‘There will be NO calm’ | Israel issues a CHILLING Warning after MASSIVE strikes on Beirut

Israel's Defense Minister Israel Katz has threatened further strikes on Lebanon unless Hezbollah disarms, following recent airstrikes on Beirut’s southern suburbs. The IDF claims it targeted an Iran-backed Hezbollah drone unit, though Hezbollah denies this. Lebanon’s President Aoun condemned the attack as a breach of international law, accusing Israel of endangering civilians to make a political statement. With tensions high and ceasefire lines crossed repeatedly, Lebanon's leaders demand international action to stop what they call systematic Israeli aggression.

Houthi REVENGE Begins: Yemen has launched a “Palestine 2” hypersonic ballistic missile targeting Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv, marking a major escalation in regional tensions.

Hezbollah Warns Trump Against Bibi:Break Israel’s Stranglehold or Crumble in Middle East Full Speech

Hezbollah’s Sheikh Naim Qassem delivers a fierce warning to former U.S. President Donald Trump: unless he frees himself from Israel’s control, any hope for success in the Middle East is doomed. Resistance is not just a choice — it’s the only path to dignity, freedom, and national survival. With decades of struggle behind them, Hezbollah and its allies vow no surrender, only victory or martyrdom. Watch as they lay bare the truth about U.S. involvement, Israeli occupation, and the unbreakable spirit of Lebanon’s resistance. This is a message Washington and Tel Aviv cannot ignore. #Hezbollah #Trump #MiddleEastConflict #Resistance #Lebanon #Israel #NaimQassem #Liberation #NoSurrender #MiddleEastTensions #USForeignPolicy #FreedomFight #ResistanceMovement #VictoryOrMartyrdom #PoliticalConflict Also Read Homeland Security Deports Professor Dr. Rasha Alawieh for Supporting Hezbollah Leader :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/homeland-security-deports-professor-supporting-hezbollah-leader-011-4097539.html?ref=DMDesc Hundreds of Thousands Attend Funeral of Hezbollah Leader Hassan Nasrallah in Beirut :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/funeral-of-hezbollah-leader-hassan-nasrallah-beirut-011-4078987.html?ref=DMDesc Major World Events In 2024: Top 10 Moments That Shaped The Year! :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/major-world-events-in-2024-top-10-moments-that-shaped-the-year-global-natural-disaster-syria-4021587.html?ref=DMDesc ~PR.274~ED.103~HT.336~

Trump Lifts ‘Brytal’, ‘Crippling’ Syria Sanctions | Trump Unlocks Syria’s Economy After Years Of War

In a stunning reversal of longstanding U.S. foreign policy, former President Donald Trump has lifted key sanctions on Syria, ending years of crippling economic isolation. The move comes as part of Trump’s promised Middle East shift, following the fall of Bashar al-Assad and the rise of a new interim government in Damascus led by Ahmed al-Sharaa — a former rebel commander. The U.S. Treasury and State Department jointly announced a sweeping waiver of the Caesar Syria Civilian Protection Act, unlocking billions in potential investment and opening Syria’s oil, electricity, and financial sectors to international engagement. Secretary of State Marco Rubio declared the relief vital to restoring basic services like water, energy, and sanitation. #SyriaSanctions #TrumpSyria #SanctionsLifted #TrumpMiddleEast #USForeignPolicy #SyriaNews #TrumpNews #DonaldTrump #SyriaCrisis #TrumpAdministration #AssadFall #Damascus #HTS #PostWarSyria #MiddleEastPolitics #CaesarAct #SanctionsRelief #USPolicyShift #BreakingNews #HistoricMove Also Read Lebanon and Syria Agree to Ceasefire Following Two Days of Border Clashes :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/lebanon-syria-ceasefire-agreement-border-clashes-011-4097569.html?ref=DMDesc Why Is New Syrian Regime Hunting Down And Killing Alawites Amid Escalating Sectarian Violence In Country? :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/why-is-new-syrian-regime-hunting-down-and-killing-alawites-amid-escalating-sectarian-violence-in-cou-4090547.html?ref=DMDesc Syria On Boil: Over 1,000 Dead As Alawite Minority Targeted In 'Revenge Killings' By Current Regime :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/syria-on-boil-over-1-000-dead-as-alawite-minority-targeted-in-revenge-killings-by-current-regime-4090369.html?ref=DMDesc

Rotherham Elects British-Pakistani Mayor even as Grooming gangs scandal still haunts town

Rotherham, a UK town infamous for the grooming gang scandal involving predominantly British-Pakistani men, has appointed Rukhsana Ismail—a British-Pakistani woman—as mayor. Though chosen by council members, not public vote, the move sparked backlash online. Critics argue it's insensitive to victims, calling it a "cruel twist" and accusing the UK of cultural erasure. Others defend Ismail’s appointment as merit-based and unrelated to past crimes. The controversy reignites debates around identity, justice, and Islamophobia in a deeply fractured political climate. #Rotherham #RukhsanaIsmail #UKPolitics #GroomingGangs #Islamophobia #ChildExploitation #BritishPakistani #RotherhamMayor #CulturalDebate #VictimsJustice #OnlineBacklash #EthnicRepresentation #UKNews #IdentityPolitics #ControversialAppointment #RotherhamScandal #SocialMediaDebate #PoliticalControversy #UnityOrDivision #BritishIdentity #MayorDebate #ScandalLegacy #MulticulturalUK #UKRacism #SexualExploitation #PublicOutcry #PoliticalRepresentation ~HT.318~

Trump has ridiculed climate activist Greta Thunberg’s recent claim that she was “kidnapped” by Israeli forces during a pro-Palestine protest in the West Bank. In a fiery post on Truth Social, Trump dismissed Thunberg’s account as “dramatic nonsense,” suggesting she should “focus on the weather” instead of staging political theatre. He went further, reviving his past jibes by saying she “still needs anger management and a good old-fashioned chill pill.” #GretaThunberg #TrumpVsGreta #GretaThunbergSpeech #TrumpMocksGreta #GretaInGaza #DonaldTrump #GretaThunbergInterview #ThunbergTrumpClash #GretaThunbergParents #GretaThunbergProtest #GretaVsTrump #GretaThunbergShip #TrumpOnGreta #GretaThunbergNews #GretaTrumpDrama Also Read Protests Intensify In Los Angeles After Trump Deploys Hundreds Of National Guard Troops :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/protests-intensify-in-los-angeles-after-trump-deploys-hundreds-of-national-guard-troops-4175915.html?ref=DMDesc Greta Thunberg’s Gaza Aid Mission Blocked By Israel Amid Naval Standoff :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/greta-thunberg-s-gaza-aid-mission-blocked-by-israel-amid-naval-standoff-4175697.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Warns Musk Against Supporting Democrats: 'Serious Consequences If He Does That' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-warns-musk-against-supporting-democrats-serious-consequences-if-he-does-that-4175377.html?ref=DMDesc
