NewsdayAvailable for 21 days
President Trump has warned Iran not to attack a key Qatari liquefied natural gas complex at Ras Laffan again. The complex is the largest gas hub. That strike followed an Israeli attack on a major Iranian gas field in the Gulf, South Pars. We look at the recent assassinations of key leaders in Iran and the current power dynamics at the top of the Islamic Republic. In Lebanon we look at the hard decisions being made by parents who try to secure the safety of their children in the current crisis. And the Senegalese government has called for an independent international investigation into what it calls "suspected corruption" at African football's governing body after it stripped Senegal of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations title and awarded it to Morocco.
