The son of a British couple jailed in Iran says explosions near the Tehran prison where they are being held have left him fearing they could be killed in the war.

Joe Bennett, 31, has been campaigning full-time for the release of his mother Lindsay Foreman and her husband Craig Foreman, both 53, since they were detained during a round-the-world motorbike trip at the start of 2025.

The couple were sentenced last month to 10 years in prison on espionage charges that they deny.

LONDON/COPENHAGEN/BEIRUT, March 7 (Reuters) - Airline pilots have faced escalating risks in recent years, from drone incursions to flight paths squeezed by conflict.

WASHINGTON, March 7 (Reuters) - One week into the U.S.-Israeli war against Iran that has plunged the Middle East into turmoil, President Donald Trump faces a growing list of risks and challenges that raise questions about whether he will be able to translate military successes into a clear geopolitical win.

Gulf nations reported on Sunday missiles and drone attacks, while Iran vowed to press on with strikes against neighbouring countries as the regional war entered its second week.

Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Kuwait all reported new attacks, after loud explosions were heard in Dubai and Bahrain's Manama a day earlier, and Kuwait's national oil company announced a "precautionary" cut to production.

An Israeli special forces operation that failed to find the remains of airman Ron Arad, captured in Lebanon in 1986, killed 41 people and wounded 40 in eastern Lebanon.

Gutted buildings, torn-off roofs, munitions scattered on the ground surrounded a large crater in Nabi Sheet, the town that witnessed the operation which involved air strikes and clashes.

"The sounds of the explosions were like something out of a movie," Nabi Sheet resident Mohammed Mussa, 55, told AFP during a media tour organised by the Iran-backed group Hezbollah.

Donald Trump has plunged the United States into its most significant conflict in decades over a "feeling." It's not his political opponents saying this, but the White House itself.

Throughout the first week of the war with Iran, the US president has prioritized impulse and emotion over explanations and reasoning.

"I hope you're impressed," Trump, a former reality TV host, told an ABC News reporter on Thursday. "How do you like the performance?"
