Air India plane crash: Baba Ramdev points to ‘foreign conspiracy', mentions Turkish agency
Two days after an Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad claimed over 260 lives, Yoga guru Baba Ramdev on Saturday suspected a possible 'foreign conspiracy', alleging the involvement of a Turkish maintenance agency whose contract with Indian airports was terminated last month. 'I got to know that an agency from Turkiye used to take care of the maintenance and service of the aircraft. India will have to keep a close eye on the aviation sector,' Ramdev told ANI news agency. 'There is a possibility of a conspiracy by that agency.' Without providing any evidence for his claims, Ramdev said that India must stop allowing foreign companies to interfere in such sensitive matters. Air India's London-bound Boeing 787 Dreamliner (AI 171) flight crashed into a medical hostel complex in Ahmedabad's Meghaninagar on June 12, moments after taking off from the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport.

‘Our victory will be your victory': Israel's Netanyahu lauds Trump's backing of Iran strikes
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sent effusive birthday wishes to US President Donald Trump on Saturday, praising him as a staunch ally as Israel continued to bombard its arch foe Iran. read more This handout picture released by the Iranian Red Crescent on June 14, 2025, show Iranian Red Crescent volunteers working in a Tehran neighbourhood hit by a reported Israeli strike. (Photo by Iranian Red Crescent / AFP) Israel's air strikes on Iran had the 'clear support' of US President Donald Trump, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Saturday, saying 'Our victory will be your victory. There had been reports in the Israeli press of friction between the two men in recent weeks as Netanyahu threatened to attack Iran, even as the U.S. was in talks with Tehran to secure restrictions on its long-contested nuclear programme. However, within hours of Israel launching its large-scale assault on Friday, Trump said the attacks were 'excellent' and 'very successful'. Netanyahu responded on Saturday by showering the U.S. leader with praise. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'Happy Birthday to you, President Donald J. Trump,' Netanyahu said in a statement. 'You've been an extraordinary leader, decisive, courageous, with a clear vision and clear action. You have done great things for Israel.' With Israeli warplanes attacking sites linked to Iran's atomic programme, Netanyahu framed the operation as part of a broader struggle between free societies and a 'criminal regime in Iran' that seeks to export violence across the world. 'Our enemy is your enemy… We're dealing with something that will threaten all of us sooner or later. Our victory will be your victory,' Netanyahu said in a video statement addressed to Trump on the US leader's birthday. 'This is what Israel is doing with the support, the clear support of the president of the United States, Donald Trump, and the American people and many others in the world.' Iran has repeatedly denied Western accusations that it has covertly sought to develop nuclear bombs and it has accused the U.S. of being complicit in Israel's attacks this week – something Washington has rejected. Netanyahu also extended birthday congratulations to the U.S. military on its 250th anniversary, calling American troops 'guardians of freedom for two and a half centuries'.
