air travel was heavily disrupted, with dozens of flights cancelled at major airports and delays spreading across the continent. Schools in parts of Scotland and northern France closed as crews worked to clear snow‑choked roads and restore essential services.

Authorities urged residents to stay indoors, warning that a combination of fierce winds, deep snow, and freezing temperatures would continue to make travel dangerous. As Storm Goretti pushes farther east, emergency teams remain on high alert for further disruption.
