'Absolutely incorrect': Rafale maker on Pakistan’s claim on Indian Rafale; says mission success is key
Sunday, 15 June 2025 () Dassault Aviation CEO Éric Trappier refuted Pakistan's claims of shooting down Rafale fighter jets during the conflict with India, labeling them as inaccurate. This statement follows General Chauhan's dismissal of Pakistan's assertions regarding downed Indian warplanes during Operation Sindoor. India has acknowledged and rectified tactical errors, successfully striking targets deep within Pakistani territory.
Indian government has launched Operation Sindhu to evacuate its citizens from conflict-hit Iran amid escalating tensions with Israel. The first successful phase has brought home 110 Indian students, who arrived safely on a special flight early this morning. With the situation in the region...

In a major breakthrough just days before the July 9 deadline, Pakistan and the United States have reached an understanding on a crucial trade and tariff agreement. Led by Commerce Secretary Jawad Paal, the Pakistani delegation held four days of negotiations in Washington aimed at avoiding the re-imposition of a 29% tariff on key exports like textiles and agricultural products.
While a formal announcement awaits the conclusion of similar talks with other U.S. partners, officials confirm that a broad framework has been agreed upon. The deal is expected to unlock access to the U.S. market, secure tariff relief, and attract potential American investment in Pakistan’s mining, energy, and infrastructure sectors — especially Reko Diq. The understanding also opens doors to cooperation with the U.S. Export-Import Bank. Both sides now look to reset strained economic ties dating back to the Trump-era tariff hikes, giving exporters and investors renewed confidence.

In a historic and controversial move, Russia has become the first nation to officially recognise the Taliban government in Afghanistan. The announcement was met with cautious optimism on the streets of Kabul, where many Afghans are now urging neighboring powers like Iran, Pakistan, and India to “choose friendship” over continued conflict. Locals say the recognition brings hope for stability, economic revival, and an end to international isolation. “War brings only destruction. We want peace and cooperation,” said Ahmad Zia Popal, a Kabul resident. The Taliban, still sanctioned by the West and condemned for its human rights record—especially on women’s rights—called Russia’s decision “courageous” and a model for others. While global criticism looms, many ordinary Afghans see this as a turning point. Moscow’s move also raises geopolitical questions as it deepens its footprint in the region amid growing tensions with the West.

As the Iran-Israel war winds down, France has revealed its covert military role during the conflict. Defense Minister Sébastien Lecornu confirmed that French forces intercepted fewer than ten Iranian drones aimed at Israel before the ceasefire. Using Rafale jets and ground systems, France acted in self-defense to protect troops and regional installations. The revelation underscores limited NATO involvement in defending Israel and highlights the growing threat from Iran’s drone arsenal, which sought to map Israeli air defenses. France's move marks a rare and bold military admission in the Middle East crisis.

Trinamool Congress MP Saket Gokhale has issued an unconditional public apology and agreed to pay ₹50 lakh in damages after falsely accusing ex-diplomat Lakshmi Murdeshwar Puri of corruption. The Delhi High Court warned of civil detention if he failed to comply.
But Gokhale’s apology isn’t an isolated incident — it’s just another example in a long line of opposition leaders making defamatory claims, triggering outrage, and then quietly backtracking when confronted by the courts.
From Rahul Gandhi’s RSS allegations to the Rafale lie, from ‘khoon ki dalali’ to defaming NSA Ajit Doval’s son — the pattern is clear: slander first, apologise later.
