Israeli forces have launched a significant escalation in Syria, with Israeli tanks advancing to within 20 kilometers of Damascus following a strategic offensive in the Golan Heights.
The assault, which includes relentless airstrikes, has severely crippled Syria’s military defenses, destroying key military installations and air bases across the country.
The Israeli army has rapidly advanced through several towns and villages in the southern countryside of Damascus, signaling a shift in the conflict.
With military infrastructure in ruins and Israeli forces now dangerously close to the Syrian capital, the situation remains dire as tensions in the region reach a critical point.
Trump Vs BRICS: In a move set to rattle global markets, former President Donald Trump has issued a severe warning to the BRICS nations and their allies. He threatens to impose a blanket 10% tariff on any country adopting what he terms "anti-American" policies backed by the bloc. This declaration comes after the 2025 BRICS Summit in Brazil, where the member nations, now numbering ten, issued a joint condemnation of recent US-Israel strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, calling them "illegal."
The BRICS bloc, now representing 45% of the global population and 35% of the world's GDP, has become a significant geopolitical force. In their summit, they also criticized the West's "double standards" on global terror, specifically citing the Pahalgam attack in Kashmir as an example. This direct reference brings the conflict to India's doorstep. Trump claims the tariff letters for 12 countries are already "signed and ready," though sources suggest this could be a strategic bluff to test the bloc's unity.
This escalating tension is rooted in BRICS's core mission: to reduce dependence on the U.S. dollar. With their internal trade hitting $1 trillion in 2025 through local currency systems, the bloc, heavily influenced by China and Russia, is seen as a direct challenge to America's sanctions power and its dominance via institutions like the IMF and G7. For Trump, the bloc's growing anti-West stance and expanding economic influence represents a primary threat to American global leadership, setting the stage for a potential economic war.

Hezbollah Deputy Chief Naim Qassem has firmly rejected any normalization deal with Israel, vowing continued resistance until full Israeli withdrawal and ceasefire conditions are met. Speaking on the final day of Ashura commemorations, Qassem said defending Lebanon’s sovereignty requires no foreign approval and warned against disarmament under U.S. pressure.

In a dramatic escalation, Israel has launched a wave of devastating airstrikes on six Iranian airfields across western, central, and eastern Iran. The targeted strikes obliterated runways, underground hangars, refueling aircraft, and destroyed multiple Iranian warplanes — including F-14s, F-5s, and AH-1 attack helicopters. These aircraft were meant to intercept Israeli jets — but never left the ground.
