Part of that review involves bases and intelligence sites damaged by Iranian missile and drone attacks. Some locations could be rebuilt with stronger protection, while others may be replaced by different arrangements. CNN says officials are also considering whether certain missions could be carried out by personnel and equipment deployed temporarily from outside the region rather than based there continuously.

The discussions have not resulted in a formal change in policy. Roughly 50,000 U.S. troops remain in the Middle East, and future decisions would depend on security conditions, military needs and cooperation with regional partners.

The review reflects a broader reassessment of how the United States maintains its presence in the region after more than two decades of expanded operations.

She shared that her mother often used vanilla fragrances around the home while she was growing up, making the scent something she still associates with comfort and familiarity. That connection helped shape the fragrance, which launched in August through a collaboration with Revlon.

In Ha Mood combines vanilla with floral notes including plum blossom, rose, and magnolia. The name comes from Ice Spice’s song of the same title, linking the perfume to a track already familiar to her fans.

Ice Spice said both the song and the fragrance connect to a sense of confidence. The project also gives her another way to explore personal style while continuing her work in music.

In the social media announcement, Lane shared a photo showing her baby bump while sitting with Crescent and their golden retriever. She described the pregnancy as a honeymoon souvenir and said Baby Crescent is coming soon. Fellow musicians and friends responded with messages of congratulations.

The pregnancy news arrives just over a year after Lane and Crescent married on August 31, 2025. Lane has previously shared that the pair met through mutual friends in 2023 and quickly developed a close relationship. Crescent later proposed during a road trip to Aspen after the couple passed through Las Vegas.

Lane has released four studio albums during her career, including Walk of Shame, All or Nothin’, Highway Queen and Denim & Diamonds. She has also worked with artists including Lana Del Rey, Josh Homme and Sierra Ferrell.

During a recent interview, Pattinson said filming the sequel’s fight scenes has become more demanding as he gets older. The actor turned 40 shortly before production began in London in June and admitted that the action work now feels significantly harder than it once did.

Despite the challenge, Pattinson said he is enjoying the production and described the shoot as a marathon. He also praised the cast and sounded positive about how the film is coming together.

The Matt Reeves-directed sequel brings Pattinson back as Bruce Wayne, with returning cast members including Jeffrey Wright, Andy Serkis and Colin Farrell. Scarlett Johansson, Sebastian Stan, Charles Dance, Brian Tyree Henry and Sebastian Koch have also joined the film.

Production is expected to continue in London through the end of 2026. The Batman Part II is currently scheduled to arrive in theaters on February 18, 2028.

The award was announced during the Creative Arts Emmy Awards, where the Disney+ special won Outstanding Variety Special (Pre-Recorded). Carpenter was recognized as an executive producer on the project and also appeared as a performer in the special.

The production collected several additional honors during the ceremony, including awards connected to writing, picture editing, and production design. The wins highlighted the work of the creative team behind the latest return of the long-running Muppets franchise.

For Carpenter, the Emmy represents another milestone outside her recording career. She has already received Grammy recognition for her music, and the television award expands her accomplishments into another part of the entertainment industry.

Carpenter later celebrated the team involved with the special, acknowledging the creative work that went into bringing the Muppets project to television.

Under the eligibility rules released with the announcement, festivals must feature either an Australian headline act or a lineup made up of at least 50 percent Australian artists. Eligible events must also be members of the Australian Festival Association. Entries for the 2026 award opened September 7 and will close September 18.

The category was introduced in 2025 as part of a broader effort to highlight the role festivals play in Australia’s live music industry. Laneway Festival became the first winner, with several other major Australian events also nominated.

The award will be presented as part of the 2026 ARIA Awards, which are scheduled for November 18 at Sydney’s Hordern Pavilion. This year’s ceremony will also mark the 40th anniversary of the ARIA Awards.

CNN reported that U.S. Central Command said an American aircraft carrier and a guided-missile destroyer avoided the Iranian attacks, with no U.S. personnel injured. The military said two Iranian tankers were disabled near Kharg Island and Jask, while a third vessel was destroyed in the Gulf of Oman.

According to U.S. Central Command, the tankers were part of an oil network that helps finance the Revolutionary Guard and its regional partners. Iranian media had earlier reported that a tanker near Kharg Island was struck and that its crew was evacuated.

Kharg Island is a major center for Iranian crude exports, while the nearby Strait of Hormuz remains a critical route for global energy shipments. The latest exchange adds to renewed military tensions between Washington and Tehran and increases concerns about maritime security in the region.

Her statement also raised concerns about the amount of AI-generated material, misinformation, and insensitive commentary circulating online since Dolly’s death. Stella said the constant stream of fabricated content has been difficult for the family to absorb or ignore while dealing with their loss.

She encouraged people to remember Dolly through the values she demonstrated during her life, including kindness, tolerance, and respect for others. Stella also noted that her sister often avoided divisive public discussions and preferred to focus her energy on bringing people together.

Dolly Parton died on August 25 at age 80 following a brief battle with cancer. Her decades-long career included major achievements in country and pop music, film, and philanthropy.

Festival organizers said the attendee experienced the emergency on September 3 and received immediate lifesaving treatment at the scene. He was then transported to the event’s onsite emergency care center, where medical personnel pronounced him dead. His identity was not immediately released while authorities worked to notify his family.

Officials said there were no indications of foul play connected to the death. The official cause remained under investigation as authorities continued reviewing the circumstances surrounding the medical emergency.

Burning Man brings thousands of people to the remote Nevada desert each year for a temporary community centered on large-scale art, performances and participant-created experiences. The isolated setting also requires extensive medical, safety, and emergency services to operate throughout the event.

The death adds another serious incident to the festival’s recent history as organizers and local authorities continue coordinating emergency response efforts on the playa.

During the final London concert, British artists Sampha and Dave joined Jay-Z as special guests. Sampha appeared for No Church in the Wild, while Dave received a major crowd response with a performance of Raindance.

The night also drew heavily from Jay-Z’s extensive catalog. The set included Izzo (H.O.V.A.), Empire State of Mind, Hard Knock Life (Ghetto Anthem) and 99 Problems, alongside material from several periods of his career.

The second show featured fewer guests than the opening night, which included Lauryn Hill, Wyclef Jean and Giggs. That first concert also featured a stadium-wide birthday tribute to Beyoncé, who watched from a private suite.

The London dates were Jay-Z’s only U.K. performances of 2026.
