The Winter Olympics is under threat, as Beijing reports its highest number of COVID-19 cases in 18 months

With only 5 days to go until the start of the event, an additional 20 cases have been reported in the capital and 34 in the “closed-loop” bubble, including 13 athletes or officials.

Some local areas have been forced to lock down and undergo widespread testing.

Athletes testing positive are made to isolate and will only be allowed to compete after getting two negative test results in 24 hours.

Despite covid cases surging in Beijing the Winter Olympics are set to go ahead as travel in and out of China remains severely restricted.

Games attendees arrive via charter flights and are made to stay in their bubble until they depart.

People must first receive a negative Covid-19 test before and upon arriving into the country, and undergo daily testing once in China.

54 new cases were reported nationwide on Sunday, according to China’s National Health Commission.

With around 2 million people to be tested in response to the current outbreak.

Since the first case of coronavirus was detected in 2019, China has maintained a zero-covid policy… locking down citizens and imposing restrictions in response to cases.

Whether these new reports will change their tactic is unknown, but with the Olympics set to begin this week the world will be watching China.

Iran buries nuclear site entrances amid rising tensions with the U.S.

Published

Satellite images reveal that Iran has buried all three tunnel entrances at its Isfahan nuclear complex. Analysts say the move mirrors defensive preparations taken before U.S. airstrikes devastated the facility last year, with no vehicle or personnel activity visible around the entrances.

The burial appears aimed at limiting damage from potential airstrikes and complicating any ground raid targeting enriched uranium stored in the underground facility. Experts suggest equipment or materials may have been moved into the tunnels for protection, though this remains unconfirmed.

The fortification comes amid ongoing U.S.-Iran tensions. President Trump has demanded Iran curb its nuclear program, warning of military action, while Tehran insists halting uranium enrichment is unacceptable. Recent indirect talks in Oman showed little progress toward a new deal.

Trump hints at military pressure as U.S. and Iran resume nuclear talks

US-Iran restart nuclear talks in Oman amid cautious optimism, while Trump considers military escalation and Israel demands stricter missile terms.

US-Iran restart nuclear talks in Oman amid cautious optimism, while Trump considers military escalation and Israel demands stricter missile terms.

The United States and Iran have returned to the negotiating table in Oman, marking a fresh attempt to ease escalating nuclear tensions between the two long-time rivals. President Donald Trump described the talks as promising, suggesting momentum toward further discussions.

Iran’s Foreign Minister echoed cautious optimism, calling the meetings a positive first step while acknowledging deep-seated trust issues remain unresolved. At the heart of the talks is a major sticking point — the White House’s insistence that Iran dismantle its nuclear capability entirely.

Iran, however, maintains it has a sovereign right to enrich uranium, setting the stage for difficult negotiations ahead as both sides test whether diplomacy can hold.
