The Pentagon has not provided details on the incident amid scrutiny over whether it is understating the war’s human and financial toll.
Eight US Marines were injured when an Iranian anti-ship cruise missile struck a vessel in the Strait of Hormuz that they were operating on earlier this month
The Pentagon has not offered an account of the incident and is facing scrutiny over downplaying the number of casualties and costs in the war with Iran.
Casualties
The Marines – seven enlisted personnel and one officer – were operating as part of a landing team when the missile hit, unnamed US officials told the network.
The personnel suffered smoke inhalation and possible traumatic brain injuries. Sources said the Marines were not aboard a US Navy ship but did not identify the type of vessel.
Pentagon Silence
The Pentagon did not provide an explanation for the incident. It took it nearly ten days to quietly add the Marines into the Defense Casualty Analysis System, a database that tracks injuries and deaths in the conflict.
Casualties 861
Just last week, the tally abruptly rose by 37, bringing the acknowledged number of US troops wounded since the hostilities began to 861.
More than half categorized as casualties of Overseas Operations rather than specifying the unpopular war against Iran.
Earlier this month, the Washington Post also reported that at least 22 service members died in the Middle East since the war began, compared with 18 acknowledged by the Pentagon at the time.
Downplaying the toll
While it is unclear whether the Trump regime was deliberately downplaying the toll, or the discrepancy was caused by bureaucratic procedures, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth denounced the report as ‘disgusting and fake.’
The dispute over the human toll has been accompanied by questions over the financial costs of the conflict. CENTCOM estimates the costs of military operations against Iran at around $43.6 billion.
Costs don’t include

The figure does not include the potential multi-billion-dollar cost of repairing US military facilities hit in retaliatory strikes.
NBC reported in July, citing people familiar with Pentagon assessments, that the overall cost could already be $80 billion to $100 billion when repairing bases, replacing destroyed aircraft, and fully replenishing weapons are included.
Iran has warned that it has ‘unforgettable lessons’ in store for the US if it continues the escalation. They say it will only lead to ‘heavier costs and further humiliation.’

