01 April,2026 08:16 PM ISTIran’s political landscape is witnessing a sharp and unusual shift as the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) moves to consolidate control across key state functions. What began as a wartime adjustment is now evolving into a deeper power struggle, one that is raising serious questions about who truly holds authority in Tehran. At the center of this unfolding crisis is President Masoud Pezeshkian, who is facing mounting resistance from within the system. Adding another layer of intrigue are growing questions surrounding Mojtaba Khamenei’s position and influence within the power structure. Reports suggest that established channels of approval are being disrupted, with an IRGC-backed framework stepping in to dominate critical decision-making processes. WATCH... [Read More]

According to official statements, Iran’s defense systems and naval assets have been substantially weakened, and the leadership in Tehran is under pressure, potentially prompting a shift in power structures....

01 April,2026 04:40 PM ISTTrump has slowed down immediate military action in the Strait of Hormuz, opting instead for a calculated exit strategy while allowing Iran temporary operational control of the vital trade route.

31 March,2026 04:04 PM ISTA major forensic twist has shaken the investigation into the murder of Charlie Kirk, as newly revealed ballistic evidence raises serious questions about the prosecution’s case against Tyler Robinson. According to fresh analysis, the bullet recovered from the crime scene does not match the rifle allegedly linked to Robinson, a development that could fundamentally alter the direction of the case. The findings, reportedly backed by ATF examination, challenge one of the most critical pillars of the prosecution’s argument. As doubts grow, the defence has moved to delay the preliminary hearing, citing incomplete forensic data, unresolved DNA inconsistencies and the sheer volume of evidence still under review. At the same time, investigators are examining a series of alleged messages and a reported three-hour journey tied to the suspect, suggesting a possible premeditated angle. However, without a clear ballistic link, the narrative faces mounting scrutiny. WATCH... [Read More]
