Global Flashpoints: Iran Threatens War, Gaza Opens, ICE Rattles

Iran's Supreme Leader Warns of Regional War Amid Rising Tensions with US

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei warned on Sunday that any attack by the United States would ignite a "regional war" in the Middle East, further escalating tensions as President Donald Trump has threatened military action against the Islamic Republic, according to the Associated Press. Khamenei, 86, issued his most direct threat to date as the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier was positioned in the region.

The warning comes amid other developments in the Middle East. Gaza's Rafah border crossing with Egypt saw increased activity Sunday as Israel announced the resumption of limited travel to and from the territory after years of near-complete isolation, the Associated Press reported. This reopening is considered a key step in the Israel-Hamas ceasefire. Israel announced the crossing had opened in a test.

Meanwhile, in Houston, the recent U.S. intervention in Venezuela, which saw the capture of Nicolás Maduro, has stirred division, according to NPR. The effects of the raid are still being felt in the oil-rich city, home to major petroleum companies and a large Venezuelan community. Lupita Gutierrez, a fruit and vegetable vendor at the Houston Farmer's Market, told NPR she believes Trump ordered the intervention in Venezuela to distract Americans from his failure to reduce inflation at home.

In Minnesota, the effects of immigration enforcement actions continue to reverberate. Weeks after a controversial incident, citizens detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) remain rattled, NPR reported. Aliya Rahman, a Bangladeshi-American and U.S. citizen, was detained by federal agents on January 13 near the scene where Renee Macklin Good was fatally shot by an ICE officer in Minneapolis. A video of Rahman's arrest, showing officers dragging her from her car, circulated widely on social media. Rahman stated she was on her way to the doctor when she encountered the ICE operation and a group of protestors. She said ICE officers instructed her to move her car amidst the chaotic scene.
