@naomi2009 India is caught between Washington's sanctions architecture and a Middle East conflict it had no hand in — with very little buffer time to course-correct.

@AJEnglish Iran is mad that Starlink is working inside Iran.
Meaning Iranians are using it to bypass the regime's internet blackout.
The government is "concerned" its own people can access free information. That's the real story.

[Core Indica | India First @CoreIndica]

@KobeissiLetter The country that gave the world Osama bin Laden's address is now brokering world peace.
Pakistan stays busy. 🫡

[Core Indica | India First @CoreIndica]

@WhaleInsider Pakistan spent 70 years trying to be relevant in the Middle East. Iran and US finally noticed — and named a document after their capital. This is the most Pakistani W in history. Zero contribution, 100% credit.

@BRICSinfo Iran said yes — but America's holding the cheque until Iran proves it's actually stopped.
Classic "trust but verify." Except there's not much trust left, so it's really just "verify, then maybe pay."

@FoxNews Iran is leaking false deal terms to the media while still attacking ships in the Strait of Hormuz. Trump has had enough. You can't make a deal with someone who lies at the table and shoots at ships on the way out.

SpaceX goes public today on Nasdaq under ticker $SPCX, priced at $135 a share, valuing the company at $1.77 trillion — the biggest IPO in stock market history. Futures are already trading 30% above that price. If it holds, Elon Musk becomes the world's first trillionaire before the closing bell today

[Core Indica | India First @CoreIndica]

@BRICSinfo The deal that lets Iran keep enriching, lets Khamenei keep smirking, and lets the US pretend it solved something.
Watch Israel's next move — that's the real headline.

[Core Indica | India First @CoreIndica]

@sidhant He is such a hopeless guy. After US kills our people, he is hoping that US attacks come to an end. He doesn't have a spine, neither does the government.

So petrol prices are already burning a hole in our pockets, and now diesel is being rationed too.
Middle East goes to war, and we're the ones standing in longer queues at the pump. Trucks, tractors, buses — everything runs on diesel. This hits farmers, transporters, and small businesses hardest. The people who can least afford it.

[Core Indica | India First @CoreIndica]

Indians are literally recording themselves doing their jobs — so AI can learn to do it instead. Folding towels, factory work, basic tasks — all captured, catalogued, and fed to machines.
The cruel irony? They're getting paid to train their own replacements.
But here's the other read — these are hard, repetitive, low-wage jobs. If AI takes them, what comes next matters more than what's lost.
The dystopia isn't the automation. It's having no plan for what happens after.

[Core Indica | India First @CoreIndica]

@business SpaceX just did the biggest IPO ever.
Elon Musk is now a hair away from becoming the world's first trillionaire.
The "almost" is doing a lot of work here.

[Core Indica | India First @CoreIndica]

@MarioNawfal Trump backed down. Iran keeps its uranium — just watered down, with UN inspectors watching. The strait opens, the blockade ends, ceasefire gets 60 more days. Netanyahu was kept completely in the dark. Now it's down to Khamenei's son to say yes.

[Core Indica | India First @CoreIndica]

@WatcherGuru Congratulations America: world's biggest oil producer, yet still importing millions of barrels a day because apparently being No. 1 isn't enough. The same country building Tesla factories and solar farms is also pumping more oil than Saudi Arabia.

[Core Indica | India First @CoreIndica]

@Kalshi 380 billion to chase a future none of us fully understand yet. Hope some of it goes toward making sure that future is actually good for people.

[Core Indica | India First @CoreIndica]

70 BILLION in retail orders for a $75B IPO.
Retail alone nearly filled the entire SpaceX raise and total demand crossed $250B.
Saudi Aramco's record IPO was $29.4B — this is 2.4x that. And just from regular people.
Friday isn't just a listing. It's a reset of what's possible in capital markets.

[Core Indica | India First @CoreIndica]

The government should be ashamed of itself. Literally the US is treating us like a junior partner and we are candy cotting our words. They need to see how Qatar or other middle eastern countries react when such things happen. No trade deal or diplomatic relation is above National interest or life of our country Men.

[Core Indica | India First @CoreIndica]

@TheNavroopSingh A handshake means little if there is no respect behind it. India is not a junior partner that has to keep showing up for photo-ops while its concerns are brushed aside. At this point, self-respect matters more than any diplomacy theatre.

[Core Indica | India First @CoreIndica]

If the US actually moves to take Kharg Island, it would be a major escalation with consequences far beyond Iran. The island is critical to Iran's oil exports, so any attempt to control it could disrupt global energy markets, push oil prices higher, and make a wider regional conflict more likely. The next move from Iran will be very closely monitored.

[Core Indica | India First @CoreIndica]

@REDBOXINDIA So the government saves on oil imports and helps sugarcane farmers.
But as a car owner, I just want to know: will my fuel bill go down, and will my engine be fine?
If the answer to both isn't clear, then the benefits seem to be going more to the government than to the consumer

[Core Indica | India First @CoreIndica]

Whether one sees it as market stabilization or strategic advantage, many nations may wonder why they bore the economic pain while others controlled the flow.
For energy-importing nations, the obvious question is: who had access, who didn't, and who paid the price for the uncertainty
