Interestingly, Trump shared the video after he brokered a ceasefire deal between Israel and Iran to end the week-long hostilities. 'Went to a mosque, gonna throw some rocks, tell the Ayatollah, 'Gonna put you in a box!' Bomb Iran,' the song lyrics said.
What are the B-2 stealth fighter jets?
Designed and developed by Northrop Grumman during the Cold War, the B-2 stealth fighter jets are the most sophisticated aircraft built by the US.
According to Reuters, only 21 B-2 stealth jets have been produced since the fall of the Soviet Union and each unit costs about $2.1 billion.
With its bat-like shape and radar-absorbing materials, the B-2 is designed to be nearly invisible to radar, reportedly having a radar cross-section comparable to that of a small bird. Manned by a two-person crew, the aircraft relies heavily on automation to minimise pilot workload and reduce operational risk.
'Completely destroyed'
Meanwhile, US media have reported that American strikes on Iran could not destroy the country's nuclear facilities, as Trump says, but only set it back by a few months.
Trump has vehemently rejected these reports, saying, 'The nuclear sites in Iran are completely destroyed! Both the Times and CNN are getting slammed by the public!'
US media have cited people familiar with the Defence Intelligence Agency findings as saying the weekend strikes did not fully eliminate Iran's centrifuges or stockpile of enriched uranium.

Trump says US, Iranian officials will talk next week as ceasefire holds
Iran has not acknowledged any talks taking place next week, though US Mideast envoy Steve Witkoff has said there has been direct and indirect communication between the countries AP Dubai The fragile ceasefire between Israel and Iran appeared to be holding on Wednesday while US President Donald Trump asserted that US and Iranian officials will talk next week, giving rise to cautious hope for longer-term peace even as Tehran insisted it will not give up its nuclear programme. Trump, who helped negotiate the ceasefire that took hold Tuesday on the 12th day of the war, told reporters at a NATO summit that he wasn't particularly interested in restarting negotiations with Iran, insisting that US strikes had destroyed its nuclear programme. Earlier in the day, an Iranian official questioned whether the United States could be trusted after its weekend attack. We may sign an agreement, I don't know, Trump said. The way I look at it, they fought, the war is done." Iran has not acknowledged any talks taking place next week, though US Mideast envoy Steve Witkoff has said there has been direct and indirect communication between the countries. A sixth round of negotiations between the US and Iran had been scheduled for earlier this month in Oman but was cancelled when Israel attacked Iran. Earlier, Trump said the ceasefire was going very well, and added that Iran was not going to have a bomb and they're not going to enrich. Iran has insisted, however, that it will not give up its nuclear programme. In a vote underscoring the tough path ahead, its parliament agreed to fast-track a proposal that would effectively stop the country's cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency, the UN watchdog that has monitored the programme for years. Ahead of the vote, Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf criticised the IAEA for having refused to even pretend to condemn the attack on Iran's nuclear facilities that the US carried out on Sunday. For this reason, the Atomic Energy Organisation of Iran will suspend cooperation with the IAEA until security of nuclear facilities is ensured, and Iran's peaceful nuclear programme will move forward at a faster pace," Qalibaf told lawmakers. IAEA Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi said he had written to Iran to discuss resuming inspections of their nuclear facilities. Among other things, Iran claims to have moved its highly enriched uranium ahead of the US strikes, and Grossi said his inspectors need to re-assess the country's stockpiles. We need to return, he said. We need to engage. French President Emmanuel Macron, whose country was part of the 2015 deal with Iran that restricted its nuclear programme but began unravelling after Trump pulled the US out in his first term, said he hoped Tehran would come back to the table. Iran has long maintained that its nuclear programme was peaceful, and US intelligence agencies have assessed that Tehran is not actively pursuing a bomb. However, Israeli leaders have argued that Iran could quickly assemble a nuclear weapon. Israel is widely believed to be the only Middle Eastern country with nuclear weapons, which it has never acknowledged. Questions over effectiveness of the US strikes The Israel Atomic Energy Commission said its assessment was that the US and Israeli strikes have set back Iran's ability to develop nuclear weapons by many years. It did not give evidence to back up its claim. The US strikes hit three Iranian nuclear sites, which Trump said completely and fully obliterated the country's nuclear programme. When asked about a US intelligence report that found Iran's nuclear programme has been set back only a few months, Trump scoffed and said it would at least take years to rebuild. Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman, Esmail Baghaei, confirmed that the strikes by US B-2 bombers using bunker-buster bombs had caused significant damage. Our nuclear installations have been badly damaged, that's for sure, he told Al Jazeera on Wednesday, while refusing to go into detail. He seemed to suggest Iran might not shut out IAEA inspectors for good, noting that the bill before parliament only talks of suspending work with the agency, not ending it. He also insisted Iran has the right to pursue a nuclear energy programme. Iran is determined to preserve that right under any circumstances, he said. Witkoff said on Fox News late on Tuesday that Israel and the US had achieved their objective of the total destruction of the enrichment capacity in Iran, and Iran's prerequisite for talks that Israel end its campaign had been fulfilled. The proof is in the pudding, he said. No one's shooting at each other. It's over. Grossi said he could not speculate on how bad the damage was but that Iran's nuclear capabilities were well known. The technical knowledge is there, and the industrial capacity is there, he said. That no one can deny, so we need to work together with them. Hopes for a long-term peace agreement An Israeli official, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss internal deliberations, said the ceasefire agreement with Iran amounted to quiet for quiet, with no further understandings about Iran's nuclear programme going ahead. Witkoff told Fox News that Trump is now looking to land a comprehensive peace agreement that goes beyond even the ceasefire. We're already talking to each other, not just directly, but also through interlocutors, Witkoff said, adding that the conversations were promising and we're hopeful that we can have a long-term peace agreement. However, Baghaei, the Iranian spokesman, said Washington had torpedoed diplomacy with its attacks on nuclear sites, and that while Iran in principle was always open to talks, national security was the priority. We have to make sure whether the other parties are really serious when they're talking about diplomacy, or is it again part of their tactics to make more problems for the region and for my country, he said. China and Russia, Iran's strongest allies, welcomed the ceasefire and said they hoped it would hold. Grossi said Iran and the international community should seize the opportunity of the ceasefire for a long-term diplomatic solution. Out of the ... bad things that military conflict brings, there's also now a possibility, an opening, he said. We shouldn't miss that opportunity. A rare video by Mossad In a rare video released by Mossad, Israel's spy agency, chief David Barnea thanked the CIA for being a key partner, and his own agents for work over months and years to achieve what was unimaginable at first. Thanks to accurate intelligence, advanced technologies and operational capabilities beyond imagination, we helped the Air Force strike the Iranian nuclear project, establish aerial superiority in Iranian skies and reduce the missile threat, the agency said in a Facebook post alongside the video. During the war, Israeli airstrikes also targeted Iran's top military leadership and other sites associated with its ruling theocracy. Tehran on Tuesday put the death toll in Iran at 606, with 5,332 people wounded. The Washington-based Human Rights Activists group released figures Wednesday suggesting Israeli strikes on Iran had killed at least 1,054 and wounded 4,476. The group, which has provided detailed casualty figures from multiple rounds of unrest in Iran, said 417 of those killed were civilians and 318 were security forces. At least 28 people were killed in Israel and more than 1,000 wounded, according to officials. In the past two weeks, Iran has executed six prisoners accused of spying for Israel, including three on Wednesday.

