‘No Breakthrough Achieved’ But Russia and Ukraine Agreed To Future Talks | Istanbul Talks |

Russia and Ukraine have agreed in principle to resume peace negotiations after high-level talks in Istanbul, Turkish FM Hakan Fidan confirmed.

'KILLER TRUMP': Iran BLASTS U.S President's Threats With Fire, Blames U.S For War To Sell Weapons

Iranian President Pezeshkian launched a scathing attack on President Trump and the West, accusing them of hypocrisy, genocide, and double standards. Pezeshkian criticized U.S. sanctions and threats, questioned the West's moral stance on Gaza, and accused global powers of profiting from war. He urged Muslim nations to unite independently, declaring, “This region belongs to us.” His remarks respond to Trump’s renewed threats of “maximum pressure” and claims that Iran is the “most destructive force” in West Asia. #Iran #Pezeshkian #Trump #MiddleEast #WestAsia #USIranTensions #Sanctions #GazaCrisis #DoubleStandards #Genocide #NuclearTalks #HumanRights #MiddleEastPolitics #GlobalHypocrisy #MuslimUnity #WeaponsTrade #USForeignPolicy #Israel #Gaza #TrumpThreats #IranNews #RegionalSecurity #WesternNarratives #PeaceAndJustice #Geopolitics #TrumpVsIran #MiddleEastUnity #PezeshkianSpeech #IslamicWorld #IranianPolitics #GlobalConflicts Also Read Kangana Ranaut Takes Jibe At Donald Trump, Later Deletes It - Says Did It On 'JP Nadda's Request' :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/kangana-ranaut-takes-jibe-at-donald-trump-says-deleted-post-on-jp-naddas-request-4154455.html?ref=DMDesc In Qatar, Donald Trump Once Again Claims He 'Helped Settle' India, Pakistan Tensions :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/in-qatar-donald-trump-once-again-claims-he-helped-settle-india-pakistan-tensions-4154237.html?ref=DMDesc Donald Trump Urges Apple CEO Not To Manufacture In India: 'Tim, We Are Treating You Really Good' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/donald-trump-urges-apple-ceo-not-to-manufacture-in-india-tim-we-are-treating-you-really-good-4154037.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.194~

FOUR Houthi Missile Strikes in 24 Hours Shake Israel; Iron Dome Fails to Stop ‘Palestine-2’ Barrage? [Video]

FOUR Houthi Missile Strikes in 24 Hours Shake Israel; Iron Dome Fails to Stop ‘Palestine-2’ Barrage?

Israel faced a dramatic escalation as Yemen’s Houthi rebels launched four ballistic missile attacks within 24 hours, targeting key military sites and population centers. Among the weapons used was the "Palestine-2" hypersonic missile, which reportedly struck near Tel Aviv, triggering widespread air raid sirens and panic. Though the Israeli Defense Forces claim successful interceptions, missile debris injured civilians and landed as far as a kindergarten. The Iron Dome's effectiveness is now under scrutiny as the Houthis vow more strikes and warn Muslim nations against remaining silent. Despite U.S. airstrikes in Yemen killing hundreds of militants, the Houthi barrage continues, threatening to widen the regional conflict. #HouthiMissileAttack #HouthisVsIsrael #IsraelUnderAttack #HouthiRebels #Palestine2Missile #IsraelStrikesHouthis #HouthisAttackIsrael #IsraelHouthiConflict #HouthiDroneStrike #MiddleEastTensions #YemenIsraelCrisis #IronDomeFailure #IsraelNewsUpdate #HouthiBallisticMissile #IDFResponse Also Read Immense Pressure From Families Of Hostages: Netanyahu Says Israel Has To Continue Fighting In Gaza :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/immense-pressure-from-families-of-hostages-netanyahu-says-israel-has-to-continue-fighting-in-gaza-4128785.html?ref=DMDesc Israel Detains, Deports 2 Female UK MPs; Britain Calls It 'Unacceptable, Deeply Troubling' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israel-detains-deports-2-female-uk-mps-britain-calls-it-unacceptable-deeply-troubling-4116053.html?ref=DMDesc Explainer: How Israel’s Growing Entry Restrictions Are Blocking Doctors and Aid Workers from Gaza :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/explainer-how-israels-growing-entry-restrictions-are-blocking-doctors-and-aid-workers-from-gaza-4096773.html?ref=DMDesc
