Russia Accuses Quad Nations Of ‘Forcing’ India Into Military Bloc, Urges Revival Of RIC Alliance

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has accused Quad nations — the US, Japan, and Australia — of dragging India into a de facto military alliance, despite Delhi’s stated focus on economic ties. Speaking at a Eurasian security forum, Lavrov warned of coordinated naval drills aimed at militarizing Quad beyond its original scope. He also pushed to revive the dormant Russia-India-China (RIC) trilateral platform, asserting that Western powers are deliberately stoking Indo-China tensions by reframing the region as "Indo-Pacific" with anti-China goals. His remarks signal Moscow’s shifting strategic focus in Asia. #RussiaQuad #IndiaQuad #LavrovStatement #RICAlliance #IndiaChina #IndoPacific #RussiaIndiaChina #Geopolitics #QuadMilitary #MoscowDiplomacy #GlobalShifts #AsiaPacific #QuadTensions #RICRevival #LavrovWarning #GalwanClash #IndiaChinaBorder #WesternStrategies #MilitaryDrills #RussiaIndiaRelations Also Read India Rebukes Pakistan Over Indus Waters Treaty Remarks At UN Forum: 'Appalled' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/india-rebukes-pakistan-over-indus-waters-treaty-remarks-at-un-forum-appalled-4169437.html?ref=DMDesc Russia: Bridge Collapse Derails Train, At Least 7 Confirmed Dead :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/russia-bridge-collapse-derails-train-at-least-7-confirmed-dead-4169275.html?ref=DMDesc Adani Ports taps its Largest Ever Domestic bond - 5,000 crore 15-year NCD :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/apsez-secures-inr-5000-crore-via-non-convertible-debentures-012-4168661.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.102~

Putin’s Two-Faced Diplomacy EXPOSED: Urges Peace While Backing Iran’s Missile Strike On Israel

Russia is playing both arsonist and fireman. As Vladimir Putin urges Israel to resolve conflict through diplomacy, he openly defends Iran’s missile barrage on Tel Aviv. Moscow blasted Israel’s strikes as “unprovoked” and a violation of the UN Charter, and even offered Tehran condolences for its dead generals. The Kremlin paints itself as a peace broker — but is arming Iran, deepening ties, and offering to remove enriched uranium to "help." This dual narrative exposes a calculated double game as war looms in the Middle East. #RussiaIran #PutinIsraelTensions #MiddleEastCrisis #IranMissileStrike #TelAvivAttack #PutinDoubleGame #IranRetaliation #RussiaBacksIran #UNCharterViolation #KremlinDiplomacy #PutinVsIsrael #RussiaMiddleEast #BreakingNews #TehranStrike #IsraelIranConflict #MoscowSupportIran #PutinStrategy #MiddleEastWar #PutinContradiction #RussiaIsraelIran Also Read Iran Army Claims Its Suicide Drones Successfully Hit Targets :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/iran-army-claims-its-suicide-drones-successfully-hit-targets-4181599.html?ref=DMDesc Iran-Israel Conflict: India Issues Advisory For Nationals In Israel; Warns Citizens To Remain Vigilant :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/iran-israel-conflict-india-issues-advisory-for-nationals-in-israel-warns-citizens-to-remain-vigila-4181365.html?ref=DMDesc From Covert Ops To All-Out Strike: How Israel And Iran Reached The Brink :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/from-covert-ops-to-all-out-strike-how-israel-and-iran-reached-the-brink-4181293.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.420~

U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham tore into Russian President Vladimir Putin for backing Iran after Israel's massive retaliatory strikes, calling Moscow's legal advice on warfare "rich even for the Russians." Putin condemned Israel's actions and spoke with both Iran and Israel, pushing diplomacy. Graham accused Russia of invading Ukraine barbarically and warned India and China: keep aiding Putin, and you'll regret it. As explosions shook Tel Aviv and missiles rained down, the geopolitical crisis deepened, with Russia pledging closer contact with both sides amid a regional flashpoint. #LindseyGraham #Putin #RussiaIran #IsraelIranConflict #IsraelStrikes #Gaza #IndiaChina #MiddleEastTensions #IranMissiles #PutinSpeech #TelAvivAttack #JerusalemStrike #UNCharter #BushehrPlant #RussiaCondemnsIsrael #GrahamVsPutin #IsraelIranMissile #NuclearConflict #Geopolitics #MiddleEastCrisis Also Read Iran Army Claims Its Suicide Drones Successfully Hit Targets :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/iran-army-claims-its-suicide-drones-successfully-hit-targets-4181599.html?ref=DMDesc Who Is Kannadiga Scientist Dr Prahlada Ramarao And Why Is His Name Trending Amid The Iran-Israel Conflict? :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/who-is-kannadiga-scientist-dr-prahlada-ramarao-and-why-is-his-name-trending-amid-the-iran-israel-con-4181557.html?ref=DMDesc Iran-Israel Conflict: India Issues Advisory For Nationals In Israel; Warns Citizens To Remain Vigilant :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/iran-israel-conflict-india-issues-advisory-for-nationals-in-israel-warns-citizens-to-remain-vigila-4181365.html?ref=DMDesc

Iran-Israel War Goes Nuclear? Iran Says it Hit Israel’s Dimona Nuclear Site In Revenge For Natanz

In a dramatic escalation, Iran has claimed it directly struck Israel’s highly sensitive Dimona nuclear facility in response to Israeli airstrikes on Iran’s Natanz nuclear site. The alleged attack came during a massive overnight barrage involving more than 150 Iranian missiles and drones targeting key Israeli defense and nuclear assets. While Israeli authorities have not confirmed a direct hit on Dimona, the claim—if verified—would mark a chilling new phase in the Iran-Israel conflict. #IranIsraelWar #OperationTruePromise3 #IsraelRisingLion #TelAvivAttack #DimonaStrike #IranVsIsrael #IranAttackIsrael #IsraelAttackIran #MiddleEastConflict #IranianMissileStrike #IRGCAttack #ZionistRegimeTargeted #IsraelNuclearSiteHit #NatanzRevenge #IranStrikesBack #IsraelUnderAttack #WarInMiddleEast #IRGCvsIsrael #IranIsraelCrisis #BreakingWarNews
