Houthis BIGGEST Revenge? Red Sea Undersea Cable Cut Explained | Who Damaged Red Sea Cables

Undersea cables in the Red Sea have been cut, disrupting internet traffic across Asia and the Middle East, with speculation swirling over whether Yemen’s Houthis or accidental ship anchors are responsible. Microsoft confirmed increased latency for some Azure users but said global traffic rerouting limited the wider impact. While Houthis, who have attacked over 100 ships since late 2023, deny targeting cables, experts warn intentional strikes could escalate the Israel-Hamas conflict into a broader international crisis.

Xi Challenges U.S in Victory Day Speech, Trump Fires Back with Explosive Post, Invoking WWII History

China marked the 80th anniversary of Japan’s surrender in WWII with a massive Victory Day military parade in Beijing, where President Xi Jinping declared China “unstoppable” flanked by Russia’s Vladimir Putin and North Korea’s Kim Jong Un. But the show of force did not go unanswered. Donald Trump fired back in a fiery post, accusing Xi, Putin, and Kim of conspiring against America, while reminding the world of America’s historic role in World War II. With nuclear missiles, hypersonic weapons, lasers, robot dogs and stealth jets on display, Beijing’s parade signaled a bold challenge to US dominance in Asia — even as Trump invoked history to warn of what’s at stake. #ChinaMilitaryParade #ChinaVictoryDAY #VictoryDayParade #XiJinping #KimJongUn #Putin #ChinaMilitary #China #MilitaryDay #Victoryday #ww2 #ChinaVsWest #XiShowOfStrength #ChinaParade #Beijing #Geopolitics #WorldLeaders #BeijingParade #CinaPowerProjection ~HT.318~PR.274~ED.103~

Iran SHAKEN:  5.2 Earthquake HITS Near Iran’s Secret Space Centre | Nuclear Test Rumors RISE Again [Video]

Iran SHAKEN: 5.2 Earthquake HITS Near Iran’s Secret Space Centre | Nuclear Test Rumors RISE Again

A magnitude 5.2 earthquake struck northern Iran near the country’s space and missile complex, raising questions about its nuclear ambitions. The quake, recorded at a shallow depth of just 3 km, has fueled speculation of possible underground tests—especially given a similar quake during the Iran–Israel war. Iran sits on the seismically active Alpine-Himalayan belt, averaging over 2,100 quakes annually, but its proximity to sensitive sites is reigniting global concerns. Officials deny any nuclear link, insisting Tehran won’t negotiate under external threats. #Iran #Earthquake #IranQuake #NuclearSpeculation #MissileComplex #Tehran #SeismicActivity #IranIsraelTensions #MiddleEast #BreakingNews #IranNuclearProgram #Geopolitics #IranSpaceCenter #EarthquakeAlert #IranCrisis #IranMissileProgram #IranTensions #QuakeNews #IranNuclearDeal #WorldNews #IranMissileComplex #IranSeismicZone #NuclearDoubts #TehranNews #IranBreaking #IranNuclearSpeculation #EarthquakeUpdates #IranUnderWatch #IranSpeculation #IranConflict #IranNuclearAmbitions ~HT.410~GR.122~
