    Portugal Probes US Use of Lajes Base in Iran War

    Portuguese prosecutors have opened an investigation into the legality of the government's authorization of US use of Lajes Air Base in the Azores during the Iran conflict. The probe follows a complaint by the opposition Left Bloc, which argued that allowing US transit through the base violated international law. Portugal authorized several US flights through Lajes after hostilities began, with Foreign Minister Paulo Rangel stating that the decision complied with international law and was granted after Washington said any operation would be defensive, necessary, and proportionate.

    Zelenskyy Asks Trump to Sanction Russian, Chinese Starlink Rival

    Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has repeatedly asked U.S. President Donald Trump to impose sanctions on Russian and Chinese companies involved in developing 'Rassvet', a satellite system that could compete with SpaceX's Starlink and potentially have military applications. Zelensky believes Russia accelerated work on Rassvet after Starlink limited Russian military use of its terminals. He warned that the system could increase the accuracy of Russian strikes and expand drone usage. Experts suggest the system may not match Starlink's capabilities but could still have military significance.
