Trump To Send Envoy To Russia Days Before Ceasefire Deadline, Warns Of Sweeping Tariffs On Trade

U.S. President Donald Trump has revealed that his special envoy, Steve Witkoff, may visit Russia on August 6 or 7 — just one or two days before the ceasefire deadline he has set for Moscow. If Russia fails to reach a peace deal with Ukraine by August 8, Trump says sweeping secondary tariffs will hit Russian oil and gas exports — and also target countries like India and China that continue to trade with Moscow. Witkoff, who controversially met President Putin in April, drew criticism for echoing Kremlin narratives and using Russian translators during their talks. Despite his original role as Middle East envoy, Witkoff now appears to be Trump’s unofficial channel to Putin. The pressure is mounting: Trump says sanctions are ready, but also admitted Russia is “pretty good at avoiding them.” A critical moment is approaching, with diplomatic brinkmanship and global trade consequences at stake. #Trump #Russia #UkraineWar #CeasefireDeadline #SteveWitkoff #Putin #Sanctions #Tariffs #RussianOil #China #India #MiddleEastEnvoy #MoscowMeeting #Kremlin #TrumpAdministration #OilTrade #UkraineConflict #GlobalTrade #SecondaryTariffs #TrumpNews ~HT.410~GR.122~

Yemeni Drones Pound Israeli Sites-3 Blasts Light Up Night Sky |Retaliation Footage Shows Direct Hits

The conflict escalates. In a bold and coordinated strike, the Yemeni armed forces launched three drones targeting Israeli military positions deep inside the occupied territories. The explosive visuals show fiery impacts across Yaffa, Ashkelon, and the port of Haifa, in what the Houthis call a retaliatory operation for Gaza. The Yemenis say they will continue their drone and missile campaigns until Israel ends its siege and offensive in Gaza. This marks one of the most significant escalations from Yemen in recent weeks, signaling a regional expansion of the war that now stretches far beyond Gaza’s borders. Israel has not officially responded, but analysts warn that more such strikes could provoke a wider Middle East confrontation. Watch the footage, military impact analysis, and the warning signs the world is ignoring. #Yemen #Israel #GazaWar #DroneStrike #Houthis #MiddleEastConflict #BreakingNews #RedSeaCrisis #Ashkelon #Haifa #YemeniDrones #IDF #RetaliationStrike #OccupiedTerritories #WarFootage #GazaUnderAttack #HouthiResistance #WarEscalation #MilitaryNews #WorldWarWarning ~HT.178~GR.122~PR.274~ED.103~

‘Disarmament Is Not…’ Hamas Refuses To Disarm Without Palestinian State | Hostage Crisis EXPLODES

Tensions in the Middle East escalated as Hamas declared it will not disarm unless a fully sovereign Palestinian state is established with Jerusalem as its capital. This declaration came after U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff claimed Hamas showed willingness to lay down arms—an assertion Hamas quickly rejected. Israel, meanwhile, maintains disarmament as a non-negotiable precondition for any ceasefire deal. As ceasefire negotiations stall, pressure builds from Western and Arab nations urging Hamas to give up arms. Meanwhile, a shocking video of Israeli hostage Evyatar David emaciated in captivity triggered a fresh wave of outrage. The humanitarian crisis in Gaza deepens, with UN agencies reporting hundreds killed while seeking aid. U.S. envoy Witkoff, currently in Israel, has met with hostage families and criticized partial peace plans. With over 60,000 deaths in Gaza and starvation rising, global calls intensify for an urgent resolution to end the bloodshed. #gaza #hamas #israel #trump #witkoff #hostagecrisis #ceasefire #gazawar #palestine #netanyahu #usenvoy #twostatesolution #humanitariancatastrophe #gazafamine #idf #reconstruction #telavivprotests #gazaceasefire #hamasdisarmament #middleeastpeace ~HT.410~GR.124~ED.102~

Hamas Hits Back at U.S. “Bad Faith” Claim as Ceasefire Talks Collapse | 28 Nations Slam Israel

Tensions flare as Hamas rejects U.S. accusations that it derailed ceasefire negotiations, insisting it submitted a final response after wide consultations. The Palestinian group claims it remains committed to halting Israeli aggression and securing desperately needed humanitarian aid for Gaza.

