American Senators Fight Over Iran Strikes | Republicans Say 'Years Set Back', Dems Call Trump it LIE

A fierce clash erupted in the U.S. Senate after a classified briefing on the recent U.S. airstrikes on Iran's nuclear facilities. While Republicans praised the strikes as a major setback for Iran’s nuclear ambitions, Democrats cast doubt, with Sen. Chris Murphy bluntly saying Trump’s claims of “obliteration” don’t add up. Intelligence reports suggest Iran's program may have only been delayed by months—not years. As the truth behind the strike’s impact unfolds, partisan divisions are intensifying in Washington. #IranStrikes #TrumpNews #SenateClash #USPolitics #IranNuclear #ChrisMurphy #RepublicansVsDemocrats #BreakingNews #MiddleEastCrisis #OneindiaNews #Geopolitics #TrumpAdministration #USMilitary #IranTensions Also Read Iran's Khamenei Warns Against Future US Attacks After Ceasefire Agreement :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/irans-khamenei-warns-against-future-us-attacks-011-7784453.html?ref=DMDesc Iran's Guardian Council Approves Bill To Suspend Cooperation With IAEA :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/irans-guardian-council-approves-bill-to-suspend-cooperation-with-iaea-7784177.html?ref=DMDesc Mystery Shrouds Over Supreme Leader Khamenei’s Whereabouts As Iran Faces Military Crisis :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/mystery-shrouds-over-supreme-leader-khamenei-s-whereabouts-as-iran-faces-military-crisis-7783667.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.346~PR.274~GR.122~

U.S’ Priority Changed? Trump Favouring China-India Over EU? | EU Side-lined As Trump Looks East

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen reminded Donald Trump that the EU remains open for a trade deal—but the U.S. President made it clear: China and India come first. Speaking after sealing deals with Beijing and hinting at a "very big" one with India, Trump gave no indication of engaging with Europe anytime soon. The EU, once a top U.S. economic partner, is now seemingly sidelined as Washington pivots eastward. The diplomatic slight leaves Brussels waiting in line—behind two of the world’s biggest emerging powerhouses. #TrumpChinaIndiaDeal #TrumpSnubsEU #VonDerLeyen #USIndiaTrade #USChinaDeal #EUSidelined #GlobalTradeShift #AmericaFirstPolicy #EUTradeTalks #TrumpPriorities #IndoUSRelations #ChinaUSDeal #TrumpVsEurope #TradeDiplomacy #GlobalPolitics #ModiTrumpDeal #BeijingWashingtonTrade #BrusselsLeftBehind #TradeShock #GeopoliticalReset Also Read US Will Soon Sign Very Big Deal With India: Trump :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-will-soon-sign-very-big-deal-with-india-trump-7784501.html?ref=DMDesc Trump’s Iran Strike Claims Under Scrutiny: Intelligence Reports Raise Doubts About ‘Total Obliteration’ :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-s-iran-strike-claims-under-scrutiny-intelligence-reports-raise-doubts-about-total-obliterati-7783233.html?ref=DMDesc Swearing at the World Stage: Trump’s Anger Reveals the Limits of U.S. Mediation in the Israel-Iran Conflict :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/swearing-at-the-world-stage-trump-s-anger-reveals-the-limits-of-u-s-mediation-in-the-israel-iran-c-7781983.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.102~HT.408~

''They Should Be Prosecuted…'': Trump BIG Allegation Against Democrats For ‘Leaking’ Iran's Plan

U.S. President Donald Trump has accused Democrats of leaking classified intel about U.S. airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites, branding it a “perfect flight” betrayal. He demanded prosecution, despite the FBI finding no direct evidence implicating any political party. The leak revealed that Iran’s nuclear capacity was only delayed by months, contradicting Trump’s claims of a full strike success. While Trump lashes out, the White House urges caution, and intelligence agencies brace for more fallout. Lawmakers are set for briefings, as political tensions rise over national security leaks. #Trump #IranStrike #IranNuclear #IntelligenceLeak #TrumpVsDemocrats #FBIInvestigation #USPolitics #TruthSocial #MiddleEast #Khamenei #USIranTensions #Pentagon #IranDeal #LeakedIntel #TrumpNews #NuclearSiteStrike #Espionage #ForeignPolicy #ClassifiedDocuments #DIA Also Read Mystery Shrouds Over Supreme Leader Khamenei’s Whereabouts As Iran Faces Military Crisis :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/mystery-shrouds-over-supreme-leader-khamenei-s-whereabouts-as-iran-faces-military-crisis-7783667.html?ref=DMDesc Iranian Citizens Contemplate Future After 12-Day War and US-Brokered Ceasefire :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/12-day-war-ceasefire-iran-future-concerns-011-7783479.html?ref=DMDesc US Strikes Set Back Iran Nuclear Program by Few Months: Early Intelligence Report :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-strikes-set-back-iran-nuclear-program-by-few-months-early-intelligence-report-7782349.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.102~

Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ Collapse as Senate Balks |Medicaid Cuts, $4.2T Deficit, July 4 Deadline

U.S President Donald Trump is turning up the heat on Senate Republicans to pass his signature tax-and-spending package — dubbed the “Big, Beautiful Bill” — before the July 4 deadline. The legislation includes sweeping tax cuts, boosts to border security, and expanded child tax credits. But it also slashes Medicaid and food stamp funding, raising fierce opposition from Democrats who call it a “Big, Ugly Betrayal.” With a $4.2 trillion projected impact on the national deficit, a blocked Medicaid tax provision, and wavering GOP senators, the bill’s future hangs in the balance. Can Trump rally the votes in time, or is this another legislative collapse in the making? #TrumpTaxBill #BigBeautifulBill #MedicaidCuts #GOP #SenateShowdown #July4Deadline #USPolitics #SNAPCuts #TrumpNews #Republicans #TaxReform #HealthcareCrisis #BidenVsTrump #CapitolHill #BreakingNews ~HT.178~GR.122~ED.102~PR.274~

“He looks terrible like”—Trump Blasts India-born 'Socialist Muslim' Zohran Mamdani | NYC Mayrol Poll

Donald Trump has launched a scathing personal attack on Zohran Mamdani — the 33-year-old Indian-origin socialist who just won New York City's Democratic mayoral primary.

Russia-Ukraine War Breaking: Trump Moves U.S' Patriot Missile System From Israel to Ukraine

Ukraine is set to receive more U.S.-made Patriot air-defense systems as deadly Russian strikes intensify. A refurbished system from Israel is being rerouted, with Germany or Greece possibly sending another. While Trump pushes for peace, Zelensky’s plea for more weapons resurfaces after a missile strike killed 13 in Kyiv. With U.S. weapons deliveries from Biden’s era nearing exhaustion, the incoming Patriots are vital. The recent minerals deal between Ukraine and the U.S. could also open the door for further arms support as Kyiv braces for another wave of Russian aggression. #UkraineWar #PatriotMissiles #AirDefense #TrumpUkraine #Zelensky #RussiaUkraine #MissileStrike #KyivAttack #USMilitaryAid #BidenPolicy #MineralsDeal #Greece #Germany #IsraelToUkraine #Putin #PatriotSystem #DefenseSupport #NATO #VaticanMeeting #UkraineWeapons ~HT.336~GR.125~ED.102~

Trump’s ‘Catch & Revoke’ SHOCKER: Foreign Students at Risk Over ‘Minor Offences’ | Outrage Erupts

The Trump administration’s new “Catch & Revoke” visa policy allows authorities to Strip foreign nationals—including students—of their visas for even minor infractions. Introduced by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, the directive cracks down on foreign students allegedly supporting Hamas or joining campus protests. Civil liberties groups are alarmed, calling the rule vague and prone to abuse. Legal challenges are already underway, while Trump’s allies claim it's vital for national security. Universities, meanwhile, are facing new scrutiny over foreign funding and political ties under expanded America First reforms. #TrumpVisaPolicy #CatchAndRevoke #ForeignStudents #StudentVisaBan #MarcoRubio #ImmigrationNews #USPolitics #HamasProtests #PalestineProtests #TrumpSecondTerm #AmericaFirst #FreeSpeech #DueProcess #CampusProtests #VisaRevocation #USImmigration #NGOFunding #InternationalStudents #StateDepartment #NationalSecurity Also Read Why Donald Trump's Trade Tariffs Are Threat To Global Food Security :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/why-donald-trumps-trade-tariffs-are-threat-to-global-food-security-4142083.html?ref=DMDesc CIA, Other Spy Agencies Set To Shrink Workforce Under Donald Trump Administration Plan :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/cia-other-spy-agencies-set-to-shrink-workforce-under-donald-trump-administration-plan-4142055.html?ref=DMDesc US President Donald Trump Viral Video: Was He Mocking Pakistan’s Water Crisis Or Something Else?
