Trump Bombs Iran, Rebrands MAGA As MIGA; Tehran Gamble Shocks America
Donald Trump, once a self-proclaimed candidate for the Nobel Peace Prize, now finds himself at the center of a major military conflict. After launching U.S. airstrikes on Iran's key nuclear facilities at Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan, Trump shocked the internet with a post on Truth Social suggesting regime change: 'If the current Iranian regime can't Make Iran Great Again, why not a regime change?' His slogan 'MIGA' is trending — and not for the reasons he hoped. Critics online are furious, while anti-war protests erupt across U.S. cities. Despite growing backlash, Trump continues to hail the military strikes as a victory marked by 'precision and strength.' The world now watches as tensions rise dangerously between nations.

Trump repeats claim, says ‘proud' of stopping India-Pakistan potential ‘nuclear war'
US President Donald Trump on Wednesday reiterated his claim of America's role in South Asia, calling his intervention in the India-Pakistan conflict one of his 'proudest' diplomatic achievements, a claim India has swiftly rejected. 'The most important of all, India and Pakistan… I ended that with a series of phone calls on trade. I said if you're going to go fighting each other, we're not doing any trade deal,' Trump said during a press briefing after the NATO summit in The Hague, Netherlands. 'I said, 'Look, if you're going to go fighting each other… it was getting very bad, you know how bad that last attack was. It was really bad,' Trump said. 'If you're going to go fighting each other, we're not doing any trade deal,' Trump said. 'I got them to reason, and I said, we're not doing a trade deal if you're going to fight. They said, no, I want to do the trade deal. We stopped the nuclear war…' #WATCH | Hague, Netherlands: US President Donald Trump says '…The most important of all, India and Pakistan…I ended that with a series of phone calls on trade. I said if you're going to go fighting each other, we're not doing any trade deal. The General from Pakistan was in… — ANI (@ANI) June 25, 2025 Trump also mentioned that Pakistan's Chief of Army Staff, General Asim Munir, had visited the White House recently. 'And in fact, I had the general, who was very impressive. The general from Pakistan was in my office last week,' he said. Speaking about India, Trump added, 'Prime Minister Modi is a great friend of mine. He's a great gentleman. He's a great man. And I got them to reason. I said, we're not doing a trade deal if you're going to fight and if you're going to fight each other, we're not doing a trade deal. And you know what they said. No, I want to do the trade deal. We stopped the nuclear war,' Trump claimed. In recent weeks, Trump has repeatedly asserted that he warned New Delhi and Islamabad the US would halt trade if tensions escalated further. 'I wouldn't have any interest in making a deal with either if they were going to be at war with each other. I would not and I'll let them know.' Indian officials have categorically and repeatedly denied that trade was a factor in the de-escalation, stating the conflict resolution came via direct military-to-military contact between the Directors General of Military Operations (DGMOs) of the two countries. In a nearly 35-minute phone call with US President last week, PM Modi is said to have firmly rejected any suggestion of external mediation and stated that India does not and will 'never accept' mediation. The standoff followed a deadly terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, on April 22, in which 26 civilians were killed. In response, India launched Operation Sindoor targeting terror infrastructure in Pakistan and PoK. The ceasefire took effect on 10 May after four days of intense cross-border strikes.

