US concerned about Bangladesh minorities, will defeat 'Islamist terror' globally: Tulsi Gabbard
Tuesday, 18 March 2025 US intelligence chief Tulsi Gabbard expressed concerns about persecution of minorities in Bangladesh and the global threat of Islamist terrorism. In a meeting with India's Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, she discussed the strategic security partnership and Singh urged the US to designate Sikhs For Justice as a terrorist organization.
Tulsi Gabbard's recent remarks about violence against minorities in Bangladesh have sparked controversy. While Bangladesh’s interim government strongly rejected her claims, Gabbard also spoke about strengthening India-U.S. ties, defending Trump’s 'America First' policy. Here's a quick breakdown...
President Trump has publicly rebuked Intelligence Chief Tulsi Gabbard’s claim that Iran is not currently building a nuclear weapon, declaring that Tehran could assemble a bomb within weeks. Trump, citing fresh intelligence, emphasized Iran’s advanced nuclear capability and warned that a final decision on bombing Iran’s Fordow site could come within two weeks. Gabbard later clarified her March testimony, admitting Iran now has the materials to quickly build a weapon. The White House says diplomacy is possible, but time is rapidly running out.

Israel has expanded its air campaign to southern Iran, striking the Arak reactor to clear a path toward the fortified Fordow nuclear site. The IDF claims half of Iran’s missile launchers have been destroyed, with UAVs and jets executing rapid “stand-on” strikes. With radars and defenses south of Tehran neutralized, Israel is intensifying operations for full air dominance. Meanwhile, 14 cargo planes—reportedly from the U.S. and Germany—have delivered undisclosed military aid as tensions escalate following a cluster missile strike in Tel Aviv.

Bangladesh interim leader Muhammad Yunus claims he asked Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to block Sheikh Hasina’s online speeches — but Modi refused, saying, “It’s social media, you can’t control it.”
Yunus, who now leads Bangladesh after Hasina’s ouster, made this revelation during a talk at Chatham House in London.
As Hasina continues to address the Bangladeshi public from India, tensions rise, with Yunus accusing her of stirring unrest.
Meanwhile, Yunus’ own anti-India remarks and outreach to China have alarmed New Delhi.
Is Bangladesh heading into deeper turmoil? And is India taking a firm stand on digital freedom?
