Iran's Fattah‑1 missile is being praised across the world for its recent strike as it has reportedly penetrated the Iron Dome air defence of Israel
Iran's Fattah Missile
Iran vs Israel war: During the recent Iran-Israel war, Iran has gathered headlines after it penetrated the much-talked about Iron Dome air defence system of Israel. During the recent course of war, Iran attacked Israel with its advanced Fattah‑1 hypersonic missile and while Israel's multi-tiered air-defense shield (comprising Iron Dome, David's Sling, and Arrow systems) successfully intercepted majority of the missiles, several missiles penetrated the air defense of Israel and struck areas in Tel Aviv, causing massive devastation.
Iran's Fattah‑1 missile
For a background, Iran's Fattah‑1 missile is capable of hitting a target at a range of around 1,400 km speeding up to Mach 13–15. The missile is designed to evade existing air-defenses, as it can attack the target at a very low altitude, evading the radars of enemy countries.
Iran's Fattah‑1 missile is being praised across the world for its recent strike as it has reportedly penetrated the Iron Dome air defence of Israel, which was an inspiration for many countries including USA, which is building Golden Dome system, under the leadership of US President Trump.
Iran launches new wave of attacks on Israel in response to Israeli airstrikes
Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) launched a 'large-scale combined offensive operation' against Israel, involving a significant number of missiles and drones. The IRGC's aerospace division carried out the attack on late Saturday night, stating it was in response to Israel's 'repeated aggressions' against Iran, according to the IRGC's official news outlet Sepah News.
In Israel, a rocket struck a residential building in a northern community, killing one woman and injuring 13 others, according to Magen David Adom (MDA), Israel's national emergency medical service. Several others sustained moderate to light injuries, and four individuals were treated for anxiety, MDA said.
The Israeli military said that its air defence systems were actively intercepting incoming projectiles, while Israeli air force units were carrying out strikes on military targets in Tehran.

‘Damage is done': Fareed Zakaria on worsening India-US relations under Trump 2.0
The decision by US President Donald Trump's administration to penalize India for buying Russian oil while finalising oil deal with Pakistan has led to trust deficit in New Delhi and it could act as a turning point in the relations between the United States and India, said journalist Fareed Zakaria in one his take on CNN. In one of his analyses on 'biggest foreign policy mistake by Trump 2.0', Zakaria said that the US strategic outreach towards India has been in a bipartisan manner over the past 25 years but the carefully built diplomatic progress has been 'undone' in a few weeks by Trump 2.0, while arguing that Delhi may begin to distance itself from Washington and recheck its global alliances which has become multi-aligned under PM Narendra Modi's leadership. During his segment on CNN, Zakaria said 'Indians believe that America has shown its true colors, its unreliable, its willingness to be brutal to those it calls its friends. They will understandably feel that they need to hedge their bets. Stay close to Russia, and even make amends with China.' Zakaria said that India, which has followed the policy of nonalignment for a long period, came close to the United States in over last two decades, with a landmark visit by former President Bill Clinton in 2000, followed by George W Bush administration recognising India to be treated with the likes of great power like Britain, France and China and signing a historic nuclear deal under former PM Manmohan Singh. Zakaria added that former President Barack Obama's pivot to Asia and his administration's bid to support India to become a permanent member of the UN Security Council also marked a turning point in the two countries' relations. Detailing about Trump's first tenure and Joe Biden's presidency, Zakaria said, 'Trump also embraced and promoted his personal relationship with Prime Minister Modi. President Biden built on the Trump legacy, forging greater cooperation in defense and economics. India began planning to cooperate with the US in the manufacture of everything from fighter jets to computer chips.' But the efforts have been 'undone' and the trajectory of a camaraderie between New Delhi and Washington have been reversed in Trump 2.0, feels Zakaria. According to him, now even if the Trump administration tries a course correction, the 'damage is done'.

Pakistan rides high on US ties after clash with India, but it won't last
Pakistan's military, buoyed by recent India clashes, sees itself central to regional politics, with Army Chief Munir twice visiting the US, meeting Trump, and addressing overseas Pakistanis Bloomberg Pakistan's army — and its chief Asim Munir — are brimming with confidence at the moment. A bit more caution would be wise: The generals, who hold the real power in Islamabad, have a history of over-promising and getting their country into trouble as a result. The military is reveling in what it sees as its new centrality in regional politics. Munir has been invited to visit the US twice in as many months. On the last trip, he had a long lunch with President Donald Trump. This time around, he visited US Central Command in Tampa, and spoke to overseas Pakistanis about the nation's growing importance. That is, at least, how the generals see their position at the moment. The military emerged from a bruising confrontation with India in May with its domestic and international position enhanced. Several major airbases were hit by airstrikes, which is a major escalation when compared to previous confrontations. But the Pakistani public was nevertheless pleased by reports that several Indian warplanes had been shot down. This buttressed the military's case that they were the nation's irreplaceable guardians — an argument that the jailed former prime minister, Imran Khan, has tried for some time to undermine. Even more importantly, both civilian and military leaders were effusive in their praise of Trump and his administration, whom they credited with brokering an end to hostilities. This infuriated New Delhi, which has always refused to let anyone intervene in its disputes with its neighbor, but it endeared the Pakistanis to the White House. The Trump administration has also thanked the South Asian country for its willingness to provide a back-channel to Iran at a time of heightened tensions. Pakistan's capture of an Islamic State leader accused of plotting a bomb attack in Kabul in 2021 that killed 13 US soldiers was also viewed as positive. But the president is probably most pleased that Islamabad said it had officially nominated him for the Nobel Peace Prize. Partly as a result of this campaign of praise, Pakistan has managed to win a reasonable trade deal from Trump: The lowest tariffs in South Asia, at 19 per cent. Trump also announced that 'both countries will collaborate on developing Pakistan's extensive oil reserves,' and that he would shortly identify the lucky US company that would lead this partnership. This announcement is a bit of a head-scratcher. Pakistan doesn't have a lot of proven, easily accessible oil reserves. It did announce a big find last year, but details are yet to be confirmed; similar announcements in the past have had to be reversed. Even if it's correct, it isn't clear if developing these new reserves would make financial sense. Nor will it be easy to find a corporate partner, given how challenging the security situation remains. Even Chinese companies investing in a state they consider a reliable client have found themselves caught in the middle of various internecine ethnic and religious conflicts. Chances are that the generals just dropped a promise that they would put vast and undiscovered new oil reserves at America's disposal into Trump's ear, and that helped convince him he was getting a better deal. A few other developments might have caught the president's attention. In April, for example, less than a week after terrorists killed 26 people in Kashmir, raising the prospect of war on the subcontinent, Pakistan's finance ministry announced that its new crypto strategy would be run in cooperation with World Liberty Financial. The official press release explained that 'World Liberty Financial is backed by the Trump family, including President Donald Trump and his sons.' In June, the president disclosed that the crypto firm had earned him $57.7 million last year. Iran, oil reserves, crypto. The buzzwords are new, but the strategy isn't. The Pakistani military has always found some way of making itself useful to powerful foreign backers, whether in Beijing, Washington or the Gulf. But, as successive US administrations have discovered, the generals' promises sound good but are rarely kept. The military reuses these methods because they always survive the fallout. Pakistan, however, rarely benefits. If anything, the entire region gets less stable when its generals get overconfident. In Tampa, Munir was relaxed and expansive when talking to the Pakistani diaspora: He warned that a nuclear exchange between the two would impact 'half the world.' Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, speaking on the nation's Independence Day, shot back that 'nuclear blackmail' was unacceptable.
