Former Trump heavyweight, Steve Bannon is on trial in the U.S. for refusing to cooperate with the committee investigating the January 6 attack on the Capitol

Jury selection for the court appearance has begun.

Bannon faces two counts of contempt of Congress after refusing to testify or provide relevant documents about his involvement in Trump’s presidential defeat.

The committee also wants to question the former advisor about his involvement in organising protests which led to the January 6 attack.

There has been a particular interest in Bannon’s communications with Trump in the days before the riot, and the “war room” meetings held at a hotel near the White House.

Meanwhile, in a popular podcast, he warned on January 5 that “all hell” was going to break loose the following day.

Bannon was first requested to appear in front of the committee in September 2021, and he was held in contempt of Congress a month later.

Trump claims Iran’s military largely neutralized; tensions rise with attacks threatening air travel and oil shipping.

President Trump says Iran’s military capability has been largely neutralised, including its navy and air force, as the conflict in the Middle East intensifies. Iranian attacks have threatened commercial air travel and oil shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, raising fears of wider economic fallout.

The U.S. Embassy in Riyadh has faced two attacks, while Gulf states worked to intercept further Iranian strikes. Officials report six U.S. troops killed and more than 700 deaths inside Iran as the exchange of fire escalates.

With global markets watching closely, the region remains on edge as military and diplomatic tensions show no signs of easing.
