Iranian Drones SHOT DOWN by French Rafales | France ADMITS Military Action in Israel-Iran War
As the Iran-Israel war winds down, France has revealed its covert military role during the conflict.
Defense Minister Sébastien Lecornu confirmed that French forces intercepted fewer than ten Iranian drones aimed at Israel before the ceasefire.
Using Rafale jets and ground systems, France acted in self-defense to protect troops and regional installations.
The revelation underscores limited NATO involvement in defending Israel and highlights the growing threat from Iran’s drone arsenal, which sought to map Israeli air defenses.
France's move marks a rare and bold military admission in the Middle East crisis.

Israel has launched a fierce and unprecedented wave of airstrikes on Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon, pounding missile launchers, weapons storage facilities, and key infrastructure in at least 10 major locations near the border. Explosions rocked Lebanese towns as Israeli jets unleashed a heavy bombardment, escalating fears of a full-scale regional war. The Israeli Defense Forces accuse Hezbollah of hiding behind civilian areas while rebuilding its terror network. Lebanon reels from destruction as tensions spiral beyond containment.

Bastille Day 2025 in Paris turned into a diplomatic and military spectacle as Indonesia—the world’s largest Muslim-majority nation—led the foreign guest honors. Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto arrived to oversee the march of his country’s troops, including a striking 200-member military drum unit, through the Champs-Élysées. The gesture marked a deepening of Franco-Indonesian defense ties, with expectations high for Jakarta to confirm major purchases of French Rafale fighter jets and other arms.

Trinamool Congress MP Saket Gokhale has issued an unconditional public apology and agreed to pay ₹50 lakh in damages after falsely accusing ex-diplomat Lakshmi Murdeshwar Puri of corruption. The Delhi High Court warned of civil detention if he failed to comply.
But Gokhale’s apology isn’t an isolated incident — it’s just another example in a long line of opposition leaders making defamatory claims, triggering outrage, and then quietly backtracking when confronted by the courts.
From Rahul Gandhi’s RSS allegations to the Rafale lie, from ‘khoon ki dalali’ to defaming NSA Ajit Doval’s son — the pattern is clear: slander first, apologise later.

In a defiant statement ahead of key NATO-related discussions, French Defense Minister Sébastien Lecornu declared France’s “absolute red line” in the Ukraine conflict: demilitarizing Ukraine while denying it NATO membership. Lecornu told Valeurs Actuelles that Europe cannot accept a defenseless Ukraine outside NATO, directly rejecting Russia's long-standing demands for a neutral, demilitarized Ukraine.
Russia, in contrast, insists any peace deal must address its security concerns — including Ukraine’s NATO ambition and military status. Lecornu's remarks come ahead of a UK-French push to reshape Ukraine’s post-war military under a Western “coalition of the willing.” Meanwhile, Moscow warns such moves will escalate the war, with foreign forces seen as “legitimate targets.” Tensions mount as Putin claims Ukraine reneged on the 2022 Istanbul terms that would’ve imposed limits on its army. The future of Ukraine’s military — and its place in Europe — hangs in the balance.

President Donald Trump dropped a major geopolitical bombshell, revealing that “very good talks” were held with Russian President Vladimir Putin, and strongly hinting that peace talks between Russia and Ukraine may be imminent. Speaking optimistically, Trump said there's “a very good chance” the war could be nearing its “end of the road,” sparking global speculation about a possible three-way summit.
Though no dates or details were confirmed, Trump’s tone suggested behind-the-scenes negotiations are already underway. The former president has long claimed he could end the war swiftly, and these new remarks have raised eyebrows across NATO, Kyiv, and Moscow. With the Russia-Ukraine war dragging into another brutal year, any sign of diplomatic breakthrough is being watched with bated breath. Trump's comments nowthrust him back onto the world stage as a potential broker of peace—or at least a disruptive wildcard in the fragile balance of global diplomacy.

