'Immediately evacuate weapons production factories': Israel issues fresh warning to Iran; new strike in the works?
Signaling towards a sharp escalation of hostilities, Israeli military on Sunday issued stark warning to Iranian citizens, asking them to immediately evacuate all weapons manufacturing facilities. This comes amid series of overnight retaliatory attacks by Iran that killed 10 and left 180 injured in Israel. "Urgent warning to all Iranian citizens: All persons who are currently or in the near future present in or around military weapons production factories and their support institutions should immediately leave these areas and not return until further notice. Your presence next to this infrastructure puts your life at risk," Col Avichay Adraee, a military spokesperson, said in a post on X. Meanwhile, Iran's foreign minister Abbas Araghchi said that Tehran was ready to de-escalate given Israel's offensive stops. 'If the aggression stops, our responses will also stop,' Araghchi said. He further slammed the UN Security Council for its "indifference" towards Israel's aggression. He said that the Israeli attack was " being met with indifference at the Security Council", adding that Western governments have "condemned Iran instead of Israel despite it being the side that was violated". by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Switch to UnionBank Rewards Card UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo This came after US President Donald Trump warned Iran against attacking the States, further offering to mediate in the Middle East crisis. "The US had nothing to do with the attack on Iran, tonight. If we are attacked in any way, shape or form by Iran, the full strength and might of the U.S. Armed Forces will come down on you at levels never seen before. However, we can easily get a deal done between Iran and Israel, and end this bloody conflict!!!" he said in a post on Truth Social. Israel continued its airstrikes on Iran for a third consecutive day, warning of even more forceful action as some Iranian missiles penetrated Israeli defenses. Talks on Iran's nuclear program were canceled, eliminating a possible path to de-escalation. Israeli strikes hit Iran's defense ministry following earlier attacks on air defense systems, military installations, and nuclear-related facilities. The precision strikes also targeted several top generals and nuclear scientists in Iran.

‘Human potential is the true asset': Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis; 250-acre ‘EduCity' to be developed in Navi Mumbai
MUMBAI: 'Today, it's not capital but human potential that is the true asset. Industries thrive where there is a skilled workforce, research, and innovation. Hence, creating a quality, multi-skilled workforce is essential. Human resource development is, therefore, the most valuable investment,' said chief minister Devendra Fadnavis . He was speaking at the inauguration of the new buildings of Mukesh Patel School of Technology Management and Engineering and Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Studies (NMIMS), as well as the groundbreaking ceremony of the new educational complex of SVKM at Vile Parle. Union education minister Dharmendra Pradhan, NMIMS University Chancellor Amrishbhai Patel, SVKM Vice President Bhupeshbhai Patel, MLAs Parag Alavani and Amit Satam, former MLA Kripashankar Singh, Bharat Sanghvi, Jayant Gandhi, faculty members, and students were present on the occasion. Chief minister Fadnavis said that institutions like NMIMS have carved a distinct identity in India through academic excellence, a transparent admission process, and globally benchmarked education. In collaboration with the central government, a 250-acre 'EduCity' will be developed in Navi Mumbai. Leading international universities such as the University of Aberdeen, University of York, University of Western Australia, Illinois Institute of Technology, and Istituto Europeo di Design will set up campuses there. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Free P2,000 GCash eGift UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo This initiative will bring global knowledge to India, reduce education costs, and lessen the need for students to go abroad. 'Earlier, the education system was rigid and slow-moving. It would take years to revise curricula. Now, with the National Education Policy (NEP), we have flexibility and dynamism. Maharashtra and Mumbai have become startup hubs of India. The state government has created a fund to support new entrepreneurs,' he said. He also mentioned that a committee has been formed to review building height restrictions for educational institutions, and a decision will soon follow upon receiving the report. Additionally, efforts will be made to identify land for setting up a world-class stadium for students and local youth. 'National Education Policy is a historic step toward India's intellectual renaissance' – Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan remarked that India's freedom struggle was not just against the British but also aimed at reviving Indian values through education. The Macaulay education system imposed by the British undermined India's traditional knowledge and fostered a servile mindset. The National Education Policy 2020 is a historic move toward ideological and mental rejuvenation of the country. Its effective implementation must be ensured at all levels. He elaborated on the history of Indian education, the need for reforms, and the guiding principles for the future.

He called upon SVKM to contribute significantly in key sectors such as commerce, trading, and entrepreneurship, which form the backbone of the nation's economy.

Elon Musk's Starlink satellite internet service activated in Iran amid tensions with Israel
Eon Musk on Saturday announced that his Starlink satellite internet service is now active in Iran , providing connectivity as the Iranian government imposed nationwide internet restrictions following escalating tensions with Israel . On Friday, Iran's communications ministry announced that "temporary restrictions have been imposed on the country's internet" in response to Israel's wave of attacks on military and nuclear facilities. The ministry added that the curbs will be in place until normalcy returns, effectively cutting off millions from digital communication. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Villa For Sale in Dubai Might Surprise You Villas in Dubai | Search ads Learn More Undo In response, Elon Musk took to X saying, "The beams are on," confirming Starlink's activation in the country. The satellite internet service utilises low Earth orbit satellites to provide connectivity to remote locations or where traditional communications infrastructure has been disabled. Live Events — elonmusk (@elonmusk) An estimated 20,000 Starlink terminals are believed to be operating in Iran through black market channels, according to industry analysts. This service could prove to be a lifeline for Iranian citizens seeking to communicate and access information during the government-imposed blackout. Starlink's cell-to-satellite communications are also functioning, expanding connectivity beyond just terminal users. Military escalation drives communication crackdown The internet restrictions come amid intensifying military conflict between Iran and Israel. Israel's military said Saturday it was striking dozens of missile launchers across Iran, after Tehran fired multiple barrages in retaliation to Israeli attacks on its nuclear and military installations. On Saturday, Israel reported two civilian deaths as a rocket struck a residential area, as both sides traded fire despite international calls for de-escalation. Israel's air force commander described the overnight strikes in the Tehran area as carrying "operational and national significance." The Iranian government's decision to restrict internet access is aimed at preventing potential civil unrest, echoing tactics used during previous protest movements. However, Starlink's activation may complicate these efforts to control information flow during the ongoing military crisis.
