Thrilled to have picked a Kennedy Award for our coverage of the War in Ukraine. I am beyond lucky to work with my friends & the best journos in the business. Covering one of the most challenging and complex events to have happened in our lifetime. @GreenhalghSarah @hughwhitfeld

Iran is refusing to back down after Donald Trump issued his 48-hour ultimatum. Iran has just hours left to reopen the Strait of Hormuz or the US says it will "obliterate" its energy grid. Tehran says if that happens, not only will it retaliate - it will close the vital shipping route indefinitely.

The conflict in the Middle East shows no sign of ending. Iran has unleashed a fresh onslaught of drones and missiles, while Donald Trump calls on US allies to help escort oil tankers through the Strait of Hormuz.

The conflict in the Middle East could be over in weeks, according to US officials, as a new war of words fires up over the Strait of Hormuz and there's a deepening mystery tonight over the whereabouts of Iran's new supreme leader.

War in the Middle East could enter a dangerous new phase, with the United States close to sending in ground troops. Donald Trump hasn't given the green light yet, but reinforcements are expected to arrive in the region within weeks, marking a significant escalation.

The US military is racing to rescue its own in the Middle East tonight. A large Air Force jet went down over Iraq, and there's no word yet on the crew's fate.

Up to 150 U.S. troops have been wounded so far in the war with Iran, two people familiar with the matter told Reuters.

Australian families are tonight being warned to get out of the Middle East while they still can, as the threat of a US strike on Iran intensifies. Donald Trump has imposed more sanctions on Tehran, and last-ditch nuclear talks are due to start in the coming hours.

Facing sliding poll numbers and a volatile political climate, Donald Trump delivered the longest-ever State of the Union address in a bid to regain momentum ahead of this year’s midterm elections, striking rare notes of unity while also branding his opponents “crazy” and reaffirming his America First agenda.
