🚨🇨🇳 BREAKING: China has sharply criticized Paraguay after its president Santiago Peña visited Taiwan for a diplomatic trip.

Beijing called Paraguayan leaders “chess pieces” being used in broader geopolitical competition over Taiwan.

The Chinese FM strongly condemned the visit,
urging Paraguay to abandon its support for Taiwan and recognize the “One China” principle.

According to Beijing,
countries aligning with Taiwan are “isolating themselves from the international community.”

The statement reflects rising tensions around Taiwan, which remains one of the most sensitive flashpoints in global politics.

While Taiwan maintains its own government and administration, China continues to claim the island as part of its territory.

The dispute is now spilling into global diplomacy, where nations are increasingly caught between Beijing and Washington’s competing influence.

With the upcoming Trump Xi summit approaching, Taiwan’s international recognition is once again at the center of global strategictensio...

🚨🇺🇸 More than 10,000 US court rulings have reportedly gone against the Trump administration’s ICE detention policy.

According to a new POLITICO database,
federal judges across the political spectrum have repeatedly challenged the administration’s mass detention strategy.

The policy reportedly allowed authorities to detain immigrants eligible for deportation without giving them a proper hearing.

Many of those detained reportedly had no criminal records and had already built lives inside the United States.

Now, us courts are becoming one of the biggest battlefields of the immigration crisis.

Judges appointed by both Republican and Democratic presidents have issued rulings criticizing or blocking parts of the detention system.

The numbers are staggering. More than 11k court decisions reviewed.Over 10k rulings reportedly unfavorable to the administration.

Behind every statistic, there are families, detention centers, fights,
and thousands of people waiting to learn whether they will stay or be deport...
🚨🇨🇳🇺🇸 Donald Trump has arrived in Beijing for a major state visit to China.

It is the first visit by a sitting US president to China in nearly nine years.

And the timing could not be more important.

As global tensions rise,
wars expand,
and economic rivalry deepens,
Washington and Beijing are once again sitting face to face.

Trump is expected to hold high-level talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping on issues ranging from trade and security to global stability and geopolitical crises.

For years,
the relationship between the world’s two largest powers has been shaped by tariffs,
technology wars,
military competition,
and growing distrust.

But now,
both sides appear to understand something dangerous:

A world already facing multiple conflicts cannot afford a direct collapse in US-China relations.

The meeting in Beijing may not solve everything.

But the entire world will be watching what comes next.

🇮🇷 JUST IN: Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei said Iran has the full right to pursue a peaceful nuclear program under the NPT and cannot be deprived of rights granted by the treaty.

In an extensive interview with India Today, Baqaei said repeated IAEA reports have confirmed the peaceful nature of Iran’s nuclear activities, while accusing the United States of continuing to pressure Tehran over its nuclear program. He said Iran is prioritizing efforts to end the war, reopen the Strait of Hormuz, and stop what he described as a US “blockade.”

Baqaei also stated that Iran would not accept “one-sided demands” in negotiations and warned that Iran’s armed forces are prepared for any scenario. He further called for Israel’s nuclear program to be placed under international supervision.

🇮🇷🇺🇸 IRAN TO US: “WE WON’T WRITE A LETTER OF SURRENDER” – Gharibabadi

Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi makes it clear: Tehran’s conditions – compensation, guarantees against future aggression, and recognition of Iran’s sovereign rights – are “the minimum necessary” for any durable peace. Washington wants capitulation.

📜 “When a party rejects Iran’s response simply because it is not a letter of surrender, it becomes obvious that the issue is not peace but the imposition of political will through intimidation.”

💰 Tehran demands compensation for war damage, guarantees against future attacks, and respect for its sovereign rights (including control over the Strait of Hormuz and peaceful nuclear energy).

🌊 Iran maintains its maritime toll system as a defence strategy.

⚠️ Trump threatens: “One big glow coming out of Iran” if ceasefire collapses – but is currently in China, reducing immediate escalation risk.
