Congress Leader Mocks Tharoor For Hailing 2016 Uri Strike | 'Super Spokesperson Of The BJP' Says Raj

Congress MP Shashi Tharoor has triggered intra-party backlash over comments made in Panama about India's cross-border military actions. Tharoor stated that the 2016 Uri strike was India’s first-ever breach of the LoC for a surgical strike, drawing criticism for seemingly ignoring past Congress-led operations. He later clarified that his remarks were twisted by “zealots,” emphasizing he was only referring to reprisals for terror attacks. Congress leaders, including Udit Raj, slammed Tharoor—sarcastically suggesting he join the BJP as their “super spokesperson,” intensifying the controversy. #ShashiTharoor #Congress #PanamaRemarks #SurgicalStrikes #IndiaPakistan #UriStrike #CrossBorderStrike #LOC #TharoorControversy #PoliticalRow #UditRaj #CongressVsTharoor #BJP #ModiGovt #IndianArmy #IndianPolitics #NationalSecurity #PanamaEvent #TharoorStatement #LoC #KargilWar #TerrorStrike #PoliticalDrama #BJPVsCongress #Clarification #BreakingNews #IndianDiplomacy #Zealots #MediaTwist #TharoorVsCongress Also Read Savarkar Kin Requests Access to Book Cited by Rahul Gandhi in Defamation Case :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/savarkar-kin-seeks-access-to-book-cited-by-rahul-011-4166579.html?ref=DMDesc Loose Cannon?

Iran Top Islamic Cleric Issues FATWA Against Trump & Netanyahu Calls Them 'Enemy Of God'

Iran’s top Shiite cleric, Grand Ayatollah Naser Makarem Shirazi, has issued a fatwa against Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu, declaring them "enemies of God and Islam." Labeling them mohareb—those who wage war against God—he warned that under Islamic law, such individuals face severe punishments. The fatwa forbids Muslim support for the U.S. or Israel and calls for global Islamic unity to resist Western aggression. Issued after a deadly 12-day war, the decree intensifies Iran’s religious-political stance amid the fragile ceasefire. #Iran #Fatwa #Trump #Netanyahu #AyatollahShirazi #Mohareb #EnemiesOfGod #USIsraelTensions #IslamicUnity #IranWar #MiddleEastCrisis #ReligiousDecree #ShiiteCleric #IranLeadership #Ceasefire #12DayWar #IranIsraelConflict #IranUSRelations #IslamicLaw #Haram #PoliticalFatwa #BreakingNews #IranNews #GlobalTensions #ReligiousRuling #FightForGod Also Read Top Iranian Cleric Declares Fatwa Against Donald Trump, Netanyahu :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/top-iranian-cleric-declares-fatwa-against-donald-trump-netanyahu-7786905.html?ref=DMDesc Iran Casts Doubt on Israel's Ceasefire Commitment, Warns of Retaliation :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/iran-casts-doubt-on-israels-ceasefire-commitment-warns-of-retaliation-011-7786853.html?ref=DMDesc Stop Disrespectful Tone Towards Khamenei If Trump Wants Deal: Iran Tells US :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/stop-disrespectful-tone-towards-khamenei-if-trump-wants-deal-iran-tells-us-011-7785407.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.178~GR.125~

Gaza Breaking: Israel Accused of Firing on Starving Civilians |UN Slams Aid Blockade, Demands Action [Video]

Gaza Breaking: Israel Accused of Firing on Starving Civilians |UN Slams Aid Blockade, Demands Action

More than 580 Palestinians have been killed and over 4,200 injured while standing in line for humanitarian aid in Gaza, according to the latest data from the Gaza Media Office. Eyewitness reports and Israeli media reveal shocking claims that IDF soldiers were ordered to fire on unarmed, starving civilians—men, women, and children—desperate for food. The UN has condemned the US-Israel airdrop system as a “death trap”, calling it a catastrophic failure of humanitarian response. A new study, led by the University of London and Palestinian scholars, reveals that nearly 100,000 people have died since the start of Israel’s war on Gaza—most from airstrikes, many from starvation and disease. This video unpacks the systematic targeting of civilians, the crumbling infrastructure, and the global silence in the face of a growing humanitarian catastrophe. Rights groups are calling this a modern genocide.

