Syria’s former Foreign Minister Farouk Al-Sharaa has agreed—under a secret deal—to drop Damascus’s longstanding claim to the Golan Heights in exchange for undisclosed political and security guarantees from Israel.

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 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~

‘Eilat Port Shut Forever’ Houthis DECLARE War On Israel | BANS Israeli-Linked Vessels From Red Sea [Video]

‘Eilat Port Shut Forever’ Houthis DECLARE War On Israel | BANS Israeli-Linked Vessels From Red Sea

Yemen’s Ansarullah leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi has declared that the reopening of Israel’s Eilat port is now “impossible,” reaffirming Yemen’s firm blockade on Israeli-linked shipping through the Red Sea, Gulf of Aden, and Arabian Sea. In a defiant televised address, al-Houthi warned all shipping companies against aiding Israel, promising decisive retaliation. He cited the Yemeni Navy's missile strike on the ETERNITY C and the dramatic sinking of the Magic Seas as warnings. Yemen’s naval campaign began in November 2023 in solidarity with Gaza, following Israel’s bombing campaign. Al-Houthi denounced Israeli airstrikes on Hudaydah and praised Yemen’s missile defense systems. He stated that despite near-total U.S. backing, Israel had failed militarily, especially in Gaza, where resistance fighters killed and wounded nearly 20 Israeli soldiers in a single operation. The Red Sea front, he asserted, now belongs to the resistance — and Eilat is no longer open. #RedSeaBlockade #AnsarullahWarning #HouthiVsIsrael #EilatPortClosed #MagicSeasAttack #ETERNITYCStrike #IsraelYemenConflict #YemenSolidarity #GazaResistance #HouthisControlRedSea #YemenNavalBan #IsraelShippingCrisis #AlHouthiSpeech #MaritimeSanctionsIsrael #HudaydahAirstrikes #ZionistBlockadeResponse #ResistanceVsOccupation #IsraelGazaGenocide #GazaCasualties #USBacksIsrael ~HT.410~GR.122~

Houthi Missile Attack on Israeli Cities Caught on Camera—IDF Intercepts in Air | Sirens Wail Across!

On July 10, 2025, a missile launched from Yemen by Iran-backed Houthi rebels was intercepted by Israel’s air defense systems. Sirens blared across Jerusalem, central Israel, and parts of the West Bank as civilians rushed to shelters in panic. The IDF confirmed the interception and has since carried out retaliatory airstrikes on Houthi launch sites. This strike is part of a growing wave of regional escalation, with missile threats now emerging from Gaza, Lebanon, and Yemen. Houthis claim the attack was in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza, where over 57,000 have reportedly been killed since the Israeli military campaign began in late 2023. With tensions mounting, the region stands on the brink of a broader war.

Turkey’s Big WARNING Against Israel Amid Attack On Houthis | BRICS Summit Boils Over Israel? [Video]

Turkey’s Big WARNING Against Israel Amid Attack On Houthis | BRICS Summit Boils Over Israel?

At the 17th BRICS Summit in Rio, Turkey's Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan delivered a chilling warning: Israel’s unchecked aggression could spiral into global instability. Fidan accused Tel Aviv of reversing decades of development through its war in Gaza and said multilateral institutions are now facing a legitimacy crisis. He called on the international community to act before it’s too late. His warning came amid growing BRICS concerns over AI weaponization, global peace, and economic fairness. Fidan alleged that Israel has used artificial intelligence as a tool of warfare, fueling unrest from Gaza to Yemen. With over 57,000 dead in Gaza and rising tensions across Lebanon, Syria, and Iran, BRICS leaders are urging urgent reforms. The summit, already focused on AI governance and peacekeeping, now confronts the fallout of Israel’s regional ambitions and the West’s blind eye. #BRICS2025 #IsraelGazaWar #TurkeyWarning #HakanFidan #AIWarfare #GlobalCrisis #GazaGenocide #MiddleEastWar #BRICSSummit #ArtificialIntelligence #Multilateralism #GlobalSecurity #PalestineCrisis #IranRetaliation #USIsraelAlliance #GlobalSouth #Geopolitics #WarCrimes #AIWeapons #IsraelExpansionism ~HT.410~ED.420~GR.124~

