In a major development that could reshape global energy markets, the United Arab Emirates has officially announced its decision to withdraw from both OPEC and OPEC+ to prioritize its own national interests. As energy prices continue to soar amidst the ongoing conflict in the Middle East and the critical situation regarding the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, the UAE has decided to shift its long-term strategic and economic vision. This bombshell announcement marks a significant turning point for the nation as it moves to take greater control of its energy profile following years of navigating complex production quotas and regional tensions.

The Government has officially appointed Lieutenant General Dhiraj Seth (PVSM, UYSM, AVSM), currently serving as the Vice Chief of the Army Staff, as our next Chief of the Army Staff. He will take over the reins on the afternoon of June 30, 2026, succeeding General Upendra Dwivedi upon his retirement.

Commissioned into the Armoured Corps in 1986, Lt Gen Seth brings nearly four decades of extraordinary strategic and operational experience. From commanding an Armoured Brigade in the Western Theatre and a Counter-Insurgency Force in J&K, to leading the premier Sudarshan Chakra Corps, his field expertise is unmatched. He also holds the rare distinction of having commanded two operational Army Commands—the South Western and Southern Commands—over a period of two and a half years.

Beyond his operational brilliance, Lt Gen Seth is a true scholar-warrior. He has been deeply instrumental in shaping the Indian Army's modernization trajectory, force management, and capability roadmap at the headquarters. A graduate of the National Defence College and the prestigious Command & Staff Course in Paris, his strategic vision aligns perfectly with the demands of the future battlefield.

DRDO has successfully demonstrated a cutting-edge multi-layered Ballistic Missile Defence (BMD) system alongside the thrilling maiden flight-test of the Naval Anti-Ship Missile–Medium Range.

This incredible double achievement is a massive boost to our national security and proudly places India among an elite, select group of nations possessing advanced BMD capabilities.

A huge salute to our brilliant scientists and engineers for their relentless dedication to keeping our skies and seas safe, marking a massive leap towards a truly self-reliant India.

When questioned about India's relationship with Russia and Europe's continuous lectures on morality, MEA @DrSJaishankar delivered a reality check that the world needed to hear.

"No European country has been attacked with Indian weapons. I wish I could say the same about European weapons used against India."

He firmly doubled down, adding:

"No attack has been made on any European country with Indian weapons... so keep this in mind."

This isn't just a diplomatic rebuttal; it's a profound statement of historical fact. The absolute confidence to look Western powers in the eye and call out double standards comes from a stronger, more self-assured India. 🇮🇳

We are no longer playing by rules set by others.

Tragic news from the Gulf of Oman as three Indian seafarers have lost their lives following a US military strike on the commercial vessel Settebello. India has strongly condemned the attack and is working to bring the remaining crew home safely and ensure the return of the deceased. Our thoughts and prayers are with the grieving families during this difficult time.

Tensions are rising within NATO after a leaked Pentagon email suggested the US might try to suspend Spain for refusing to back its military campaign against Iran. While NATO officials quickly clarified that the alliance’s treaty has "no provision" to expel or suspend any member, the drama highlights a growing rift. President Trump and US defense officials have openly slammed European allies as "free riders" and "paper tigers" for not stepping up, even hinting at pulling diplomatic support for the UK's Falkland Islands as payback. Despite the pressure, Spain and the UK are holding their ground, insisting they will act only within international law and their own national interests. Turns out, holding a 32-member alliance together during wartime is easier said than done.

Despite ongoing political tensions and rumors of a last-minute swap, FIFA has made it clear that Italy will not be replacing Iran in the upcoming World Cup. While a US envoy suggested bringing the four-time champions into the tournament through political channels, both FIFA and Italian sports officials have firmly rejected the idea, agreeing that World Cup spots must be earned on the pitch rather than through political privileges. With tournament organizers and FIFA President Gianni Infantino emphasizing that sports should remain completely separate from politics, Iran is fully prepared and confirmed to take the field as scheduled.

As the NIA probes Hamas links in the Pahalgam terror attack for the first time, an old and uncomfortable truth is resurfacing. Evidence from intelligence reports, academic studies, and former SIMI insiders suggests the Gaza-based terror group has long held ideological and financial links with radical Islamist networks right here in India.

This isn't just a localized threat; it is a critical wake-up call. The Pahalgam probe could ultimately expose a much deeper, dangerous global jihadist nexus that has been operating in the shadows for years.

Watch the full video to know more about our new CDS, his legendary journey, and what this means for the future of India's national security.

The Strait of Hormuz is on a knife-edge after President Donald Trump ordered the interception of Iranian-linked shipping vessels. With China’s advanced Type 052DL guided-missile destroyer, the Tangshan, actively deployed alongside its escort fleet in nearby waters, speculation is exploding worldwide about a potential superpower showdown. Is Beijing gearing up for a direct military counter-blockade to protect its massive energy imports, or is this just a routine deployment being viewed through a crisis lens? In this video, we break down the critical timeline, the naval logistics, and the geopolitical reality behind the sudden maritime tensions. Watch now to find out what this means for global oil markets and the shifting balance of naval power.

It's deeply disheartening to see a rise in anti-India remarks and hurtful racist rhetoric from prominent figures in the United States, including recent social media shares from President Donald Trump labeling nations like India as "hellholes" and targeting Indian tech immigrants. While U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio attempted to downplay the backlash during his New Delhi press conference by dismissing it as "stupid stuff" from "stupid people online," the impact of these words is real and deeply felt. Debates over H-1B visas, trade, and outsourcing should never be used as an excuse to demean Indian professionals who have contributed immensely to global innovation. India has rightfully condemned these remarks, reminding the world that mutual respect must remain the foundation of any strong international partnership.

Bangladeshi civilians resorted to stone-pelting at our BSF jawans during crucial border fencing operations in Siliguri (Phansidewa) and Cooch Behar.

Despite the unprovoked aggression, the BSF displayed immense restraint—not a single shot was fired!

The mission to secure our nation will not be deterred. Following the recent government change in West Bengal, the BSF is relentlessly pushing forward to completely seal the India-Bangladesh border, permanently crushing illegal infiltration and cross-border smuggling networks.

Securing the Nation, Honoring the Uniform. Salute to the BSF! 🫡🇮🇳
