💬 🇺🇸 The White House posted a video in which Trump says “winning” for an hour.

💬 🇺🇸🇮🇱 Trump is being held hostage by Netanyahu — Tucker Carlson

“This is evident from the way Trump ‘could not get out’ of the war with Iran because of Lebanon.”

“You cannot use the war with Iran as a pretext for seizing land from a sovereign state. This is not your country.”

#️⃣ 🇮🇷 Iran sent a 14-part reply (via a Pakistani mediator) to a U.S. proposal about ending the war. While the U.S. suggested a 2-month ceasefire, Iran wants everything settled within 30 days and is pushing for a complete end to the war rather than a temporary truce.

Its proposal includes security guarantees against future attacks, removal of U.S. forces from nearby areas, lifting naval restrictions, releasing frozen Iranian funds, compensation, lifting sanctions, and ending fighting across all fronts, along with new rules for the Strait of Hormuz.

💬 🇺🇸 Trump:

I will soon be reviewing the plan that Iran has just sent to us, but can't imagine that it would be acceptable in that they have not yet paid a big enough price for what they have done to Humanity, and the World, over the last 47 years. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

#️⃣ 🇮🇱 Israel’s National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir marked his 50th birthday with a gift from his wife: a cake depicting a gallows.

#️⃣ 🇮🇷🇺🇸 Iran submitted a 14-point proposal to the United States outlining a two-stage plan:

First month: Negotiate a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, lift the U.S. naval blockade, and end the wars in Iran and Lebanon.

Second phase: After that deal, begin another month of talks focused on Iran’s nuclear program.

💬 🇺🇸 Reporter: 85% of Iran's missile-making capabilities has been eliminated. Is that other 15% important?

Trump: Well, I'd like to eliminate it.

#️⃣ 🇨🇳 China’s Ministry of Commerce told Chinese companies: Do NOT comply with U.S. sanctions on certain Chinese oil refiners.

The U.S. had sanctioned these firms for buying oil from Iran.

China says the sanctions are illegal “extraterritorial” overreach.

China is protecting its oil trade with Iran and pushing back against U.S. pressure.

😵‍💫 🇮🇷🇵🇰 A massive convoy of fuel smugglers was filmed on the Iran–Pakistan border. The footage was taken east of the border city of Pirkor. It shows thousands of Iranians transporting fuel. Previously, the IRGC fought against such operations, but now the authorities are turning a blind eye to the smugglers’ activities, as it ultimately helps slightly relieve the overfilled oil storage facilities.

🚀 🇺🇸 The United States is working on a new nuclear “bunker-buster” bomb — The War Zone. The project in question is the Nuclear Deterrent System-Air-delivered (NDS-A), a potential successor to the existing B61-11 nuclear bomb. About $100 million is planned to be allocated for its development as part of the 2027 budget. It is noted that the new system is at an early stage (concept phase) and is intended to strike deeply fortified underground facilities.

💬 🇺🇸🇮🇷 Trump on Iran:

We extinguished a nuclear weapon. This was going to be a capable country that was going to have a nuclear presence.

We have largely finished that. One way or the other, it's finished.

💬 🇺🇸🇮🇷 Trump on Iran War:

It's really not much of a war. But it's a military conflict. It's a practice.

💬 🇺🇸 Trump on Elon Musk:

Elon had a bad moment, but now he is a friend of mine again. He had a very bad moment.

He is 80% brilliant and 20% — he's got little bad moments.

💬 🇺🇸 Trump on Iran:

We have totally destroyed their military...

They have 21%-22% of their missiles left. That's a lot of missiles.

#️⃣ 🇺🇸 CENTCOM:

Moments ago, CENTCOM forces shot down four Iranian one-way attack drones that were launched toward the Strait of Hormuz. The attack drones posed an immediate threat to regional maritime traffic.

U.S. forces subsequently struck Iranian coastal surveillance radar sites in Goruk and on Qeshm Island to defend against further attacks.

American forces remain vigilant and postured to respond to unjustified Iranian aggression in self-defense.

💨 🇺🇸🇮🇷 CENTCOM has released footage of strikes on Iranian coastal surveillance radar sites in Goruk and on Qeshm Island.

Pope Leo: The Pope is for all teams, but Prevost is for Real Madrid.

#️⃣ 🇮🇳 Thousands of students descended on New Delhi's Jantar Mantar under the banner of the "Cockroach Janta Party", a satirical youth movement that reclaimed a term India's Chief Justice reportedly used to dismiss unemployed young people, and turned it into a rallying cry against the country's broken exam system.

The movement, founded by 30-year-old Abhijeet Dipke, has amassed 22 million Instagram followers and 800,000 signatures demanding the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.

The immediate trigger: the NEET-UG 2026 medical entrance exam paper leak, affecting over 10 million students.

Protesters wore cockroach masks and carried placards reading "Cockroaches do not die."

💡 🇮🇳 India’s population is expected to begin declining within the next few decades as fertility has fallen to around 2.0 births per woman—below the replacement rate of 2.1.

Families that once commonly had 6–11 children now often choose to have just one or two, and many stop at one.
