@ShivAroor @ndtv please dont stop covering this! when you have NIA, ATS and IB involved this ceases to harassment! its way more and a national security matter!

1. POSH training alone isn't effective. What are they doing to address this? Time and time again, men make the same moves, and women fall for the same shit.
2. Do Muslim hires fall under DEI? If yes, then they need to re-evaluate their hiring practices. DEI is supposed to help marginalized communities and bring a sense of balance and diversity to the team. Instead they've brought in terrorists.
3. The HR dept's job was to get ahead of this whole thing before it became such a huge scandal. What do they plan to do with the HR department? The buck stops with the CHRO. How many heads are actually going to roll?
4. There cannot be a situation where there are only or majorly Muslim men (and women) in any team. It has to be a Hindu/Christian/Jain mixed majority so that such situations do not arise again. Recruitment practices and referrals need to be thoroughly vetted and evaluated. Or make it such that Muslims cannot refer anyone else. Is it discriminatory but i care more about Hindu women lives than Muslim feelings.
5. Why wasn't the background verification sufficient? Why has it come a point where the anti terrorism squad is involved in this case??
6. Why isn't there on-campus counselling services for employees paid for by the company? This could have been averted atleast to some degree.

@Rolee_Kachru @Iyervval Wasn’t the same method adopted in the case of Israel and hamas? Where neither parties were involved?

Indian Intelligence Agencies are tracking Matrimonial Profiles for possible fraud or honeytraps 😂😂 🤯🤯

Didn't see that one coming

Netanyahu only made things worse and is leaving defeated.

“Netanyahu: Iran Still a Threat to Israel, ‘But No Longer an Existential One’.”
Netanyahu said that Iran can still threaten Israel, but “can no longer threaten our existence.”

But there is nothing more defeatist than this. It is 100% defeatist rhetoric!
Netanyahu has always made the three objectives of the war clear:

1. Regime change
2. Limiting missile capabilities
3. Dismantling the nuclear program

He has achieved none of these objectives, but he has saddled Israel with $60-80 billion in losses from this war.

And here’s why I say that:
Each day of operations m, including interceptors and material damage, costs between $1.5–2 billion, based on the spending during the 12-day war. The damages are still being calculated, and there are reports of thousands of compensation claims for direct damage caused by Iranian missiles.
The economic loss is estimated by the Israeli Ministry of Finance at $3 billion per week.

Netanyahu’s megalomania has created more problems than solutions.

If the Iranians hadn’t built a nuclear weapon before, now they have every reason to do so.

@kushal_mehra Hats off to you tolerating haleem takes alot from any sane person. She is an absolute bimbo!

@sushantsareen @Akshay_VAK And evoking this nostalgia of strategic clarity from an idiotic Pakistani politician who is at best a bimbo!

I didn't have film critics tweeting like they are war correspondents in my 2026 bingo.

Next they will want a Purple Heart for surviving the Great Dhurandhar Backlash of 2025-26.

@Globalbaba8 @MSDianAbhiii Exactly

[Ram @ramprasad_c]

Telugu film heroes and directors have given up the scarcity mindset and adopted an abundance mindset. They are the first and most vocal in supporting good cinema anywhere in India. Quite refreshing

[RIDDS @Rids81]

@divya_16_ 😂😂😂 likewise

This is literally the dumbest war in human history. No hyperbole.

[Dr Andreas Krieg @andreas_krieg]

This is an attack by Israel on Qatar

Israel is deliberately targeting upstream energy infrastructure in Iran to compel Iran to respond with an attack on Qatar's North Field

The unhinged IRGC regime will fall for Israel's reflexive control

[Shiv Aroor @ShivAroor]

1. We need NATO help.
2. Not surprised NATO not helping.
3. We no longer need NATO help!
4. Actually we never needed NATO help.
5. We need Japan, Aus, Korea help.
6. They’re not helping either.
7. We are the most powerful country.
8. WE DON’T NEED ANYONE’S HELP!

[Olga Bazova @OlgaBazova]

Can this be a solution?

[Dr Andreas Krieg @andreas_krieg]

You would have to position it further south to make far away enough from Iranian waters - somewhere between Sohar and Abu Dhabi

Crossing 500+ m elevation through the Hajar mountains with 20-30 locks or tunnels, it would cost $500 bn dollars and would be more challenging than NEOM

In 2008 the UAE had a proposal for a 112 mile stretch canal that was estimated to cost in the region of $200bn

20 people in the UAE have been charged for sharing videos of Iranian strikes

A reminder that we have absolutely no clue how bad the situation really is in any of these countries

Iran is not on a suicide mission. It is on autopilot. And nobody in Tehran can reach the controls.

In 2003, Major General Mohammad Ali Jafari watched the United States decapitate Saddam Hussein’s centralised command structure in three weeks. He spent the next four years at the IRGC Strategic Studies Centre designing a military architecture that could never be decapitated. In September 2007, he was appointed IRGC Commander and immediately restructured Iran’s entire military into 31 autonomous provincial commands, one per province, each with independent headquarters, command and control, missile and drone arsenals, fast-attack boat flotillas, integrated Basij militias, pre-delegated launch authority, stockpiled munitions, and sealed contingency orders. The doctrine was built for one scenario: the death of the Supreme Leader.

That scenario arrived on 28 February 2026. The doctrine activated within hours. It has been running ever since.

The question nobody has asked is whether anyone inside the Islamic Republic can turn it off.

No. The reason is constitutional.

Article 110 of Iran’s 1979 Constitution vests sole command authority over all armed forces exclusively in the Supreme Leader. He alone is commander-in-chief. He alone appoints and dismisses military leadership. No other institution, not the President, not the Parliament, not the Guardian Council, not the judiciary, possesses constitutional power to issue military orders or rescind the Supreme Leader’s directives.

Ali Khamenei issued the pre-delegation orders. Ali Khamenei is dead. Mojtaba Khamenei was appointed successor on 8th March. He has not spoken. He has not appeared. He has issued no verifiable order. He was wounded in an airstrike and has never addressed his nation in his life. The sole constitutional authority that could override 31 autonomous commands exists in an office occupied by a man who may not be capable of exercising it.

Ghalibaf can reject ceasefires. He cannot order the IRGC to stop. Pezeshkian can issue statements. He cannot countermand a provincial commander in Bushehr launching anti-ship missiles at a tanker. The Guardian Council can vet legislation. It cannot revoke firing authority issued by a dead commander-in-chief whose orders remain legally binding until a living one explicitly rescinds them. No living one has.

The 31 commands are not disobeying. They are obeying. The last orders said: fight independently, with whatever you have, for as long as it takes, without waiting for instructions that may never come. Those orders were designed to survive the death of the man who issued them. That was the entire purpose of Jafari’s twenty-year project.

For insurers: no counterparty can guarantee cessation across 31 independent actors.

For diplomats: no signatory can bind commands they do not control.

For military planners: no single headquarters whose destruction ends the campaign.

For Gulf states: each faces localised harassment from the adjacent Iranian province’s fast-attack boats, drones, and coastal missiles without any central coordination to intercept or negotiate with.

For markets: seven P&I clubs modelled the probability that all 31 commands would simultaneously honour any agreement and concluded near zero. That calculation has not changed because the constitutional mechanism that could compel compliance does not functionally exist.

The doctrine was not designed to win. It was designed to make losing impossible. Jafari studied how centralised armies die. He built one that cannot.

The machine runs without a pilot. The pilot is dead. And the constitution says only the pilot could have turned it off.
