Iran's Nuclear Uranium SURVIVED U.S Bombing, Israelis Admit Failure of U.S OP 'Midnight Hammer' [Video]

Iran's Nuclear Uranium SURVIVED U.S Bombing, Israelis Admit Failure of U.S OP 'Midnight Hammer'

Weeks after Trump boasted of obliterating Iran’s nuclear program, a New York Times report raises major doubts. Israeli officials claim parts of Iran’s 60% enriched uranium stockpile survived U.S. airstrikes in June. The uranium, reportedly buried too deep at Isfahan, may remain intact and inaccessible. While the U.S. says centrifuges were likely destroyed, satellite imagery suggests otherwise. With IAEA inspectors blocked, uncertainty looms. Trump’s “Midnight Hammer” may not have delivered a fatal blow, casting doubt on U.S. intelligence and raising fears about Iran’s nuclear future. #Trump #Iran #NuclearProgram #NYTReport #Isfahan #Uranium #IAEA #MidnightHammer #IranNukes #USMilitary #IsraelIntel #GlobalSecurity #TrumpClaims #EnrichedUranium #IranNuclearCrisis #USStrike #Centrifuges #Fordo #Natanz #WorldNews #MiddleEastTensions #IranUpdate #BunkerBuster #IranNuclear #USIsrael #NuclearThreat #BreakingNews #TrumpVsIran #Geopolitics #SecurityBriefing #IntelligenceLeak Also Read Trump Condemns Brazilian Authorities for Alleged Witch Hunt Against Bolsonaro :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-criticises-brazilian-authorities-witch-hunt-bolsonaro-011-7794385.html?ref=DMDesc Israel To Send Ceasefire Team To Qatar A Day Before Trump-Netanyahu Meet :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israel-to-send-ceasefire-team-to-qatar-a-day-before-trump-netanyahu-meet-7792721.html?ref=DMDesc Iran To Buy Chinese J-10C Fighter Jets :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/iran-to-buy-chinese-j-10c-fighter-jets-7788123.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~GR.124~

Trump Calls Reporter “Evil” Over Texas Flood Warning Question, Defends FEMA Funding And Abbott [Video]

Trump Calls Reporter “Evil” Over Texas Flood Warning Question, Defends FEMA Funding And Abbott

President Donald Trump lashed out at a reporter during a Texas flood roundtable, calling the question about lack of early warnings “very evil.” Visiting Central Texas following massive flash floods that left over 100 dead, Trump praised FEMA and Governor Greg Abbott’s response team, pledging swift federal aid. The Texas “Flash Flood Alley” region suffered rapid water surges, catching communities unprepared. Trump claimed “fully funded within minutes” and commended responders. He reiterated that such rapid flooding was unprecedented, dismissing criticisms. Republican Rep. Chip Roy defended him, calling the question “ridiculous.” Trump also avoided answer on future FEMA role. With casualties including at least 27 campers in Kerr County, the event highlighted his administration's partnership with Texas officials. His remarks stirred controversy over leadership tone and disaster preparedness in face of growing climate disasters. #Trump #TexasFloods #FlashFloodAlley #TrumpVsReporter #FEMA #GregAbbott #CrisisResponse #TrumpSlamsReporter #TexasDisaster #FloodWarnings #Evacuation #TexasHillCountry #DisasterFunding #ClimateCrisis #TrumpRoundtable #FloodVictims #KerrCounty #MediaScrutiny #RepublicanDefense #FloodPreparedness ~HT.410~ED.103~GR.124~

Matt Gaetz Tipped To Replace Pam Bondi As Attorney General? Epstein Scandal ROCKS MAGA World

Rumors are flying after former Rep. George Santos posted a cryptic message suggesting Rep. Matt Gaetz could replace Pam Bondi as Attorney General. The speculation comes amid MAGA outrage over Bondi's failed promises about the Epstein files and a DOJ report debunking her claims of a “client list.” FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino may resign over the internal feud, and FBI Chief Kash Patel could follow. As calls for Bondi’s resignation grow louder, Santos’ viral X post—"Matt Gaetz is MIA at Turning Points USA tonight! Something is in motion!"—fueled speculation. Meanwhile, conservative voices like Megyn Kelly and Tucker Carlson slammed Bondi’s actions, with Carlson reviving theories about Epstein’s intel ties. Amid the firestorm, many MAGA loyalists are pushing for Gaetz to be installed as acting AG, even if temporarily.

