The Chicago Bears are being considered a top destination for free agent running back J.K. Dobbins as a potential replacement for injured star Nick Chubb. Despite making offseason moves to bolster their offense, the Bears' backfield remains uncertain, with D’Andre Swift underperforming in his first season with the team and key backups offering limited upside. Head coach Ben Johnson, known for building strong running games, is expected to seek additional depth. Analysts, including NFL.com's Jeffri Chadiha, see Dobbins—coming off a career-high 905 rushing yards in 2024—as a viable and younger alternative to the recovering Chubb, positioning Chicago as a frontrunner in securing the breakout back. An Iranian terror suspect involved in an alleged foiled plot to attack the Israeli embassy in London was living in state-funded housing as an asylum seeker. The 40-year-old man was among five Iranian nationals arrested during coordinated counter-terrorism raids across the UK on May 3. Authorities revealed the suspect had been residing for over six months in a Rochdale property managed by Serco on behalf of the Home Office. He is believed to have entered the UK illegally via small boat before claiming asylum. Security experts warn that the Channel migrant route could be exploited by state-backed terrorists. Four of the five suspects remain in custody as investigations continue, while one has been released on bail. The Israeli embassy, located in Kensington and heavily fortified, was reportedly the intended target. Security Minister Dan Jarvis labeled the operation as one of the most significant counter-terrorism efforts in recent times.
