Emmanuel Macron publicly criticised Donald Trump over his handling of the Iran war and remarks on NATO, warning that repeated doubts about U.S. commitment risk weakening the alliance. Speaking during a state visit to South Korea, Macron highlighted growing divisions among Western allies as the conflict intensifies. He also rejected calls for military action to secure the Strait of Hormuz, urging instead for a ceasefire and renewed negotiations. The exchange underscores a widening transatlantic rift, with European powers favouring diplomacy while Washington continues to signal further escalation.

NASA launched Artemis II, sending four astronauts on a historic 10-day mission around the Moon — the first crewed journey to lunar distance since 1972. The mission marks a major milestone in human spaceflight and a critical step toward future lunar landings. Flying aboard the Space Launch System and Orion spacecraft, the crew will test life support, communications, and deep-space operations before returning to Earth. Positioned as the foundation of a long-term human presence on the Moon, Artemis II signals a new era of international space exploration.

Iran launched fresh missile and drone attacks targeting Israel and Gulf states, signaling continued escalation despite Donald Trump claiming the war was nearing its final phase. Israeli air defenses intercepted multiple strikes, though several civilians were wounded, while Gulf countries reported shooting down incoming drones. Trump warned of intensified U.S. military action over the next two to three weeks, including potential strikes on Iran’s energy infrastructure if key demands are not met. With the Strait of Hormuz effectively closed and global markets reacting sharply, the conflict shows no clear path toward de-escalation.

U.S. President Donald Trump said the U.S.-Israeli military campaign against Iran, known as Operation Epic Fury, is nearing completion but warned that strikes will intensify over the next two to three weeks. Speaking from the White House, he described the operation as delivering “swift, decisive, overwhelming victories,” claiming Iran’s military capabilities had been severely weakened. Trump justified the campaign by alleging Iran had secretly attempted to rebuild its nuclear programme after earlier U.S. strikes, calling it an “intolerable threat.” He also warned of further escalation, including potential attacks on Iran’s energy infrastructure if no agreement is reached, signaling a possible expansion of the conflict.