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.

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!

NSA Ajit Doval SLAMS Foreign Media For Misleading Reports On India's Operation Sindoor Against Pak

India's National Security Advisor Ajit Doval has launched a scathing critique of foreign media coverage surrounding the recent Operation Sindoor, India’s successful counter-air offensive against Pakistan. During his statement, Doval highlighted the glaring disparity between global headlines and on-ground evidence. “Show me one image of damage on our side. Even a glass pane wasn’t broken,” he said, slamming reports suggesting Pakistani retaliation inflicted damage in India. Doval emphasized satellite images showcasing before-and-after visuals of 13 Pakistani air bases, including Chaklala and Sargodha, exposed only damage on their side. His remarks sent a powerful message on India's capability and the global narrative war surrounding cross-border strikes. This marks one of the strongest rebuttals to foreign press by an Indian security chief in recent times, asserting India's stance with sharp clarity. #AjitDoval #OperationSindoor #IndiaStrikesBack #PakistanAirBases #ForeignMediaBias #IndiaPakistan #AirstrikeTruth #SatelliteImages #SargodhaStrike #ChaklalaHit #NSAIndia #IndianAirForce #NationalSecurity #IndiaVsPakistan #PropagandaExposed #WarNarrative #DovalStatement #RahimYarKhan #IndiaPower #CrossBorderStrike ~HT.410~GR.122~

Ukrainian Skies SECURED Again? Trump Sends 'Patriot System' to Counter Massive Russian Air Onslaught [Video]

Ukrainian Skies SECURED Again? Trump Sends 'Patriot System' to Counter Massive Russian Air Onslaught

The United States has confirmed it is sending another Patriot air defense system to Ukraine to help the war-torn nation counter Russia's escalating aerial assaults. This decision comes as former President Donald Trump issued a strong statement, bashing Russian President Vladimir Putin for his aggressive military strategy. For months, Ukraine has pleaded for more advanced air defense, as the previous freeze in U.S. military aid allowed Russian warplanes to dominate the skies and launch devastating strikes with ballistic missiles like the Iskander and the hypersonic Kinzhal. The Patriot system is considered Ukraine's only reliable and effective shield against these specific high-speed threats. Its advanced radar and PAC-3 MSE interceptors are critical for protecting high-value targets, including the capital city of Kyiv, and vital energy infrastructure that Russia has systematically targeted. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has stated that Ukraine needs more of these systems, as the current six to eight units leave vast areas of the country exposed to Russian attacks. However, the deployment is not without risks. Each Patriot missile costs between $2-4 million, and Russia actively targets these valuable systems on the battlefield. The U.S. itself has a limited global inventory of Patriot units, balancing urgent requests from Ukraine with strategic commitments to allies in the Middle East and the South China Sea. This deployment signals a critical phase in the Russia-Ukraine war, testing both Ukrainian resilience and American strategic resolve. #RussiaUkraineWar #PatriotSystem #DonaldTrump #BreakingNews #USPolitics #Zelenskyy #Putin #WorldNews #OneindiaNews #Geopolitics Also Read US President Donald Trump Announces 25% Tariffs On Japan, South Korea :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-president-donald-trump-announces-25-tariffs-on-japan-south-korea-7794333.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Calls Musk’s America Party Plan ‘Ridiculous’ And ‘Unworkable’ :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-calls-musk-s-america-party-plan-ridiculous-and-unworkable-7793443.html?ref=DMDesc America Will Be Richer, Safer, and Prouder: Trump As Big, Beautiful Bill Passes Congress :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-s-big-beautiful-bill-passes-congress-in-big-win-for-us-president-011-7790919.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.194~HT.408~

Iran BLASTS Germany For Aiding Israel’s War Crimes, Calls Merz Complicit In ‘Act Of Aggression’

