The blast, which struck a residential area in the Iranian capital, has triggered serious questions about whether Kharazi was the intended target or simply caught in a wider airstrike. Early reports from CNN and Mehr News Agency indicate that the senior adviser sustained severe injuries, though details about his condition remain tightly under wraps. The strike comes amid growing claims by Trump that key Iranian leadership figures are being systematically targeted. WATCH... [Read More]
02 April,2026 03:36 PM ISTPresident Donald Trump has set a strict 2-3 week exit deadline for the US military in Iran, signaling a potential end to the month-long conflict. The announcement links the rapid withdrawal to falling domestic fuel prices, reflecting a dual strategy of military disengagement and economic stabilization. Trump emphasized that the war could conclude with or without a diplomatic agreement, asserting that the United States has achieved its primary objectives, including the significant degradation of Iran’s nuclear and military capabilities. 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....

27 March,2026 10:53 PM ISTThe Pentagon has denied reports of sending 10,000 additional combat troops to West Asia, but new reports suggest Washington is reviewing major military buildup options amid escalating tensions with Iran. Officials say the deployment would provide more military flexibility if diplomatic talks collapse. The Wall Street Journal reports that the potential force could include infantry and armored units, adding to thousands of U.S. Marines already deployed in the region. At the same time, the Pentagon is studying “final blow” scenarios including a massive bombing campaign and possible ground assault.... [Read More]
27 March,2026 10:52 PM ISTDonald Trump has pushed for a dramatic change to one of America’s oldest financial traditions, the US dollar. For the first time in history, a sitting US president’s name is set to appear on official American currency, replacing a long-standing practice that dates back to 1861. The White House has backed the decision, with Treasury officials, including Scott Bessent, defending it as a symbolic step ahead of the United States’ 250th anniversary. Supporters within the MAGA camp are calling it a bold assertion of leadership and national identity, a mark of economic strength and political dominance. But critics aren’t holding back. Across social media and political circles, the move is being labelled as unprecedented, with accusations of self-promotion and concerns over breaking institutional norms. WATCH... [Read More]
27 March,2026 06:25 PM ISTThe United States is reportedly considering diverting air defence missiles originally meant for Ukraine to the Middle East as the Iran war rapidly drains American stockpiles. Patriot and THAAD interceptors funded under NATO’s Ukraine program could now be redirected to defend US and allied assets in the Gulf. The Pentagon is facing a staggering burn rate, with billions spent in weeks and missile consumption far exceeding production capacity. Reports suggest hundreds of interceptors were fired in just days, putting pressure on already stretched inventories. Washington has also requested a massive supplemental budget to replenish missile stocks, signaling a potential shift in US military priorities from Ukraine to the Middle East conflict.... [Read More]

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has issued a direct and forceful warning to the United States and Israel against any ground incursion into Iranian territory, signaling that such a move would trigger overwhelming resistance. In a strongly worded message, the IRGC urged American citizens not to “send their children to war,” accusing political leadership of pushing narratives that could lead to devastating consequences. The warning comes as Washington weighs expanding its military presence in the region, with reports suggesting that elements of the 82nd Airborne Division could be deployed amid the growing crisis.
