The UK is in shock after an Iran-linked Islamist group claimed
yet another attack on Jews in London.

In the wake of the Golders Green stabbing attack, national
security editor Rozina Sabur looks at what we know about the
shadowy online group known as Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamia
(HAYI) and its links to the Iranian regime.

Plus, as Donald Trump weighs whether to take further military
action against Iran or in the Strait of Hormuz, Samuel Olsen,
chief analyst at risk and intelligence firm Sibylline, explains
that the conflict has further indebted the US to China. Why?
Beijing’s near-total dominance of the supply chain of rare earths
and critical minerals, which every bit of modern military kit
requires. Trump’s upcoming visit to Beijing to meet Xi Jinping is
likely to centre on this issue - as well as Taiwan.

Elsewhere, Venetia Rainey and Sophia Yan analyse what we learned
from Secretary of Defence Pete Hegseth’s first under-oath
testimony on the war and why the ceasefire seems to be holding
everywhere apart from Iraq.
