Elon Musk’s SpaceX has completed the record-setting IPO following the raising of $75 billion in capital, beating the previous record made by Saudi Aramco back in 2019. The market listing is set to make over 4,000 employees, current and former, including those in ordinary jobs such as welding and cafeteria, millionaires; approximately 400 employees will have their shares valued at over $100 million each. On the other hand, SpaceX's rocket venture has been recorded to incur a loss of $657 million despite a total income of $4.1 billion in 2025 due to most of its flights being dedicated to launching SpaceX's own Starlink satellites. In this case, analysts suggest that whereas SpaceX will get its NASA contracts, its profits for long-term visions like building bases on the Moon or colonizing Mars and asteroids will remain years far into the future.
The foreign minister of Iran, Seyed Abbas Araghchi, and the prime minister of Pakistan, Shehbaz Sharif, have both stated that a peace agreement which aims to resolve the Gulf crisis has "never been closer." Nevertheless, U.S. President Donald Trump refused any information published by the Iranian media, describing it as an act of dishonor that has nothing to do with the real text of the agreement. While Iran's media sources claimed that the agreement entails ending the U.S. navy blockage, paying $300 billion compensation for the damages, and lifting all sanctions against Iran, on the other hand, U.S. vice president JD Vance and other administration members argued that no money would be paid unless the country ended its nuclear program, reopened the Strait of Hormuz, and ceased funding terrorist organizations such as Hezbollah.

A year after the deadly accident of Air India in which 260 individuals perished, it was announced by the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau of India that their report is still not prepared. On June 12, 2025, Flight 171, a Boeing 787 Dreamliner traveling from Ahmedabad to London, crashed into the hospital building just after takeoff, resulting in the deaths of 241 people on board and 19 on land. It was discovered that the engines stopped working due to the sudden switching off of fuel control in preliminary reports. In addition to this, leaked recordings of the cockpit showed that the pilots were wondering about who switched off the control. Despite heavy criticism for the senior pilot, Capt. Sumeet Sabharwal, pilots’ unions and the father of the captain strongly support him.
Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand pledged $100 million from the federal government during her visit to Paris to assist Palestinians living in the West Bank and Gaza regions. These funds will be allocated to United Nations agencies and Red Cross for providing Palestinians with health services, food, water, and a peaceful approach at a time when the situation is getting worse due to an increase in violence committed by extremist Israeli settlers. With this most recent contribution, Canada has now provided $500 million to the area since late 2023. Furthermore, Canada along with Britain and Australia has pledged a total of $1.8 million to a peace fund to assist Palestinians and Israelis. At the same time, there is growing criticism from all sides with Palestinians demanding more steps against Israel and Jews claiming such actions can fuel antisemitism.
As part of its strategic plan, the US has announced that it would drastically reduce its air and naval capabilities that were assigned for NATO in Europe. As per the report by The New York Times, the plan involves reducing fighter jets assigned to NATO by half to just 100 from 150, cutting maritime patrol aircrafts from 26 to 15, and withdrawing all eight tanker aircrafts. Besides this, a bomber task force, a ballistic missile sub, an aircraft carrier along with a number of warships will be moved outside Europe owing to a change in the U.S. focus toward the Middle East, Asia, and Americas. It is worth noting that President Donald Trump's administration has been critical of NATO countries' low spending on their armies and reliance on America's security, and has called on them to increase their spending to 3.5% of the GDP. Although the move was officially brushed aside by NATO officials citing an attempt to decrease dependence on one single ally, European nations are in a fix.
An almost month-long Ebola outbreak in northeast Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), caused by the unusual Bundibugyo virus strain, is about to enter an even more dangerous stage as the disease spreads into a densely populated displacement camp. As of May 15, 676 confirmed cases, with 136 fatalities, have been reported in Ituri, North Kivu, and South Kivu Provinces. WHO reports increasing transmission in previously unaffected areas due to the movement of people and inadequate reaction by local health authorities. The response is hampered by a combination of rebel violence and poor transportation, as there is a shortage of isolation beds and monitoring facilities necessary to stop the spread of the infection. There are fears that densely populated displacement camps will lead to quick spreading and potential panic among the local population. Neighboring Uganda, where 19 cases were reported, is growing worried as well.
