In a major development, Russian President Vladimir Putin has openly sided with Iran, stating there's no evidence that Tehran is pursuing nuclear weapons. Citing both Russia's own findings and the IAEA's assessment, Putin declared Israel had been told this repeatedly. Meanwhile, China has urged Israel not to abuse its military power, signaling growing international resistance to further escalation. IAEA Chief Rafael Grossi confirmed there's no indication of weaponisation. These mounting global voices are expected to complicate Trump's path if he plans a direct US strike on Iran amid rising conflict.

The US Pakistan Advisory has sent shockwaves across diplomatic and global circles, as tensions between India and Pakistan escalate. The US Pakistan Advisory instructs American citizens in Lahore and Pakistan's Punjab Province to shelter in place or evacuate if safe to do so. The advisory follows reports of drone explosions, downed drones, and attempted airspace incursions near Lahore. As India launched retaliatory strikes against terror camps after the Pahalgam attack, the US Pakistan Advisory reflects Washington’s serious concern over the developing conflict. Trump’s administration has reiterated its stance: terrorism must be punished, and India has every right to defend its people.

Following the brutal terror attack on tourists in Pahalgam on April 22, the Indian Navy launched a powerful response under Operation Sindoor. Vice Admiral AN Pramod confirmed that India’s Carrier Battle Group, submarines, and air assets were deployed in full combat readiness within 96 hours. Positioned decisively in the northern Arabian Sea, Indian forces remain on high alert, capable of striking sea and land targets — including Karachi — if ceasefire violations continue. Pakistan’s naval and air units have been forced into a defensive posture, retreating to harbours under constant Indian surveillance. India’s response remains proportionate yet firm, signaling unmistakable deterrence.

A Turkish warship, TCG Büyükada, has docked in Karachi just days after the deadly Pahalgam attack, which India blamed on Pakistan. Pakistan’s navy celebrated the arrival, marking a significant step in strengthening defense ties with Turkey. While Turkey denied claims of supplying arms, it confirmed deepening naval cooperation, including submarine upgrades and military drones. This joint operation raises concerns in India as tensions continue to escalate. Global nations are urging restraint, but the timing of this move could push India towards a stronger response.
