Science and technology news today sits uneasily between conflict, connectivity and coexistence. In the Gulf, the sharpest development is military rather than scientific: Iran says it has struck U.S. sites in Bahrain and Kuwait with missiles and drones after renewed American attacks, while U.S. forces report counterstrikes tied to shipping security, deepening fears for an already fragile ceasefire. By contrast, SpaceX-linked satellite tech is moving into everyday life, with Fi’s new Starlink-enabled pet tracker promising nationwide coverage by switching from LTE to direct-to-cell service when dogs wander beyond terrestrial networks. Industrial innovation is also in focus, as China’s HSG Laser unveils a heavy-duty tube-cutting machine aimed at handling a wide range of sizes. And in Gujarat, a stark reminder that human interaction with the natural world remains precarious, as fatal lion attacks force villages to rethink a long-celebrated model of coexistence.