UK Had No Jets To Drop Nukes For Almost 20 Years, 12 F-35As From US Will Change That
This move marks a significant change in the UK's nuclear capabilities. For over two decades, the country's nuclear deterrent has been delivered solely by its four Vanguard-class submarines, which carry Trident missiles. The new jets would give Britain an air-based nuclear option for the first time since the late 1990s, when the RAF retired its last nuclear-capable aircraft following the end of the Cold War era. Britain's shift in nuclear strategy points to growing concerns over Russia and Europe's continued dependence on US weapons to keep Moscow in check. With fears of a more inward-looking Trump presidency, some European countries are now rethinking how to strengthen their own nuclear defences. The UK's new F-35A fighter jets will be added to NATO's nuclear mission in Europe. Countries like Germany and the Netherlands already fly jets that can carry US nuclear bombs, but any use of these weapons would need approval from both the US president and NATO. For now, the UK does not plan to build its own air-launched nuclear missiles, officials speaking to the Wall Street Journal said. 'This is a robust British contribution to the alliance," NATO's secretary-general Mark Rutte was quoted as saying by the newspaper. The UK's plan to buy Lockheed Martin's F-35A fighter jets was announced alongside a pledge to raise defence spending to 5% of GDP by 2035, in coordination with NATO allies. The move is also seen as an attempt to address pressure from former US President Donald Trump, who has long criticised European nations for not doing enough to fund their own security.

Iran turns to internal crackdown in wake of 12-day war
Iranian authorities are pivoting from a ceasefire with Israel to intensify an internal security crackdown across the country with mass arrests, executions and military deployments, particularly in the restive Kurdish region, officials and activists said. People walk next to a mural with a picture of Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, on a street, early hours of ceasefire, in Tehran, Iran, on June 24.(Reuters) Within days of Israel's airstrikes beginning on June 13, Iranian security forces started a campaign of widespread arrests accompanied by an intensified street presence based around checkpoints, the officials and activists said. Some in Israel and exiled opposition groups had hoped the military campaign, which targeted Revolutionary Guards and internal security forces as well as nuclear sites, would spark a mass uprising and the overthrow of the Islamic Republic. While Reuters has spoken to numerous Iranians angry at the government for policies they believed had led to the Israeli attack, there has been no sign yet of any significant protests against the authorities.

Revolutionary Guard and Basij paramilitary units were put on alert and internal security was now the primary focus, said the senior security official. The official said authorities were worried about Israeli agents, ethnic separatists and the People's Mujahideen Organisation, an exiled opposition group that has previously staged attacks inside Iran. Activists within the country are lying low. "We are being extremely cautious right now because there's a real concern the regime might use this situation as a pretext," said a rights activist in Tehran who was jailed during mass protests in 2022.

Iranian rights group HRNA said on Monday it had recorded arrests of 705 people on political or security charges since the start of the war. Many of those arrested have been accused of spying for Israel, HRNA said. Iranian state media reported three were executed on Tuesday in Urmia, near the Turkish border, and the Iranian-Kurdish rights group Hengaw said they were all Kurdish. Iran's Foreign and Interior Ministries did not immediately respond to requests for comment. CHECKPOINTS AND SEARCHES One of the officials briefed on security said troops had been deployed to the borders of Pakistan, Iraq and Azerbaijan to stop infiltration by what the official called terrorists. The other official briefed on security acknowledged that hundreds had been arrested. Iran's mostly Sunni Muslim Kurdish and Baluch minorities have long been a source of opposition to the Islamic Republic, chafing against rule from the Persian-speaking, Shi'ite government in Tehran. The three main Iranian Kurdish separatist factions based in Iraqi Kurdistan said some of their activists and fighters had been arrested and described widespread military and security movements by Iranian authorities. Ribaz Khalili from the Democratic Party of Iranian Kurdistan (KDPI) said Revolutionary Guards units had deployed in schools in Iran's Kurdish provinces within three days of Israel's strikes beginning and gone house-to-house for suspects and arms. The Guards had taken protective measures too, evacuating an industrial zone near their barracks and closing major roads for their own use in bringing reinforcements to Kermanshah and Sanandaj, two major cities in the Kurdish region. A cadre from the Free Life Party of Kurdistan (PJAK), who gave her nom de guerre of Fatma Ahmed, said the party had counted more than 500 opposition members being detained in Kurdish provinces since the airstrikes began. Ahmed and an official from the Kurdish Komala party, who spoke on condition of anonymity, both described checkpoints being set up across Kurdish areas with physical searches of people as well as checks of their phones and documents.
