Trump’s $2 BILLION Attack on Harvard: Mass Layoffs Kick In as Harvard Faces Research Fund Freeze

Harvard University faces a billion-dollar hit as the Trump administration freezes $2.6 billion in research funds, hikes taxes on its endowment, and pushes a 15% cap on international student enrollment. The school warns of massive layoffs, halted hiring, and deep cost-cutting to survive. President Alan Garber calls the changes “disruptive and painful,” as tensions escalate over allegations of antisemitism and political bias.

“No Deal? Too Bad” — Trump Threatens Massive Sanctions on Russia as 50-Day Deadline Looms

U.S President Donald Trump has issued a blistering 50-day warning to Russia: reach a deal, or face the full force of U.S. tariffs and sanctions. Speaking on the Ukraine-Russia war, Biden declared he’s “on nobody’s side” — except the side that wants the killing to stop. But if Moscow doesn’t act, the U.S. is ready to strike economically. With time ticking and global tensions high, this could mark a major turning point in the war — or a slide into deeper confrontation. What happens if the Kremlin refuses?

Iran's War Warning: Iran’s Defense Minister DOUBTS Ceasefire With Israel | Missiles & Bases on ALERT

Weeks after the Israel–Iran ceasefire, Iran's Defense Minister General Nasirzadeh has declared deep distrust in the truce, warning of serious retaliation if Israel resumes military operations. In a statement to Turkey, Iran reaffirmed its readiness to respond decisively. As Iran rebuilds its war-damaged infrastructure and ramps up its nuclear program, tensions are rising again. Footage released shows Iranian generals inspecting missile stockpiles and aerospace bases. Meanwhile, President Masoud Pezeshkian is visiting war victims as Iran prepares for what it calls “the next phase” of resistance. #Iran #Israel #MiddleEastTensions #IranIsraelWar #Ceasefire #Nasirzadeh #TruceWarning #MilitaryAlert #NuclearProgram #MissileStockpile #IranDefense #PressTV #IranWarNews #WarFootage #IranVsIsrael #Pezeshkian #TehranNews #Geopolitics #DefenseNews #WarUpdate #MilitaryTensions #MiddleEastCrisis #RetaliationThreat #IsraelIranCeasefire #BreakingNews #GlobalSecurity #TruceDoubt #IranianGenerals #AerospaceForce Also Read Israel's Troop Presence in Gaza Complicates Ceasefire Negotiations with Hamas :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israel-troops-gaza-complicates-truce-talks-011-7796581.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Gets Second Nobel Peace Prize Nod, Courtesy Israeli PM Netanyahu :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-gets-second-nobel-peace-prize-nod-courtesy-israeli-pm-netanyahu-011-7794565.html?ref=DMDesc Israel PM Netanyahu Faces Anger, And Tears In First Visit To Nir Oz Since Oct 7 Gaza Massacre :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/benjamin-netanyahu-visits-nir-oz-kibbutz-near-gaza-strip-011-7791019.html?ref=DMDesc

Turkey On HIGH Alert:  Syria SHUTS Border With Turkey As Massive Wildfires Rage Just 4KM From Border [Video]

Turkey On HIGH Alert: Syria SHUTS Border With Turkey As Massive Wildfires Rage Just 4KM From Border

Syria has shut the Kassab border crossing with Turkey as massive wildfires edge dangerously close to the Turkish province of Hatay. Sparked amid severe drought and recent sectarian unrest, the fires have destroyed swathes of Syria’s green belt and now threaten cross-border regions. Firefighters from Turkey, Jordan, and Iraq joined Syrian civil defense teams to battle the blaze. With Attera burning just 4 km from the Turkish border, Ankara is on high alert. Officials say the spread is due to extreme heat and wind—not arson. #SyriaWildfires #TurkeyBorder #SyriaCrisis #KassabCrossing #Hatay #MiddleEastNews #RedAlert #FireCrisis #DroughtDisaster #ClimateEmergency #Attera #Zahia #CivilDefense #WildfireAlert #TurkeySyria #RegionalTension #ForestFires #GreenBeltLoss #EnvironmentalDisaster #Firefighters #BorderCrisis #BreakingNews #SyriaTurmoil #ClimateImpact #Deforestation #IllegalLogging #Heatwave #WildfireSpread #EasternMediterranean #CrossBorderThreat Also Read Turkey Arrests LeMan Magazine Editor-in-Chief Over Prophet Mohammed Cartoon :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/turkey-arrests-leman-magazine-editor-in-chief-over-prophet-mohammed-cartoon-7799895.html?ref=DMDesc Syria's Government and Kurdish Forces Still Disagree on Merging Plans After Recent Talks :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/syrias-government-kurds-odds-merging-forces-us-envoy-011-7796579.html?ref=DMDesc Turkey Junks Claims Of Its Involvement In Maintenance Of Crashed Ahmedabad-London Air India Dreamliner :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/turkey-junks-claims-of-its-involvement-in-maintenance-of-crashed-ahmedabad-london-air-india-dreamlin-4182063.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.102~

