Iran Takes Down Israel’s Heron Drone in SHOCKING Mid-Air Strike; Tehran Claims 16 IsraeliUAV Kills
Iran has shot down an Israeli Heron reconnaissance drone in a precision mid-air strike, with the fiery wreckage crashing in Iranian-controlled territory.
Tehran claims this is the 16th Israeli unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) it has neutralized since the outbreak of hostilities.
Iran’s Foreign Ministry has launched a blistering verbal offensive against German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, accusing Berlin of directly supporting Israel’s “war of aggression” against the Islamic Republic. In a fiery statement posted online, senior Iranian official Esmaeil Baqaei slammed Merz for endorsing what he called “atrocity crimes” and “unprovoked armed attacks” by Israel, claiming it violated the UN Charter’s Article 2(4). Labeling Germany’s position as both “illegal” and “criminal,” Baqaei said Berlin’s support amounts to “complicity in aggression” and warned that Germany now bears international legal responsibility. The remarks come as Iran seeks to rally global opinion against Israel following strikes on its territory, and as Tehran accuses Western powers of shielding Israeli actions. Iran’s legal framing of Germany’s conduct could escalate diplomatic tensions and spark fierce debates at global forums including the UN and ICJ.

Iran has signaled its willingness to resume nuclear diplomacy—but only under strict conditions. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said renewed talks must include U.S. guarantees that Iranian nuclear sites will not be struck again, following recent Israeli and U.S. airstrikes, including the impactful June 22 bombing campaign. The cancelled June 15 round in Oman collapsed after Tehran deemed the attacks a “declaration of war.” Araghchi told Le Monde that diplomacy must now be rooted in accountability, mutual respect, and concrete assurances. Tehran continues enriching uranium to 60% purity under IAEA oversight, arguing this proves its program’s peaceful goals. Iran also refuses to discuss its ballistic missile capability, calling it defensively crucial. Washington asserts Trump remains committed to peace—though Araghchi dismissed claims of Iran’s program being “obliterated” and hinted at possible compensation for damage. The stakes are high as both sides weigh whether talks can survive past recent military escalations.

Iran has issued a grave warning to the U.S. and Israel, threatening regional retaliation if the fragile ceasefire collapses. IRGC spokesman General Shekarchi declared that American and Israeli bases in West Asia are within missile and drone range. Claiming severe damage was already inflicted on U.S. forces in Qatar and Israeli infrastructure, Shekarchi vowed that future retaliation would be “even more destructive.” Tehran stressed peaceful intentions—but warned it will cross “all red lines” if provoked again.

Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu shared a dramatic handshake and intense eye contact that has since gone viral. The gesture came just hours after joint U.S.-Israel airstrikes targeted Iranian military infrastructure, sending a powerful and unmistakable message to Tehran. With firm grips and locked eyes, the two leaders signaled unity, strength, and an unbreakable alliance — a silent yet chilling warning to adversaries watching closely.

In a major escalation of the Red Sea conflict, Israel has launched Operation ‘Black Flag,’ a powerful military campaign targeting key Houthi-controlled infrastructure in Yemen. Israeli warplanes struck ports, power stations, and the seized vessel ‘Galaxy Leader,’ accusing the Houthi forces of using civilian infrastructure to funnel Iranian weapons and coordinate regional attacks. Defense Minister Israel Katz warned that Yemen would now be treated like Tehran, promising continued strikes against any threat to Israeli security. This marks one of Israel’s most aggressive operations beyond its borders in recent years.

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.

On July 6, Russian forces launched a calculated drone strike on a military enlistment and recruitment office in Kremenchuk, located in Ukraine's Poltava region. This attack came just hours after Russia conducted one of its largest aerial assaults on Ukraine, involving 157 drones and four S-300 missiles that targeted key regions including Kharkiv, Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, and Kyiv, causing significant damage and casualties.
Ukraine's Ground Forces have confirmed that the UAV strike in Kremenchuk hit the recruitment center and also damaged a nearby residential building. While no casualties were reported among military staff or civilians at the enlistment facility, the attack caused a fire at a private property and forced the closure of a major road in the city's central district, disrupting civilian life.
This military escalation occurs amidst a complex geopolitical backdrop. A recent phone call between Russian President Vladimir Putin and former U.S. President Donald Trump failed to secure a ceasefire. Reports suggest that Putin, believing he has the upper hand in the conflict, is unwilling to halt the offensive and "throw away his lead."
With the date for any further peace talks still undecided, Russia continues its relentless campaign, pounding Ukrainian cities with a massive barrage of missiles and drones. This latest attack on a recruitment center signals a strategic shift to Cripple Ukraine's ability to reinforce its front lines. Stay tuned to Oneindia News for the latest updates on the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

Israel has expanded its air campaign to southern Iran, striking the Arak reactor to clear a path toward the fortified Fordow nuclear site. The IDF claims half of Iran’s missile launchers have been destroyed, with UAVs and jets executing rapid “stand-on” strikes. With radars and defenses south of Tehran neutralized, Israel is intensifying operations for full air dominance. Meanwhile, 14 cargo planes—reportedly from the U.S. and Germany—have delivered undisclosed military aid as tensions escalate following a cluster missile strike in Tel Aviv.

In a sweeping escalation, Israeli fighter jets struck missile batteries and key military-industrial sites in Tehran and Isfahan, aiming to secure uncontested aerial dominance over Iran. The IDF confirmed targeting SPND’s advanced weapons hub and missile-producing facilities tied to Iran’s defense ministry. Over 60 jets deployed 120 precision munitions to neutralize threats to Israeli air operations. With successful UAV interceptions and strategic hits, Israel claims full operational freedom in Iranian skies and vows continued strikes amid rising regional tensions.

Hamas has called on Palestinians in the West Bank to rise up following deadly Israeli settler attacks, including the killing of Palestinian-American Saif Al-Din Muslat. The group blames Israel’s far-right government for escalating settler violence and is urging mass mobilization across all governorates. With over 998 Palestinians killed in the West Bank since the Gaza war began, tensions are boiling. Hamas warns that “his blood will not be in vain,” hinting at a wider armed uprising. Israel now fears Hamas-style militant networks emerging in the West Bank.

Weeks after Trump boasted of obliterating Iran’s nuclear program, a New York Times report raises major doubts. Israeli officials claim parts of Iran’s 60% enriched uranium stockpile survived U.S. airstrikes in June. The uranium, reportedly buried too deep at Isfahan, may remain intact and inaccessible. While the U.S. says centrifuges were likely destroyed, satellite imagery suggests otherwise. With IAEA inspectors blocked, uncertainty looms. Trump’s “Midnight Hammer” may not have delivered a fatal blow, casting doubt on U.S. intelligence and raising fears about Iran’s nuclear future.
