In a bold and strategic move, the Indian Armed Forces have launched Operation Sindoor, striking 9 terrorist hideouts in Pakistan and PoK. This action comes in response to the Pahalgam terror attack, where 26 innocent lives were lost. Indian missiles have hit terror hubs in Kotli, Bahawalpur, Muzaffarabad, and Muridke, dismantling infrastructure used to target India. Pakistan has responded with heavy artillery fire at the LoC in Poonch-Rajauri, Mendhar, and Bhimber Gali, violating the Ceasefire Agreement. The Indian Army is retaliating with precision firepower, ensuring that Pakistan's provocations do not go unanswered. India has also imposed a complete trade ban, suspended the Indus Waters Treaty, and blocked Pakistani aircraft from its airspace, economically isolating Pakistan like never before! As the situation escalates, world leaders, including Donald Trump, express hope that tensions will settle down quickly.

Trump's ban on travellers from 12 countries begins early Monday
The current travel restriction affects Afghanistan, Myanmar, Chad, the Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen read more US President Donald Trump's order barring people of 12 countries from entering the United States takes effect at 12:01 a.m. ET (0401 GMT) on Monday, a measure the president announced to protect the country from 'foreign terrorists.' The current travel restriction affects Afghanistan, Myanmar, Chad, the Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen. People from seven additional countries, including Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan, and Venezuela, will face certain restrictions on admission. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Trump, a Republican, said the countries subject to the most severe restrictions were determined to harbour a 'large-scale presence of terrorists,' fail to cooperate on visa security, have an inability to verify travellers' identities, as well as inadequate record-keeping of criminal histories and high rates of visa overstays in the United States. He cited last Sunday's incident in Boulder, Colorado, in which an Egyptian national tossed a gasoline bomb into a crowd of pro-Israel demonstrators as an example of why the new curbs are needed. But Egypt is not part of the travel ban. The travel ban forms part of Trump's policy to restrict immigration into the United States and is reminiscent of a similar move in his first term when he barred travellers from seven Muslim-majority nations. Officials and residents in countries whose citizens will soon be banned expressed dismay and disbelief. Chad President Mahamat Idriss Deby Itno said he had instructed his government to stop granting visas to US citizens in response to Trump's action. 'Chad has neither planes to offer nor billions of dollars to give, but Chad has its dignity and its pride,' he said in a Facebook post, referring to countries such as Qatar, which gifted the US a luxury airplane for Trump's use and promised to invest billions of dollars in the US. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Afghans who worked for the US or US-funded projects and were hoping to resettle in the US expressed fear that the travel ban would force them to return to their country, where they could face reprisal from the Taliban. Democratic US lawmakers also voiced concern about the policies. 'Trump's travel ban on citizens from over 12 countries is draconian and unconstitutional,' said US Representative Ro Khanna on social media late on Thursday. 'People have a right to seek asylum.'

Jaishankar reaffirms India's zero-tolerance policy on terrorism
New Delhi: India expects partners to understand its policy of "zero tolerance" against terrorism, and it will never countenance "perpetrators of evil" being put on par with its victims, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said on Saturday during extensive talks with his British counterpart David Lammy. Jaishankar's remarks, which seemed to be an attempt to send an unambiguous message to the global community, came against the backdrop of unease in New Delhi over several countries hyphenating India and Pakistan following their four-day clashes last month. Lammy arrived in New Delhi on Saturday morning on a two-day visit to review various aspects of the strategic partnership between the two countries. A British readout said bolstering economic and migration ties and delivering further growth opportunities for British businesses are set to be at the top of the UK foreign secretary's visit to India. Before holding talks with Jaishankar, the British foreign secretary met Prime Minister Narendra Modi. In his televised opening remarks at the meeting with Lammy, Jaishankar thanked the UK for its strong condemnation of the "barbaric" Pahalgam terror attack and London's solidarity and support to New Delhi's fight against terrorism. "We practice a policy of zero tolerance against terrorism and expect our partners to understand it, and we will never countenance perpetrators of evil being put at par with its victims," he said. It is understood that the Indian side explained its challenge of dealing with cross-border terrorism emanating from Pakistan. The UK was among the countries which were in touch with both India and Pakistan in an attempt to de-escalate tensions during their military conflict from May 7-10. Lammy paid a two-day visit to Islamabad from May 16, during which he welcomed the May 10 understanding between India and Pakistan to stop the military actions. Jaishankar also described the recently finalised India-UK free trade deal and the double contribution convention as "truly a milestone". "The recent conclusion of the India-UK FTA and the double contribution convention is truly a milestone which will not only propel our two-way trade and investment but will also have a positive effect on other strategic aspects of our bilateral ties," Jaishankar said.

UK Vows Due Diligence on China Embassy Amid Security Concerns
The UK government promised to assess any security concerns related to the construction of a Chinese embassy near the City of London, an issue that could potentially complicate trade talks with the US. President Donald Trump has warned Prime Minister Keir Starmer against letting China set up a mega-embassy near the country's key financial centers, after the plan was revived following personal lobbying by President Xi Jinping, the Sunday Times reported. The issue has been raised in trade negotiations between the US and UK, according to the newspaper. In response to questions about the report, Technology Secretary Peter Kyle told Sky News the UK will offer a 'fulsome response' to any security issues. These are 'the issues we talk about as two countries all the time.' Kyle added. 'But just to reassure people, we deal with embassies and these sorts of infrastructure issues all the time,' he said. The UK is seeking to complete a US trade deal within the next two weeks, which partially hinges on establishing relationships with China that the Trump administration approves of. The US imposed a July 9 deadline for the UK satisfying US demands about the ownership of a steel plant currently held by a Chinese company. The planned embassy's proximity to a hub of communication cables that could be susceptible to attack is of particular concern, according to the Times report. Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp told Sky News on Sunday the Chinese would likely use the mission as a base for espionage activities, though the Chinese embassy has previously rejected those accusations.
