Iranians FLEE As Trump’s FINAL Warning Sparks Panic In Tehran | U.S. Mega Strike On Tehran Imminent?

Strait Of Hormuz In CHAOS: Three Ships Ablaze Near Strait Of Hormuz Amid Israel-Iran Conflict

Amid soaring Israel-Iran tensions, dramatic images on social media show three ships engulfed in flames off the Gulf of Oman near the critical Strait of Hormuz. While authenticity remains unverified, NASA’s FIRMS data also detected fires in the same zone. The area, a vital artery for global oil, has long been a flashpoint. No official Emirati response has surfaced yet. As Israel pounds Iran’s military sites, fears rise over possible retaliation through trade disruption, especially a blockade of Hormuz, which sees over 20 million barrels of oil pass daily. #IsraelIranTensions #StraitOfHormuz #GulfOfOmanFire #MiddleEastCrisis #OilTradeThreat #ShipFireGulf #HormuzBlockadeFears #FIRMSData #IranStrikeBack #IsraelIranWar #OilRouteAtRisk #GlobalOilSupply #MaritimeSecurity #TankerFirePhotos #UnverifiedImages #GeopoliticalFlashpoint #TehranVsTelAviv #HormuzCrisis #GulfMaritimeAlert #BreakingMiddleEast ~HT.318~ED.346~GR.125~

Shashi Tharoor TEARS INTO U.S ‘Mediation’ In India-PAK Ceasefire | Delegation SLAMS West’s Media

Congress MP Shashi Tharoor clarified India’s position on third-party mediation amid Operation Sindoor. He revealed that several global powers—including the U.S., France, UAE, and Saudi Arabia—reached out following India’s retaliatory strikes. Tharoor emphasized that India is not seeking war, but acted against terrorism. Any message relayed to Pakistan was indirect, not part of a formal mediation process. Tharoor reaffirmed that India never initiated aggression, maintaining a clear stance: “If they stop, we stop.” #OperationSindoor #IndiaPakistan #ShashiTharoor #NoMediation #AntiTerrorStrike #IndiaStandsFirm #PakistanTerror #TharoorStatement #IndiaForeignPolicy #WarOnTerror #IndiaNews #GlobalDiplomacy #NoToWar #IndianArmy #IndiaDefence #UAE #USIndiaRelations #France #SaudiArabia #IndiaPeace #SecurityFirst #RetaliationNotWar #IndiaResponds #IndiaPakistanTensions #IndiaSpeaks #BreakingNews #ANI #PeaceNotWar #IndiaInFocus #GeoPolitics #TerrorResponse Also Read Congress Vs Shashi Tharoor Strife Deepens: Party Says He's Part Of Family, MP Hits Out At Critics :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/congress-vs-shashi-tharoor-strife-deepens-party-says-hes-part-of-family-mp-hits-out-at-critics-4167287.html?ref=DMDesc Multi-Party Indian Delegation In Guyana Backs Tharoor’s Tough Message On Terrorism :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/multi-party-indian-delegation-in-guyana-backs-tharoor-s-tough-message-on-terrorism-4164031.html?ref=DMDesc Shashi Tharoor Says 'I Don't Work For Govt', Backs Operation Sindoor As India's Response To Pahalgam Attack :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/shashi-tharoor-says-i-dont-work-for-govt-backs-operation-sindoor-as-indias-response-to-pahalgam-4163119.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.102~

Gulf Royals Begged Trump to Halt Iran Strike? MBS, MBZ, Emir Tamim Warned Trump About War With Iran

In a dramatic diplomatic twist, Gulf powerhouses Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar reportedly urged President Trump to stand down from launching a military strike on Iran. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS), UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed (MBZ), and Qatari Emir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani warned that such action could provoke devastating Iranian retaliation—especially against U.S. bases on Gulf soil. As fears of regional chaos mounted, the Gulf leaders pushed Trump toward diplomacy and a new nuclear deal instead of confrontation. Trump, meanwhile, told Israeli PM Netanyahu to hold back on unilateral action and hinted that a “very strong document” with Iran could be signed soon. #Trump #IranStrike #MBS #MBZ #EmirTamim #GulfDiplomacy #MiddleEastCrisis #TrumpIranTensions #SaudiArabia #UAE #Qatar #IranDeal #TrumpForeignPolicy #NoWarWithIran #GulfStates Also Read Appeals Court Allows Trump To Continue Collecting Tariffs Under Emergency Powers Law For Now :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/appeals-court-allows-trump-to-continue-collecting-tariffs-under-emergency-powers-law-for-now-4167703.html?ref=DMDesc Harvard Granted One Month Extension In Trump Dispute Over International Student Ban: Reports :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/harvard-granted-one-month-extension-in-trump-dispute-over-international-student-ban-reports-4167515.html?ref=DMDesc Elon Musk Exits Trump Administration After Slamming ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ on His Way Out :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/elon-musk-exits-trump-administration-after-slamming-big-beautiful-bill-on-his-way-out-4166709.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.346~

Hamas SLAMS Arab Summit For Inaction As Gaza Massacres Escalate Amid Israeli Siege And Famine

Following the Arab League Summit in Baghdad, Hamas fiercely criticized Arab leaders for failing to take meaningful action as Israel’s assault on Gaza intensified. The group demanded enforcement of Riyadh resolutions, lifting of the blockade, and sanctions on Israel. Citing massacres in northern Gaza that coincided with the summit, Hamas stressed the need for urgent global solidarity. Other resistance factions echoed similar sentiments, condemning Arab regimes for hollow statements and complicity in genocide. The factions emphasized that real intervention, not symbolism, is urgently needed to halt the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza. #Hamas #ArabSummit #GazaCrisis #GazaUnderAttack #FreePalestine #PalestineResistance #GazaBlockade #ArabLeague #BaghdadSummit #GazaMassacres #StopGenocide #LiftTheSiege #AidToGaza #EndTheFamine #PalestinianFactions #IslamicJihad #MujahideenMovement #AhrarMovement #SanctionIsrael #NoToNormalization ~HT.318~ED.103~
