Iran Israel war: New twist in Iran Israel war as North Korean leader Kim Jong un warns Trump, Netanyahu, says...
Iran Israel war: As the ongoing conflict between Iran and Israel is intensifying by the day, there is a new twist to it. While major nations have condemned Iran's attack, there is a country which has condemned Israel's attack.
North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un has condemned the Israeli attack on Iran. Pyongyang's Foreign Ministry spokesman issued a statement regarding the attack on Iran's civilian, nuclear and energy facilities, saying that it is an unforgivable crime against humanity. It is pushing the region towards a new widespread war.
North Korea not only criticised Israel but also accused the US and European countries, saying that they are joint partners in the crime. They are protecting state-sponsored terrorists. The North Korean Foreign Ministry spokesman further said that the US and Western countries, along with Israel, are becoming cancer for the peace of the Middle East. However, the international community is keeping an eye on the US and the West, who are constantly trying to deny the sovereignty and right to self-defense of the victim Iran.
North Korea's counter-warning
US President Donald Trump recently said that his patience against Iran has now ended. They have made the situation more sensitive. In response to this, North Korea said that your actions are taking the Middle East towards destruction. It is clear from this statement that both North Korea and Iran are dissatisfied. They consider it responsible for global instability.
Indication of nuclear tension
As per the Wall Street Journal report, Trump has told his aides that he has approved the plan to attack Iran but has withheld the decision on the condition of abandoning the nuclear program.

Donald Trump's Self-Endorsed Nobel Peace Prize Nomination Sparks India-Pakistan Diplomatic Storm
US President Donald Trump has once again demanded the Nobel Peace Prize, claiming he deserves not just one — but four to five of them. Speaking to reporters, Trump said his role in resolving the India-Pakistan conflict, as well as efforts in places like Rwanda, Congo, Serbia, and Kosovo, should have earned him the honour multiple times. His remarks came after Pakistan nominated Trump for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize, claiming his "decisive diplomatic intervention" helped secure a ceasefire between India and Pakistan following the deadly Pahalgam terror attack and India's bold response under Operation Sindoor. According to a report by Dawn, the Pakistani government credited Trump's leadership as "pivotal" in de-escalating the situation, even labelling him a "genuine peacemaker." However, the Indian government has categorically denied any US involvement in the ceasefire. India's Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri clarified that there were no trade talks or mediation discussions with the US during the crisis. Prime Minister Narendra Modi reportedly made it clear to Trump that any resolution was strictly bilateral and had nothing to do with any external actor.#donaldtrump #nobelprize #nobelpeaceprize #pakistan #trumpnobelprize #operationsindoor #indiapakistanconflict #modireacts #pakistanpolitics #trumpnews #usforeignpolicy #indiaresponds #nobelnomination #geopolitics #toi #toibharat #bharat #breakingnews #indianews Read More

Rs 3200000000000000: This huge amount is giving US president Trump sleepless nights, he is now begging before China due to... Difficult days are ahead for Prsident Donald Trump as US's national debt has crossed $37 trillion (about Rs 32 lakh billion). This has rung alarm bells in the financial and policy world. The cost of paying interest on the debt is reaching about $1 trillion every year. This level can soon cripple the federal budget. It can stop the essential work of the government. As of June 20, the US government owes more than the country's entire economy in a year. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates that if there is no major reform, the debt will reach 156% of GDP by 2055. Currently, an annual deficit of $2 trillion is increasing the debt. This is happening due to increased spending and slow growth in revenue. The biggest threat is the interest bill. About a quarter of the federal tax income is now being spent on repaying the debt. This means that less money will be left for programs like Social Security, Medicare, national defense and infrastructure. Millions of Americans depend on these programs. The debt of $37 trillion is a matter of great concern for US in many ways. It affects US's economic policies and global relations. It is also considered to be the reason behind Donald Trump's softening of tone against China in the trade war. This loan can create many problems Budget cuts aren't the only threats. Economists say this debt route could reduce private investment, raise borrowing costs and hamper economic growth. The CBO estimates that if the debt is not brought under control, GDP could be reduced by $340 billion over the next decade, it could lose 1.2 million jobs and slow wage growth. Raising interest rates would worsen the damage. As global lenders demand higher returns to finance the U.S. deficit, borrowing costs will rise for businesses, homeowners and the federal government. Threat of financial crisis is increasing on US The risk of a financial crisis is increasing. If investors lose faith in the government's ability to manage finances, there could be a sharp rise in interest rates or a collapse of the dollar. This could weaken economic stability. There could be global shocks. However, the US economy is still growing. But its pace has slowed down considerably. This year GDP growth is estimated to be just 1.4%–1.6%. Unemployment is rising. Inflation is still above target. The margin for error is shrinking. The old sayings of economists, business leaders and people like Elon Musk are now coming true. If America continues on this path, not only will future generations pay the price for it, but this crisis may come very soon.

