Iran’s nuclear journey has been long and tortuous. It began under the Shah’s regime in the 1950s to become a symbol of scientific progress and a source of nationalist pride.
Iranian armed forces target Al-Udeid Airbase in Qatar. US air defence system is reported to have been activated at Ain Al-Assad Airbase in Western Iraq as well.
While the strait has never been closed in the past, there has also never been a situation where both Israel and the US have directly attacked Iranian nuclear installations.
US hit Fordow with 30,000-pound bunker bombs, while it fired tomahawk missiles at Natanz & Isfahan. A US official said the strikes were complete & no follow-up attacks were expected.
The world needs leaders awake to the abyss that lies ahead of this Israel-Iran war. But there are no signs of any, not in Tehran or Tel Aviv, nor in Washington.
Joint statement says diplomacy only viable path to resolving crises in region. Israel is only Middle East country that hasn't signed the treaty. Iran is a signatory but threatens to withdraw.
An Iranian general claimed Pakistan would launch a nuclear attack on Israel if it hit Iran with a nuclear bomb, even as a confrontation between Tehran & Tel Aviv 4th its fourth day.
General MM Naravane’s memoir—Four Stars of Destiny—reveals that he was left hanging by political leadership for more than two hours as Chinese tanks drove towards Indian positions.
The key to fighting a war successfully, or even launching it, is a clear objective. That’s an entirely political call. It isn’t emotional or purely military.
