US-Israel-Iran War Latest Live News: Three in Four Yemen Households Go Hungry
Three out of four households in parts of Yemen are struggling to meet their basic food needs amid renewed fighting, displacement and disruption to food supplies, according to the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP). The agency said 74% of households in accessible government-held areas were unable to meet basic food needs, marking the highest level recorded this year.
The WFP said more than 149,000 people have been displaced in Yemen as fighting intensifies, while the country remains heavily dependent on imported food. Around 90% of Yemen’s food is imported, leaving markets and households vulnerable to disruptions in trade and supply routes. The agency has warned that its humanitarian response faces a funding gap of about $109 million.
US-Israel-Iran War Latest Live News: Iraq, Türkiye Start Oil And Gas Framework Talks
Iraq and Türkiye have begun negotiations on a framework agreement covering cooperation in oil, gas and energy, according to Iraq’s Oil Ministry and Iraqi state media reports. Officials met in Ankara to discuss a roadmap involving oil and gas infrastructure, petrochemical projects and energy trade.
The discussions come after Iraq and Türkiye agreed in August to maintain crude exports through the Iraq-Türkiye pipeline at a minimum rate of 750,000 barrels per day. The route to the Turkish port of Ceyhan has gained importance as disruptions linked to the Strait of Hormuz affect regional energy flows.
US-Israel-Iran War: Iranian Lawmaker Calls For UAE Occupation

Haji-Deligani also said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu should have been targeted during his visit to the UAE. These were the lawmaker’s remarks and do not represent an announcement of Iranian government policy or an indication that such an operation has been ordered.
US-Israel-Iran War Latest Live News: Trump Says Europe Will Release More Diesel
President Donald Trump said European countries had responded positively to his request to increase diesel supplies in global markets. Trump said Europe had substantial diesel stocks and that releasing additional supplies could help address fuel-supply concerns linked to the wider conflict.
The issue has become increasingly important as disruptions to energy flows have pushed up fuel prices. Reuters reported that European countries agreed to Trump’s request to release diesel reserves, while discussions have also focused on preventing further disruption to international fuel markets.
Trump Rules Out US Diesel Export Ban
Trump also said the United States would not impose a ban on diesel exports, after previously raising the possibility as part of efforts to contain domestic fuel prices. The administration has instead pressed European countries to release emergency stocks into the market.
The fuel issue has wider global implications because diesel is heavily used in transportation, agriculture, construction and shipping. Any significant disruption to supplies could affect fuel prices as well as the cost of moving goods and producing food.

Democratic senators have criticised Trump’s handling of the Iran conflict and questioned the deployment of additional US forces to the Middle East. Senator Chris Van Hollen called on Congress to cut off funding for the war while referring to reports that as many as 10,000 additional US troops could be sent to the region.
Van Hollen’s comments represent his own political position and come amid reports of a potential expansion of the US military presence in the Middle East. The reported deployment and its scale remain separate from his criticism of the administration’s policy.
