Nuclear war! US intel chief warns world is on the edge of annihilation
Tulsi Gabbard , the US director of national intelligence, on Tuesday released a video warning that the world is closer to nuclear war than ever before, and accused unnamed political elites of stoking tensions between nuclear-armed powers. Without naming specific countries, Gabbard's remarks reflected long-standing claims by Russian officials and, more recently, far-right US commentators who say that Ukraine's drone strike on Russia's strategic bomber fleet earlier this month has increased the risk of nuclear conflict . 'Closer to the brink of nuclear annihilation' 'As we stand here today, closer to the brink of nuclear annihilation than ever before, political elite and warmongers are carelessly fomenting fear and tensions between nuclear powers ,' Gabbard said in the video, which was posted on X. 'Perhaps it's because they are confident that they will have access to nuclear shelters for themselves and for their families that regular people won't have access to. It's up to us, the people, to speak up and demand an end to this madness,' she added.

Foreboding music played throughout the clip as black-and-white archival footage showed the aftermath and victims of the nuclear attack . 'A single nuclear weapon today could kill millions in just minutes, just one of these nuclear bombs would vaporize everything at its core,' Gabbard said in the video. A mock simulation then depicted a nuclear strike on San Francisco, showing the Golden Gate Bridge reduced to rubble. Gabbard also posted: 'I recently visited Hiroshima, and stood at the epicenter of a city scarred by the unimaginable horror caused by a single nuclear bomb dropped in 1945. What I saw, the stories I heard, and the haunting sadness that remains, will stay with me forever.'

DNI Gabbard supports President Trump's clearly stated objectives of bringing about lasting peace and stability and preventing war.' US President Donald Trump has claimed that his administration 'stopped a nuclear conflict' through its role in de-escalating recent clashes between India and Pakistan. The US has also been seeking to dismantle Iran's nuclear programme amid rising fears that Israel could strike Tehran's nuclear sites. Trump had warned that he will bomb Iran if it does not reach a deal with Washington over its nuclear programme. However, in April, Trump reportedly stopped a planned Israeli attack on Iran's nuclear sites and chose instead to push for a negotiated agreement with Tehran. India denies any US role in ceasefire Meanwhile, India has repeatedly denied that any foreign country played a role in bringing about the ceasefire with Pakistan, which came after fatal terror strikes in India's Kashmir in late April. New Delhi had launched Operation Sindoor in retaliation, targeting terror camps in Pakistan and other locations. Indian strikes also damaged key military assets of Pakistan, including an air base.

India's External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said the credit for the ceasefire between India and Pakistan must go entirely to the Indian military, and not the United States. When asked in an interview how close India and Pakistan came to a nuclear confrontation, Jaishankar replied, 'Very, very far away. I'm frankly astonished by your question. We had terrorist targets. Our actions were measured, careful, and non-escalatory. After that, Pakistan opened fire. We responded by showing we could disable their air defence systems. Then the firing stopped, at their request.' Economic Times WhatsApp channel )
