U2 surprised fans with 'Days of Ash,' an EP led by 'American Obituary,' dedicated to 37-year-old Renee Good, killed on January 7 when ICE agent Jonathan Ross fired at her SUV during raids targeting undocumented immigrants.

Reza Pahlavi urged U.S. intervention at the Munich Security Conference, while Senator Lindsey Graham warned the regime's end is weeks away and wore a 'Make Iran Great Again' hat in Tel Aviv.

Bukayo Saka opened the scoring early with a header from Martinelli's lay-off, and Piero Hincapie made it 2-0 soon after halftime, but Hugo Bueno pulled one back and debutant Tom Edozie leveled in the 90+4th minute via Riccardo Calafiori's own goal.
