  Iran's army has warned that the conflict in the Middle East could expand further if the United States launches additional attacks on the Islamic Republic, ahead of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's visit to Washington this week. Army spokesman Mohammad Akraminia issued the warning during an interview with Iranian state television on Sunday, July 26, saying any renewed US military action would widen the geographical scope of the conflict. "I believe that if the Americans once again fall for the Zionists' deception, or move in line with them, and insist on continuing the war, particularly through air strikes, geographically this will expand further," he said. Akraminia claimed the conflict had already spread to the Bab al-Mandab Strait at the entrance to the Red Sea, referring to the recent escalation involving Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi movement and Saudi Arabia. "The scope of our operations now encompasses the entire region, from US bases in J...

  Saudi Pro League side Al-Ittihad have reportedly submitted an offer to sign Nigeria international Wilfred Ndidi from Turkish club Beşiktaş.  According to Turkish outlet Milliyet, the Saudi club have tabled a bid worth €10.5 million, with performance-related bonuses potentially increasing the deal to €12.5 million. The move comes after Beşiktaş reportedly rejected an earlier approach from another Saudi Pro League club, Al Diriyah, during the current transfer window. Al-Ittihad are said to have identified the 29-year-old midfielder as a priority target as they look to strengthen their squad ahead of the 2026/27 season. Ndidi joined Beşiktaş from Leicester City in August 2025, signing a three-year contract that runs until June 2028, with the Turkish club holding the option to extend it by a further year. Since arriving in Istanbul, the former Leicester midfielder has established himself as a key member of the squad and was appointed vice-captain in October 2025. He has made 31 ...

  Vinicius Junior's contract situation at Real Madrid has become increasingly uncertain after negotiations over a new deal reportedly stalled, with the Brazil international now entering the final year of his current contract. Just a year ago, renewal talks were widely expected to conclude without difficulty, with those close to the club reportedly confident that an agreement would be reached. However, according to reports, the two sides have since moved significantly apart in negotiations. Spanish outlet Sport claims one of the main sticking points is Vinicius' reported demand for a €15 million signing bonus, a figure Real Madrid are unwilling to accept. The report adds that the club are signalling their long-term transfer strategy by moving to sign RB Leipzig winger Yan Diomande, who is represented by the same agency as Vinicius. Both players are clients of Roc Nation, with the agency reportedly due in Madrid on Monday to complete the formalities surrounding Diomande's pro...

  A social media influencer has been killed by her estranged husband less than two weeks after she went on TikTok to accuse him of pedophilia.   Sara Gilson was fatally shot Thursday, July 23, in Owasso, Oklahoma, by husband Jeremiah Duffey, who went by Shawn Duffey on social media, according to the Owasso Police Department. She was 43.   A little over a month earlier, on June 10, she filed and was granted an emergency protective order against Duffey after police informed her he’d been accused the day prior of molesting a minor.   On July 11, Gilson posted a video on TikTok, where she had more than 30,000 followers, accusing Duffey of pedophilia.   “Preparing for when Netflix drops a documentary about my soon to be ex husband who I just found out is a pedophile,” Gilson wrote.     On June 9, about a month before Gilson posted the video, a girl and a parent told police that Duffey, who coached the girl’s traveling basketball team, inappropriately touche...
