Donald Trump has sparked fresh controversy by claiming the Ukraine-Russia war wouldn’t have happened if Russia remained in the G-8. In a bold statement, Trump called Russia’s removal “a big mistake” and blamed former U.S. President Barack Obama and former Canadian PM Justin Trudeau for pushing Moscow out. He argued that sidelining Russia has only made global diplomacy harder. Trump's remarks reignite debate over Russia’s G-8 expulsion after Crimea’s annexation and its broader impact on global peace and Western alliances.

In a dramatic escalation, Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthis launched hypersonic ballistic missiles targeting Tel Aviv’s sensitive military and civilian sites. The coordinated assault followed Iran’s mass missile salvo, with Houthi forces confirming that "Palestine 2" missiles struck central Israel’s Jaffa region. Israel had earlier bombed a top Houthi commander in Yemen. The Houthis declared solidarity with Gaza and Iran, vowing more strikes unless Israel ends the siege. The assault marks the first direct Houthi attack inside Israeli territory, further escalating regional tensions and drawing in Iran's proxy networks.

The U.S. has reportedly deployed over 30 aerial refueling tankers toward the Middle East, sparking major speculation of direct military involvement in the Israel-Iran war. While Trump insists the U.S. wasn’t involved in the Israeli airstrikes on Iran, flight tracking data and intelligence reports suggest otherwise. These KC-135 and KC-46 tankers may support Israeli or U.S. combat jets. Tensions are escalating, and experts fear wider regional fallout. Iran, meanwhile, has warned of targeting U.S. bases if attacks continue. Is America preparing for deeper combat?

Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has made explosive allegations against the United States, claiming Washington aided Israel’s recent deadly strikes on Iranian territory, including its nuclear facilities. Citing “solid evidence,” Araghchi accused American bases in the region of facilitating the Israeli attacks and stressed that the US must accept accountability. With President Trump’s own remarks suggesting US-supplied arms enabled the strikes, Araghchi warned of consequences.

India has refused to endorse the SCO's strong condemnation of Israel’s military strikes on Iran, signalling a diplomatic divergence within the Eurasian bloc. While China, Russia, and others denounced Israel’s actions, New Delhi maintained a neutral stance—underscoring its strategic balancing act between Iran and Israel. As India deepens its defence ties with Israel and economic interests with Iran, experts say New Delhi is trying to avoid choosing sides amid Trump’s sanctions, escalating tensions, and looming global instability.