Material found in terror suspect vans is ‘not viable explosives’ as five arrested British men from London are all released on bail
The five men arrested over the suspected Iranian bomb plot at RAF Fairford have all been released on bail.
The suspects, all British nationals from London, remain under investigation, Counter Terrorism Policing said today, as Tehran ‘categorically’ denied any involvement in the alleged plot.
The Daily Mail understands that tests on the material found in the three vans have established that they are not viable explosives.
Suspicious activities of the five masked suspects and the discovery of barrels of material found in the back of their three vans parked 350 metres from the RAF base in the early hours on Sunday, sparked the evacuation of 85 homes as experts feared it could be a huge vehicle bomb capable of ‘massive’ destruction.
But testing has now revealed that it is not explosive material, according to sources.
Police are continuing to investigate the circumstances to establish whether the five men may have participated in a Tehran-backed hoax, decoy or potential dummy run in preparation for a possible terror attack.
Assistant Commissioner Laurence Taylor stressed that officers were still looking at potential hostile state involvement.
The men, aged between 23 and 25, were detained outside the Gloucestershire air base and stripped of their clothes amid fears they were wearing suicide belts in the early hours of Sunday morning.
Elite SAS troops were deployed to the site from Hereford, sources said, while Andy Burnham revealed he would chair a meeting of the Government’s Cobra emergency committee this afternoon.
However, the men are no longer in custody, Britain’s top counter-terrorism officer has revealed. They remain under strict bail conditions as detectives continue their inquiries.
Mr Taylor told reporters outside New Scotland Yard: ‘I can confirm that, following extensive interviews and inquiries, the five men who were arrested are being released on police bail this afternoon.
‘To be very clear, this does not mean that the investigation is over. They are subject to stringent conditions on their movement and contact with others.
‘They absolutely remain under investigation as we explore multiple lines of enquiry.’
It came as Iran said it ‘categorically rejects’ any involvement in the suspected plot. In a statement, its London embassy dismissed reports linking Tehran to the arrests as ‘unfounded and malicious speculations’.
The embassy added: ‘The circulation of such fabricated speculations, particularly in the aftermath of the criminal acts of aggression committed by the United States and the Israeli regime against the Iranian people, will serve no purpose other than to fuel Iranophobia propaganda in the UK.
‘The Islamic Republic of Iran reserves the right to take appropriate legal measures, as necessary, to safeguard the rights and interests of the country and its people in response to misleading and damaging media narratives.’
Police have said a cordon remains in place around RAF Fairford today and that overnight searches linked to the arrests had produced ‘multiple new lines of enquiry’.
The five men were arrested under the Explosives Act and then on Terrorism charges. Three are from the London borough of Westminster, one is from Camden and the fifth is from Willesden in Brent.
Counter Terrorism Policing’s Senior National Coordinator, Deputy Assistant Commissioner Vicki Evans, said: ‘This is a hugely complex and large-scale operation involving local and national policing, the MoD and local agencies, which are working together to progress the investigation and support the community.
‘I know this has been incredibly disruptive for local people, but I’d like to reassure them that our activity is in the interests of national security and, most importantly, their own safety.
‘I’d also like to thank the emergency services for their response, including the armed officers who first attended the scene not knowing what they might face.
‘I am very aware of the levels of speculation about the motivation behind this incident and the geopolitical questions being raised. However, I ask that Counter Terrorism Policing be given the space at this time to carry out its work carefully and thoroughly.’
The hero farmer who foiled the terror attack on RAF Fairford today laid into Wes Streeting after he said she only had ‘a partial picture’ of the operation – and revealed police are yet to speak to her.
Driving home from a party in the early hours of yesterday morning, the local woman was shocked to find three large white vans blocking a road yards from RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire, which was used by US bombers to strike Iran.
The alleged terrorists, who may have been wearing suicide vests, then fled in different directions.
Worryingly, the farmer claimed she saw more ‘Middle Eastern-looking’ suspects fleeing the scene than the five men later arrested. She said it could have been ten.
After she said her discovery showed the authorities had ‘dropped the ball’ – Wes Streeting heavily suggested that police and security services were aware while President Trump said: ‘We know all about them.’
She told reporters: ‘I know it’s been said by some of the higher ups today that I didn’t have the full picture, but the picture I had was three extremely unusual vehicles parked in the middle of our village and a group of unknown men running around.
‘So, that’s my picture, I don’t know whether that’s the full picture or not.’
She added: ‘I don’t know how he knows what picture I’ve got, I’ve never met him. Literally nobody in any sort of official capacity has been in touch with me or anyone else in the village, no follow up at all, even now, from the police who had my number when I reported it to 999, so it’s just very odd.’
Britain’s security services are on high alert today amid fears of further Iranian terror attacks on UK soil.
MI5 and counter-terrorism police are scrambling to establish who was behind the suspected bomb plot after arresting five men believed to have been on the verge of carrying out a ‘very big attack’, sources said.
However, suggestions that UK authorities had advance notice of the plot were dismissed, with Whitehall sources insisting the arrests were not pre-planned despite comments by President Trump and Defence Secretary Wes Streeting that appeared to suggest otherwise.
Mr Streeting today praised the farmer’s quick thinking and public spirit but insisted that she had only a ‘partial picture’ of events, declining to reveal further details.
He said: ‘She has done exactly what we would hope that someone in that extraordinary situation would do, and I’m really grateful to her.
‘I think she acted, by her own admission, quickly and thoughtfully, and she did the right thing. With respect, though, she does only have a partial picture, and that’s as far as I wish to go this morning.’
He was asked about why a Ministry of Defence 24/7 hotline for locals to report security concerns at Fairford was not answered when the farmer called yesterday. Mr Streeting said he could not comment due to the ‘live investigation’ into the incident.
But he again thanked police and the security services for their response, adding that the UK must not be ‘cowed by sabre-rattling from Iran’ or allow the country to ‘dictate our foreign policy’ while stressing it was ‘too early to attribute background aims’.
Speaking later at a Politico event at Labour Party Conference, the Defence Secretary added: ‘We are making no assumptions about the background and motivation of the arrested individuals.’
He went on to defend the UK’s decision to allow the US to fly sorties against ‘malevolent’ Iran from the base, adding: ‘Having the US at Fairford makes us more safe, not less safe. Be in no doubt about that.’
Donald Trump appeared to nod when asked by reporters last night whether the suspects were migrants. However, he did not answer directly, saying only: ‘We know all about them.’
Nigel Farage has said there are ‘cells inside this country of people who are enemies to us’, following the arrests near RAF Fairford.
The Reform UK leader also said Donald Trump’s comments on the potential terror plot ‘verifies my worst fears’.
Speaking to LBC while in Edinburgh, he said: ‘If a farmer coming home from a party at 1am is the person that discovered these people, it does raise questions.’
He continued: ‘Donald Trump is telling you more about the national security situation and about what I privately know, than we, as a country, are being told.
‘We are in a very serious situation. A very serious situation.
‘We have cells, inside this country, of people who are enemies to us. And that’s why Trump’s saying what he’s saying.’
Mr Farage said he had received more precise information over the summer, adding: ‘Trump saying what he says verifies my worst fears.’