‘Disturbing departure from moral, diplomatic traditions': Sonia Gandhi slams India's silence on Israel offensive in Gaza, Iran
Congress Parliamentary Party chairperson Sonia Gandhi on Saturday criticised India's silence on Israel's offensive in Gaza and Iran as 'not just a loss of its voice, but also a surrender of values'. In an article published in The Hindu titled 'It is still not too late for India's voice to be heard', Gandhi said the Narendra Modi government had abandoned India's 'long-standing and principled commitment to a peaceful two-nation solution' envisioning an independent Palestine along with Israel. 'It is still not too late. India must speak clearly, act responsibly, and use every diplomatic channel available to defuse tensions and promote a return to dialogue in West Asia,' wrote Gandhi in the article. She also criticised US President Donald Trump for following a 'destructive path' in West Asia, after having spoken against America's endless wars. 'What is deeply regrettable is that the U.S. President Donald Trump — who once spoke out against America's endless wars and the influence of the military-industrial complex — now appears willing to follow this destructive path,' she wrote. 'New Delhi's silence on the devastation in Gaza and now on the unprovoked escalation against Iran reflects a disturbing departure from our moral and diplomatic traditions. This represents not just a loss of voice but also a surrender of values,' the Congress leader said in her article. She also said that in the face of this humanitarian catastrophe, 'the Narendra Modi government has all but abandoned India's long-standing and principled commitment to a peaceful two-state solution, one that envisions a sovereign, independent Palestine living side-by-side with Israel in mutual security and dignity'. Gandhi noted that on June 13, 2025, the world has, once again, 'witnessed the dangerous consequences of unilateral militarism when Israel launched a deeply troubling and unlawful strike against Iran and its sovereignty'. She said the Indian National Congress has condemned these bombings and targeted assassinations on Iranian soil, which represents a dangerous escalation with grave regional and global consequences. 'As with so many of Israel's recent actions, including its brutal and disproportionate campaign in Gaza, this operation was executed with utter disregard for civilian lives and regional stability. These actions will only deepen instability and sow the seeds of further conflict,' she wrote. Gandhi also alleged that the current Israeli leadership under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu 'has a long and unfortunate record of undermining peace and nurturing extremism'. She claimed that given the record, 'it is not surprising that Netanyahu would choose escalation over engagement'. Referring to the US President, she said, Trump's June 17 statement dismissing its own intelligence chief's assessment and claiming that Iran was 'very close' to acquiring nuclear weapons is 'deeply disappointing'. 'The world expects and needs leadership that is grounded in facts and driven by diplomacy, and not by force or falsehoods,' she said. Gandhi said Iran has been a long-standing friend to India and is bound to us by deep civilisational ties. 'It has a history of steadfast support, including in Jammu and Kashmir at crucial junctures. In 1994, Iran helped block a resolution critical of India at the UN Commission on Human Rights on the Kashmir issue,' she noted. 'Indeed, the Islamic Republic of Iran has been much more cooperative with India than its predecessor, the Imperial State of Iran, that had tilted towards Pakistan in the 1965 and 1971 wars,' she added. Mentioning the India-Israel strategic relations in recent decades, she said, 'This unique position gives our country the moral responsibility and the diplomatic leverage to act as a bridge for de-escalation and peace.' 'This is not simply an abstract principle. Lakhs of Indian citizens are living and working across West Asia, which makes peace in the region an issue of vital national interest,' she said. 'Israel's recent actions against Iran have taken place in an atmosphere of impunity, enabled by near-unconditional support from powerful western nations,' Gandhi added. She said that the Congress had unequivocally condemned the 'absolutely horrific and totally unacceptable attacks' by Hamas on October 7, 2023, but 'we cannot remain silent in the face of Israel's catastrophic and disproportionate response'. 'More than 55,000 Palestinians have lost their lives. Entire families, neighbourhoods, and even hospitals have been obliterated. Gaza stands on the brink of famine, and its civilian population continues to suffer unspeakable hardship,' she added.
