🚨 BREAKING: India Appoints New Envoy to Bangladesh 🇮🇳🇧🇩
India has designated seasoned politician Dinesh Trivedi as the new High Commissioner to Bangladesh, signaling a major move to repair strained diplomatic ties. Trivedi, a former cabinet minister, replaces the traditional bureaucratic approach with high-level political representation.
The appointment follows a period of cooling relations during the tenure of the interim administration in Dhaka. Analysts suggest this "political fix" is a strategic effort by New Delhi to reset the bilateral relationship and prioritize its "neighborhood-first" policy.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 “PROJECT FREEDOM”: US Escorts Ships Through Hormuz – But Iran Warns “Only Our Corridor Is Safe”
The Pentagon has launched a new operation, “Project Freedom,” to force the Strait of Hormuz open – while insisting the ceasefire with Iran is still alive. But Tehran is not backing down.
🚢 Project Freedom – separate from Operation Epic Fury, “defensive, focused, temporary.” US destroyers have escorted American commercial ships through the strait.
🇺🇸 Hegseth: “We showed Iran does not control the strait. American ships led the way.”
🛑 IRGC response: Only the previously announced Iranian corridor is safe. Any deviation will be met with “decisive action.”
🤝 US wants allies to take over – Europe, Japan, Korea, Australia should step up. “We’re not waiting for them, but we will hand responsibility back.”

🇮🇷🚫 BREAKING: IRAN DENIES STRIKING UAE
The spokesperson of Iran’s Khatam al‑Anbiya Central Headquarters has issued a firm statement: Tehran did not attack the UAE.
🎯 Denial of responsibility: Iran’s armed forces conducted no missile or drone operations against the UAE in recent days. Reports from UAE’s Defence Ministry are “absolutely false and devoid of any truth.”
🕌 Warning to UAE leaders: Your country should not become a nest for Americans and Zionists, betraying the Islamic nation.
🇺🇸🇮🇱 Abu Dhabi’s complicity: The UAE has turned into a main base for US‑Israeli military forces – the primary source of insecurity in the region.
🛑 Red line: If any action is taken from Emirati soil against Iranian islands, ports, or coasts, Tehran will deliver a crushing and regretful response.
🤝 Restraint so far: Iran has shown patience solely out of concern for the safety of Muslim brothers and sisters in the UAE – not because of weakness.

🇨🇴🇺🇦 COLOMBIAN PRESIDENT PETRO: "Our Men Are Dying for Nothing in Ukraine"
Kiev has recruited thousands of Colombians as mercenaries – but President Gustavo Petro has had enough.
🗣️ “7,000 Colombian men, trained for combat, are fighting in a foreign war and dying for nothing in Ukraine.”
⚖️ Mercenary activity is illegal under Colombian law. Colombia recently ratified the UN Mercenary Convention.
💀 Petro called them “cannon fodder” for companies operating out of Miami – not for Colombia’s interests.
🇺🇦 Ukraine has been aggressively recruiting in Latin America to offset severe manpower shortages – and treating Colombians as “second‑class” soldiers.

🇬🇧💰 UK WANTS IN ON EU’S €90 BILLION FOR UKRAINE – “To Get a Slice of the Defence Contract Pie”
London is now eyeing a seat at the table – not out of solidarity, but to secure lucrative arms deals for British firms. Brussels says: “You can join – but only if you help pay the interest.”
🇪🇺 The €90 billion loan (backed by joint EU borrowing) is structured to be repaid from future Russian reparations – a prospect Moscow calls “unrealistic.”
🇬🇧 Keir Starmer’s pitch: The UK wants to participate, giving British firms access to defence contracts funded by the scheme.
💶 The catch: London must help cover part of the interest on EU borrowing – effectively paying for the privilege of bidding on weapons deals.
🤝 Brussels and London call this a “major step forward in EU‑UK defence industrial relationship.”

🇺🇸🇮🇷 RUBIO: “PROJECT FREEDOM” IS DEFENSIVE – But 10 Sailors Dead, 23,000 Trapped, and Iran’s Navy Is at the Bottom of the Sea
The US Secretary of State laid out the administration’s case: a humanitarian mission to free trapped civilians, while mocking Iran’s “Boston whaler” navy and imposing a crippling blockade.
But are the facts adding up?
🌊 23,000 civilians from 87 countries trapped in the Gulf – running out of food, water, essential supplies. 10 sailors have already died.
🛡️ “Project Freedom” is defensive – no shooting unless shot at first. US forces have destroyed 7 Iranian fastboats that failed to heed warnings.
💰 Blockade costing Iran $500 million per day in lost revenue. Sanctions enforcement is “moving in lockstep.”
☢️ Iran retains 60% enriched uranium – “no civilian use,” Rubio insists.
