The U.S. military has announced it will create a 20-member task force to find ways to disrupt land routes into Iran that it says are used for shipments of weapons and illicit materials.

Israel is not finished with Iran, its defense minister said Sunday, as he renewed charges that Tehran is pursuing nuclear weapons, which the Islamic republic has long denied.

Israel's president announced he would task Gadi Eisenkot with forming the next government following last week's election, in what Netanyahu's rivals see as a first step to remove the country's longest-serving prime minister.

Washington is offering a $20 million reward "and possible relocation" for information about Iran's nuclear program, the U.S. military said, as President Donald Trump reiterated Tehran wants to make a deal to end the war.

Iran said Saturday its military has grown "stronger" since the outset of its war with the United States, which has offered a $20 million reward for information about Tehran's nuclear program.

Israel's opposition said Friday it was making headway in its bid to oust Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, as one of its leaders lifted his veto on demands that ultra-Orthodox Jews serve in the military, opening the door to a once improbable alliance with the community.

Officials across Europe reported more bomb threats against multiple flights on Friday, following a string of hoaxes that have caused flight diversions this week.

No suspicious items were found and no one was injured, but the threats have raised concern because they came as Europe digests a slew of other recent disruptions — including attacks on supermarket refrigeration systems and drone incursions.

The Saudi-led coalition fighting Yemen's Houthis said on Friday it had intercepted and destroyed a drone in the region of Mecca, Islam's holiest city, following repeated attacks by the pro-Iranian group on the kingdom.

"Interception and destruction of a drone in the Mecca region," Turki al-Malki, the coalition's spokesman wrote on social media, without elaborating on the source of the attack.

Ukraine's allies are working for a "just and sustainable" end to the war ahead of U.S.-mediated talks next week in Abu Dhabi, NATO said Friday, after U.S. President Donald Trump touted a deal with Russia involving "all of Europe".

Talks in Brussels on Thursday involving NATO, U.S., Ukrainian and European officials "built on productive discussions in Miami and Oslo and sought to advance a just and sustainable end to the war in Ukraine", an alliance spokeswoman said.

The world is on track for 2026 to be the second-hottest year on record, with global temperatures virtually certain to exceed 1.5C above pre-industrial levels, the EU's climate monitor said Friday.

This year also has a "20 percent chance of tying or exceeding" 2024 as the warmest ever seen, the Copernicus Climate Change Service said in a monthly bulletin.