Hezbollah Chief Sheikh Naim Qassem WARNS of Continued Resistance until Israel’s COMPLETE DESTRUCTION

Hezbollah Deputy Chief Naim Qassem has firmly rejected any normalization deal with Israel, vowing continued resistance until full Israeli withdrawal and ceasefire conditions are met. Speaking on the final day of Ashura commemorations, Qassem said defending Lebanon’s sovereignty requires no foreign approval and warned against disarmament under U.S. pressure. While open to dialogue, he stressed that any peace must respect Lebanon’s dignity and resistance. The remarks come amid rising regional tensions and renewed calls for a security agreement. #Hezbollah #NaimQassem #Lebanon #Ashura2025 #IsraelLebanon #MiddleEastConflict #NoNormalization #Resistance #LebanonSovereignty #QassemSpeaks #LebaneseDefense #RegionalTensions #CeasefireNow #USPressure #OccupiedTerritories #PeaceWithDignity #RejectSurrender #FreeLebanon #IsraelOccupation #HezbollahStance #AxisOfResistance #MiddleEastPolitics #SecurityDeal #DisarmamentDebate #NationalDialogue #HezbollahIsrael #BreakingNews #LebanonNews Also Read Lebanon and Syria Agree to Ceasefire Following Two Days of Border Clashes :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/lebanon-syria-ceasefire-agreement-border-clashes-011-4097569.html?ref=DMDesc Homeland Security Deports Professor Dr. Rasha Alawieh for Supporting Hezbollah Leader :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/homeland-security-deports-professor-supporting-hezbollah-leader-011-4097539.html?ref=DMDesc Hundreds of Thousands Attend Funeral of Hezbollah Leader Hassan Nasrallah in Beirut :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/funeral-of-hezbollah-leader-hassan-nasrallah-beirut-011-4078987.html?ref=DMDesc ~GR.124~HT.408~ED.103~

WATCH: Israeli Drone STRIKE Captured On Video | Target Vehicle OBLITERATED In South Beirut Blast [Video]

WATCH: Israeli Drone STRIKE Captured On Video | Target Vehicle OBLITERATED In South Beirut Blast

Chilling new video captures the exact moment an Israeli drone strike destroyed a vehicle on a busy civilian road in Khaldeh, south of Beirut. The targeted attack, which took place amidst regular traffic, resulted in the death of one individual and left three others injured. The incident has sent shockwaves through the region and raised fears of a wider conflict. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) swiftly claimed responsibility for the strike. In a public statement, the IDF claimed it had successfully targeted and eliminated a militant affiliated with Iran’s Quds Force. According to Israeli military sources, the individual killed was deeply involved in smuggling weapons into the region and was actively planning terror attacks against both Israeli civilians and military forces. However, neither Israeli nor Lebanese officials have officially released the name or confirmed the identity of the person killed. This strike is not an isolated event but the latest in a series of escalating Israeli military actions in Lebanon following the collapse of a ceasefire weeks ago. On July 2, another Israeli airstrike in a civilian zone in Nabatieh injured two people, including a child. Furthermore, Israeli troops recently conducted a raid in the Al-Adisa area, targeting Hezbollah fighters. This pattern of conflict was also seen on June 28, when an Israeli drone strike in Kounine killed three people, including senior Hezbollah leader Hassan Hammoudi. These continuous strikes are fueling a volatile situation on the Israel-Lebanon border. #Israel #Lebanon #DroneStrike #Beirut #Khaldeh #IDF #QudsForce #Hezbollah #MiddleEast #BreakingNews #PressTV #UAVStrike #CivilianCasualties #Netanyahu #Iran #LebanonConflict #TerrorPlot #IDFStrike #BeirutBlast #SouthBeirut #Airstrike #IDFOperations #GazaWar #IsraelIran #ConflictZone #LiveFire #LebanonNews #DroneFootage #HezbollahTarget #StrikeAlert #CeasefireCollapse ~HT.318~ED.346~GR.122~
