Steelers GM Khan to Attend Ohio State Pro Day as Draft Buzz Grows

Steelers general manager Omar Khan is expected to attend Ohio State's Pro Day, with coordinators Brian Angelichio and Patrick Graham also on site, as Pittsburgh continues its Pro Day scouting ahead of the draft. Ohio State is home to several projected first‑rounders the Steelers could target, including Sonny Styles, Caleb Downs, Carnell Tate and Kayden McDonald, among others. Khan’s appearance follows a Georgia Pro Day stop, and OSU staff ties (notably former Steelers coach Arthur Smith now OSU's OC) add intrigue around potential trades or selections, though McCarthy’s attendance remains uncertain.

Britain pulls out ambassador and staff from Tehran amid rising Iran tensions

Britain evacuated its ambassador and all embassy personnel from Iran, temporarily closing the Tehran mission and moving operations online due to security concerns as tensions with Iran rise and the U.S. weighs possible strikes; the move followed the U.S. evacuation from its Al Udeid base, the UK updated travel guidance, and ministers signaled continued sanctions pressure while keeping allied options open.

The change aimed to improve security but faced criticism for potentially forcing vulnerable populations to visit field offices, and the agency has now stated the PIN use is not compulsory.
