The defeat was East Bengal's first in the league this season, and a significant setback for a side that had conceded just one goal in its ISL campaign before this fixture, the reports said. Chennaiyin, by contrast, had scored only once in their first four league games before scoring five in a single night.

US Strikes Iran Again: Trump Confirms 'Minor' Attack Destroyed a New Air Defence System on Qeshm Island in the Strait of Hormuz

President Donald Trump said on Friday evening that the United States had carried out another round of limited strikes on Iran, destroying a newly built Iranian anti-aircraft installation on Qeshm Island in the Strait of Hormuz in 'about 15 minutes, maybe five' — the first US strikes since the Republicans' heavy defeat in Tuesday's midterm elections. Hours earlier, Iranian media had reported two missiles hitting the island's Suza area, in the report Awaaz Punjab published earlier tonight, when who fired them was not established; the exact connection between those impacts and the operation Trump described has not been independently established, and Iran has released no official damage assessment and no casualties are confirmed.
