NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Britain raised its national terror threat level to «severe» on Thursday in the wake of the antisemitic stabbing attack in Golders Green, warning that another terrorist attack is now considered «highly likely» in the next six months.
The Joint Terrorism Analysis Centre (JTAC) increased the U.K. National Threat Level from «substantial» to «severe» a day after two people were stabbed in north London in what police have formally declared a terrorist incident.
Officials said the decision was not based solely on the Golders Green attack, but reflects a broader rise in extreme right-wing terrorism in Britain.
Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood called Wednesday’s violence an «abhorrent, antisemitic attack» and said the elevated threat level would be a source of concern for many, «particularly amongst our Jewish community, who have suffered so much.»

Police said officers were called to Highfield Avenue in the Barnet borough at about 11:16 a.m. Wednesday following reports of multiple stabbings.
Two men, ages 76 and 34, were treated at the scene for stab wounds before being taken to a hospital, where they remain and are «being looked after,» Assistant Commissioner Laurence Taylor said.
On Thursday, police identified the suspect as 45-year-old Essa Suleiman. Suleiman is a British national born in Somalia who had a «history of serious violence and mental health issues», police say.

The Home Office said the threat-level increase comes against a backdrop of rising terrorism in the U.K.
On Thursday, protesters gathered on Downing Street to voice concerns that not enough has been done to protect the Jewish community.
In response to the attack and a recent rise of antisemitic arson attacks in London, the government announced an additional £25 million in funding to protect Jewish communities, bringing total support this year to £58 million. Officials said the money will be used to boost police patrols and protective security at synagogues, schools and community centers.

The funding will also support an expansion of Project Servator, which deploys specialist and plainclothes officers trained to spot suspicious behavior and identify people preparing to commit serious crimes.
Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar said the British government cannot credibly claim to be combating antisemitism unless it also confronts what he described as «explicit incitement against the Jewish state.»
«Hate slogans and anti-Semitic marches in the streets of London aren’t ‘free speech’. They are incitement,» he wrote on X. «They bring terror directed against Jews.
They must be banned. The phrase ‘Globalise the Intifada’, means killing Jews everywhere. It must be banned.»
«This is what the British government must immediately do to fight antisemitism. Otherwise, it’s just more empty words.»

Taylor said the attack has now been formally classified as terrorism and that counterterrorism officers are working with security services to establish the full circumstances and develop a complete intelligence picture.
«Whilst I must stress this investigation is at an early stage, we are working quickly to understand exactly what happened,» Taylor said.

A statement posted on X by Shomrim, a volunteer neighborhood watch group in Orthodox Jewish communities, said the suspect was seen «armed with a knife» on Golders Green Road and was detained by members before police arrived.
Detective Chief Superintendent Luke Williams said officers «swiftly Tasered and arrested the suspect before he could cause further harm,» adding that investigators are «considering all possible motives» and will maintain a visible police presence in the area.

The U.K. was last at the «severe» threat level in November 2021, following the Liverpool Women’s Hospital bombing and the killing of lawmaker Sir David Amess, before it was lowered to «substantial» in February 2022.

WATCH: Dem gov mocked for criticizing ‘tribal’ politics amid redistricting push: ‘Hypocrisy knows no bounds’
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Maryland Democratic Gov. Wes Moore is facing criticism for condemning rising «tribal» politics while continuing to push a redistricting effort that opponents say would eliminate the state’s sole Republican congressional seat.
Moore, a rising Democratic star who is being floated as a possible 2028 presidential candidate, gave an Independence Day speech in which he described American history as «powerful,» «painful» and «complex.»
Speaking in the Maryland State House, where George Washington resigned his military commission in 1783, Moore proclaimed that «too many feel that our politics has become tribal, that our political system once felt like a gift, but the politics of today feel like a grift.»
In response, Haven Shoemaker, the top state attorney for Maryland’s Carroll County, remarked to Fox News Digital that «Gov. Moore is proof positive that hypocrisy knows no bounds.»

