 U.S equipment, experts arrive at Kenya Ebola facility despite court order, protests Around 20 flights carrying medical equipment and specialist staff have landed at a base in Kenya where the U.S. ​government is continuing to build an Ebola quarantine facility despite protests and Kenyan court orders blocking it, according to flight data and officials. At least two ‌people have been killed in protests in the central Kenyan town of Nanyuki, home to the Kenyan air force base where the U.S. military is building a 50-bed unit for Americans who might be exposed to the virus, which has infected hundreds in Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda.

IRAN ACCUSES US OF CEASEFIRE VIOLATION AFTER STRIKES NEAR STRAIT OF HORMUZ AS TALKS INTENSIFY. (PHOTO).


 Iran accuses US of ceasefire violation after strikes near Strait of Hormuz as talks intensify

Iran accused the United States on Tuesday of violating a fragile ceasefire after U.S. forces carried out what they described as defensive strikes targeting sites near Bandar Abbas by the Strait of Hormuz. The U.S. military said the late-Monday operation included strikes on missile launch positions and Iranian boats allegedly preparing to deploy mines, actions it framed as necessary to protect American forces during the ongoing pause in fighting.

The escalation comes as diplomatic efforts to end the war continue to gain momentum, with U.S. officials signaling that negotiators are close to resolving remaining differences. However, Iran pushed back sharply, saying the strikes undermined the truce that has been in place for several weeks and accusing Washington of acting in bad faith while talks were still underway. Tehran’s foreign ministry warned that it would respond to any further aggression and placed responsibility for the consequences on the United States.

Military officials said the ceasefire remains in effect despite the latest confrontation, and the U.S. Central Command stated it continues to operate with restraint while maintaining defensive readiness. Iran’s Revolutionary Guard also issued threats of retaliation and claimed it had downed or forced back multiple U.S. aircraft, including drones and a fighter jet, though those claims were not confirmed by American officials.

The strikes add new tension to already complex negotiations aimed at ending a three-month conflict that began after earlier U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iranian targets. Talks have included discussions over reopening the Strait of Hormuz, unfreezing Iranian assets, and establishing a framework for a broader peace agreement that could unfold over a 60-day negotiating window.

Diplomatic efforts have also expanded regionally, with mediators in Qatar working to bridge gaps between the two sides. Iranian officials have been engaged in back-channel discussions, while U.S. leaders have pushed for broader regional alignment, including potential participation in wider diplomatic accords. However, some regional officials have pushed back on linking separate agreements to the Iran talks, arguing that ending the conflict should remain the immediate priority.

Key sticking points remain unresolved, including the status of Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile, which U.S. leaders have demanded be removed or neutralized under international oversight. Iran maintains its nuclear program is peaceful and rejects external control over its materials.

Amid the rising tensions, Iran’s leadership issued a new warning that it would not tolerate continued strikes or foreign military presence in the region, signaling that the ceasefire remains fragile as both diplomatic and military pressures intensify.
