Tesla CEO Elon Musk holds a mobile phone as he arrives to attend a state banquet with U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, China, May 14, 2026. Evan Vucci | Reuters Iran will treat all of Elon Musk’s companies in the Middle East, including SpaceX’s Starlink internet service, as military targets as it retaliates against the U.S., Iranian state media outlet Fars reported Thursday. Iran is targeting “all interests related to economic holdings managed by Elon Musk in West Asia,” including a regional Starlink ground station, according to a translated post on Fars’ Telegram page.

Iran asserts the U.S. has committed war crimes against it with the support of Musk-related companies, Fars reported, citing an “informed source.” “The Islamic Republic of Iran reserves the right to attack all facilities related to [Musk]-managed holdings in the region and occupied …

Prince William visits a local mental health group in Norfolk (Image: Getty) The Prince of Wales heard how a local mental health charity has been a lifeline to rural communities in Norfolk, with one man telling him he would be unlikely to be here today if it weren’t for the support Mind had offered him. On a visit to Norfolk and Waveney Mind at Anmer Social Club’s Community Hall, situated on the King’s Sandringham estate on Thursday morning, William heard how the charity is delivering vital mental health support to local people, including those who work on the royal estate. “Mind have become a sort of family,” a 71-year-old man told William. “It’s good to be able to talk… and deal with real people, caring people, people you trust.” The community groups provided by the mental health charity are located within touching distance from their homes and provide a safe, non-judgemental space where attendees can build supportive relationships and help navigate difficult periods of their life.

Politics Home Article | John Healey Resigns As Defence Secretary Over Military Spending Plans

Published by Sam Flores

(Alamy) 3 min read1 hr John Healey has resigned as defence secretary warning that Keir Starmer’s military spending plans fall way short. Healey announced his resignation on Thursday, saying he had been “left with no other option” but to quit having been presented with details of how much additional money the government was planning to spend on defence. He singled out the Treasury for criticism, saying it was “unwilling” to “commit the resources that the nation needs to defend the country at this time of rising threats”. Following Healey’s resignation, Times Radio also reported that defence minister Al Carns has said the DIP is “not fit for purpose” and Starmer has “got to sort this out”. Healey is considered a Starmer loyalist and his resignation will be seen as a major blow to the Prime Minister. His letter said that Starmer had been “unable” to commit the necessary funding, raising fresh questions about his authority. The PM is fighting to stay in power amid the prospect of leadership challenges from Andy Bunham and Wes Streeting. The government is expected to …

Aston Martin expect reality check in Spain after first point of 2026

Published by Sam Flores

BARCELONA, June 11 : Aston Martin expect a tough reality check in Spain this weekend after Fernando Alonso brought the struggling Silverstone-based team their first point of the Formula One season in Monaco last Sunday.  The Spaniard finished 11th on track in the Mediterranean principality but was promoted into the scoring positions after a penalty dropped Cadillac’s Sergio Perez from 10th, denying the Mexican what would have been a breakthrough first point for the F1 newcomers.  The point lifted Honda-powered Aston Martin off the bottom of the constructors’ standings after the five previous races had been peppered with retirements and produced a highest finish of 15th. Chief trackside officer Mike Krack said ahead of the Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix that Monaco had still been a tough weekend with little to celebrate other than some good fortune, and round seven would likely be another struggle. “On paper, for Barcelona, it will be tough. It will be very tough,” he told reporters. “In Barcelona, there is no place to hide. After Barcelona, normally, when you bring upgrades you …
