Block the straight of Hormuz for a week and the world goes mad but block the Rafah crossing for years, preventing the entry of food and humanitarian aid into Gaza and nobody bats an eye. It’s not hard to see that this world values markets, profit and capitalism over human lives.

"Rare event in history"? The only rare event here is seeing a former insurgent commander try to act like a neutral observer while his territory is still being used as a skyway for other people's missiles. Sharaa claims to keep Syria "away from conflict," but in reality, he is just a placeholder for Western interests, trading away Syria's sovereignty for sanctions relief and a seat at the UN.

Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa on Iran: What is happening now is a major and rare event in history that we haven’t witnessed since World War II. We are carefully calculating our steps and working to keep Syria away from any conflict, so that it can maintain its path of development and reconstruction.

"Aap pravachan de rahe ho". This was the court's response to a man whose livelihood was destroyed for the "crime" of being a decent human being. By refusing to quash a clearly partisan FIR and then banning him from social media, the court has effectively handed a win to the bullies.

@DalrympleWill First, he ignores the systematic stripping of Palestinian rights abroad, and now he is using his seat in the Commons to smear British Muslims as a threat to democracy. His speeches are screaming "Islamophobia"

@SkyNews Mary Robinson is exposing the hollow core of Western diplomacy. We are told that international law is sacred when it applies to Ukraine, but it becomes optional when the U.S. and Israel launch a war on Iran. This isn't a rules-based order; it is a power-based order

Former President of Ireland Mary Robinson says we can't have "double standards" with the international rule of law. She compares the criticism of Putin invading Ukraine with the U.S. and Israel's strike on Iran, which she says very few countries have spoken explicitly about it.

The irony is deafening. A man stands up to a mob to protect a senior citizen, and instead of protection, he gets a 10-year felony charge and a gag order. The court's claim that he is sensationalizing the issue by speaking up on social media is a classic way to silence a victim. When the state fails to stop the mob but moves with lightning speed to stop the man who filmed them, the justice system isn't just failing; it is actively picking a side.

Erdogan’s message this year is incredibly heavy. Using the end of Ramadan to describe the entire region as a boiling pot shows just how impossible a real peace has become. By framing this as a fight against a Zionist system that thinks it is above everyone else, he is making it clear that Turkey sees this as a much bigger clash of civilizations rather than just a simple border fight. Whether or not anyone actually pays a price, his words alone have turned up the heat to a point where the world can no longer ignore the anger.

Turkish President Erdogan, in his Eid al-Fitr message: "The Middle East is boiling right now, and as is known, Zionist Israel has killed hundreds of thousands of people. God willing, it will pay the price for this. I have no doubt about that."

@BNODesk My thoughts are with the workers who had to make the impossible choice to jump from the building and with the first responders who are risking everything to find the missing before it is too late.

Remember that moment when the IDF was attacking Palestinian worshippers inside the Al Aqsa Mosque during the Ramadan prayers? Of course you don’t, because the Western mainstream media has done a damn good job making sure you stay in the dark....

@Nihonpolitics "Best buddies" or just a submissive follower? Takaichi’s reaction to the Biden portrait snub is the definition of weak leadership.

It is genuinely cringeworthy to watch a world leader laugh at a schoolyard prank just hours after being publicly insulted by the same person. Takaichi isn’t managing the alliance; she’s acting like fanboy desperate for the bullys approval. You can’t claim to lead a proud nation like Japan while giggling at an autopen photo with a man who just used your country’s greatest tragedy as a punchline. This isn’t diplomacy -it’s a total lack of a spine-

Prime Minister Takaichi visited the White House's wall of portraits, where Donald Trump replaced the official photo of Biden with an autopen. Takaichi reacted positively, seeming to laugh at the image mocking Joe Biden.

@AJEnglish Closing Al-Aqsa for three weeks and then blocking Eid prayers isn't about security; it is about stripping them of its legal authority and isolating the mosque from the people.

@Reuters This is what a "war economy" looks like in real time. China and Vietnam are cutting off the taps to protect their own domestic grids, leaving smaller nations like Cambodia to beg for leftovers from Singapore :(

There is a staggering level of arrogance in telling Americans to "find comfort" in the suffering of their allies.

‘Our allies are suffering more than we are!’ Vice President of the US says rest of the world is suffering more than the US from high gas prices because of ‘green energy scams’. TEMPORARY BLIP for America, LONG TERM HEADACHE for the world in the wake of a war without a strategy or clear end game. 🙏

There is no "security" excuse for gas-bombing people trying to pray on the holiest day of their calendar. Closing Al-Aqsa for the first time in nearly 60 years and then attacking those who gather at the gates is a clear act of religious repression. If the goal was safety, you would let people pray in peace; instead, the authorities chose to turn a day of celebration into a day of state-sponsored violence.

Those who saw’A Beautiful Mind’, would remember that John Nash’s doctoral thesis had just 26 pages and 2 references, yet it was instrumental in advancing “Game theory”. What if I told you there is a scientist whose achievement is so astounding that he is perhaps the only Indian to “create” an intersectional branch of science? What if I told you that every year, his name echoes across the hallowed halls of science in foreign lands, but most of our students haven't even heard of him? Aneesur Rahman was born in Hyderabad in British India in 1927. His father was a professor and a philanthropist. His family generously donated their property for the creation of Urdu Hall in Hyderabad. His maternal uncle was a professor too. Rahman had a natural flair for subjects that would terrify ‘normal’ students — maths and physics. After getting BSc in Mathematics, he went on to get Tripos in Mathematics and Physics at the prestigious Cambridge University in the UK. From there, he went to Louvaine University in Belgium and got DSc in Physics under Professor Mannenbeck. It’s here that Rahman met a Chinese student Yueh-Erh Li who was doing MD( called Dr Jady by friends). They fell in love and got married. He came back to teach in Osmania university along with his wife. Soon after, he developed interest in the structure of water molecule - especially the polarisation of the hydrogen atom. Unfortunately research in India was at infancy in those days and Dr Rahman realized he was a whale in a tiny pond. He had to move to the ocean. He joined the Argonne National Laboratory in Illinois. His foundational paper in 1964 birthed “molecular dynamics” , one of the two pillars on which a vast body of computational physics rests.(the other is Monte Carlo method). His equation made it possible to calculate the trajectory of large number of interacting atoms with ease. His work, like Ramanujan’s , was so ahead of his time - that even today, potential applications are being discovered. The Nobel prize in physics for 2013 went to Karplus, Levitt and Warshel whose work depended heavily on Dr Aneesur Rahman’s. Some say there is an inverse association between genius and compassion -Dr Rahman was a prominent exception. He was known not just for his intellect, but also kind nature and mentored many students all over the world. His quiet, unassuming nature made him a much loved professor — and he remained so, until he got Non Hodgkin’s lymphoma — a cancer that took him away from us prematurely, at the age of 59. Perhaps he might have got a Nobel, if only he had lived longer. American Physical Society honors him as the father of computational physics and has instituted an annual award in his name. As a doctor with little idea of theoretical physics, writing Dr Aneesur Rahman’s portrait has been difficult , because of the complex nature of his work that straddles so many areas of science : mathematics, physics, computer science and chemistry. His equations are mind boggling, even intimidating, but what I do understand is this : Dr Rahman didn't just have a beautiful mind, but also a beautiful heart.
