Following intensive talks, we are pleased to announce that the Peace Deal between the United States of America and Islamic Republic of Iran has been REACHED. Both sides have declared the immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon.

The official signing ceremony will be on Friday, 19 June in Switzerland.

We would like to thank the United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran for their commitment to finding a diplomatic solution to the conflict. We would also like to extend our sincere appreciation to our brothers in this mediation effort, the great leadership of State of Qatar, for their support in reaching this agreement. I would also especially thank the visionary leadership of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Republic of Türkiye for their immense contributions in this regard.

With the agreement now in place, mediators will facilitate a series of meetings this week. These pre-implementation discussions will lay the foundation for the technical talks and the official signing ceremony.

The government has taken down our iconic website - https://t.co/ELmb4ZlEed.

10 Lakh cockroaches had signed up on our website has members.

6 Lakh cockroaches had signed a petition to demand the resignation of Dharmendra Pradhan.

Why is the government so scared of cockroaches? But this dictatorial behaviour is opening the eyes of India's youth. Our only crime is we were demanding a better future for ourselves.

But you can't get rid of us that easily. We’re working on a new home right now. Cockroaches never die. 🪳

Muthu ji, your political views are your own - but please do speed up the returns on my investments. 😃

Absolutely FANTASTIC ground reports by @Saurabh_Unmute & Saurabh Shahi from Iran. Reporting from international locations is logistically tough - even for big media.
For a small independent digital channel to do this is trend setting. Wishing all the best to the @TheRedMike team 💪🏽

The man who defined Indian photo-journalism for half a century.. whose pictures often told more than a 1000 words ever could (especially his classic Indira Gandhi pics) is no more. Raghu Rai didn’t just photograph India — he taught generations how to see it. RIP Om Shanti 🙏

संशोधन विधेयक गिर गया।

उन्होंने महिलाओं के नाम पर, संविधान को तोड़ने के लिए, असंवैधानिक तरकीब का इस्तेमाल किया।

भारत ने देख लिया।
INDIA ने रोक दिया।

जय संविधान।
