IndiaTimes Friday, 16 May 2025
J&K CM Omar Abdullah's push to restart the Tulbul Navigation Project amid Indus Water Treaty discussions sparked a feud with PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti, who accused him of "weaponising water." The leaders clashed over patriotism and regional interests, with accusations of being pro-Pakistan. The project, stalled since 1987 due to Pakistani objections, aims to aid winter power generation.

PDP Leader Mehbooba Mufti Thanks Donald Trump for India-Pakistan Ceasefire: ‘So Many People Died…’

In a striking statement, PDP leader and former Jammu & Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti has thanked Donald Trump for mediating the India-Pakistan ceasefire, calling it a crucial step—but one that came too late. “So many people died... this should have happened earlier,” she said, reflecting the sorrow and frustration of civilians caught in the crossfire. While praising the U.S. role in diffusing tensions, Mehbooba also urged both nations to engage in sustained dialogue to prevent future escalations. #IndiaPakistanCeasefire #TrumpOnIndiaPakistan #DonaldTrumpCeasefire #IndiaPakWarStopped #CeasefireAgreement #FullImmediateCeasefire #IndoPakCeasefire #IndiaPakistanNews #CeasefireBetweenIndiaAndPakistan #IndiaPakistanDeescalation #MehboobaMufti #TrumpIndiaPakistanWar #DGMOIndia #TrumpCeasefireDeal #DonaldTrumpTweetOnIndia Also Read Trump Declares Columbus Day Will Remain Unchanged Amid Indigenous Peoples Day Recognition :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-reinstates-columbus-day-amid-indigenous-peoples-day-debate-011-4136967.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Considers Temporary Exemption from Auto Tariffs to Aid Car Manufacturers Amid Economic Challenges :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-considers-temporary-exemption-auto-tariffs-011-4124041.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Dismisses General Tim Haugh from National Security Agency Amidst Congressional Concerns :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-fires-general-tim-haugh-national-security-agency-011-4115013.html?ref=DMDesc ~PR.152~ED.194~HT.336~

‘In Matter of MONTHS...’ | IAEA Chief Drops BOMBSHELL on Iran’s Nuclear Uranium Enrichment Plans

IAEA Chief Rafael Grossi has warned that Iran could resume uranium enrichment within months, despite recent U.S. strikes on its nuclear sites. Grossi emphasized that Iran’s expertise and infrastructure remain largely intact. Satellite images of Fordow show signs of possible reconstruction, contradicting Trump’s claim that Iran’s program was “totally obliterated.” The IAEA says damage was significant but not crippling. With Tehran cutting off cooperation with the UN watchdog, concerns are rising over Iran’s next nuclear move. #IranNuclearCrisis #IAEA #RafaelGrossi #Fordow #UraniumEnrichment #TrumpIranPolicy #NuclearTensions #IAEAWarns #IranStrikesBack #MiddleEastCrisis #USIranConflict #FordowFacility #BreakingNews #SatelliteImages #MaxarTechnologies #UNWatchdog #NuclearRestart #IranNuclearProgram #NuclearThreat #NuclearDealCollapse #Tehran #IranUpdate #StealthBomberStrike #TrumpClaims #IranianCentrifuges #NonProliferation #IranSanctions #GlobalSecurity #WeaponsOfMassDestruction #IAEALatest #IranFordowRepair Also Read IAEA Junks Rumours Of Radiation Leak From Any Nuclear Facility In Pakistan :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/iaea-junks-rumours-of-radiation-leak-from-any-nuclear-facility-in-pakistan-4153965.html?ref=DMDesc UN Nuclear Watchdog Chief Rafael Grossi to Visit Moscow Over Ukraine's Nuclear Safety Concerns :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/un-nuclear-watchdog-chief-visit-moscow-ukraine-nuclear-safety-011-4062419.html?ref=DMDesc Drone Attack Elevates Nuclear Accident Risk At Zaporizhzhia, Says IAEA Chief :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/drone-attack-zaporizhzhia-nuclear-plant-risks-011-3794213.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.178~ED.103~GR.124~
