'Iran is not Syria or Iraq...': It is difficult for US, Israel to end Tehran's nuclear program due to, expert makes stunning claim
Tehran: The conflict between Iran and Israel escalated further when the United States joined the war. Israel launched deadly airstrikes on Tehran on June 13 and the US conducted airstrike on Iran's nuclear bases on June 22. America launched Operation Midnight Hammer and attacked the middle east country's nuclear bases with its bunker buster bombs. Iran retaliated and launched missile attacks on Tel Aviv and targeting the American base in Qatar. After 12 days of conflict in West Asia, signs of peace were seen on Tuesday when the countries agreed to a ceasefire. According to experts, Iran not going to stop its nuclear program. In such crucial situation, the question arises that why the US which has changed governments in many countries, is not able to stop Iran? Will Iran's Nuclear Program Stop!
It is not clear how much damage Israel and US done to the nuclear bases in Fordo, Natanz and Isfahan, Eurasian Times reported. However, experts say that Tehran had smartly moved its stockpile of uranium, which is enriched up to 60 percent, to a safer and underground location before the attacks. Now, the Middle East country can enrich the Uranium stockpile to 90 percent, which is needed to make nuclear bomb, after the conflict stops.

Trump's tariff may seem severe, but India not worse-off than nations that signed trade deal: GTRI
Despite US President Trump's proposed tariffs on Indian goods, GTRI suggests India isn't worse off than nations that made trade deals with Washington. These countries conceded significantly, while India refused to compromise on key areas like agriculture. India's tariffs are WTO-compliant, and its relationship with Russia has aided in managing inflation. Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads US President Donald Trump's announcement to impose a 25 per cent tariff and penalty on Indian goods may seem severe but the country is not in a worse position than nations that signed trade deals with Washington, think tank GTRI said on Global Trade Research Initiative (GTRI) said the UK, the EU, Japan, Indonesia, and Vietnam now face elevated tariffs, and in return, have given sweeping concessions --zero tariffs on US farm goods, massive investment pledges, and purchases of American oil, gas, and has made no such concessions, it added."While Trump's announcement of a 25 per cent tariff plus penalty on Indian goods appears harsh, a closer look shows that India is not significantly worse off than countries that did sign deals with the US," GTRI Founder Ajay Srivastava added that India did not walk away from the deal and it negotiated in good faith but refused to cross its red lines particularly on agriculture, where over 700 million livelihoods are at justification for India's tariffs, trade barriers, and ties with Russia does not stand up to scrutiny, he said, adding that India's tariffs are WTO-compliant, non-tariff barriers are common globally, and discounted Russian oil has helped India manage inflation during global volatility."India is not alone; over 90 countries face similar US pressure. A deal may still emerge, but only on fair terms. For now, India's principled stand has avoided the trap of a one-sided deal -- and that's a success," he added.

