Germany Withdraws Forces from Middle East Amid Escalating Conflict
A German military spokesperson told Reuters on Friday that Germany has withdrawn additional forces from the Middle East.
The spokesperson indicated that soldiers deployed as part of the UNIFIL mission in Lebanon are being pulled back. This follows the German army's previous significant reduction of its presence in the Kurdistan Region.
The RND news network reported that German forces stationed in Bahrain have returned to Germany, and preparations for withdrawal from Kuwait have also begun.
The RND report also stated that German soldiers and embassy personnel in Baghdad are being relocated to Jordan.
Currently, approximately 500 German soldiers are deployed in the region, most of whom are stationed in Iraq and Jordan.

Six Injured in Iranian Attack on Northern Kuwait Residential Area
The United States and Iran have received a two-stage plan to end hostilities, featuring an immediate ceasefire and a comprehensive settlement, according to Reuters and officials. Pakistan’s army chief, Field Marshal Asim Munir, coordinated talks with U.S. and Iranian leaders. The Islamabad Accord framework includes potential reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and 15–20 days for final negotiations. Iran has not committed to the proposal and rejected temporary reopening deadlines. Military operations continue in the region, with emergency personnel responding to strikes in Tehran and Haifa. The agreement is expected to cover nuclear restrictions, sanctions relief, and regional security arrangements. U.S. President Donald Trump has issued warnings of further strikes if Iran does not comply.
Iran executed a man identified as Ali Fahim after convicting him of acting on behalf of the United States and Israel during anti-government protests earlier this year, the judiciary said. Authorities described him as involved in “foreign-instigated riots” that began in December and escalated nationwide. Official figures put the death toll from the unrest at over 3,000, while a U.S.-based group reported more than 7,000 fatalities. The execution comes amid ongoing conflict involving Iran, Israel, and the United States.
Iran’s IRGC said its intelligence chief, Maj. Gen. Seyyed Majid Khademi, was killed in an attack it attributed to U.S. and Israeli involvement. The announcement comes amid escalating regional hostilities, including Israeli strikes in Tehran, Iranian missile attacks on Israel, and broader العسكري activity affecting Gulf states and Lebanon. Officials have issued warnings of further escalation, while oil prices rose in response to the ongoing conflicts.
Iran’s First Vice President Mohammad Reza Aref condemned a reported strike on Sharif University, calling it a “symbol of Trump’s madness and ignorance,” according to BBC Persian. He said the use of “bunker-buster bombs” showed a failure to understand that Iran’s scientific capabilities cannot be destroyed by military force.
Aref said parts of the university were hit and sustained damage. The claims could not be independently verified, and there was no immediate U.S. comment.
Parts of Sharif University were targeted by a missile attack last night, and the facility sustained damage.

Five Airstrikes Target PMF Positions in Iraq's Saladin Province
Five airstrikes targeted PMF positions in Iraq’s Saladin Governorate within 24 hours, including a headquarters near Khurmatu, according to a security source. Additional strikes hit locations in Baiji and Haliwa Airport, while a missile aimed at Balad Airbase struck a civilian home, injuring five people. Similar attacks have recently targeted PMF units in Nineveh and Kirkuk. The incidents occur amid broader regional escalation involving U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran and Iranian missile attacks on Israel and Gulf states.
Missile strikes targeted a gas regulator station and a residential area in Tehran, causing casualties and damage, according to Iranian officials. Concurrently, Iran launched missiles toward Haifa and Tel Aviv, with Israeli authorities reporting interceptions and multiple impact sites. Earlier bombardments affected several Iranian cities, including areas around Sharif University. Diplomatic efforts involving U.S., Iranian, and regional intermediaries continue, with discussions focusing on a potential 45-day ceasefire, though prospects for an immediate agreement remain uncertain.
Iran’s Fars News Agency reported on Monday that 15 vessels successfully passed through the Strait of Hormuz over the past 24 hours, following authorization from Iranian authorities.
According to the agency, the ships were granted permission to transit the strategic waterway after coordinating with Iran, underscoring Tehran’s continued control over maritime access in the area.
The Israeli military announced on Monday that it has killed a senior official affiliated with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) at an oil-related facility in Tehran, describing the strike as a significant blow to Iran’s security apparatus.
