Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has made explosive allegations against the United States, claiming Washington aided Israel’s recent deadly strikes on Iranian territory, including its nuclear facilities. Citing “solid evidence,” Araghchi accused American bases in the region of facilitating the Israeli attacks and stressed that the US must accept accountability. With President Trump’s own remarks suggesting US-supplied arms enabled the strikes, Araghchi warned of consequences. He insisted Iran is exercising legitimate self-defense and stressed that Iran does not seek war—unless forced into one.

Five massive car bomb explosions rocked Tehran, Iran’s capital, just hours after Iran launched another missile salvo at Israel. Iranian media immediately blamed Israel for the coordinated attack, marking a major escalation in the regional conflict. Reports claim at least 14 Iranian nuclear scientists have been assassinated by Israeli forces since Friday. Meanwhile, Trump has called for peace talks, urging Iran and Israel to "make a deal." As the two nations trade fire and shadow attacks, fears of all-out war continue to grow across the Middle East.

President Donald Trump has threatened Apple with a 25% tariff if it continues manufacturing iPhones outside the US. In a post on Truth Social, Trump warned CEO Tim Cook that iPhones sold in America must be built domestically—not in India or elsewhere. The warning follows Cook’s recent statement that most iPhones in the US will soon originate from India. Although finished smartphones currently enjoy tariff exemptions, Trump’s aggressive trade policies may disrupt Apple’s global supply chains and cost the company nearly $900 million this quarter alone.

Donald Trump sparks a fresh controversy by opposing Apple’s iPhone manufacturing expansion in India. Speaking from Qatar, Trump revealed he told Apple CEO Tim Cook to halt plans and focus on U.S. job creation. He accused India of imposing “very high tariffs” and claimed India is now willing to drop them for a deal. This bold move could disrupt Apple’s $22 billion production pipeline in India and impact major partners like Foxconn, Tata, and Pegatron. A major blow to India’s manufacturing ambitions?

President Donald Trump has issued a broad warning to tech companies that manufacture smartphones abroad, declaring that a 25% tariff will apply not just to Apple but to any firm — including Samsung — that doesn’t shift production to the United States. Speaking to reporters, Trump emphasized fairness and announced that the new tariffs are expected to be finalized by the end of June. The move signals a dramatic escalation in his economic nationalism and could have major repercussions on global smartphone pricing and tech supply chains.

Behind the scenes of the India-Pakistan ceasefire lies calculated pressure from the United States. Relying heavily on U.S.-controlled IMF loans and military aid, Pakistan was reportedly nudged by Washington to de-escalate. The U.S. is believed to have used its sway over Pakistan’s military, intelligence ties, and influence in international forums—possibly with help from Saudi Arabia—to defuse tensions. The strategic move helped avoid a full-scale conflict, as India also agreed to the ceasefire to ensure economic stability and regional peace.

India’s powerful and precise military response under Operation Sindoor forced Pakistan to seek a ceasefire, following the brutal terror attack in Pahalgam. The Indian Army’s targeted strikes on nine terror hubs across Pakistan and PoK sent a clear message: terror will be met with force. Despite international outreach, including behind-the-scenes pressure from the U.S. reportedly linked to Pakistan’s IMF bailout, India held its ground—refusing any political dialogue or compromise. The ceasefire was brokered solely through military channels, with Pakistan’s DGMO reaching out first. Indian officials have reiterated: any future provocation will cross a red line.
