Iran's judiciary chief warned the US of repeating "isfahan and Tabas" incidents if tensions escalate in the Persian Gulf. This warning coincides with the 46th anniversary of the failed US Operation Eagle Claw in 1980, a mission to rescue American hostages in Tehran that ended in disaster and casualties.

Iran has responded to a US ceasefire proposal through Pakistani mediators, seeking a permanent end to regional conflicts and guarantees for maritime security. President Trump rejected Tehran's position, calling it "TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE!" amid rising tensions and drone incidents in the Gulf.

Iran's regime faces deep-seated dissent, not just over the hijab, but a four-decade build-up of grievances. The 2022 Mahsa Amini protests united diverse groups, from labor unions to artists and environmentalists, across all regions. This broad awakening challenges the regime's divide-and-rule tactics, suggesting a significant shift in Iranian civil society.

As a two-month conflict with Iran escalates, cracks are appearing in the US-Israel alliance. While both nations initially targeted Tehran, their post-strike objectives diverge, with Washington seeking negotiation and Jerusalem aiming for regime change. This fundamental difference, exacerbated by past events and differing pressures, raises questions about their long-term alignment.

Helicopters have revolutionized military mobility, enabling swift troop deployment and extraction directly at targets. From early raids like Son Tay to modern operations against ISIS and the rescue of Osama Bin Laden, these versatile aircraft offer unparalleled flexibility. Despite their vulnerabilities, helicopters remain crucial for precise insertions and extractions, providing commanders with a unique tactical advantage.

Iran's enriched uranium stockpile has become a focal point in a global power contest, with the US, China, and Russia vying for influence. Tehran insists the material will not be handed over, despite US claims of an impending agreement for its recovery. This dispute highlights the complex political and strategic stakes surrounding Iran's nuclear program.

Israel's Prime Minister Netanyahu declared the nation has fulfilled its promise to prevent a second Holocaust, citing military actions against Iranian nuclear sites. He also criticized Europe's "deep moral weakness" and loss of identity. President Herzog urged global leaders to combat rising antisemitism, emphasizing national unity amidst ongoing challenges.

US President Donald Trump intensified his rhetoric on the military campaign against Iran, sharing a striking image of isfahan ablaze following Operation Epic Fury. American forces reportedly used powerful bunker-buster bombs on a large ammunition depot in the city, which also houses facilities linked to Iran's nuclear program. This follows previous strikes targeting its nuclear infrastructure.

Tensions surge as Donald Trump issues a fierce warning to Iran amidst escalating regional strikes. Meanwhile, Assam's CM faces legal threats over passport allegations, and a suspected ISIS terror module is busted across multiple states. PM Modi champions women's reservation in Bengal, while Iran declares a 'bitter defeat' for the US after a rescue mission.

Iran claims a "bitter defeat" for the US after downing a jet and a C-130, while rescuing a downed F-15 crew member. President Trump, however, hailed the operation as a "daring" rescue, showcasing US "Air Dominance." The clash escalates regional tensions, disrupting vital aid and raising fears of widespread hunger.

Iran alleges a US rescue mission for a downed F-15E crew member may have been a cover to steal enriched uranium, a claim the US dismisses as a complex, intelligence-led extraction. The operation, described as daring, occurred deep inside Iranian territory amid escalating regional conflict.
