An Israeli Air Force AH-64 Apache attack helicopter fires rockets while flying along the border between northern Israel and southern Lebanon on March 18, 2026. The Israeli military said it planned to strike bridges and crossings over the Litani River in southern Lebanon on March 18 to disrupt what it said were Hezbollah arms-smuggling routes. Lebanon was drawn into the Middle East war on March 2 when militant group Hezbollah launched rockets into Israel to avenge the killing of Iran's supreme leader.

A livestream shows Jerome Powell, chairman of the US Federal Reserve, speaking after a Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) in New York on March 18, 2026. The US Federal Reserve kept interest rates unchanged Wednesday as expected, in defiance of President Donald Trump as the world's largest economy battles stubborn inflation, weak labor demand and an "uncertain" economic outlook due to the war in Iran. The Fed's 11-1 vote kept rates steady at a range between 3.50 percent and 3.75 percent, with officials flagging one expected rate cut by the end of the year.

Protestors hold placards depicting Britain's Prime Minister Keir Starmer reading the message "Two Tier" as they gather for the far-right rally "The Great British National Strike" in front of Downing Street's gates, in central London, on May 24, 2025. The message Two Tier is a reference to the "two-tier Kier" used by US co-leader of the Department of Government Efficiency Elon Muski in reference to the conspiracy theory that police are treating white far-right "protesters" more harshly than minority groups.
