From Checkpoint, 5:08 pm today

Attacks have continued to escalate on both sides of the Middle East conflict. The U.S. embassy in Saudi Arabia's capital Riyadh has been hit by two drones. President Trump says people will soon find out how America will retaliate. It comes as Iran continues to strike Gulf states that host U.S. military. New Zealand is not immune, with exports to Gulf Co-operation council countries valued at almost $3 billion in 2025. Trade and Associate Foreign Affairs Minister Todd McClay spoke to Lisa Owen.
