Israel Threatens Yemen With Tehran-Style Strikes After Missile Intercept - "Will Cut Off That Hand"

srael’s Defense Minister Israel Katz has issued a chilling warning to Yemen’s Houthi rebels after a ballistic missile was intercepted by Israeli defenses late Tuesday.

As air raid sirens rang out across central Israel and civilians scrambled for shelters, Katz warned: “Whoever raises a hand against Israel – that hand will be cut off.” The intercepted missile, launched from Houthi-controlled Yemen, marks yet another escalation in the widening Middle East conflict.

Trump Tightens Syria Embrace LIFTS All Sanctions | ‘New Syria’ under Ex-Al Qaeda Operative Al-Sharaa

In a stunning foreign policy pivot, Donald Trump lifts decades-old U.S. sanctions on Syria following the fall of Bashar al-Assad. Backing the new regime under Ahmed al-Sharaa—an ex-Al-Nusra figure—Trump promises economic revival, regional stability, and a “fresh start” in U.S.-Syria ties. Over 500 sanctions are lifted as the White House redefines strategy in the Middle East. Critics warn of legitimizing a controversial figure.

Iran Says 935 Killed In IDF’s Airstrikes |Israeli Claims Considered ‘False’ After Iran’s Death Toll?

Iran’s judiciary has reported that 935 people were killed during the 12-day Israeli aerial bombardment, according to forensics data cited by state media. Among the dead are 132 women and 38 children, indicating the significant civilian toll. The Israeli military has stated it targeted Iranian military leaders, nuclear scientists, and facilities, including suspected nuclear development sites. While Israel claims its strikes were strategic and defense-oriented, Iranian officials have condemned them as indiscriminate and brutal, escalating tensions in an already fragile region. The death toll adds weight to calls for international accountability and raises questions about the conduct of war and proportionality in military engagements. The 12-day conflict marked one of the most intense escalations between the two nations, with ripple effects across the Middle East. As both countries navigate the aftermath, Iran is pushing for diplomatic and legal responses while also reinforcing its defense capabilities. #Iran #Israel #MiddleEastConflict #Airstrikes #CivilianCasualties #IranIsraelWar #BreakingNews #IranJudiciary #AsgharJahangir #MilitaryTension #NuclearStrike #IsraelAirForce #ProIranCoverage #UNResponse #HumanRights #WarCrimes #MiddleEastNews #WomenAndChildrenKilled #TelAviv #IranianDefense Also Read Mumbai Reports First Death Due To Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS), Toll Raises To 8 :: https://www.oneindia.com/mumbai/mumbai-reports-first-death-due-to-guillain-barr-syndrome-gbs-toll-raises-to-8-4068983.html?ref=DMDesc Maharashtra Ordnance Factory Blast: Death Toll Rises To 8; Rajnath Singh, Gadkari Express Condolence :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/maharashtra-ordnance-factory-blast-death-toll-rises-to-8-rajnath-singh-gadkari-express-condolence-4051689.html?ref=DMDesc Jalgaon Train Accident: Revised Death Toll Reaches 12, Seven Victims Identified as Nepalese :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/jalgaon-train-accident-toll-revised-to-12-seven-nepalese-victims-011-4051165.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.194~HT.408~GR.125~

Ukraine Left in Dark? US Scrambles to Deny Aid Miscommunication as Trump Freezes New Weapons Package

Is Ukraine really in the dark about suspended U.S. military aid? The U.S. State Department responds to reports claiming Kyiv learned of the aid pause through the media. Spokesperson Tammy Bruce insists communication took place—but Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense says no official notice was ever received. With Trump yet to greenlight new defense packages and stockpiles running low, pressure mounts as the war with Russia enters a critical phase. Are U.S.-Ukraine ties beginning to fray?

