US President Donald Trump will fail in his confrontation with Iran, just like Iraq’s Saddam Hussein, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said on Saturday, referring to the war between the two Middle Eastern powers and vowing that Tehran will not abandon its missiles. Tensions have ramped up between Iran and the United States after Trump withdrew from a landmark multilateral nuclear deal in May and reimposed sanctions on the Islamic Republic last month.

When it was revealed artists Hyuna and E-Dawn were a couple last month, there was an angry backlash from some apparently heartbroken fans, and the pair were subsequently suspended by their record label, Cube Entertainment, under whom they had been performing together as part of the outfit Triple H.

Four gunmen dressed in fatigues opened fire at a military parade in southwestern Iran, killing at least 29 people including women and children.   The brazen attack on Saturday in the city of Ahvaz came as the country marked the anniversary of the start of its 1980-1988 war with Saddam Hussein's Iraq, and prompted President Hassan Rouhani to warn of a "crushing response". Those killed included members of the elite Revolutionary Guards and women and children who had come to watch the parade, the Iranian state-run IRNA news agency said. More than 50 people were wounded.

Hurricane Florence has reportedly caused a "snake-nado" with scenes straight out of a horror film. South Carolina residents have been warned about the possibility of getting bitten by venomous serpents misplaced by the hurricane. Thad Bowman - who works at Myrtle Beach animal park Alligator Adventure - said people should be on the guard, and urged anyone who is bitten to immediately go to hospital.

He added: "They inject venom, which causes tissue destruction, platelet loss, causes bleeding, it can cause death."

A number of photographers were able to document the journey of Saudi Arabia’s founding King Abdulaziz Al Saud with their cameras. Some of the most prominent to have documented the history of the king were Mohamed Sadiq, Douma, Bonfis, Zanjaki, Mirza, Sherley, Rochester, Virilio, Wert and others. The King Abdulaziz Library has wide range of images, which constitute the large visual area that documents - for researchers and those concerned with Saudi history - pictures and scenes of Saudi life, showing the different stages of constructions and establishment of the kingdom. It also photographs the positions of the King through his interviews and meetings with a large number of historical figures from presidents, kings, ministers, ambassadors and international personalities concerned with the issues of the Arab world and the events of the Middle East.
