Cristiano Ronaldo‘s £61million private jet left Saudi Arabia in the middle of the night in a sign that the football superstar could have fled amid escalating conflict.

Riyadh, where Ronaldo, 41, lives with partner Georgina Rodriguez and his five children, has been struck by Iranian bombs as the fighting enters a fourth day.

The US embassy in the Saudi capital was hit by two drones overnight, and Iranian state media claimed a command and staff building in Bahrain had also been destroyed.

Foreign nationals are fleeing the Middle East in their droves and details of Ronaldo’s jet travelling to Madrid emerged online.

A flight tracker shows the Bombardier Global Express plane made the almost seven-hour journey to the Spanish capital.

The luxury private jet departed at 8:00pm and arrived at almost 1:00am.

Flightradar24 shows the path Ronaldo’s jet took, flying over Egypt and the Mediterranean before hitting Spain.

The US State Department had urged Americans to leave more than a dozen Middle Eastern countries due to safety risks.

Anyone east of Egypt was told to depart and a huge number of flights destined for Riyadh overnight were seen turning back, with thousands of foreign nationals desperately trying to get away from the warzone.

In 2024, Ronaldo sold the Gulfstream G200 that he purchased for £16m in 2015 and splashed out on a new Bombardier Global Express 6500 jet worth an eye-popping £61m.

The all-black model has the capacity for up to 15 passengers, and features a number of different rooms, including a seating area with tables and sofas, a suite with a double bed, and a separate shower area.

It is customised with his logo throughout, and decals of his silhouette celebrating a goal in characteristic fashion and only last week was used by Rodriguez on a trip to Milan.

She shared a photo of the journey with her 72 million followers in Instagram, wearing a black bra.

Ronaldo, who earns an astronomical £488,000-a-day for Al-Nassr in the Saudi Pro League, is currently injured.

He was forced off during Al Nassr’s 3-1 win over Al Fahya on Saturday and there are now fears over how serious the muscle problem could be, with the World Cup fast approaching.

Regardless, Al-Nassr have had their Asian Champions League Two quarter-final clash against Al-Wasl postponed due to the escalating violence int he Middle East.

Israel and the US launched combined attacks on Iran, killing supreme leader, Ali Khamenei.

Iran has launched retaliatory strikes across the region and at present, six US service members have been killed with a further 18 injured.

Donald Trump boasted of America’s ‘virtually unlimited supply’ of weapons on Tuesday as US Central Command said it destroyed several of Iran’s military assets.

Trump made the claim after threatening retaliation against the Islamic Republic following the regime’s fiery drone strike on the US embassy in Saudi.

‘The United States Munitions Stockpiles have, at the medium and upper medium grade, never been higher or better – As was stated to me today, we have a virtually unlimited supply of these weapons,’ Trump wrote on his Truth Social website.

‘Wars can be fought ‘forever,’ and very successfully, using just these supplies.’

The president said ‘additional high grade weaponry’ is ‘stored for us in outlying countries’ but noted that ‘at the highest end, we have a good supply, but are not where we want to be.’

Trump did not elaborate, but his missive came as analysts begin raising concerns about the number of munitions America has as the campaign continues — particularly air defense missiles.

Loud explosions were heard across the Gulf cities of Dubai, Doha and Manama on Monday, while blasts were also heard in Jerusalem, with the IDF saying defence systems were operating to intercept missiles.

Several US warplanes have crashed in Kuwait but their crews have survived, according to officials.

This comes as Brits trapped in the UAE’s most populous city are awaiting evacuation, after 94,000 British citizens vacationing in the hotspot registered their contact details with the foreign office.

A host of celebrities who have moved to Dubai have shared terrified updates after getting caught up in the air attacks.

Branding it the ‘scariest, worst nights of our lives’, many spoke of how scared they were hearing the constant bangs overhead, while sheltering in their homes as the strikes rage on across the UAE.

The escalating violence is causing travel chaos and already having a massive impact across society in the Middle East.

The Asian Football Confederation released a statement confirming that matches on Tuesday and Wednesday would not go ahead.

‘In light of the developing situation in the Middle East, the Asian Football Confederation has confirmed that the AFC Champions League Elite 2025/26 Round of 16 first-leg matches in the West Region, originally scheduled for March 2-3, 2026, will now be rescheduled,’ they said.

She boarded a dream cruise — and never walked off alive. Aboard the Carnival Horizon, 18-year-old Anna Kepner — a high school senior with plans to join the Navy — was found dead in her cabin. Authorities say she was strangled by her 16-year-old stepbrother in the middle of the night. One family vacation. One locked cabin door. And a crime that shattered everything. Now grief has turned into a courtroom battle over juvenile justice, while loved ones say Anna’s final moments were spent fighting for her life. Who saw the warning signs? And how did a celebration at sea become a nightmare?

Three dead. A gunman wearing an Iranian flag shirt. And now federal agents are asking if global conflict sparked local bloodshed. The death toll in the Austin mass shooting has risen to three, after a third victim succumbed to injuries from the attack outside Buford’s Backyard Beer Garden. Police say the suspect, Ndiaga Diagne, was fatally shot by officers. Sources reveal he was wearing clothing featuring the Iranian flag and religious phrases — just one day after U.S.–Israel strikes on Iran. Now the Federal Bureau of Investigation is digging through digital evidence, background records, and thousands of hours of video to determine whether this was random violence — or something far more deliberate. Three young lives lost. More than a dozen injured. And a motive that could carry international implications. What investigators are uncovering next may change everything.

Savannah Guthrie just returned to her missing mother’s home — and the questions are only getting darker. For the first time since 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie vanished, Savannah Guthrie was seen back at the Tucson property, laying flowers beside a growing tribute that reads: “Let Nancy Come Home.” Investigators say blood was found on the porch. The Federal Bureau of Investigation released footage of a masked man at her door the night she disappeared. Nearby cameras captured a dozen vehicles passing around that same time. The Pima County Sheriff’s Department won’t say if any of those vehicles are connected — only that detectives are reviewing hundreds of hours of video. Now the home has been returned to the family. “No Trespassing” signs are up. So what really happened that night?
