[BRICS News @BRICSinfo]

JUST IN: 🇮🇷🇺🇸 Iran commits indefinitely to never obtaining a nuclear weapon under deal with US.

[Sandeep Manudhane @sandeep_PT]

Iran took on the combined military might of US and Israel, ~90X their economic size, and won.
It's about confidence, self-respect and courage.

India voiced its firm opposition to attacks on merchant shipping amid the ongoing Iran conflict, as it told the UN Security Council that several of its nationals have died or are missing due to attacks in the region. https://t.co/exlxdGbGFK

'India’s nuclear doctrine was built for 2003. The logic of deterrence has changed by 2026'

The United States and India signed a bilateral Critical Minerals Framework, marking a milestone in the strategic partnership between the U.S. and India. This sets us on a path toward reliable & resilient mineral supply chains, reinforcing key objectives established by @POTUS.

[Zorawar Daulet Singh @Z_DauletSingh]

MEA should have used this occasion to categorically separate India from the fraudulent ‘rules based order’ where unilateral U.S./Western sanctions and domestic legislation masquerade as norms for the rest of the world. This attitude of the US being above the law is the central problem of international relations in the present world order and the main impetus for multipolarity.

Instead, India is still attempting to explain the logic of US aggression !

India is firmly opposed to attacks on merchant shipping as many of our nationals are prominent in its global workforce: Indian envoy to UN @IndiaUNNewYork @AmbHarishP on West Asia war

Deeply devastated by the tragic news from the Gulf of Oman. Three innocent Indian civilian seafarers — Patnala Suresh, Shivanand Chaurasiya, and Aditya Sharma — have lost their lives following a targeted US precision military strike on the commercial oil tanker, M/T Settebello.

These men were not combatants. They were civilian mariners doing their jobs, caught in the crossfire of a geopolitical standoff.

I strongly support the Government of India's swift and firm response in calling out this unacceptable overreach. By summoning the US Chargé d'Affaires to lodge a strong protest and forcefully raising the matter at the United Nations, New Delhi has made it clear that Indian lives are not acceptable “collateral damage”.

While the US enforces its maritime blockade, it must cease and desist from targeting commercial civilian infrastructure and crews. A military strike on an engine room, knowing civilians are on board, is unjustifiable.
Global maritime forces have plenty of non-lethal methods to intercept, redirect, or board non-compliant vessels. Resorting to missile strikes that kill civilian crews must stop immediately. Freedom of navigation must apply to the safety of the sailors who power global trade. I hope india firmly demands this of its US interlocutors since practically every ship in those waters carries Indian crew.

Our deepest prayers are with the bereaved families. We stand with you. 🕉️ शांति!

EAM @DrSJaishankar ji in conversation with @sreeramchaulia on India's foreign policy transformation over 12 years of PM Modi's leadership.

From strategic autonomy & multi-alignment to navigating great power dynamics, middle power partnerships, neighbourhood priorities, and economic diplomacy - a must-watch on how Bharat is reshaping its global role.

Pakistan Army may be planning to use draconian force against civilians across Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (PoK) hence they have banned entry of tourists in PoK, started banning Internet use in Neelum Valley and major areas across PoK. Civilian group protesting banned as terror org.

[Gaurav Dalmia @gdalmiathinks]

Very topical.

A century as far as Ramsar sites are concerned!

Glad that the Jai Prakash Narayan Bird Sanctuary (Surha Tal) in Ballia, Uttar Pradesh has been designated as India’s 100th Ramsar site. This wetland is rich in avifaunal biodiversity, attracting several migratory and resident birds.

India’s unwavering commitment to protecting our natural surroundings and wetlands in particular is clearly reflected in this feat.

Over the years, efforts to conserve and rejuvenate wetlands have been strengthened through greater community participation, science, innovation and awareness initiatives. These endeavours are helping preserve biodiversity, secure ecological balance and create a greener future for coming generations.

Once was so nice, they did it twice. What a campaign by "Attacking Champions" RCB. A near perfect campaign and the trophy is in right hands of Captain Rajat Patidar. Special mention to Virat Kohli for that knock - Matter bada tha, Isliye wahan King khada tha.

After meeting with Modi, Rubio posts on X that "India has committed to purchasing $500 billion in U.S. goods over the next five years." This is a reminder that Washington's weaponized trade diplomacy under Trump is in many ways more coercive than even China’s much-criticized “debt-trap diplomacy.”

Trade has become a blunt U.S. instrument of economic coercion. Trump’s heavy-handed approach to economic extraction is eroding U.S. alliances and strategic partnerships on which American power ultimately depends. https://t.co/sxkUTI1SNC
