The Icelandic Department of Emergency Management said on Saturday it had declared a state of emergency on the Reykjanes Peninsula and ordered the evacuation of the population in the coastal town of Grindavik due to high seismic activity and a subsequent volcanic eruption threat. 

The Reykjanes Peninsula, where the world-famous geothermal spa Blue Lagoon is located, has been hit by several earthquakes starting from late October, with the recent strong quakes registered on Wednesday. The seismic activity has led to magma accumulating under the town with the possibility of reaching the surface, the Icelandic Meteorological Office said. 

“The Department of Civil Protection and Emergency Management has declared an Emergency/Distress Phase on the Reykjanes peninsula, due to increased seismic activity. All residents of Grindavik are obliged to evacuate the town,” the department said on X.

The efficiency of the Oxford-AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine has been questioned by claimants lodging a suit with the High Court who have branded it “defective” in newly released documents.

A test case has been brought to the court by Jamie Scott, a father of two who claims to have suffered a brain injury resulting from a clot after he received the jab in 2021.

In court documents, the father states the injury has left him unable to work, and he alleges the jab’s efficacy was “vastly overstated”.

He is joined by the widower and two young children of Alpa Tailor, who have lodged a second claim after the mum died aged 35 from blood clots following a dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine.

Together, the cases could pave the way for up to £80million of payouts from 80 different claims of vaccine-induced Immune Thrombocytopenia and Thrombosis (VITT).

US President Joe Biden has ordered an airstrike against a weapons depot in Syria that is allegedly used by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and affiliated groups, marking Washington’s latest response to drone and rocket attacks on its bases in the region.

Two US F-15 fighter jets carried out the latest airstrike on Wednesday in eastern Syria, the Pentagon said in a statement. The US had launched strikes in the same region on October 26 against Iranian-backed militant groups that Washington has blamed for attacks on its bases.

Illegal US outposts in Syria and military bases Iraq have been attacked at least 38 times since October 17, reflecting rising tensions in the region amid the Israel-Hamas war. Tehran has repeatedly warned that various regional forces won’t sit idle and and that “new fronts” will be opened, if Washington continues to support Israel in its bombing of Gaza.

Many people in Lebanon are anxiously awaiting the speech, rattled for weeks by fear of a catastrophic conflict. Some have said they are not making plans beyond Friday, believing his remarks will signal the chances of escalation.

The speech will also be avidly watched outside of Lebanon, as Nasrallah is a leading voice in the informal alliance known as the “Axis of Resistance”, led by Iran to counter the influence of the United States and Israel.
