‘LIKE HIROSHIMA’: Trump Compares U.S. Strikes on Iran to Atomic Bombings; Says ‘It Ended the War’

Trump likened recent U.S. military strikes on Iran to the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, claiming the overwhelming force of the attack was enough to “end the war.” Speaking at a closed-door fundraiser in Florida, Trump reportedly told supporters, “It was like Hiroshima — one hit, and they backed off. That’s how you stop a war.” #TrumpBombsIran #LikeHiroshima #TrumpIranStrike #USBombsIran #IranUnderAttack #TrumpWarTalk #IranNuclearSites #TrumpVsIran #MiddleEastTensions #IranIsraelWar #TrumpOnIran #IranCrisis #DonaldTrumpNews #USStrikesIran #IranBombing Also Read US President Trump Hosts Pakistan Army Chief Asim Munir Amid Regional Tensions :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-president-trump-hosts-pakistan-army-chief-asim-munir-011-4185603.html?ref=DMDesc Mike Johnson Dismisses Elon Musk's Criticism of Republican Tax and Budget Bill :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/mike-johnson-downplays-musks-influence-on-republican-tax-bill-011-4175853.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Proposes Allowing Ukraine and Russia to Fight Before Seeking Peace :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-ukraine-russia-fight-for-a-while-011-4173761.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~PR.152~GR.124~ED.102~

Asim Munir RISES even as Pakistan SINKS | What Munir’s promotion means for Pak and the subcontinent?

Pakistan Army Chief General Asim Munir has been promoted to Field Marshal by the Pakistani government, days after tensions with India escalated. Officially praised for his strategic leadership, the promotion comes despite evidence of heavy damage inflicted by India on Pakistani military assets. Analysts view the move as propaganda to mask military losses and assert the army’s dominance over Pakistan’s fragile civilian government. Munir’s rise may signal increased anti-India rhetoric, potential cross-border tensions, and growing fears of martial law. #AsimMunir #FieldMarshal #PakistanArmy #IndiaPakistanTensions #MilitaryDominance #PakGovt #AntiIndiaRhetoric #PakistanPolitics #MartialLawFears #MunirPromotion #CrossBorderTensions #MilitaryEstablishment #CivilMilitaryDivide #TerrorThreats #PropagandaPlay #StrategicFailure #SouthAsiaSecurity #WarPosturing #PahalgamAttack #IndiaStrikes #GeopoliticalTensions #PakistanNews #SatelliteProof #MilitaryControl #AyubKhanComparison #MunirRise #PakistanUnderSiege Also Read Despite Ceasefire, Drone Attacks Continue from Pakistan: Signs of Fallout and Fractures Within Pak Army? :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/despite-ceasefire-drone-attacks-continue-from-pakistan-signs-of-fallout-and-fractures-within-pak-a-4151769.html?ref=DMDesc Remember 1971 Surrender!

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?

Houthis Sink Ship, Kidnap Crew in Red Sea | U.S Demands Hostage Release or Face Brutal Attacks Now! [Video]

Houthis Sink Ship, Kidnap Crew in Red Sea | U.S Demands Hostage Release or Face Brutal Attacks Now!

On July 2025, Iran-backed Houthi rebels launched a deadly drone and missile attack on the Eternity C, a civilian cargo ship navigating the Red Sea. After sinking the vessel, the Houthis kidnapped several surviving crew members, prompting a swift condemnation from the U.S. State Department and calls for their immediate and unconditional release. The Houthi spokesperson claimed responsibility, announcing that the strike was "documented with audio and video proof" and carried out after the ship ignored multiple warnings. This attack follows a string of similar assaults on commercial vessels—including the Magic Seas—and signals a dramatic escalation in maritime warfare across strategic shipping lanes. With global trade routes under threat and regional tensions surging, the U.S. is now weighing full-scale retaliation as pressure mounts in Washington and Tel Aviv to respond. #HouthiAttack #RedSeaCrisis #EternityC #USNavy #IranProxyWar #MiddleEastConflict #MaritimeSecurity #CargoShipAttack #BreakingNews #YemenWar #HouthiHostages #MissileStrike #DroneAttack #NavalWarfare #USVsHouthis #GlobalShippingCrisis
