Rubio’s Funny Banter About Jaishankar at QUAD Meet Goes Viral | Jaishankar Scolds US Over Terrorism At the QUAD Foreign Ministers’ Meeting in Washington D.C., U.S. Secretary Marco Rubio jokingly called Indian External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar a “very busy guy,” noting his constant travel.

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

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~