Hypersonic Missile Race: Russia’s Avangard, China’s DF-41, US' Trident — & India’s DRDO Breakthrough

They travel faster than sound. Some even at Mach 20. They can strike any point on the planet within minutes — and no known defence system can stop them. In this explosive breakdown, we take you inside the world’s fastest and most powerful missiles — Russia’s Avangard and Sarmat, China’s DF-41, the US Trident II D5 and Minuteman III — and reveal India’s imminent entry into the hypersonic elite. From nuclear payloads to manoeuvrability and range, these weapons define modern deterrence and domination. And with India’s DRDO now testing indigenous hypersonic tech, the global arms race just got a new player. #HypersonicMissile #Avangard #DF41 #TridentII #Sarmat #MissileTechnology #IndiaDefence #DRDO #RussiaMissile #ChinaMissile #USAWeapons #NuclearMissile #Mach20 #Geopolitics #MilitaryPower #DefenceExplained #MissileRace #StrategicWeapons #ICBM #WorldMilitaryPower Also Read India’s S-400 vs Pakistan’s HQ-9P: Who Commands the Skies Now? :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/india-s-400-vs-pakistan-s-hq-9p-who-commands-the-skies-now-4147915.html?ref=DMDesc Missile Strike Near Ben Gurion Airport Leads To Air India Flight Rerouting :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/missile-strike-near-ben-gurion-airport-leads-to-air-india-flight-rerouting-4143153.html?ref=DMDesc ~PR.274~HT.408~GR.125~

S-400 EXPOSED? Russia’s S-400 SYSTEM WRECKED by Low-Flying DRONES | Putin SILENT After The Attack

Russia’s highly-touted S-400 air defense system is under intense scrutiny after a massive Ukrainian drone strike reportedly destroyed critical assets, including Russian bombers. On June 1, 2025, over 117 low-flying drones bypassed radar detection and targeted key military sites. Despite its reputation, the S-400 struggled to intercept these cheap, agile UAVs. Ukraine’s coordinated swarm attacks, use of jammers, decoys, and anti-radar missiles highlight growing vulnerabilities in legacy defense systems like the S-400—designed for jets and missiles, not modern drone warfare. #Ukraine #Russia #S400 #DroneStrike #AirDefense #UAV #DroneWarfare #UkraineWar #S400Failure #MilitaryNews #Zelensky #DefenseNews #BreakingNews #RussiaUkraineWar #Drones #ATACMS #HIMARS #MissileDefense #MilitaryTech #Kremlin #RussiaMilitary #GeoPolitics #UkrainianDrones #DroneSwarm #WarUpdate #Putin #NATO #ModernWarfare #RussianBombers #BattlefieldInnovation #117Drones ~ED.102~HT.336~

Jaishankar Meets Xi in China for FIRST Time Since Deadly Galwan Clash |India FLAGS Rare Earth Block [Video]

Jaishankar Meets Xi in China for FIRST Time Since Deadly Galwan Clash |India FLAGS Rare Earth Block

In a significant diplomatic development, India's External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar met with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing on July 15th, on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit. This high-stakes meeting marked Jaishankar's first visit to China since the deadly 2020 Galwan Valley border clash, signalling a cautious step toward the normalization of ties between the two Asian giants. During his visit, Jaishankar also held talks with Chinese Vice President Han Zheng and Foreign Minister Wang Yi, advocating for a "far-seeing" and strategic approach to the bilateral relationship. The core of the discussions revolved around the protracted border standoff in Eastern Ladakh. Jaishankar firmly reiterated India's position, stressing that complete troop disengagement in the remaining friction points of Depsang and Demchok is a prerequisite for restoring normalcy and rebuilding trust. He emphasized that peace and tranquility along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) are fundamental to the overall development of India-China relations. A key highlight of the meeting was Jaishankar's subtle but sharp criticism of China's recent export curbs on rare earth minerals, a move that directly threatens India's critical manufacturing and high-tech sectors. With China controlling over 90% of the global rare earth output, Beijing wields significant economic leverage, a point not lost on the Indian delegation. Despite the diplomatic optics of cooperation within the SCO framework, deep-seated strategic mistrust remains a major obstacle. The talks were overshadowed by recent revelations from Lt Gen Rahul Singh that China had provided live intelligence, weapons, and drones to Pakistan during a previous conflict. This underscores the challenge India faces, dealing with China's "sweet diplomacy" on one hand and its "cunning moves" on the other, proving that a real thaw in relations will require more than just high-level meetings. #IndiaChina #SJaishankar #XiJinping #BreakingNews #OneindiaNews #LAC #Geopolitics #Ladakh #SCOSummit #WorldNews Also Read Normalisation Of India-China Ties Can Produce Beneficial Outcomes: Jaishankar In Beijing :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/normalisation-of-india-china-ties-can-produce-beneficial-outcomes-jaishankar-in-beijing-7800377.html?ref=DMDesc Is Xi Jinping Preparing To Step Down As Chinese President?
