In July, India and US were close to finalising a deal. But #Trump intervened and made unrealistic demands. While India wanted a win-win deal and sought middle ground, Trump didn't want a deal but surrender, risking decades of progress in ties. My report. firstpost.com/world/tariff-t…

The Election Commission is not even pretending anymore.
Election Commission of India@ECISVEEP

चुनाव आयोग की तृणमूल कांग्रेस को दो टूक पश्चिम बंगाल में इस बार चुनाव: भय रहित, हिंसा रहित, धमकी रहित, प्रलोभन रहित, छापा रहित, बूथ एवं सोर्स जामिंग रहित होकर ही रहेंगे ECI's Straight-talk to Trinamool Congress This time, the Elections in West Bengal would surely be : Fear-free, Violence-free, Intimidation-free, Inducement-free and without any Chappa, Booth Jamming and Source Jamming.

As #Iran held the world economy in a chokehold at #Hormuz, #Trump accepted the Islamic Republic’s terms to beat a retreat — a strategic defeat masked in a face-saving exit after failing to achieve a single goal. I write how Iran used economy to beat USA. firstpost.com/world/with-wor…

Trump lost this war in every possible sense — morally, legally, politically, economically, reputationally, and strategically.

After failing to remove Iran’s rulers, Trump has threatened to wipe out the entire country if the rulers do not accept his terms. But the Islamic Republic was never a personalist dictatorship that could be toppled with decapitation strikes. @madhur_mrt firstpost.com/world/trump-ir…

Trump has twice made overt, unabashed, and unambiguous threats to erase an entire nation within 24 hours. That's textbook definition of genocide.

As Trump rushes to exit the war, Israel is in a race against time to achieve its goal of destroying Iran’s nuclear programme. The success rests on commando raids deep behind enemy lines to extract uranium from hundreds of feet underground. @madhur_mrt firstpost.com/world/inside-i…

As #Artemis goes farther than ever before into space, I share a piece from 2023 about spacefaring as the natural next step for humanity. Our story has been a one of curiosity, exploration, and migration, and space is the final frontier. outlookindia.com/international/…

I’ve received emails and messages from readers overnight regarding “Mr. Trump” in @CBSNews copy. When it comes to the sitting president, we use “President Trump” on first reference and “Mr. Trump” on subsequent references. No different during President Biden’s administration.

@JimLaPorta @CBSNews Funny anecdote: India's spy agency is the 'Research and Analysis Wing' (RAW). But, since it's spoken as a word, it's ideally written in my outlet as 'Raw' (not RAW or R&AW). And folks have sent emails they had problems with the writing (Raw instead of RAW).

"If the US and Israel attack Iran with a nuclear bomb, Iran will not lose. If they nuke one Iranian province, the others will keep fighting," a popular 'defence bro' said on one of the most famous Indian podcasts. These are the folks replacing the mainstream media. :-)

Apparently, a US fighter plane has been shot down over #Iran and search and rescue efforts are underway. This shootdown is different from claims circulating yesterday and appears to have happened today. nytimes.com/2026/04/03/us/…

Ground operations inside Iran are unavoidable if Israel is to achieve its main goal of dismantling the Islamic Republic’s nuclear programme, according to Prof @RichemondBarak. We discuss the war, #Israel’s goals, and the death-defying mission it needs. firstpost.com/world/without-…

The sense in #Israel is that a major escalation is imminent and #Trump-Bibi appear divided about striking Kharg or #Iran’s nuclear sites, Firstpost has learnt. I report the tussle b/w Trump wanting out and Israel wanting to destroy Iran's path to nukes. firstpost.com/world/nuclear-…