THREE EARTHQUAKES STRIKE OFF BRITISH COLUMBIA WITHIN HOURS
A burst of earthquake activity is unfolding off the coast of British Columbia.
Three earthquakes struck the same offshore region within roughly six hours, measuring M4.9, M5.4 and M5.2.
Two of the quakes topped magnitude 5, with all three centered roughly 100 to 130 miles from Port Hardy.
So far, no significant damage has been reported and no tsunami warning was issued, but the tight clustering makes this an interesting area to watch.
Three earthquakes. Six hours. Same region.

Australian Muslim preacher calls to take up arms against enemies including Jews, Christians
Sep 29, 2026
A Melbourne preacher known as Abu Ahmad, linked to the Al Bayyinah Islamic Center in Springvale, told followers they must take up arms against enemies including Jews and Christians.
In a July sermon, Ahmad instructed devotees not to take Jews and Christians as friends and said devotion to Allah includes an obligation to oppose and fight enemies.
“For the sake of Allah, it includes the obligation to declare enmity for his sake, opposition for the sake of Allah,” he said in a clip posted to the center’s social media feed. “It is to declare opposition: indeed, to take up arms against his enemies, to shun them, and to stay far from them both in word and deed.”
The remarks have drawn national attention because of reported ties between the Melbourne institution, founded in Springvale in 2024, and networks in Sydney. Local reporting says the center has received ongoing support from Sydney preacher Wissam Haddad, previously linked to the Al Madina Dawah Centre in Bankstown—a prayer hall also reportedly attended by alleged Bondi gunman Naveed Akram and shut down in January.
Ahmad visited Haddad’s Sydney center in early 2025 to deliver a sermon criticizing “infidel” Western powers, local reports said. An ABC Four Corners investigation had earlier documented institutional links between Haddad and the Melbourne prayer center.
One Nation leader Sen. Pauline Hanson issued a statement Monday demanding federal action. “Fifteen people were murdered in a terrorist act at Bondi,” Hanson said. “Now Australians are reading reports of an Islamic preacher urging followers to take up arms against Australian Christians and Jews. How much more do Albanese and Burke need to hear?”
She argued existing community-wide laws are not enough and called for powers aimed at preachers who encourage terrorist violence, recruiters and support networks. “We need stronger federal powers to shut down the extremist and fundamentalist mosques and Islamic prayer centers,” Hanson said. “Give ASIO and the AFP the resources and targeted powers to dismantle these networks. If current laws are inadequate, change them.”
Robert Gregory, president of the Australian Jewish Association, told The Jerusalem Post the episode exposes failures in security and cohesion. “It is hard to believe that this long after the Bondi terrorist attack, Australia has still not seen a major crackdown on radical Islamic preachers and extremist religious centres,” he said. “If this sort of hatred is being preached in Australian religious centres, Australia has serious problems with extremism and social cohesion.”
Gregory asked how many other preachers deliver similar messages without media notice. “Australian Jews have been warning for years about rising antisemitism, radicalization and failures in Australia’s immigration and national security settings,” he said. “Antisemitism has surged in Australia, and after the Bondi attack, these warnings can no longer be dismissed.”
Australian security expert Daniel Lewkovitz told the paper he was not surprised. He recalled a 2005 incident at a government-funded Islamic school in Melbourne in which a visiting imam was overheard telling students that Jews were putting poison in bananas. “Newspapers covered it, and there was outrage,” he said. “The school should have been closed down, with deportations to follow. Instead, the headmaster is still there.”
In 2015, Lewkovitz said, the same headmaster told students ISIS was a Western plot involving Israel and America. “Ten years later, ISIS inspired the murder of 15 Jews at Bondi Beach. Again, nothing much happened.” He warned of a pattern, especially in Western Sydney, of trading security for votes in marginal seats. “Europe has shown exactly where this ends and what’s taken 30 years in Europe has taken 10 in Australia.”

