South China Sea Breaking: Taiwan Deploys HIMARS Unit To Target Deep Into China | Xi Vows Retaliation

South China Sea Breaking: In a significant escalation of defensive capabilities, Taiwan has officially formed its first combat-ready HIMARS rocket unit. This move is designed to strengthen deterrence against increasing threats and military pressure from China. Taiwan's Defense Minister, Wellington Koo, lauded the new unit as a "significant boost" to the island's defensive power, underscoring the strategic importance of this deployment. The soldiers operating these advanced systems have completed specialized training in the United States, highlighting the close military cooperation between Washington and Taipei. The M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) is a game-changer for Taiwan's military. It can fire six 227mm rockets or a single Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) missile, the latter boasting a range of up to 300 kilometers. This impressive range means that key military and strategic targets deep within mainland China's coastal provinces are now potentially within Taiwan's strike capability. Reports suggest that Taiwan may have already acquired these long-range ATACMS missiles, a detail that is sure to alarm military planners in Beijing. This deployment is part of a larger arms deal with the U.S., with 11 of a total 29 HIMARS systems already delivered. The move aligns with America's broader strategy to build a strong coalition in the Indo-Pacific to counter China's growing military and economic dominance. While the HIMARS system has proven its devastating effectiveness in the Ukraine conflict, analysts note that China's more advanced air defense systems could pose a greater challenge. The activation of this unit comes as Chinese military aircraft and vessels continue to cross the sensitive median line of the Taiwan Strait, prompting regular intrusion warnings from Taipei and keeping the region on high alert. #Taiwan #China #HIMARS #USChinaRelations #BreakingNews #WorldNews #Geopolitics #OneindiaNews #IndoPacific #ATACMS Also Read Pakistan at China’s Command: Proxy War on India, Debt Trap at Home—Sri Lanka 2.0 :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/pakistan-at-china-s-command-proxy-war-on-india-debt-trap-at-home-sri-lanka-2-0-7791359.html?ref=DMDesc Iran To Buy Chinese J-10C Fighter Jets :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/iran-to-buy-chinese-j-10c-fighter-jets-7788123.html?ref=DMDesc China Halts Exports Of Specialty Fertilisers To India Amid Rising Tensions, Raising Supply Concerns :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/china-halts-exports-of-specialty-fertilisers-to-india-amid-rising-tensions-raising-supply-concerns-7783941.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~

BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL Debate | Democrats FUME as Republicans Push Through Planned Parenthood Cuts

Planned Parenthood is under serious threat as Republicans move closer than ever to cutting its federal Medicaid funding. A surprise Senate ruling has allowed the GOP to include the defunding measure in their sweeping megabill—without needing to overcome a filibuster. Democrats are outraged, warning it’s a direct attack on women’s health and reproductive rights. With $792 million in funding at stake, and abortion access on the line, the battle over Planned Parenthood is reaching a boiling point. #TrumpBill #VoteARama #ElonMusk #USPolitics #BigBeautifulBill #AmericaParty #SenateShowdown #July4Deadline #GOPSplit #CongressLive Also Read Senate Approves $95.3 Billion Aid Package for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/senate-passes-ukraine-aid-package-gen-3750585.html?ref=DMDesc Joe Manchin Announces Retirement, Opening Up Senate Seat for Republicans :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/joe-manchin-announces-retirement-opening-up-senate-seat-for-republicans-gen-3679879.html?ref=DMDesc Jacob Lew confirmed as ambassador to Israel :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/jacob-lew-confirmed-as-ambassador-to-israel-gen-3672625.html?ref=DMDesc

Czech Intelligence Report Reveal SHOCKING Details Of China’s ‘Dirty’ Plan For Taiwan Vice President [Video]

Czech Intelligence Report Reveal SHOCKING Details Of China’s ‘Dirty’ Plan For Taiwan Vice President

A shocking Czech intelligence report has revealed that Chinese agents plotted a staged car crash to intimidate Taiwan’s Vice President-elect Hsiao Bi-Khim during her 2024 visit to Prague. Described as a “demonstrative kinetic action,” the operation was orchestrated by individuals linked to China’s embassy in Prague. Military intelligence says the attempt never advanced past the planning stage — but a Chinese agent’s reckless move, running a red light while tailing Hsiao’s convoy, sparked the investigation. Taiwan’s Presidential Office has condemned the plot, while Czech officials quietly raised concerns with Beijing. The incident further exposes China’s covert operations and aggressive attempts to isolate Taiwan diplomatically. Lawmakers in Taiwan called the plot an act of “transnational repression.” Despite China’s pressure on global governments, Taiwan continues to assert itself as a sovereign democracy — and this failed intimidation attempt may have backfired for Beijing. #Taiwan #ChinaSpyPlot #HsiaoBiKhim #TaiwanVP #CzechIntel #ChinaCrashPlot #BeijingThreat #ChinaTaiwanTensions #TaiwanNews #PragueCrashPlot #CzechRepublic #InternationalLaw #ChinaAggression #OneChinaPolicy #Authoritarianism #ChinaExposed #TaiwanSecurity #TaiwanIndependence #ChinaEmbassy #DiplomaticTensions ~HT.410~GR.124~ED.102~

'Crush Them, Strike Iran...': Netanyahu Arrives in U.S After Launching War on Houthis |Op Black Flag

Just hours after launching the massive "Operation Black Flag" airstrikes on Houthi targets in Yemen, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu departs for Washington to meet with President Donald Trump. In his statement before leaving, Netanyahu reaffirmed his mission: to crush Hamas, confront Iran and Hezbollah, bring all hostages home, and ensure Gaza will never again threaten Israel. This marks his third meeting with Trump since the 2024 elections — a critical moment for U.S.-Israel coordination as regional tensions boil over. With fire raining on the Red Sea and new alliances forming, Netanyahu’s visit could reshape the Middle East — militarily and diplomatically. #Netanyahu #OperationBlackFlag #IsraelUSAlliance #MiddleEastWar #Hamas #Iran #Hezbollah #RedSeaCrisis #IDF #BreakingNews #IsraelDefenseForces #USIsrael #HostageCrisis #GazaWar #TrumpNetanyahu #YemenStrikes

Trump Vs BRICS: Trump Declares Economic WAR On BRICS Allies, Warns 10% Tariffs On ‘Anti-U.S Bloc’

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. #BRICS #DonaldTrump #USTariff #BreakingNews #WorldNews #Geopolitics #TradeWar #OneindiaNews #USDollar #Dedollarization Also Read Trump Calls Musk’s America Party Plan ‘Ridiculous’ And ‘Unworkable’ :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-calls-musk-s-america-party-plan-ridiculous-and-unworkable-7793443.html?ref=DMDesc There Should Be No Hesitation In Imposing Sanctions Against Terrorists: PM Modi At BRICS :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/there-should-be-no-hesitation-in-imposing-sanctions-against-terrorists-pm-modi-at-brics-7793415.html?ref=DMDesc America Will Be Richer, Safer, and Prouder: Trump As Big, Beautiful Bill Passes Congress :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-s-big-beautiful-bill-passes-congress-in-big-win-for-us-president-011-7790919.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.103~HT.408~GR.125~
