Netflix has confirmed an upcoming documentary series titled "The Night of the Planes," investigating a controversial incident from July 2016 when Donald Trump's private Boeing 757 made an unscheduled and initially secretive night-time landing in Turkey. Turkish state media reported claims that the unscheduled stop may have involved discussions regarding that night's attempted military coup against President Erdoğan, while Trump associates maintain the stop was purely for refueling. The series features exclusive interviews with high-ranking intelligence, military, and diplomatic officials.

Peru's government announced Tuesday it is severing diplomatic relations with Iran, accusing Tehran of inciting Middle East conflict escalation, disrupting shipping through the Strait of Hormuz since March, and obstructing IAEA nuclear inspections. Consular relations will continue under the Vienna Convention. The move came as the United States carried out fresh airstrikes on Iranian targets near Hormuz on September 1, prompting Iranian retaliation against US positions in the region. Peru's neighbor Chile recently closed its Tehran embassy but stopped short of a full diplomatic break. Iran has not publicly responded to Peru's announcement.

According to a confidential report from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) seen by major news outlets, Iran has significantly slowed its accumulation of uranium enriched to 60% purity, which is close to weapons grade. The report indicates that over the past quarter, Iran's stockpile of 60% enriched uranium grew by less than 10%, compared to a 30% increase in the previous period. Analysts suggest this slowdown could be a strategic move to ease tensions with the West and potentially reopen diplomatic channels regarding its nuclear program.

A Financial Times investigation reveals that Russia has covertly assisted Iran in developing advanced supersonic cruise missiles under a program codenamed C430L. Initiated in 2023 through state arms exporter Rosoboronexport and rocket bureau NPO Mashinostroyenia, the initiative focused on perfecting ramjet propulsion systems capable of flying at multiple times the speed of sound. Leaked correspondence indicates Russian engineers analyzed Iranian flight-test data to refine engine performance. While Iran successfully tested the propulsion mechanism, defense analysts state there is no confirmation that a Russian-assisted supersonic missile has been deployed operationally.

Under the arrangement, the US government acquires a 35% equity stake and board veto power in NABEP, redirecting crude supplies to American refineries while displacing Beijing and Moscow's longstanding footprint in Venezuela’s energy sector.

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated that the Strait of Hormuz will become "like a worthless piece of water" within two years, arguing that overland pipelines will bypass the vital maritime chokepoint. Speaking at a G20 finance ministerial event in North Carolina, Bessent warned that Washington will further escalate sanctions to economically isolate Tehran, pledging upcoming designations against financial institutions assisting Iranian trade. While regional producers explore alternative pipeline routes, energy analysts note the waterway remains indispensable, currently facilitating nearly a fifth of the world's petroleum consumption.