Iran’s Foreign Ministry has launched a blistering verbal offensive against German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, accusing Berlin of directly supporting Israel’s “war of aggression” against the Islamic Republic. In a fiery statement posted online, senior Iranian official Esmaeil Baqaei slammed Merz for endorsing what he called “atrocity crimes” and “unprovoked armed attacks” by Israel, claiming it violated the UN Charter’s Article 2(4). Labeling Germany’s position as both “illegal” and “criminal,” Baqaei said Berlin’s support amounts to “complicity in aggression” and warned that Germany now bears international legal responsibility. The remarks come as Iran seeks to rally global opinion against Israel following strikes on its territory, and as Tehran accuses Western powers of shielding Israeli actions. Iran’s legal framing of Germany’s conduct could escalate diplomatic tensions and spark fierce debates at global forums including the UN and ICJ. #Iran #Germany #Israel #FriedrichMerz #UNCharter #WarCrimes #Tehran #Berlin #InternationalLaw #MiddleEast #Geopolitics #BreakingNews #IranIsrael #ChancellorMerz #IranForeignMinistry #Aggression #Complicity #WarOfAggression #UNViolation #NuclearTensions ~HT.318~ED.346~

Iran WARNS Of Retaliation If US Refuses Guarantees Before Resuming Nuclear Talks After Conflict [Video]

Iran WARNS Of Retaliation If US Refuses Guarantees Before Resuming Nuclear Talks After Conflict

Iran has signaled its willingness to resume nuclear diplomacy—but only under strict conditions. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said renewed talks must include U.S. guarantees that Iranian nuclear sites will not be struck again, following recent Israeli and U.S. airstrikes, including the impactful June 22 bombing campaign. The cancelled June 15 round in Oman collapsed after Tehran deemed the attacks a “declaration of war.” Araghchi told Le Monde that diplomacy must now be rooted in accountability, mutual respect, and concrete assurances. Tehran continues enriching uranium to 60% purity under IAEA oversight, arguing this proves its program’s peaceful goals. Iran also refuses to discuss its ballistic missile capability, calling it defensively crucial. Washington asserts Trump remains committed to peace—though Araghchi dismissed claims of Iran’s program being “obliterated” and hinted at possible compensation for damage. The stakes are high as both sides weigh whether talks can survive past recent military escalations. #IranNuclear #UStalks #AbbasAraghchi #NuclearDiplomacy #IranUSRelations #OmanTalks #IAEA #UraniumEnrichment #IranGuarantees #USStrikes #IranRetaliation #MutualRespect #NuclearTalks2025 #IranianForeignMinister #LeMondeInterview #BallisticMissiles #IranCompensation #MiddleEastTension #TrumpIran #GlobalSecurity ~HT.318~ED.102~GR.125~

Iran MOCKS Israel’s Failure to Assassinate Pezeshkian; Israel BOMBED Site Where Iranian Prez Was?

A senior Iranian official confirmed that Israel attempted to assassinate President Masoud Pezeshkian during a high-level military meeting amid Israel's June attacks on Iran. Presidential advisor Sayyed Mehdi Tabatabaei revealed that Israel targeted a gathering of political and military leaders with a large-scale explosion, calling it a direct operation aimed at decapitating Iran's leadership. Pezeshkian himself confirmed the assassination attempt in a recent interview, criticizing Israeli hostility and U.S. complicity. Iran has vowed to reject any future negotiations that seek to undermine its nuclear capabilities and missile program, which it considers non-negotiable national rights. Iranian leaders also accused the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) of bias and warned that cooperation with the agency depends on fair treatment. #IsraelTriedToKillPezeshkian #MasoudPezeshkian #PezeshkianIsraelAttack #IranPresidentPezeshkian #PezeshkianWarning #PezeshkianNewsLive #IsraelIranTensions #PezeshkianVsIsrael #IranIsraelConflict #PezeshkianBombClaim #PezeshkianNetanyahu #PezeshkianInterview #IranStrikesIsrael #IsraeliStrikes #MiddleEastCrisis ~PR.152~HT.408~ED.194~GR.124~
