Iran has issued a formal warning of full-scale retaliation as US military deployments in the Middle East intensify. Tehran’s leadership has placed defense forces on heightened alert, preparing for the possibility of extreme scenarios. A senior Iranian official declared that any attack whether “limited”, “surgical” or “kinetic”, would be treated as an all-out war, and the response would be unprecedented and severe. This statement comes amid rising regional tensions following US-backed Israeli operations in June. In response, the United States has moved major naval assets, including the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln with escorting destroyers, signaling a strategic posture of deterrence. President Trump confirmed the deployment, stating the fleet is positioned “just in case”, leaving the door open for potential military action if Iran escalates. WATCH

U.S. President Donald Trump has issued one of his strongest warnings yet to Hamas, declaring that failure to disarm under the Gaza ceasefire framework could lead to their complete disappearance. Speaking in connection with the unveiling of the Gaza “Board of Peace” at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Trump positioned the initiative as a decisive step toward ending the long-running conflict. The Gaza Board of Peace was formally introduced with a focus on global peacekeeping, post-war governance and humanitarian stability. Trump confirmed that the framework aligns with the UN and is rooted in a plan adopted by the U.N. Security Council in October. The founding charter was signed in the presence of key members, with Trump describing his role as chairman as an “enormous honour”. WATCH

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s decision to join President Donald Trump’s Board of Peace signals more than a diplomatic gesture. It marks a strategic shift in how Gaza’s future and global conflict governance may be shaped outside traditional international institutions. Backed by Washington and aligned with Trump’s broader vision, the new body challenges the authority of the United Nations and introduces a leader-driven model of conflict management. Supporters see speed and control, while critics warn of power consolidation and pay-to-play diplomacy.