‘Trump Can Go F**k Himself’: Ukraine BLASTS U.S For Sudden Suspension of Weapons Aid | U.S-Ukraine

The United States has abruptly paused deliveries of key military aid—air defence ammunition, missiles, and artillery shells—to Ukraine under Trump’s “America First” doctrine. Ukrainian MPs blasted this move, insisting “the United States is no longer our ally.” Mariana Bezuglaya and Solomiya Bobrovskaya accused the administration of sidelining Kyiv, even summoning the US chargé d’affaires to demand resumed support. President Trump told Zelensky at The Hague that US systems are “very hard to get” and prioritized for national and Israeli defense. Meanwhile, Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell confirmed a “capability review” to align aid with US interests. Kiev warns that this retrenchment could empower Russian advances toward Dnipro and Sumy, diminishing Ukraine’s defence. Moscow, unburdened, claims strategic initiative on the frontline. The aid suspension represents a major shift in US foreign policy and risks weakening Ukraine’s resistance as the war grinds on. #Ukraine #USUkraine #Trump #AmericaFirst #MilitaryAid #WeaponSuspension #Pentagon #CapReview #Dnipro #Sumy #UkraineRussia #Zelensky #NATO #ForeignPolicy #AirDefense #Missiles #Artillery #USForeignPolicy #UkraineWar #USInternational

In this video, we break down what led to the latest nuclear standoff, the implications of Iran possibly exiting the NPT, the frozen US-Iran nuclear talks, and what Donald Trump and Biden are saying about sanctions and diplomacy. Will Iran return to the negotiating table, or are we on the brink of a new nuclear crisis?

Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ Suffers MASSIVE Blow As GOP Defect Ahead Of July 4 Showdown

President Donald Trump’s massive $3.3 trillion tax and spending bill has hit a major roadblock in the House of Representatives. In a critical procedural vote held Wednesday, only 181 GOP lawmakers backed the bill, with four Republicans — Andrew Clyd, Victoria Sparta, Keith Self, and Brian Fitzpatrick — voting against it and 35 not voting. With Trump demanding passage by July 4, the GOP now faces a race against time to secure the 217 votes needed. The defections have rattled Republican leadership, already under pressure from internal divisions over the bill’s spending cuts and debt ceiling provisions. Trump, who branded the bill “One Big Beautiful Bill,” now faces growing resistance within his own party. Will GOP unity crumble, or will backroom deals seal a victory before the deadline? #trump #TrumpBill #HouseVote #GOPRevolt #TrumpTaxPlan #VictoriaSparta #KeithSelf #USPolitics #TaxReform #TrumpSpending #RepublicansDivided #TrumpBudget #July4Deadline #GOPCrisis #BrianFitzpatrick #AndrewClyd #BigBeautifulBill #CongressDrama #HouseRepublicans #DebtCeilingFight #TrumpNews ~HT.178~GR.122~ED.346~

Footage shows Israeli soldiers trapped under relentless fire in Kaf al-Qarara. These attacks are part of a renewed wave of ambushes and explosive tactics.

"Glorious Triumph" Trump Hails ‘Historic’ Peace Deal Between DR Congo and Rwanda | White House

In a landmark diplomatic moment, DR Congo and Rwanda signed a historic U.S.-brokered peace deal in Washington aimed at ending decades of deadly conflict. President Donald Trump called it a “glorious triumph” while hosting the signing ceremony in the Oval Office, flanked by VP JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio. The agreement includes “disengagement, disarmament and conditional integration” of armed groups and signals potential U.S. access to DR Congo’s rare earth minerals. Yet deep questions remain—especially regarding the M23 rebels, Rwandan troop presence, and humanitarian access. With both countries denying support for rival militias, the full terms remain classified, fueling skepticism. Trump, however, hailed it as a generational victory. Previous similar treaties have failed. But this deal, supported by earlier Qatari mediation, might offer a sliver of hope in a region long marred by instability and mineral-fueled warfare. #TrumpPeaceDeal #DRCongo #Rwanda #WashingtonTreaty #TrumpDiplomacy #PeaceTriumph #TrumpInAfrica #RareEarthAccess #RwandaConflict #CongoCrisis #MineralDeal #TrumpOvalOffice #JDVance #PaulKagame #Tshisekedi #M23Rebels #FDLR #AfricaPeaceDeal #TrumpVictory #USInAfrica ~HT.318~ED.102~GR.122~