Trump in tension over US role in Iran-Israel war, good news for India due to..., Pakistan in trouble because...
Pak PM Sharif, US President Trump and PM Modi- File image New Delhi: In the last few months, the world has seen massive military actions across the world including India's Operation Sindoor against the terror locations of Pakistan, Ukraine attacking critical locations of Russia using its drones, Israel and US attacking the nuclear facilities of Iran and finally Iran's counter-attack on Israel and military bases of the US. After all these global happenings, what are the points that these countries and their leaders should have learned and how does the global dynamics stand. This article talks about all the implications that can be drawn from the recent conflicts, with a special focus on India, China and the US. How Operation Sindoor brought Good news for India Talking about India first, its Operation Sindoor against the terror locations in Pakistan along with its diplomatic stance on the Russia-Ukraine war and the Iran-Israel war significantly boosted its global standing, with the focus shifting from nuclear threats to economic and technological power. During the course of conflicts, while US President Donald Trump expressed concern over USA's role, India firmly maintained its independent stance, enhancing its diplomatic and strategic reputation in the world of diplomacy. Getting to China, although Russia has been trying to sort out the differences between India and China, readers should note that China remains India's main long-term concern as the border tensions remain unresolved and China's military support to Pakistan continues. Last but not the least, Pakistan has been clearly unsettled by India's growing military capabilities and its recent Operation Sindoor. Despite Trump's lunch for military chief, Pakistan stands firmly with China Pakistan stood firmly alongside China and Russia against the United States at the Security Council despite Pakistan's military chief Asim Munir's hyped lunch with US President Donald Trump and the flurry of speculation about Islamabad and Washington getting closer. Pakistan's Permanent Representative Asim Iftikhar Ahmad on Sunday told the Council at its emergency meeting on Iran that Islamabad condemns 'the US strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, which come on the heels of a series of brazen attacks by Israel'.

Trump Repeats Claim That He "Stopped" India-Pak Conflict
New York: US President Donald Trump on Wednesday repeated his claim that he stopped the conflict between India and Pakistan and told the two countries that America would not do trade with them if continued with the fighting. India and Pakistan reached an understanding on May 10 to end the conflict after four days of intense cross-border drone and missile strikes. "Maybe the most important of all, India and Pakistan, and that wasn't whether or not they may someday have nukes, like we're talking about in the Middle East, like we're talking about with Israel and Iran," Trump said during a press briefing after the NATO summit in The Hague, Netherlands. He said that India and Pakistan have nuclear weapons. Trump said he had a series of phone calls on trade with both India and Pakistan. "I said, 'Look, if you're going to go fighting each other... it was getting very bad, you know how bad that last attack was. It was really bad," Trump said. "If you're going to go fighting each other, we're not doing any trade deal," Trump said. He claimed that when the countries said, "'no, you have to do a trade deal', Trump responded by saying "We're not doing any trade deal." He also said that Pakistan Chief of Army Staff Asim Munir was in the White House this month. "And in fact, I had the general, who was very impressive. The general from Pakistan was in my office last week," he said. "Prime Minister Modi is a great friend of mine. He's a great gentleman. He's a great man. And I got them to reason. I said, we're not doing a trade deal if you're going to fight and if you're going to fight each other, we're not doing a trade deal. And you know what they said. No, I want to do the trade deal. We stopped the nuclear war," Trump claimed. Trump has repeated the claim several times that he "helped settle" the tensions between India and Pakistan. However, India has been consistently maintaining that the understanding on cessation of hostilities with Pakistan was reached following direct talks between the Directors General of Military Operations (DGMOs) of the two militaries. In a nearly 35-minute phone call with Trump last week, PM Modi firmly stated that India does not and will "never accept" mediation and that the discussions between Indian and Pakistani militaries on cessation of military actions were initiated at Islamabad's request
