Under the shadow of escalating regional tensions, Israel executed a high-stakes evacuation mission — bringing home over 2,000 stranded citizens from Cyprus aboard the luxury cruise ship Crown Iris. Escorted by an Israeli Navy missile boat, the vessel docked safely at Ashdod port in the early hours, with buses on standby to transport returnees to major cities. #OperationSafeReturn #IsraelEvacuation #AshdodPort #IsraeliNavy #CrownIris #IsraelNews #MiddleEastTensions #CyprusToIsrael #RepatriationMission #MiriRegev #HomeFrontCommand #BreakingNews Also Read Netanyahu Draws Flak For Equating Son’s Postponed Wedding With War Deaths: 'Personal Cost For His Fiancée Too' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/netanyahu-draws-flak-for-equating-son-s-postponed-wedding-with-war-deaths-personal-cost-for-his-fi-7778281.html?ref=DMDesc Iran Opens Airspace Exclusively For Indian Evacuation Flights, Over 1,000 Students To Reach Delhi Tonight :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/iran-opens-airspace-exclusively-for-indian-evacuation-flights-as-tensions-simmer-in-middle-east-7778221.html?ref=DMDesc Iran’s Missile Strike On Israel Raises Alarm Over Use Of Cluster Bombs.

Houthis Hypersonic Hellfire: Tel-Aviv Ben Gurion Airport Hit | Chaos & Panic Grips Tel-Aviv | VIDEO

In a dramatic escalation, Yemen’s Armed Forces have claimed responsibility for a massive drone and missile assault targeting key Israeli infrastructure, including Ben Gurion Airport, Ashdod Port, and the Eilat Port. Yemeni military spokesman Brig. Gen. Yahya Saree confirmed the use of the indigenous ‘Palestine 2’ hypersonic missile and locally built UAVs in retaliation against Israeli strikes on Yemen and in solidarity with Gaza. The strike forced Israel to shut down its primary international airport, with sirens sounding across the Dead Sea area. The Yemeni Armed Forces declared their readiness for prolonged confrontation and reiterated a vow to continue strategic blockades and attacks until Israel halts its Gaza offensive. With over 57,000 Palestinians dead since October 2023, the operation underscores a widening regional war and a unified resistance front across West Asia. Israeli interceptors reportedly failed to stop the attacks, raising serious concerns about defense gaps. #YemenMissileStrike #BenGurionHit #Palestine2Missile #IsraelUnderAttack #GazaWar #HypersonicMissile #YemenIsraelConflict #EilatAttack #AshdodPortStrike #DroneWarfare #YahyaSaree #MiddleEastTensions #BRICSResponse #TelAvivUnderFire #AirstrikeOnIsrael #GazaBlockade #IsraelYemenTensions #RedSeaCrisis #ResistanceFront #MissileWarning ~ED.420~HT.408~GR.125~

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has condemned Israel’s strikes on Iran as a reckless provocation that violates international law and risks igniting a global catastrophe. Calling it a “strategy of bloodshed,” Erdoğan warned Netanyahu’s government is sabotaging diplomatic efforts over Iran’s nuclear program to sustain regional chaos. Turkey’s foreign ministry echoed the alarm, demanding urgent global action to prevent further escalation. As Ankara joins the growing chorus of condemnation, fears rise over a widening West Asia conflict and potential global fallout. #Erdogan #IsraelIranConflict #TurkeyCondemnsIsrael #InternationalLaw #MiddleEastTensions #WestAsiaCrisis #BreakingNews #GlobalSecurity #TehranStrikes #NuclearCrisis #TurkeyStatement #ErdoğanWarning #NetanyahuGovt #RegionalStability #MiddleEastDiplomacy #StrategicProvocation #StopTheWar #IsraelAirstrikes #IranNuclearTalks #PeaceUnderThreat #TurkeyVsIsrael #WarWarning #MiddleEastWar #WestAsiaEscalation #UNAlert #GlobalCondemnation #AnkaraResponse #MilitaryEscalation #IsraelIranTensions #MiddleEastFlashpoint #RecklessAttack ~HT.410~GR.124~

Iran has launched over 100 Shaheed-136 kamikaze drones toward Israel in retaliation for Israeli strikes on nuclear and military sites in Tehran. Several UAVs have been spotted over Iraq as Israeli defense systems brace for impact. Supreme Leader Khamenei vows “painful revenge,” while Israel declares a nationwide emergency.

“I Want Iran-Style Drones!” – Trump Demands U.S. Defense Firms Match Iran’s Cheap, Fast, Deadly UAVs [Video]

“I Want Iran-Style Drones!” – Trump Demands U.S. Defense Firms Match Iran’s Cheap, Fast, Deadly UAVs

Speaking in Qatar, former President Trump criticized U.S. defense contractors for producing drones at exorbitant prices—contrasting them with Iran’s $35K–$40K drones, which he called fast, cheap, and deadly. Trump recounted asking an American company to replicate Iran’s affordable drones, only to be presented with a $41 million model. His remarks spotlight rising defense spending and Iran’s rapid drone advancement, which has positioned the country as a major military force in West Asia. Trump’s comments reignite debate over U.S. defense efficiency, cost, and competitiveness. #Trump #Drones #DefenseSpending #IranDrones #MilitaryTech #WestAsia #USDefense #DroneWarfare #TrumpSpeech #Qatar #UAE #IranTech #MilitaryNews #BreakingNews #TrumpInQatar #USPolitics #DefenseBudget #WeaponSystems #TechGap #GlobalSecurity #ArmsRace #DroneStrike #MilitaryCost #TrumpQuotes #IranVsUS #USMilitary #DefenseIndustry #WarTech #TrumpVsDefense #TrumpTour #MiddleEastPolitics Also Read What is Al-Ayyala, The Hair-Flipping Ritual Performed By Women To Welcome Trump In UAE? :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/what-is-al-ayyala-the-hair-flipping-ritual-performed-by-women-to-welcome-trump-in-uae-4155333.html?ref=DMDesc Days After Pahalgam Attack, Pakistan Signed Deal With Trump Family-Backed Cryptocurrency Venture :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/days-after-pahalgam-attack-pakistan-signed-deal-with-trump-family-backed-cryptocurrency-venture-4154893.html?ref=DMDesc Kangana Ranaut Takes Jibe At Donald Trump, Later Deletes It - Says Did It On 'JP Nadda's Request' :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/kangana-ranaut-takes-jibe-at-donald-trump-says-deleted-post-on-jp-naddas-request-4154455.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~GR.124~ED.420~