ISRAEL HIT HARD: Hamas KILLS 5 IDF Soldiers In IED Explosive Attack | Undefeated HAMAS Rises Again

In a major escalation, five Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) soldiers have been killed and fourteen others wounded following a sophisticated IED (Improvised Explosive Device) attack by Hamas. The incident occurred in Beit Hanoun, a hotspot in northern Gaza that has seen a recent surge in militant activity. According to reports, the attack targeted an army medical unit that was entering the area to evacuate soldiers who were wounded in earlier fighting. Four of the fallen soldiers were from the 97th Netzah Yehuda Battalion, with the fifth belonging to the Northern Gaza Brigade. The IDF has officially named some of the deceased, including Staff Sgt. Noam Musgadian and Sgt. Moshe Frech, as the nation mourns their loss. All fourteen injured soldiers have been evacuated for urgent medical treatment. This attack comes at a critical time, coinciding with indirect ceasefire talks between Israel and Hamas, mediated in Doha, Qatar. The latest round of talks on Monday ended without any significant breakthrough. Adding a layer of political drama to the tragedy, a photograph circulated by RT News allegedly captured Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's furious reaction to the news, which he reportedly received just before a dinner with former U.S. President Donald Trump. This deadly incident, occurring two years into the Israel-Gaza war, highlights the persistent threat posed by Hamas and raises serious questions about Israel's ability to completely secure the region and neutralize the group's operational capabilities. #IsraelHamasWar #Gaza #Israel #BreakingNews #Hamas #Netanyahu #IDF #WorldNews #OneindiaNews #LatestNews

Israel-Hamas Talks 'A FAILURE', Delegations arrive with No Mandate — Gaza & Hostages Still in Danger

Ceasefire hopes dim as the first round of indirect talks between Israel and Hamas ends inconclusively in Doha, Qatar. According to Palestinian sources, the Israeli delegation arrived without the authority to finalize a deal — casting serious doubt on Netanyahu’s commitment to ending the war. Meanwhile, Gaza remains under siege, with over 57,000 Palestinians killed, infrastructure destroyed, and hostages still held captive. As Netanyahu heads to Washington for a third meeting with President Trump, pressure mounts from both international mediators and citizens at home demanding action.

Why Qatari Def. System Saved Al-Udeid Base Not U.S? All About Iran Attack On Qatar

In a dramatic twist, it was Qatar’s own air defense system—not U.S. interceptors—that initially shielded the Al‑Udeid Air Base from Iran’s multi‑warhead Ghadr‑H missiles. Seamlessly integrated and rapidly activated, Doha’s Patriot batteries detected and neutralized several incoming warheads, halting their approach before CENTCOM’s systems could fully engage. The speed and precision of Qatar’s defense network underscored the country’s strategic importance and deep coordination with U.S. forces. Experts suggest this success could reshape Gulf military dynamics and highlights Qatar’s growing role as frontline guardian amid Iran’s escalating retaliatory campaign. #IranMissileStrike #AlUdeidBase #QatarDefense #IRGCAttack #USBasesTargeted #GhadrHMissile #MiddleEastTensions #OperationTidingsOfVictory #BallisticMissiles #CENTCOMQatar #IranRetaliation #StraitOfHormuz #IranVsUSA #QatarAirDefense #USMilitaryAlert #RedAlertQatar #DohaExplosions #MissileInterception #IranWarFootage #USIranCrisis ~HT.318~ED.103~GR.125~

Air India Incident: Runway Scare at Mumbai Airport During Heavy Rain

An Air India incident was narrowly averted at Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport on July 21, 2025, when flight AI 2744, an Airbus A320 from Kochi, veered off the runway during heavy rainfall. The Air India incident occurred at 9:27 AM, as the aircraft briefly entered a muddy area near the runway but returned to the tarmac without getting stuck. While all passengers and crew were safe, three tyres burst and possible engine damage was reported. The Air India incident prompted activation of emergency response teams, and operations have shifted to the secondary runway as minor damage was sustained on the primary strip. #AirIndiaIncident #MumbaiAirport #RunwayExcursion #AviationNews #EmergencyLanding ~HT.410~PR.282~GR.125~PR.152~