«On the basis of what you would have to characterize as tribalism, he is going to convene a special session of the Maryland General Assembly to redistrict Maryland’s only Republican congressman out of office. Sounds like tribalism to me,» said Shoemaker.
Maryland General Assembly leaders announced they will meet for a special session beginning on Aug. 3 to consider a constitutional amendment on congressional redistricting, affiliate Fox 45 reported. The special session follows months of pressure from Moore and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., on Maryland Democrats to advance a congressional redistricting plan that would likely eliminate the state’s lone Republican-held district.
The earlier effort to pass the redistricting bill had fizzled out largely due to Maryland Senate President Bill Ferguson, a Democrat who called the proposed map «objectively unconstitutional» and expressed his worry that «the downside risk to Democrats is catastrophic.»
Afterward, Moore notably did not endorse Ferguson in his primary race despite the senator being one of the highest-ranking Democrats in the state.
After the special session announcement, Moore said in a statement that «for months, I have said that inaction is not an option and we cannot sit on the sidelines while voting rights, fair representation, and the foundations of our democracy come under attack across the country.»

«I appreciate the General Assembly’s continued conversations and the agreement to come back to finish the work,» he said, adding, «My administration will work closely with the General Assembly as they consider legislation to ensure our state has the tools necessary to protect voters and defend fair representation.»
Meanwhile, Shoemaker, who previously served nine years in the Maryland House of Delegates, even holding the role of minority whip, accused Moore of being caught up in national politics while Marylanders are «fleeing in droves.»
«His record as governor is abysmal,» he said, adding, «Since he became governor, almost four years ago, all that he’s done is really tried to position himself to run for president.»
Shoemaker also took issue with Moore’s critique of American nationalism during his July 4th address.
Moore remarked that «today there are those who will use patriotism to justify pulling books from schools and rewriting history until it comforts those in power. In reality, that’s not patriotism; that’s nationalism.»
The governor continued that «nationalism is not an extension of patriotism; they are not interchangeable. There’s a difference, and that does matter.»
Shoemaker responded that «patriotism means that you love your country,» while in his view nationalism «means that your country is exceptional.»
«It’s pretty clear to me that neither Gov. Moore nor the ultra-progressives generally think that America is exceptional, and I think that’s incredibly sad,» he said.
Moore’s comment also garnered criticism from Maryland Freedom Caucus Chair Matt Morgan, a Republican, who said, «In Moore’s world, if you’re a parent concerned about explicit material in your child’s school library, you’re a nationalist. If you question the revisionist history framework of the 1619 Project and advocate for accurate, honest history, you’re not a patriot. You’re a nationalist.»
«It’s a neat rhetorical trick: reframe the terms, and suddenly anyone who disagrees with you is the villain,» said Morgan.
In a statement shared with Fox News Digital, the Maryland Freedom Caucus called Moore’s decision to convene lawmakers for a special session for redistricting «a blatant partisan effort to rewrite the Maryland Constitution so Democrats can gerrymander away Rep. Andy Harris’s seat and silence rural and conservative voices.»
«While Maryland families sit around their kitchen tables wrestling with sky-high taxes, crushing energy costs, and a cost-of-living crisis made far worse by Annapolis Democrats, Governor Wes Moore has decided now is the perfect time to call a special session,» said Morgan.
In response to the criticism, Ammar Mousa, a spokesperson for Moore, told Fox News Digital, «Why are Maryland Republicans so against patriotism?»

Shoemaker told Fox News Digital that his own county has been targeted by state leaders for «wanting to have age-appropriate material in public school libraries.»
In 2025, the Maryland State Board of Education reviewed Carroll County’s removal of 20 books from school libraries after parents argued the removals violated Maryland’s Freedom to Read Act, which was signed by Moore in 2024. The State Board ultimately upheld the county’s decision, allowing the books to remain off library shelves.
«Fighting to keep filth in public schools and public school libraries, or, you know, even revising history to make villains of Founding Fathers who have made our country great by just pointing out their flaws. That seems like moral relativism to me and revisionism at its worst,» said Shoemaker.

Shoemaker said that it is policies such as these, along with continuously «hiked taxes,» that prompted him to announce he is moving out of the state at the end of his term. He says he is not the only one calling it quits on Maryland under the current leadership.

«I’ve talked to a lot of people; most of them say that they don’t blame me a bit for fleeing Maryland, and a substantial number of those folks say that they’re right behind me,» he said.

