As Mexico prepares to host four World Cup matches here in June, it’s pulling out the stops on security, deploying thousands more officers and beefing up surveillance. But here in the state of Jalisco, more than 16,000 people are missing or believed to be murdered by drug cartels, individuals, as well as corrupt police officers.

What you’re seeing here are buried tunnel entrances at a nuclear facility in Iran. It’s one of the most important sites in the country for U.S. and Israeli forces. U.N. inspectors think that roughly half of Iran’s highly enriched uranium is buried here. And these three entrances are the only known ways to access it. If you think about nuclear sites in Iran, three main sites come to mind. They’re pretty well known: Fordo, Natanz and Isfahan. Natanz and Fordo, They were largely taken out in U.S. strikes last year. So I’ve been focusing on Isfahan. The uranium here is still relatively accessible. It’s actually a pretty large complex.

And that really created panic for those of us that live here.” “There’s no official, like, news report. The authorities have not really said much. We’re all just kind of in the dark.” “Get inside the house.” “I’ve owned a drone for several years for content creation purposes.

The New York Times visited two hospitals in Gaza to meet some of the sick and wounded awaiting medical evacuation. Two-year-old Umama was born with a serious heart condition. Her doctor says she needs urgent surgery, but that can only be done outside of Gaza, where more than two years of war have decimated the health system. Medical evacuations could extend to Umama and others with the reopening of a border crossing into Egypt expected soon. Once a main transit point, the Rafah crossing has been mostly closed since Israeli soldiers seized it in May 2024. Israel agreed to reopen it under an October cease-fire deal with Hamas, but delayed it until the remains of the last hostage held in Gaza were returned. Even people with urgent …
