The US-Israel and Iran war has widened sharply, with the NATO air defences destroying an Iranian ballistic missile fired towards Turkey on Day 5 of the war.

Iran launched a new wave of attacks Thursday morning at Israeli and American bases and threatened that the United States would “bitterly regret” torpedoing an Iranian warship in the Indian Ocean.

It was like any other ordinary evening at the Narayanhiti Royal Palace in 2001. Nepal’s Shah family had gathered for their customary private dinner. At around 9 PM, in 15 minutes, Nepal’s King and his heirs had been gunned down.
