“If Iran wants to let this negotiation fall apart over Lebanon… that's ultimately their choice. We think that would be dumb, but it's their choice.”
The Trump admin would rather let Iran close the Strait of Hormuz again than simply tell Israel to stop bombing civilians.
Not a single word from Modi, Rahul Gandhi, Arvind Kejriwal, or any other national leader on the worst floods Panjab has faced in half a century.

Being an "understanding person" is the worst kind of thing. I repeat, worst. You have to understand people's situations, their problems, their traumas, but when it comes to you, you will scream alone. Absolutely alone.
Kalau bebudak futsal tak bangkit main futsal, gelanggang futsal kita akan dijajah bangsa pickleball. Sanggupkah kita lihat anak cucu kita main permainan tah apa benda nak kata tennis tidak, nak kata ping pong slow sangat. Bangkit anak-anak futsal, bangkit!!
🚨🗣 - Rio Ferdinand on Amorim's comment on Rashford:
"If it isn't true and it was me he said that about, I'm coming out all guns blazing.
"I'm holding a press conference and saying, 'I'm having no-one chat about me like that in the media'."
@sanjeet_94 Alot of this young players need to be humbled, Amad went through a bunch of loan spells to learn his place in a team. Hojlund and Garnacho need the same. Getting too carried away too early.
The weight of grief bears down on me at the news of the passing of my honoured and cherished friend: Dr Manmohan Singh.
Obituaries, essays and books a plenty there will surely be about this great man, celebrating him as the architect of India’s economic reforms. As Prime Minister, Dr Manmohan Singh was the midwife of India’s emergence as one of the world’s economic giants.
I had the rare privilege of witnessing the early years of these transformative policies first-hand while we both served as finance ministers during the 1990s. We shared a fervent commitment to the war against corruption — even collaborating on unravelling a major case.
The praise that will follow in the days ahead will be truly well-deserved. Dr Manmohan Singh, slightly awkward as a politician but undeniably upright, steadfast and resolute as a statesman, leaves behind a legacy that will inspire generations to come.
To me, he will be all that and much more. Not many people know this, and it is time that I share it with Malaysians: during the years of my incarceration, he extended a kindness that he didn’t have to — one that was neither politically expedient nor, as one can imagine, appreciated by the Malaysian government at that time. Yet, true to his character, he did it anyway. He offered scholarships for my children, particularly my son, Ihsan. Although I had declined the gracious offer, such a gesture undoubtedly showed his extraordinary humanity and generosity, demonstrative, as the Bard would have it, of a man so full of “the milk of human kindness”.
In those dark days, as I navigated the labyrinth of imprisonment, he stood by me as a true friend. Such acts of quiet magnanimity defined him, and they will remain etched in my heart forever.
Goodbye, my mitra, my bhai, Manmohan.
