Amid the possibility of a war between Israel and Iran, the United States has ordered the deployment of a guided missile submarine to the Middle East. Defense Secretary Llyod Austin gave the green light for the deployment as the White House braces for the worst-case scenario.

According to the Pentagon, Austin spoke with his Israeli counterpart and also told the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier strike group to sail more quickly to the area.&nbsp;

"Secretary Austin reiterated the United States’ commitment to take every possible step to defend Israel and noted the strengthening of US&nbsp;military force posture and capabilities throughout the Middle East in light of escalating regional tensions," read the Pentagon statement.&nbsp;

The fresh deployment of an important military asset by the White House comes days after&nbsp;additional fighter jets and navy warships were moved to the turbulent region.

US President Joe Biden held a phone call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu earlier this month and said the US would “support Israel’s defence against threats,” which would include “new defensive US military deployments".

"The President reaffirmed his commitment to Israel’s security against all threats from Iran, including its proxy terrorist groups Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis," read the readout of the call.

<h2>Israel anticipates Iranian attack</h2>

Israel has been anticipating a retaliatory attack that may escalate into war after back-to-back assassinations of Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran and top Hezbollah commander Fuad Shukr in Beirut.&nbsp;

Washington is especially wary after Iranian Supreme Leader&nbsp;Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said avenging&nbsp;Haniyeh's blood was their 'duty' and vowed retaliation against Israel.&nbsp;

“The criminal and terrorist Zionist regime martyred our dear guest in our house and made us bereaved,"&nbsp;Khamenei said.&nbsp;

“We consider it our duty to avenge his blood in this bitter and difficult incident that happened in the territory of the Islamic Republic,” he added.&nbsp;

White House believes a response from Tehran might be similar to the barrage of ballistic missiles and drones it launched against Israel on April 13.

However, there is uncertainty that the attack could be larger and more complicated, including the possibility of a coordinated attack with Iranian proxies from multiple directions.

Donald Trump's presidential campaign on Saturday (Aug 10) claimed that it had been hacked. It further suggested that Iranian actors were involved in stealing and distributing sensitive internal documents.&nbsp;

The hackers reportedly distributed documents and a dossier on Trump's vice-presidential pick, JD Vance.&nbsp;

"These documents were obtained illegally from foreign sources hostile to the United States, intended to interfere with the 2024 election and sow chaos throughout our Democratic process," Donald Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung said in a statement.

News outlet Politico&nbsp;said it had received emails with the campaign material from a source who refused to identify themselves. The outlet said it received the first set of documents on July 22 via email.&nbsp;

The document was dated Feb. 23, almost five months before Trump selected Vance as his running mate.&nbsp;

"The Iranians know that President Trump will stop their reign of terror just like he did in his first four years in the White House. Any media or news outlet reprinting documents or internal communications is doing the bidding of America's enemies and doing exactly what they want," Cheung added.&nbsp;

<h2>Microsoft points to Iranian threat&nbsp;</h2>

The news of the leak comes a day after Microsoft issued a report documenting foreign agents and their attempts to interfere in the US elections in 2024. The findings revealed that Iran is evolving its tactics for the elections which is likely to have global implications.

"A group run by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) intelligence unit sent a spear-phishing email to a high-ranking official of a presidential campaign” and “another group with assessed links to the IRGC compromised a user account with minimal access permissions at a county-level government,” the report said.

The report added that another Tehran-backed group had been launching "secret" news sites that used AI to lift content from legitimate news sites, and targeted US voters on opposite sides of the political spectrum.

If implemented as law, the idea could result in up to a million workers, from dentists to teachers, being forced to report any contact with undocumented patients, students, and authorities, and has faced widespread opposition from rights campaigners and professional associations.

"This proposal is utterly inhumane," Michele LeVoy of the Platform for International Cooperation on Undocumented Migrants, was quoted as saying by The Guardian.&nbsp;

"People will be, in a sense, terrified. Why would anyone want to go somewhere when they know that the main thing that will happen is not that they can get care, not that they can go to school, not that they can go to the library – they’ll just be turned in."

Jacob Lind, a postdoctoral researcher in international migration at Malmö University, told The Guardian that the Swedish proposal was likely to have little impact when it came to reducing the number of people without papers in the country.

"A lot of people are not going to leave," he said. "They are just going to end up in further misery. You’ll end up with the opposite effect; society will have even less contact with people who are in this situation, further increasing their vulnerability and making them even more exploitable."

Sweden's proposed 'snitch law' against immigrants creates stir and concern

Republican vice-presidential candidate JD Vance, on Saturday (August 10), addressed criticism of his past remarks on childless Americans, and defended the Trump campaign's immigration proposals during an interview with ABC’s "This Week" anchor Jonathan Karl.&nbsp;

As the 2024 presidential race heats up with Vice President Kamala Harris taking the lead on the Democratic ticket, the Ohio senator said he was confident of the GOP's chances of returning to the White House.&nbsp;

"I think we're going to win. I also think that we have to work as hard as possible for the remainder of the election to try to persuade Americans to vote for us," Vance stated while calling for a strong final push in the campaign.

Vance has faced criticism for previous comments about childless individuals, including a 2021 interview with then-Fox News host Tucker Carlson, where he referred to leading Democrats, including Harris, as "childless cat ladies."&nbsp;

In a prior speech to the Intercollegiate Studies Institute, Vance proposed the idea of giving extra votes to parents and suggested that parents should have more voting power.

When questioned about these remarks, Vance called his statements as a "thought experiment" rather than a serious policy proposal.&nbsp;

"Do I regret saying it? I regret that the media and the Kamala Harris campaign has, frankly, distorted what I said," he told Karl, stressing that he intended to advocate for a more pro-family stance.

Death toll from the garbage landslide at a landfill in Uganda's capital Kampala went up to 19 on Sunday (August 11).

Speaking to AFP, resident commissioner Yasin Ndide said that&nbsp;Nineteen people including five children have been confirmed dead.

"The rescue mission is ongoing but with little hope of finding more survivors," he said.

Just hours earlier, Kampala's metropolitan police spokesman Patrick Onyango told the news agency that they have "so far retrieved 12 dead bodies from the garbage heap and rescued 14 people alive."

"The rescue operation is still ongoing until we are sure no one is trapped under (the garbage)," he said. Onyango revealed that they have rescued several animals including a dog.

The city's honorary mayor Erias Lukwago, as per AFP, described the garbage landfill as a disaster waiting to happen. Earlier this year, Lukwago had raised concerns about the potential health risks from the waste.

In January, he had warned that people working and living near the Kiteezi landfill were in danger of health hazards due to the overflowing garbage there.

He said that the landfill received about 1,500 tonnes of waste every day, and it is the site for almost all the garbage collected across Kampala.

Describing the situation as a "national crisis" he alleged that the site was not maintained at all. He said that the nation's central government and parliament needed to step in.
