With all the fallout we're witnessing from the US-Israeli war, in what position does the United States find itself now, as it used to consider itself the guarantor of the world order?

We discuss this and more with Christopher Helali, international secretary of American Communist Party.

With the Strait of Hormuz effectively remaining a no-go area for much of the world's shipping, it has sent a seismic shock right through the global energy sector.

And as RT's Ayla Kudryavtseva explains, the pain being caused is now raising questions about the US rules-based order.

Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization has condemned the latest US-Israeli strike near the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant, the fourth since hostilities began, accusing the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) of 'inaction' and warning of potential legal action.

The projectile hit near the facility’s perimeter, killing a security guard and damaging an auxiliary building.

To discuss this, we speak with Dr. Hayat ElHariri, academic and political researcher.

The number of civilian fatalities caused when a key road bridge in Iran was attacked has risen to 13.

The B1 bridge is not the first civilian infrastructure in Iran to be targeted in the war.

The capital's historic Azadi Stadium was hit last month.

RT's Tehran bureau chief, Hami Hamedi, reports from the scene.

The Russian Defense Ministry has reported that its troops are gaining more ground along the frontlines in conflict with Ukraine.

Moscow also said Kiev lost nearly 9,000 troops in the last week.

RT's Igor Zhdanov has the details.

A projectile has struck near Iran’s Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant, killing one person, Tasnim news agency reported.

The strike reportedly hit near the facility’s perimeter, damaging an auxiliary building. The main operational units are said to have been unaffected and remain functional.

This is the fourth attack on the site since the start of US-Israeli strikes on Iran on February 28. The IAEA earlier warned that any serious damage to the plant – which contains significant radioactive material – could trigger a major nuclear incident with far-reaching consequences.

To discuss this, we speak with Taleb Ibrahim, expert on terror and author of books on Iran.