El régimen de Irán enterró a Ali Khamenei tras la nueva escalada de enfrentamientos con Estados Unidos
El régimen de Irán dio sepultura este viernes al antiguo líder supremo, Ali Khamenei, en el santuario del Imam Reza, en la ciudad de Mashhad, al término de seis días de ceremonias fúnebres, en una jornada marcada por un nuevo intercambio de ataques entre Estados Unidos y Teherán que elevó otra vez la tensión en Medio Oriente.
El ataúd de Khamenei, cubierto con la bandera iraní, llegó al santuario del Imam Reza, en su ciudad natal, donde una multitud se reunió para participar de las oraciones y despedir al dirigente asesinado el 28 de febrero durante el inicio de la guerra entre Estados Unidos e Israel contra Irán.
La emisora estatal IRIB confirmó el final de la ceremonia y señaló que “el cuerpo del líder mártir de la Revolución Islámica fue enterrado en la sala conmemorativa del santuario del Imam Reza”.
Las imágenes difundidas por los medios oficiales mostraron la presencia del presidente del Parlamento y principal negociador en las conversaciones con Estados Unidos, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf; del presidente del Tribunal Supremo, Gholamhossein Mohseni Ejei; y de Mostafa Khamenei, hijo mayor del ex líder supremo. También se observó a varias figuras del régimen llorar junto al féretro.
En cambio, no hubo señales públicas de Mojtaba Khamenei, hijo y sucesor de Ali Khamenei, quien tampoco apareció durante los días previos del funeral. Desde que se anunció su designación, solo difundió declaraciones escritas y, según versiones oficiales, resultó herido durante los ataques del 28 de febrero.
El entierro coincidió con un segundo día consecutivo de ataques entre Washington y Teherán. Funcionarios iraníes informaron que los bombardeos estadounidenses dejaron 17 muertos. Además, los medios estatales señalaron que uno de los ataques alcanzó un tramo de la línea ferroviaria entre Teherán y Mashhad, a unos 55 kilómetros de esta última ciudad.
Según esas informaciones, el ataque obligó al cierre temporal de la línea ferroviaria y los pasajeros continuaron el viaje en autobuses. Los medios estatales también informaron que Estados Unidos atacó el perímetro de la única planta nuclear civil de Irán, en la provincia de Bushehr, de acuerdo con declaraciones del vicegobernador provincial.
Además, reportaron el impacto de un proyectil contra un cuartel general militar en las afueras de Bushehr. Sin embargo, un funcionario de Defensa de Estados Unidos afirmó que las fuerzas estadounidenses no realizaban ataques contra Irán en ese momento.
Por su parte, Irán anunció la reanudación de los ataques contra objetivos estadounidenses en Kuwait, Bahréin y Qatar. Al mismo tiempo, sonaron sirenas de alerta en Jordania, donde el ejército informó que interceptó ocho misiles lanzados desde territorio iraní.
El ejército iraní aseguró que sus fuerzas atacaron con drones un sistema de misiles Patriot en Kuwait, un sistema de alerta temprana en Qatar y depósitos de combustible en Bahréin como parte de su ofensiva contra bases militares estadounidenses en la región.
Un funcionario de Defensa de Estados Unidos sostuvo, en cambio, que las decenas de misiles y drones iraníes fueron interceptados o no provocaron daños significativos y que no hubo heridos entre el personal estadounidense.
La tensión en Medio Oriente también aumentó por nuevas declaraciones de las autoridades israelíes. El ministro de Defensa, Israel Katz, afirmó durante una ceremonia militar que Israel está preparado para atacar a Irán por “tercera vez” si fuera necesario y prometió hacerlo “con aún mayor fuerza”.
El primer ministro Benjamin Netanyahu también se refirió a la situación y afirmó: “Nos estamos preparando para cualquier escenario”. La oficina del jefe de gobierno israelí informó además que Netanyahu conversó el jueves con Trump, quien le transmitió información actualizada sobre “las acciones de Estados Unidos en el Golfo”.
Otro de los focos de tensión permanece en el estrecho de Ormuz, una de las principales rutas para el transporte mundial de petróleo y gas. Teherán insiste en mantener el control sobre esa vía marítima, mientras el paso de buques disminuyó de forma marcada desde el miércoles.
En los últimos días, el ejército iraní atacó al menos tres embarcaciones, hecho que precedió a los extensos bombardeos lanzados por Estados Unidos contra objetivos iraníes desde el martes.
De acuerdo con datos de la empresa de seguimiento marítimo Kpler, el tráfico comercial por el estrecho descendió de forma considerable, en especial sobre la ruta omaní respaldada por la ONU, después de los ataques sufridos por varios buques a comienzos de esta semana.
Como reflejo del clima de máxima tensión, al menos un avión de combate escoltó la aeronave que trasladó el féretro de Ali Khamenei hasta Mashhad, según mostraron imágenes publicadas en el sitio web del líder supremo.