In a stunning geopolitical twist, President Donald Trump has announced plans for a dramatic three-way summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky — possibly within days. The meeting, which Trump disclosed during a private call with top European leaders, would mark the first in-person U.S.-Russia presidential summit in over four years. Sources reveal that the exclusive trio gathering would not involve NATO or European counterparts — sparking both shock and skepticism across allied capitals.
Trump, who believes in his unmatched personal diplomacy, insists that face-to-face talks are the only route to peace. While Zelensky hinted at cautious optimism, European leaders voiced doubts about Putin’s sincerity. Trump’s team confirmed that Russia requested the meeting and that his envoy, Steve Witkoff, has already met with Putin. The bold move echoes Trump’s past direct diplomacy tactics, like with North Korea's Kim Jong-un. Could this meeting really end the war?

he U.S. has deployed Dark Eagle hypersonic missiles and Typhoon systems in Germany, sparking WW3 fears across Europe. Capable of striking targets over 3,000 km away, these weapons are aimed at deterring Russia amid rising NATO tensions. In response, Russia revoked its missile moratorium and threatened NATO allies with the deadly Oreshnik missile. With deployments planned in Asia too, including Australia and the Philippines, the U.S. missile strategy is reshaping global military balance. Putin warns of escalation, as both sides gear up for potential confrontation in Europe and beyond.

As Trump ramps up aggressive foreign policies in his second term, fears rise over a potential global conflict. A growing trilateral alliance between Xi Jinping, Vladimir Putin, and Narendra Modi could present a historic challenge to U.S. power. With Russia’s nuclear might, China’s economic dominance, and India’s rising strategic presence, analysts warn this bloc could break NATO's influence. Trump’s rhetoric, including attacks on India’s economy and NATO tensions, risks isolating the U.S. just as this new alliance gains ground—pushing the world closer to a possible WW3 scenario.

Home Secretary Yvette Cooper says devastating images from Gaza highlight the urgent need for a ceasefire, humanitarian aid, and a long-term plan for peace in the Middle East.

U.S. President Donald Trump has revealed that his special envoy, Steve Witkoff, may visit Russia on August 6 or 7 — just one or two days before the ceasefire deadline he has set for Moscow. If Russia fails to reach a peace deal with Ukraine by August 8, Trump says sweeping secondary tariffs will hit Russian oil and gas exports — and also target countries like India and China that continue to trade with Moscow.
Witkoff, who controversially met President Putin in April, drew criticism for echoing Kremlin narratives and using Russian translators during their talks. Despite his original role as Middle East envoy, Witkoff now appears to be Trump’s unofficial channel to Putin. The pressure is mounting: Trump says sanctions are ready, but also admitted Russia is “pretty good at avoiding them.” A critical moment is approaching, with diplomatic brinkmanship and global trade consequences at stake.

The conflict escalates. In a bold and coordinated strike, the Yemeni armed forces launched three drones targeting Israeli military positions deep inside the occupied territories. The explosive visuals show fiery impacts across Yaffa, Ashkelon, and the port of Haifa, in what the Houthis call a retaliatory operation for Gaza.
The Yemenis say they will continue their drone and missile campaigns until Israel ends its siege and offensive in Gaza.
This marks one of the most significant escalations from Yemen in recent weeks, signaling a regional expansion of the war that now stretches far beyond Gaza’s borders.
Israel has not officially responded, but analysts warn that more such strikes could provoke a wider Middle East confrontation.
Watch the footage, military impact analysis, and the warning signs the world is ignoring.

Tensions in the Middle East escalated as Hamas declared it will not disarm unless a fully sovereign Palestinian state is established with Jerusalem as its capital. This declaration came after U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff claimed Hamas showed willingness to lay down arms—an assertion Hamas quickly rejected. Israel, meanwhile, maintains disarmament as a non-negotiable precondition for any ceasefire deal.
As ceasefire negotiations stall, pressure builds from Western and Arab nations urging Hamas to give up arms. Meanwhile, a shocking video of Israeli hostage Evyatar David emaciated in captivity triggered a fresh wave of outrage. The humanitarian crisis in Gaza deepens, with UN agencies reporting hundreds killed while seeking aid. U.S. envoy Witkoff, currently in Israel, has met with hostage families and criticized partial peace plans. With over 60,000 deaths in Gaza and starvation rising, global calls intensify for an urgent resolution to end the bloodshed.

The U.S. State Department has imposed visa sanctions on senior officials from the Palestinian Authority and the PLO, citing violations of UN resolutions and continued support for terrorism. This comes as the U.K. and France announce plans to recognize Palestinian statehood at the upcoming UN General Assembly, escalating tensions across the Middle East. Israeli leadership has condemned these moves, calling them dangerous to peace and regional stability. Here's a breakdown of the diplomatic storm now brewing.