No one is defying Trump like Brazil's President
NYT News Service Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva at the Alvorada Palace in Brasília, Brazil, July 29, 2025. President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva of Brazil is outraged. President Donald Trump is trying to push around his nation of 200 million, dangling 50% tariffs as a threat, Lula said in an interview. And yet, he added, the U.S. president is ignoring his government's offers to talk. "Be sure that we are treating this with the utmost seriousness. But seriousness does not require subservience," the Brazilian president said. "I treat everyone with great respect. But I want to be treated with respect."Lula granted his first interview to The New York Times in 13 years Tuesday, in part because he wanted to speak to the American people about his frustration with Trump. Trump has said that, starting Friday, he plans to impose 50% tariffs on Brazilian goods, in large part because Brazilian authorities have charged former President Jair Bolsonaro with trying to hold on to power after losing the 2022 election. Trump has called the case a "witch hunt" and wants it dropped. Lula said that was not up for negotiation. "Maybe he doesn't know that here in Brazil, the judiciary is independent," he the interview, Lula said the U.S. president is infringing on Brazil's sovereignty."At no point will Brazil negotiate as if it were a small country up against a big country," he said. "We know the economic power of the United States; we recognize the military power of the United States; we recognize the technological size of the United States."But that doesn't make us afraid,'' he added. "It makes us concerned."There is perhaps no world leader defying Trump as strongly as president of Brazil -- a leftist in his third term who is arguably this century's most important Latin American statesman -- has been hitting back at Trump in speeches across Brazil. His social media pages have suddenly become filled with references to Brazil's sovereignty. And he has taken to wearing a hat that says "Brazil belongs to Brazilians."On Tuesday, he said he was studying retaliatory tariffs against American exports if Trump carries through with his threats. And he said that if the Jan. 6, 2021, riot on the U.S. Capitol had happened in Brazil, Trump would be facing prosecution just like Bolsonaro."The democratic state of law for us is a sacred thing," he said in a lofty room draped in a colorful tapestry in the modernist presidential palace, where emus roam the lawns. "Because we have already lived through dictatorships, and we don't want any more." The White House did not respond to a request for comment. Trump has gone after Brazil to come to the aid of his ally, Bolsonaro. His proposed 50% tariffs would be among the highest levies he has issued against any country, and they appear to be the only ones driven by overtly political reasons and not economic has said that he sees his own legal fight in the criminal trial against and Bolsonaro -- two politicians with strikingly similar political styles -- both lost reelection and then both denied having lost. Their subsequent efforts to undermine the vote culminated in mobs of their supporters storming their nations' capital buildings, in failed bids to prevent the election winners from assuming the stark difference is that four years later, Trump returned to power, while Bolsonaro is now facing prison. This month, Alexandre de Moraes, the Brazilian Supreme Court justice overseeing Bolsonaro's criminal case, ordered the former Brazilian president to wear an ankle monitor before his upcoming trial on coup charges. Moraes said Bolsonaro's efforts to lobby Trump suggested he might try to flee the country. Bolsonaro could face decades in prison if convicted. In an interview with the Times in January, Bolsonaro said that to avoid prosecution in Brazil, he was pinning his hopes on intervention from Trump. At the time, the wish seemed unrealistic. Then, this month, Trump a July 9 letter to Lula, Trump called the criminal case against Bolsonaro "an international disgrace" and compared it to his own past charges. "It happened to me, times 10," he also criticized Moraes for his rulings on social media content. And he said Brazil was an unfair trading partner, claiming incorrectly that the United States had a trade deficit with Brazil. The United States had a $7.4 billion trade surplus with Brazil last year on about $92 billion in trade. Lula, 79, said it was "disgraceful" that Trump issued his threats on his social media site, Truth Social. "President Trump's behavior strayed from all standards of negotiations and diplomacy," he said. "When you have a commercial disagreement, a political disagreement, you pick up the phone; you schedule a meeting; you talk, and you try to solve the problem. What you don't do is tax and give an ultimatum." He said Trump's efforts to help Bolsonaro are going to be paid for by Americans who will face higher prices for coffee, beef, orange juice and other products that are significantly sourced from Brazil. "Neither the American people nor the Brazilian people deserve this," he said. "Because we are going to move from a 201-year-old diplomatic relationship of win-win to a political relationship of lose-lose."On Tuesday, U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said that imports of some goods not plentiful in the United States could be exempt from tariffs, citing coffee as an example. Thirty percent of U.S. coffee imports come from Brazil, according to U.S. trade data. Lutnick recently spoke to Vice President Geraldo Alckmin of Brazil, whom Lula has tapped as Brazil's chief negotiator in the trade dispute, Brazilian officials openly rooted for former Vice President Kamala Harris, Trump's opponent, in the 2024 election. He said he sent a letter to Trump before his inauguration in January, but the two men have never spoken. Lula said Trump is the only U.S. president since Bill Clinton with whom he hasn't had a good relationship and that he was ready to open dialogue. But he said he felt that Trump was not."What's preventing it is that no one wants to talk," he said. "Everyone knows that I have asked to make contact."On July 11, Trump told reporters, referring to Lula: "Maybe at some point I'll talk to him. Right now I'm not."A week later, Trump posted a letter he wrote to Bolsonaro, saying his trial "should end immediately!"Trump said the tariffs are also meant to target Brazil's Supreme Court for what he says are "censorship orders" against U.S. tech has ordered tech companies to take down thousands of accounts and posts that he says threaten democracy. Yet he has largely kept his orders under seal and declined to explain why certain accounts are dangerous. He has also jailed several people for posting threats against Brazil's institutions has been cast as Brazil's guardian of democracy by many on the left, but his growing power has also raised concerns about whether he poses his own threat to Brazil's he has become a target of the White State Department announced July 18 that it had revoked the visas of Moraes, other Brazilian Supreme Court justices and their families for "censorship" and a "political witch hunt against Jair Bolsonaro."Eduardo Bolsonaro, the son of the former president, has been in Washington lobbying for what are known as Global Magnitsky Act sanctions against Moraes, which would represent a severe escalation in the feud. The Magnitsky Act is designed to punish foreigners accused of serious human-rights violations or corruption. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has told Congress that there "is a great possibility that will happen." When asked about the potential sanctions, Lula said: "If what you're telling me is true, it's more serious than I imagined. The Supreme Court of a country has to be respected not only by its own country, but it has to be respected by the world."

The American president announced 25% tariffs on India effective August 1 after the two countries failed to strike an interim trade deal ahead of his deadline. Trump also announced an 'additional penalty' on India for its oil and arms purchases from Russia. 'Remember, while India is our friend, we have, over the years, done relatively little business with them because their Tariffs are far too high, among the highest in the World, and they have the most strenuous and obnoxious non-monetary Trade Barriers of any Country. Also, they have always bought a vast majority of their military equipment from Russia, and are Russia's largest buyer of ENERGY, along with China, at a time when everyone wants Russia to STOP THE KILLING IN UKRAINE — ALL THINGS NOT GOOD! INDIA WILL THEREFORE BE PAYING A TARIFF OF 25%, PLUS A PENALTY FOR THE ABOVE, STARTING ON AUGUST FIRST. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.
