Lionel Messi Announces Argentina Retirement

Lionel Messi announced he is retiring from international football with Argentina. He said he wrote his retirement letter after the World Cup final in July but delayed publishing it because his father, Jorge Messi, was facing health issues that eventually claimed his life. Messi played in six World Cups and led Argentina to victory in Qatar in 2022.

Houthis Capture Strategic Red Sea Island

Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen have captured Perim Island in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, a strategic chokepoint for Red Sea shipping and oil exports. Saudi Arabia said it shut down a major oil pipeline as a precaution after it came under attack. The Houthis also reportedly took over Yemen's port of Mokha, about 50 miles from the strait, consolidating control along the key maritime route.
