Iran rejects ‘baseless’ US claim about Iran targeting chemical tanker off Indian coast | Oneindia
On December 25, an Iranian foreign ministry spokesperson dismissed the Pentagon's assertion of Iran's involvement in an alleged attack on a chemical ship off the coast of India as "groundless." This response comes in the wake of the United States military accusing Iran of a drone strike on the Japanese-owned chemical tanker MV Chem Pluto, described as "Israel-affiliated." Iran's foreign ministry spokesperson, Nasser Kanaani, addressed the accusations during a briefing, categorically rejecting them as baseless.
He urged Washington to confront allegations related to its involvement in Israel's actions in Gaza instead.
Kanaani characterised the claims as a deliberate effort to deflect public attention and to conceal what he described as the American government's unequivocal support for Israel's actions in Gaza.
Hezbollah’s Deputy Secretary-General Sheikh Naim Qassem delivers a fiery warning to Israel and the U.S., vowing that Lebanon will never surrender to foreign “tyranny.” Speaking from Beirut, Qassem declared the resistance against Israeli occupation and American influence as “divine and unstoppable.” As Israeli strikes escalate in South Lebanon, Hezbollah calls for national unity, warns against Western-backed factions, and frames its struggle as one for dignity, justice, and regional sovereignty. A bold message amid rising Middle East tensions.

A deadly ambush in eastern Khan Younis has left multiple Israeli soldiers dead after Palestinian resistance fighters detonated powerful explosives inside a booby-trapped house. Al-Quds Brigades and Islamic Jihad forces launched coordinated strikes using RPGs, barrel bombs, and the devastating “Thaqeb” device to destroy Israeli armor, including a Merkava tank.
The Israeli military scrambled helicopters for evacuation under heavy fire as reinforcements came under attack. This marks a major escalation in guerrilla-style warfare inside Gaza, with Palestinian factions warning of more complex and lethal operations ahead.
The IDF has acknowledged rising casualties—but Palestinian sources claim the real numbers are much higher. Is Israel losing control of its ground offensive?

400 kilograms of enriched uranium—gone. After joint airstrikes by Israel and the U.S. on Iran’s nuclear facilities, the world is left asking: Where is the uranium? Did Iran move it in time? Was it destroyed in the strikes? Or is it now scattered across secret sites, ready for weaponization?
In this video, we break down:
What happened during the June 13 airstrikes
Satellite images and intel reports from Fordow and Isfahan
Why the IAEA is being denied access
Theories behind the uranium’s disappearance
And what this mystery means for global diplomacy, nuclear security, and the next phase of U.S.-Iran tensions.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is scheduled to visit the White House on July 7 to meet U.S. President Donald Trump amid escalating efforts to end the 20-month-long Gaza war. The meeting will focus on securing a ceasefire, releasing hostages held for nearly two years, and addressing regional tensions with Iran following a recent U.S.-brokered halt to their 12-day air war. Israel is also pushing the U.S. to pressure Qatar to negotiate concessions from Hamas. This marks Netanyahu’s third meeting with Trump since January 2025. #Netanyahu #Trump #WhiteHouseMeeting #GazaWar #MiddleEastPeace #HostageCrisis #Israel #Hamas #IranTensions #Ceasefire #Qatar #USForeignPolicy #MideastConflict #Diplomacy #PeaceTalks #TrumpNetanyahuMeeting #GazaCeasefire #MideastDiplomacy #HostageNegotiations #USIsraelRelations #MiddleEastCrisis #IranIsraelConflict #QatarMediation #PeaceNegotiations #ConflictResolution #WarAndPeace

Israel has launched a wave of air strikes across Gaza, with northern Gaza City now a primary target following evacuation warnings from the Israeli military. At least 80 Palestinians have been killed since dawn, with dozens more wounded. Among the attacks was a strike on Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir el-Balah, raising fears of an impending and intensified ground offensive. The strikes come amid growing international concern over escalating civilian casualties and the targeting of critical infrastructure in one of the region’s most densely populated areas.
