#BREAKING: US President Donald Trump announces ceasefire for five days, all Military attacks against Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure postponed. Trump confirms back channel negotiations with Iran over last two days to end hostilities.

[Aditya Raj Kaul @AdityaRajKaul]

Did Trump just concede defeat from Iran?

Trump says the Strait of Hormuz will be likely jointly controlled by him and the next Ayatollah of Iran.

Major statement indirectly claiming there will be no regime change in Iran.

United States 🇺🇸 0 Iran 🇮🇷 1

[Aditya Raj Kaul @AdityaRajKaul]

Trump may not show it but he seems to be very desperate to end the war with Iran. United States is desperately looking for an off ramp to end the conflict while Israel wants to pursue it indefinitely. Looks like it’s clear to Trump that regime change isn’t possible in Iran.

“Delighted to call on President @EmmanuelMacron of France today and convey warm wishes of PM @narendramodi.

Deeply appreciate his perspectives on contemporary global developments and positive sentiments for our Strategic Partnership”, he says.

[Sidhant Sibal @sidhant]

French President Macron says 'its time for new partnerships', calling for reforming intl governance. Adds, 'might is right seems to be reining & people are wondering if Greenland is about to be invaded, if Canada is about to become 51st state, or if Taiwan is under threat'

88 painful years after Nehru, acceding to Jinnah's demand, excised it from Vande Mataram, a sitting Prime minister of India proudly sings the sacred paragraph that invokes Goddess Durga. They are not words, they are our history, they are our destiny.

Thank you, @narendramodi.

It was a moment to behold. He became the Prime minister. But cruel fate and friendships intervened. He lasted only 13 days.

He was Atal Bihari Vajpayee. And through his resignation speech he made us realise, we are not only the world's largest democracy but also the greatest.

#ThisDayThatYear | 11 Dec 1971

Tangail Airborne Assault

On this day, the IAF led the subcontinent’s first major airborne assault. An-12s, Packets and Dakotas paradropped a 750-strong battalion group at Tangail, opening the axis to Dhaka.

With full air dominance, the IAF executed a rare daylight drop, guided by Pathfinders and protected by Gnat and MiG-21 fighters. The force rapidly secured the Poongli Bridge, severing Dhaka’s Northern link.

The operation set a defining benchmark in joint planning, precision and battlefield courage.