A pulse of warm water thousands of miles across is believed to be only days away from arriving along the US coast, and scientists have warned that its impact could be felt well into 2027.
Scientists from NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) have said that a Kelvin wave is approaching the California Coast, potentially leading to significant coastal flooding and more damage during winter storms.
The phenomenon is not like a tsunami crashing into the West Coast and knocking down buildings. Instead, a Kelvin wave refers to a planetary-scale wave of warm ocean water that forms when the usual tropical winds of the Pacific weaken during El Nino.
This lets the warm water that typically piles up in the western Pacific slosh east across the equator, slamming into the Americas and moving up the coast toward the US. The result is sudden and dramatically higher sea levels of up to a foot.
NOAA revealed that a Kelvin wave had already reached South America and was now traveling north. They reported on September 25 that this wave would begin to affect the US West Coast ‘within the next few weeks.’
While the wave itself will not cause massive floods to wash out California neighborhoods, scientists have warned that a Kelvin wave often exacerbates the extreme weather in the Southwest seen during El Nino years.
In this case, El Nino, which describes when the Pacific Ocean becomes unusually warm and flips global weather patterns, has been predicted to be one of the strongest in history – and forecasters believe its effects will last through 2027.
NOAA oceanographer Michael McPhaden told SFGate that California could see a ‘quintuple whammy’ this year, seeing the Kelvin wave and rising sea levels from a marine heat wave and climate change combine with storms from offshore hurricanes to produce widespread coastal flooding across the state.
A Kelvin wave raises the ocean along California by about six to 12 inches within days or weeks of its arrival, which is sudden compared with normal long-term sea-level rise that can take up to a century to reach the same level.
That extra water along the coast can remain high for weeks or even months, lifting the starting point for high tides and winter storms crashing into the shoreline.
El Nino winters already tend to bring more storms and bigger ocean waves, with NOAA oceanographer Mike Jacox noting that California has very high tides around Thanksgiving and Christmas.
When a storm or high tide hits on top of that already higher sea, waves and floodwater can come crashing farther inland, meaning beaches, cliffs and low-lying coastal communities take more damage than they would in a normal year without a Kelvin wave.
Kate Huckelbridge from the California Coastal Commission wrote in a September 2026 memo: ‘A key observation from past El Nino events is that the most damaging storms are often those that coincide with the highest tides.’
‘Storms that peak during high tides are far more likely to cause damage than if the same storm peaked during low tide.’
California Governor Gavin Newsom declared a state of emergency in late September due to the potential threat of winter storms, flooding and coastal hazards.
His declaration was not directly tied to the arrival of a Kelvin wave, but was more generally tied to scientists predicting that the El Nino, which emerged this summer, could produce the strongest temperature increase in the Pacific on record.

Screaming ALLAH AKBAR, Pilot Stabs Captain, Tries to Crash Dubai Flight Carrying 150 Passengers in Midair Terror Attack

A near catastrophe unfolded aboard a Flydubai flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv when a violent cockpit confrontation reportedly sent the aircraft plunging thousands of feet over Saudi Arabia.
Flight FZ1073, carrying approximately 150 passengers, reportedly transmitted emergency signals, including squawk code 7500—the international aviation code for unlawful interference or hijacking.
Passengers described a terrifying scene: screams from the cockpit, blood, and reports that one pilot had been stabbed.

According to passenger testimony circulated by Israeli commentator Yoseph Haddad, Israelis aboard the aircraft helped overpower the attacker.
“We are currently in Saudi Arabia. One of the crew members attacked the pilot with a knife and disabled the aircraft’s systems. Yaniv and another passenger stormed the cockpit and subdued the attacker. Luckily, there were two more pilots on board. They were the ones who managed to land the plane.”
The plane ultimately landed safely in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia. All passengers were reported safe.
