“I Want Iran-Style Drones!” – Trump Demands U.S. Defense Firms Match Iran’s Cheap, Fast, Deadly UAVs
Speaking in Qatar, former President Trump criticized U.S. defense contractors for producing drones at exorbitant prices—contrasting them with Iran’s $35K–$40K drones, which he called fast, cheap, and deadly.
Trump recounted asking an American company to replicate Iran’s affordable drones, only to be presented with a $41 million model.
His remarks spotlight rising defense spending and Iran’s rapid drone advancement, which has positioned the country as a major military force in West Asia.
Trump’s comments reignite debate over U.S. defense efficiency, cost, and competitiveness.

Former U.S. President Donald Trump has issued a stern warning to Russian President Vladimir Putin, setting a 50-day deadline to end the war in Ukraine or face sweeping consequences. Trump threatened "very steep tariffs" and harsh secondary sanctions on countries buying Russian oil. The proposed sanctions aim to criple Russia’s economy and isolate it globally. Trump’s ultimatum, delivered with unmistakable clarity, signals a possible escalation in economic warfare if Moscow refuses to agree to a ceasefire within the time limit.

Khamenei also ridiculed Trump for backing the Israeli regime, referring to Netanyahu as Trump's 'chained dog'.

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei sharply condemned Israel as a “dog on a leash” of the United States and warned that Iran is ready to deliver a far bigger retaliatory blow if attacked again, following recent US strikes on Iranian nuclear and military sites and Iran’s counterattack on a sensitive US base in Qatar. Khamenei praised Iran’s resilience and emphasized that Tehran approaches both diplomacy and military action from a position of strength.

Donald Trump will host Qatari Prime Minister Al-Thani at the White House Wednesday as Gaza ceasefire negotiations enter a decisive phase. The dinner meeting will focus on Qatar’s mediation role, a potential 60-day truce, and phased hostage releases. Trump, who recently spoke with Emir Sheikh Tamim, is also expected to discuss Iran’s nuclear program. Earlier, Trump expressed optimism for a ceasefire breakthrough. Meetings with Bahrain’s king and crown prince signal a broader push for Middle East peace and Israeli troop withdrawal.

Iran’s precision strike hits hard! Shocking new footage shows the moment Iranian missiles obliterated a key radar dome at the U.S. Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar — one of Washington’s most critical military hubs in the Middle East. Satellite images and exclusive ground photos reveal massive structural damage to the advanced radar system used for air defense and surveillance. Military analysts are calling it a serious blow to U.S. strategic capabilities in the region.

Iran’s foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, has ruled out hasty or “ill‑considered” diplomacy with the US unless explicit guarantees are made. Speaking to diplomats in Tehran, he condemned last month’s US and Israeli strikes on Iranian nuclear sites as a betrayal of diplomacy, demanding assurances that aggression will not repeat if talks resume. Araghchi emphasized Tehran’s focus on securing national interests and accountability from Washington. He warned European nations that invoking the UN “snap‑back” sanctions would be as damaging as military action and could end their role in nuclear diplomacy. Iran insists its victorious counter‑strikes, including its missile attack on al‑Udeid base in Qatar, underscore that it faces no fear in negotiating. But Araghchi cautions that without trust and concrete protections, Iran remains unwilling to rejoin indirect talks with the US.

In a shocking revelation, satellite images have exposed the extensive damage to the Al Udeid US airbase in Qatar following a retaliatory strike by Iran. The attack, which occurred after US aggression on Iranian nuclear sites, has left the base in ruins, shattering claims by President Donald Trump that the base remained unharmed. As the US continues to downplay the impact of the strike, these images provide undeniable proof of the devastation, raising questions about Trump's sudden ceasefire order. Was the ceasefire a tactical move to cover up the severity of the strike, or was it forced by the massive destruction at Al Udeid?

External affairs minister S Jaishankar engaged in discussions with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi in Tianjin... IndiaTimes
In a dramatic escalation, Yemen’s Armed Forces have claimed responsibility for a massive drone and missile assault targeting key Israeli infrastructure, including Ben Gurion Airport, Ashdod Port, and the Eilat Port. Yemeni military spokesman Brig. Gen. Yahya Saree confirmed the use of the indigenous ‘Palestine 2’ hypersonic missile and locally built UAVs in retaliation against Israeli strikes on Yemen and in solidarity with Gaza. The strike forced Israel to shut down its primary international airport, with sirens sounding across the Dead Sea area. The Yemeni Armed Forces declared their readiness for prolonged confrontation and reiterated a vow to continue strategic blockades and attacks until Israel halts its Gaza offensive. With over 57,000 Palestinians dead since October 2023, the operation underscores a widening regional war and a unified resistance front across West Asia. Israeli interceptors reportedly failed to stop the attacks, raising serious concerns about defense gaps.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has condemned Israel’s strikes on Iran as a reckless provocation that violates international law and risks igniting a global catastrophe. Calling it a “strategy of bloodshed,” Erdoğan warned Netanyahu’s government is sabotaging diplomatic efforts over Iran’s nuclear program to sustain regional chaos. Turkey’s foreign ministry echoed the alarm, demanding urgent global action to prevent further escalation. As Ankara joins the growing chorus of condemnation, fears rise over a widening West Asia conflict and potential global fallout.

Iran has launched over 100 Shaheed-136 kamikaze drones toward Israel in retaliation for Israeli strikes on nuclear and military sites in Tehran. Several UAVs have been spotted over Iraq as Israeli defense systems brace for impact. Supreme Leader Khamenei vows “painful revenge,” while Israel declares a nationwide emergency. Jordan shuts its airspace amid escalating fears of regional war. With U.S. embassies issuing shelter orders and Trump denying involvement, concerns of a full-scale conflict in West Asia—and possibly World War III—are mounting.

This exclusive new footage provides a chilling, firsthand look inside the bulk carrier 'Magic Sea' during a devastating attack by Houthi rebels in the Red Sea. The video captures the sheer panic as alarms blare and glass shatters from the impact of the strike, forcing the crew to abandon the ship just moments before it began to sink. This incident marks a significant escalation in the ongoing Red Sea crisis, which is severely disrupting global shipping routes.
The Houthi group in Yemen officially claimed responsibility for the attack, stating they utilized a combination of unmanned boats, naval missiles, and drones. According to a statement by their spokesperson, the group alleges that the 'Magic Sea' had violated their ban on ships entering Israeli ports, which they refer to as "occupied ports." They further claimed that the ship's crew had been issued multiple warnings but failed to comply, leading to the direct strike.
In the aftermath of the attack, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) confirmed a successful rescue operation. All 22 crew members and the security staff onboard the vessel were safely evacuated before the ship was completely lost. This attack is the latest in a series of aggressive actions by the Houthis against international maritime traffic, raising global concerns over the security of this critical waterway and the potential for a wider conflict in the Middle East.

Amid soaring Israel-Iran tensions, dramatic images on social media show three ships engulfed in flames off the Gulf of Oman near the critical Strait of Hormuz. While authenticity remains unverified, NASA’s FIRMS data also detected fires in the same zone. The area, a vital artery for global oil, has long been a flashpoint. No official Emirati response has surfaced yet. As Israel pounds Iran’s military sites, fears rise over possible retaliation through trade disruption, especially a blockade of Hormuz, which sees over 20 million barrels of oil pass daily.
