Welcome to our live coverage of US politics and global events including the Iran war. <\/p>\n
A US politician has urged Taiwan to approve a drone spending proposal, warning that \u201ctime is short\u201d for the island democracy as it faces the threat of a potential Chinese attack.<\/p>\n
\u201cTime is short, and the faster a comprehensive drone bill can pass, the better,\u201d Republican Young Kim said during a visit to Taipei by a bipartisan congressional delegation.<\/p>\n
It came as US President Donald Trump has declared a \u201ccomplete disarmament\u201d deal has been reached in Gaza.<\/p>\n
The news was announced on Truth Social, and it appears the White House and Mr Trump\u2019s Board of Peace expect Hamas could sign the agreement within days.<\/p>\n
It would mean the devastated Gaza Strip could soon be disamed and demilitarised.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Poland is reeling after what it says \u201clooks like\u201d a Russian missile crashed within its territory, hours after Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky met with Donald Trump in the US.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The cruise missile gouged a 10 metre crater deep inside the NATO member\u2019s borders after Vladimir Putin unleashed long-range attacks on western Ukraine, close to Poland.<\/p>\n
Polish PM Donald Tusk said the Russian weapon had crashed into a field amid Ukraine attack but he said there was \u201cno reason\u201d to think Poland was the intended target.<\/p>\n
Nonetheless, it is a worrying development and the first time a Russian missile has exploded within NATO. <\/p>\n
NATO said it would \u201ccontinue to take all necessary measures to defend (the alliance\u2019s) territory\u201d.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the US military said it has hit dozens of targets, including military command centres and missile facilities in Iran, during a \u201cheavy wave of strikes\u201d.<\/p>\n
But the conflict appears to spreading further with drone strikes recorded at an Egyptian port. It\u2019s the first time since hostilities began that Egypt has been targeted. <\/p>\n
