Seven Headlines from November 13, 2026

Iran Claims a Radar Strike in Bahrain 📡

Iran said it destroyed an early-warning radar in Bahrain, presenting the action as retaliation for a United States strike on telecommunications infrastructure at Sirik. Türkiye Today carried the claim; independent confirmation of the reported damage was not available in the draft sources.

The wording matters because this was an assertion by a party to the conflict, not a settled finding. The item is therefore retained with attribution rather than polished into certainty.

Dolly Parton’s Final Duet Reaches Listeners 🎙️

U2 released Torn, a duet pairing Bono with the late Dolly Parton, on the album Carnaval De Luz. CNN described it as her last recording, issued after her death in August.

The track is both a new U2 release and a posthumous final performance. That double billing already carries enough weight; it does not need a generic “what this means for music” paragraph wearing a borrowed black hat.

Transport and Construction Disasters Kill Dozens 🚨

Near New Orleans, a tanker and the cruise vessel American Heritage struck each other on the Mississippi River; the latter carried 130 people and sank as rescue operations began, according to CNN.

An Al Jazeera report said a bus–truck collision in Golaghat, Assam, killed 24 people and injured 11. A partial collapse at a Nairobi construction project killed six people and injured five, Xinhua reported.

FAA Disruption and a UK Investigation Develop ✈️

The Federal Aviation Administration ordered aircraft throughout the United States to remain on the ground, citing “extraordinary circumstances.” The contemporaneous item is preserved through Axios; the draft did not establish a fuller cause.

London’s Metropolitan Police announced a criminal investigation concerning David Walliams and alleged serious sexual offences. BBC News reported that police distinguished it from earlier media inquiries. The allegations remain under investigation.
