“He looks terrible like”—Trump Blasts India-born 'Socialist Muslim' Zohran Mamdani | NYC Mayrol Poll

Donald Trump has launched a scathing personal attack on Zohran Mamdani — the 33-year-old Indian-origin socialist who just won New York City's Democratic mayoral primary. Calling him a "100% communist lunatic" with a "grating voice" and “terrible looks,” Trump didn't hold back. The president also lashed out at progressive Democrats like AOC and Chuck Schumer for backing Mamdani, warning that NYC is "falling to socialism." Who is Zohran Mamdani? Can a Marxist win New York? And why is Trump going nuclear over this primary upset?

Muslim World to DITCH Iran when World War III begins? Muslim World League CONDEMNS strikes on Qatar [Video]

Muslim World to DITCH Iran when World War III begins? Muslim World League CONDEMNS strikes on Qatar

The Muslim World League has strongly condemned Iran’s strikes on U.S. bases in Qatar, calling them a blatant violation of Islamic values. This rare rebuke underscores Iran’s deepening isolation within the Muslim world amid its war against the U.S. and Israel. No Islamic nation has come to Iran’s aid—militarily or diplomatically. Long criticized for its expansionist policies and use of proxies, Iran now finds itself increasingly abandoned as regional powers step back, signaling a collapse of strategic tolerance. #IranIsolated #MuslimWorldLeague #IranStrikesQatar #MiddleEastCrisis #IranUSConflict #IranIsraelWar #MWLCondemnsIran #IslamicWorldResponse #ProxyWarFailure #TehranAlone #RegionalRealignment #NoSupportForIran #GulfSecurity #MiddleEastTensions #Hezbollah #Houthis #IranianAggression #QatarAttack #USBaseAttack #IranExpansionism #IslamicUnity #Geopolitics #AyatollahRegime #TehranMissteps #BreakingNews ~ED.194~HT.408~GR.124~

'Dumb Fomer Presidents Failed!: JD Vance Defends Trump’s Iran Strikes | Iran-Israel Conflict

U.S. Vice President JD Vance has sparked global backlash by justifying President Trump’s strikes on Iran, declaring past leaders were “dumb” and lacked vision. “This war is justified,” Vance claimed, as Tehran reels from coordinated U.S.-Israel attacks. His remarks come amid widespread condemnation from China, Russia, and the Muslim world. Critics call the statement a green light for unprovoked warfare. With Tehran vowing retaliation, Vance’s blunt rhetoric adds fuel to an already volatile situation, while painting the U.S. escalation as necessary and “smart.” #JDVanceSpeech #TrumpIranWar #IranConflict #USIranEscalation #MiddleEastWar #IranRetaliation #ProIranCoverage#TehranUnderAttack #SmartWarComment #VanceIranJustification #USIsraelAlliance #GlobalBacklash #IranStrikesBack #DumbPresidentsRemark #TrumpMiddleEast #IranRights #IranianSovereignty #AntiWarMovement #TehranCrisis #VicePresidentVance #IranCondemnsUS

Pak BETRAYS ‘Brother’ Iran | ‘No Such Commitment’ | Pak on Iran’s ‘tit-fot’tat’ nuclear attack claim

Pakistan has denied claims that it would launch a nuclear strike on Israel if Iran were attacked. Defence Minister Khawaja Asif clarified that Pakistan’s nuclear capability is strictly for national defense—not for hegemonic agendas. This comes after Iranian official Mohsen Rezaei claimed Islamabad had promised nuclear retaliation on Iran’s behalf. While Pakistan maintains strategic ties with Iran and urges Muslim unity against Israel, it has clearly distanced itself from any nuclear involvement, warning the West of Israel’s unchecked nuclear might. #Pakistan #Iran #IsraelIranWar #NuclearStrike #MiddleEastCrisis #KhawajaAsif #MohsenRezaei #PakistanIranTies #IsraelTensions #StrategicDenial #NuclearPolicy #GlobalSecurity #BreakingNews #MuslimUnity #IsraelStrikes #NuclearDeterrence #PakDefence #IsraelConflict #Tehran #Islamabad #MiddleEastNews #Geopolitics #IranPakistan #NuclearThreat #PakRebutsIran #IsraelWar #PakistaniPolitics Also Read Khawaja Asif: Pakistan Made ‘No Such Commitment’ To Iran On Israel Nuclear Strike :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/khawaja-asif-pakistan-made-no-such-commitment-to-iran-on-israel-nuclear-strike-4183025.html?ref=DMDesc Iran: Pakistan Will Launch Nuclear Attack If Israel Strikes With Nukes :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/iran-pakistan-will-launch-nuclear-attack-if-israel-strikes-with-nukes-4182787.html?ref=DMDesc Missiles In The Sky, Music On The Roof: Viral Videos Show Beirut Partying Amid Israel-Iran Strikes :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/missiles-in-the-sky-music-on-the-roof-viral-videos-show-beirut-partying-amid-israel-iran-strikes-4182745.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.103~GR.124~
