In a dramatic escalation, Iran has reportedly launched its Sejjil medium-range ballistic missiles against Israel for the first time, as per Iranian sources. The IRGC has also deployed the hypersonic Fattah missile, marking a new chapter in Tehran’s missile capabilities. Reports suggest these missiles feature new flight patterns and launch methods not previously observed. The IDF confirmed alerts are now over after the attack. However, the use of these new-generation projectiles could shift the dynamics of the conflict. The global community watches closely as missile warfare intensifies in the Middle East.

On Day 6 of the Israel-Iran war, Iran launched a devastating barrage of 'Fateh' missiles, targeting Tel Aviv and sending shockwaves across the region. Apocalyptic scenes were captured as entire blocks in suburban Tel Aviv were reduced to rubble. Social media footage revealed the full scale of destruction, while celebrations erupted in the West Bank. For the third consecutive day, Israeli air defenses failed to intercept incoming missiles. As both nations escalate, the Middle East inches dangerously closer to a wider conflict.

America is deploying more fighter planes to the Middle East in a "demonstration of force" as tensions escalate and speculation about a possible US strike on Iran.. Sky News
According to a New York Times report, Iran has positioned missiles and other military assets to strike U.S. bases in the region if Washington joins Israel’s war against Tehran. As the war enters its 6th day, Iran has already launched heavy missile attacks on Tel Aviv, with devastating impacts. Security experts warn that if the U.S. targets Iran’s underground Fordo nuclear site, Tehran may retaliate by mining the Strait of Hormuz and escalating Red Sea attacks through Houthi forces. Fears of a wider Middle East war are growing by the hour.

Behind the scenes of the India-Pakistan ceasefire lies calculated pressure from the United States. Relying heavily on U.S.-controlled IMF loans and military aid, Pakistan was reportedly nudged by Washington to de-escalate. The U.S. is believed to have used its sway over Pakistan’s military, intelligence ties, and influence in international forums—possibly with help from Saudi Arabia—to defuse tensions. The strategic move helped avoid a full-scale conflict, as India also agreed to the ceasefire to ensure economic stability and regional peace.

India’s powerful and precise military response under Operation Sindoor forced Pakistan to seek a ceasefire, following the brutal terror attack in Pahalgam. The Indian Army’s targeted strikes on nine terror hubs across Pakistan and PoK sent a clear message: terror will be met with force. Despite international outreach, including behind-the-scenes pressure from the U.S. reportedly linked to Pakistan’s IMF bailout, India held its ground—refusing any political dialogue or compromise. The ceasefire was brokered solely through military channels, with Pakistan’s DGMO reaching out first. Indian officials have reiterated: any future provocation will cross a red line.

Heavy shelling by Pakistan rocked the Uri sector today, damaging 5–6 shops in the Bandi area and striking dangerously close to the national highway between Uri and Baramulla. One shell hit a moving bike, escalating fears among civilians. Indian forces swiftly retaliated, targeting Pakistani positions with precision. This latest provocation adds to a growing list of ceasefire violations, pushing tensions higher along the Line of Control. The Army remains on high alert, and the damage on the Indian side underscores the gravity of the current standoff.

The IMF’s approval of a $1 billion loan to Pakistan sparks controversy, with India raising serious concerns. India’s government warns that the funds could be used to fuel state-backed terrorism, especially as Pakistani drones target Indian cities for the third consecutive night. Despite India's protests, the IMF greenlights the funds without conditions. Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif celebrates the decision, mocking India’s stance while civilians in Ferozepur continue to suffer. India abstains from the IMF vote, demanding accountability for the aid potentially supporting terror operations.
