'Disrespectful, unacceptable tone': Iran slams Trump over Khamenei remark
Iran on Saturday strongly condemned recent remarks made by US President Donald Trump against Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The criticism came a day after Khamenei delivered a speech claiming victory in the conflict with Israel and denouncing Washington's role. Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi issued a stern warning to Trump via social media, urging the US President to reconsider his approach if he wished to engage constructively with Iran's leadership. "If President Trump is genuine about wanting a deal, he should put aside the disrespectful and unacceptable tone towards Iran's Supreme Leader, Grand Ayatollah Khamenei, and stop hurting his millions of heartfelt followers," Araghchi wrote on X. — Seyed Abbas Araghchi (@araghchi) June 27, 2025 He also lashed out at Israel, stating, 'The Israeli regime had NO CHOICE but to RUN to 'Daddy' to avoid being flattened by our Missiles.' Emphasising Iran's self-reliance, Araghchi added that the country would not tolerate threats or insults, asserting the Iranian people's pride in their independence. Trump claims he prevented Khamenei's death 'I SAVED HIM FROM A VERY UGLY AND IGNOMINIOUS DEATH,' Trump wrote on Truth Social, claiming to have stopped a potential strike that could have killed the Iranian leader. He questioned Khamenei's assertion of victory over Israel, stating, "Why would the so-called 'Supreme Leader,' Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, of the war torn Country of Iran, say so blatantly and foolishly that he won the War with Israel, when he knows his statement is a lie, it is not so. As a man of great faith, he is not supposed to lie." Trump claimed that Iran had suffered significant damage, including the destruction of three 'evil nuclear sites', and added that he knew the exact location where Khamenei was hiding. He further revealed that he had instructed Israeli forces to recall a large number of aircraft headed for Tehran, averting what he described as 'the biggest attack' of the conflict. "Tremendous damage would have ensued, and many Iranians would have been killed," he warned. IDF details strikes on Iranian nuclear, military infrastructure Amid the war of words, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) released details of the extensive damage inflicted on Iran's nuclear and military infrastructure during the recent escalation. According to the IDF, three major nuclear sites — Fordow, Natanz, and a facility in Isfahan — were 'significantly damaged", news agency ANI reported. These sites were involved in uranium enrichment and conversion. In addition, thousands of centrifuges, research facilities, headquarters, and sensitive documentation were reportedly destroyed. More than 35 missile production sites were attacked, wiping out 200 launchers and disabling nearly half of Iran's launcher capacity. The offensive included over 1,500 sorties by fighter jets, 600 refuelings, and 500 UAV-led strikes, reaching as far as Mashhad airport, about 2,400 km from Israel. Israel-Iran conflict: India evacuates over 4,400 nationals As tensions surged, India launched "Operation Sindhu" on June 18 to evacuate its citizens from Iran and Israel. So far, 19 special flights have brought back over 4,400 Indians, according to the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA). A flight from Armenia's capital Yerevan carrying 173 evacuees from Iran arrived in Delhi late Thursday night. MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said India was monitoring the situation closely and would decide on further actions accordingly. (With agency inputs)

"Bengal is not safe for women": BJP's Pradeep Bhandari slams TMC on Kolkata rape case
Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], June 28 (ANI): BJP National Spokesperson Pradeep Bhandari on Friday launched a scathing attack on the Trinamool Congress over the Kolkata alleged gangrape case and said that West Bengal is not safe for women under the Mamata Banerjee government. 'Mamata Banerjee's government supports the rape of women in Bengal. The accused in the Kasba gangrape is an active member of Mamata Banerjee's party, Trinamool Congress. Mamata Banerjee runs and protects an army of goons in Bengal for her appeasement politics and political dominance. People of Trinamool Congress commit rape against women, erase evidence and the TMC government makes a one-week case. A person of Trinamool Congress has been found guilty in the Kasba gang rape. Bengal is not safe for women. Despite Mamata Banerjee being a woman chief minister, her thinking is anti-women,' Bhandari told ANI. The National Commission for Women (NCW) has taken suo-motu cognisance of the alleged gangrape of a law student at South Calcutta Law College in Kolkata's Kasba area on June 25, with NCW member Archana Majumdar expressing outrage over the incident. Speaking to ANI, Majumdar said, 'It's shocking. As a mother, as a woman of