CCTV Footage of Evin Prison Blast: 71 KILLED in Israeli STRIKE on Iranian Jail | Visitors Among Dead

Israel’s June 23 airstrike on Tehran’s infamous Evin Prison has left 71 people dead, according to Iranian judiciary spokesperson Asghar Jahangir. Among the dead were detainees, military conscripts, visiting family members, prison staff, and nearby residents. The devastating attack marks a significant escalation in Israel’s targeting strategy—shifting from military and nuclear sites to political symbols of the Iranian regime. The strike comes in the aftermath of a brutal air war between Iran and Israel, shaking the foundations of regional stability. Evin Prison, long criticized by human rights groups for its treatment of political prisoners, is now the site of mass civilian casualties. What message is Israel sending? And what comes next?

Israel Continues To Strike Gaza Amid Trump’s Ceasefire Claims | Kills 34 | UN Aid Trucks Looted

At least 34 Palestinians were killed as Israeli airstrikes ravaged Gaza late Friday into Saturday, according to health officials. Twelve of the dead were sheltering at the Palestine Stadium in Gaza City, with additional casualties reported in residential apartments and tents in Muwasi. The Gaza Health Ministry says the death toll from the war now exceeds 56,000 — more than half of them women and children. Amid the carnage, Donald Trump told reporters a Gaza ceasefire could arrive “within a week,” raising hopes as Israeli minister Ron Dermer prepares to visit Washington for talks. However, ceasefire conditions remain deadlocked, with Hamas willing to release hostages in exchange for ending the war — an offer Netanyahu refuses unless Hamas is disarmed and exiled. Meanwhile, UN aid convoys are being looted as Palestinians face starvation. Israel allowed only limited food supplies into Gaza after blocking aid for over two months. #GazaAirstrikes #IsraelGazaWar #PalestineStadiumAttack #TrumpGazaCeasefire #GazaTruce #RonDermer #GazaCrisis #UNAidLooted #GazaHostages #TrumpOnGaza #GazaCasualties #IsraelUnderFire #PalestinianDeaths #GazaFoodBlockade #CeasefireTalks #HamasHostageDeal #NetanyahuGaza #IranIsraelWarImpact #TrumpPeaceDeal #GazaWarNews Also Read Explosions Rock Tel Aviv, Haifa as Israel-Iran Conflict Reaches New High :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/explosions-rock-tel-aviv-haifa-as-israel-iran-conflict-reaches-new-high-4182705.html?ref=DMDesc Israel's Military Airstrikes Fully Disable Yemen's International Airport Amid Houthi Conflict :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israel-airstrikes-disable-yemen-international-airport-011-4145405.html?ref=DMDesc UN Peacekeepers in South Lebanon Targeted by Israeli Airstrikes Amid Escalating Hezbollah Conflict :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/un-peacekeepers-south-lebanon-israel-hezbollah-conflict-011-3958449.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~GR.124~

Netanyahu Claims Victory After Tehran Strike | Hamas Abandoned By Iran | No Backup From Tehran?

Hamas is struggling to survive in Gaza amid internal rebellions by local clans and relentless Israeli military pressure. Weakened by a loss of commanders and much of its tunnel network, the group faces growing uncertainty over continued Iranian support after key Iranian figures were targeted by Israel. With Israel backing rival tribes, Hamas fighters operate autonomously but face growing challenges maintaining control. A ceasefire is urgently needed for Hamas to regroup and suppress rogue elements. The situation exposes deep fractures within Gaza and raises questions about Hamas’s future amid shifting regional dynamics. #Hamas #GazaConflict #Israel #Iran #MiddleEast #Ceasefire #GazaCrisis #HamasRebellion #IsraelIranTensions #GazaWar #MiddleEastConflict #HamasClans #IranSupport #IsraelMilitary #GazaNews ~HT.410~ED.420~GR.124~