West Bengal, I am very annoyed. We have taken suo-motu cognisance, we have asked DGP to answer within 72 hours in detail, including arrests, sections, crime scene examinations, medical examination, and everything...I will be meeting the victim today or tomorrow. I talked with the officer in charge of the concerned PS also. He reported that the victim has been sent to Calcutta National Medical College for medical examination. Three of the accused have been arrested already. Whatever action is being taken, my question is - why does it happen? Where is the security of women, of girl students?' BJP leader Dilip Ghosh also echoed similar sentiments, stating, 'Whenever a crime occurs in West Bengal, a TMC leader is found to be involved. The most evil and anti-social elements are in TMC. Holding the TMC flag seems to grant immunity from police action.' He further criticised the state's law and order situation, saying, 'Such an incident happening with a college student in broad daylight shows the poor law and order in West Bengal. Mamata Banerjee has taken the entire police administration to the Rath Yatra in Digha, as if there are no other pressing issues in Bengal.' On Wednesday evening, a female student was allegedly gang-raped inside a law college in Kolkata's Kasba. The police have arrested all three accused within 24 hours. The three accused, named as Monojit Mishra (31), Zaib Ahmed (19), and Pramit Mukhopadhyay (20), were former students or staff members of the same law college. According to the police, the accused named in the FIR will be produced before the A.C.J.M. of Alipore, South 24 Parganas, with a prayer to remand them to Police Custody for a proper investigation into the case. The alleged sexual assault took place between 7:30 pm and 10:50 pm on Wednesday within the law college premises. According to the official, one of the accused allegedly committed sexual assault, while the others were involved in the crime. The victim's family filed a police complaint against the accused, and the police have taken swift action in the matter. Two of the accused, Monojit Mishra and Zaib Ahmed, were arrested on Thursday, near Siddhartha Shankar Roy Sishu Udyan, close to Talbagan Crossing in Kolkata. Pramit Mukhopadhyay was arrested later the same night at his residence. The police have seized the mobile phones of all three accused. The official had visited the site and kept it under protection till they had done a forensic examination. They requested custody remand for further investigation. (ANI)

Our party will launch new membership drive titled 'United Tamil Nadu' on July 1: DMK MP P Wilson
Chennai (Tamil Nadu) [India], June 28 (ANI): Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam MP P Wilson on Friday said that a new membership drive campaign titled 'United Tamil Nadu' will be launched on July 1 by DMK President and Chief Minister MK Stalin. Speaking to reporters at the DMK headquarters, Anna Arivalayam, in Chennai, DMK MP said, 'In recent times, Tamil Nadu has been facing several injustices -- such as the non-recognition of the Keeladi excavations, imposition of Hindi, denial of educational funds, postponement of the national population census, denial of medical dreams for students through NEET, and infringement of our rights under the guise of delimitation. These are ongoing attacks on Tamil Nadu.' 'For every one rupee I pay as tax, we receive back only 26 paise. No proper compensation has been given for the damages caused by cyclones. The central government is trying to impose the National Education Policy and make Hindi a compulsory subject. They have even denied us our rightful share of education funding, for which we have approached the courts,' he added. Speaking further about the 'United Tamil Nadu' campaign, he said, 'This initiative aims to protect our land, language, and dignity. They don't want the world to know the historical significance of Tamil Nadu revealed through the Keeladi excavations. That's how deep their hatred toward Tamil Nadu runs.' The 'United Tamil Nadu' initiative emphasises that everyone in the state must come together and fight in unity. The goal is to enrol one crore (10 million) new members in 45 days through 68,000 field agents. The objective is to unite at least 30% of the people in every polling booth, the DMK leader said. The aim of 'United Tamil Nadu' is to reach every household in Tamil Nadu directly, urging them to participate in the campaign -- and to register them in the name of their choice. A special mobile application will be used for this. To support this, the party's tech team will receive state-level training on June 28 and 29, he added. He reiterated that the 'United Tamil Nadu' membership campaign will be officially launched by DMK President and Chief Minister M. K. Stalin through a press meet on July 1. Following that, district-level press meets will be held. On July 2, rallies will be conducted in 26 party districts. The campaign will conclude on August 11, DMK leader stated. (ANI)
