‘Tremendous support in India’: Netanyahu denies US being Israel’s only ally, counters JD Vance

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday said that the country enjoys “tremendous” support in India, as he reacted to claims made by US Vice President JD Vance who had said that the US was Israel’s “only powerful ally”. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu with PM Modi in February this year (X/@narendramodi) In an interview with Fox News, Netanyahu said: “We have some other friends, like a small country called India, you know, it has 1.4 billion people and, boy, do we have tremendous support there.” The Israeli Prime Minister also said that the country gets immense backing from India on Facebook. “You know, I have this Facebook thing, and I have overwhelming support there. I may have many others,” Netanyahu said. India and Israel enjoy a good relationship, and so do Netanyahu and Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Earlier this year, the Israeli PM referred to his Indian counterpart as a “personal friend” and called India a “global power”. PM Modi paid a state visit to Israel in February and had said that India stood with …

Trump pays Iran  bn? First peace deal-era funds transfer from USA’s Arab ally to Tehran reported

Trump pays Iran $3 bn? First peace deal-era funds transfer from USA’s Arab ally to Tehran reported

Published on Jun 15, 2026 11:54 pm IST Reports from Iranian media suggest that the first tranche of frozen Iranian assets may have already reached Tehran as diplomatic momentum continues to build around a potential U.S.-Iran agreement. According to Iranian outlet Khabar Fori, an initial transfer of approximately $3 billion arrived in Iran as part of a reported understanding involving the United Arab Emirates and Tehran. The report claims additional releases of Iranian assets could follow, potentially totaling between $10 billion and $20 billion. However, neither Washington nor Abu Dhabi has publicly confirmed the reported transfer, and the claims remain unverified. The reports have intensified speculation over sanctions relief, frozen assets and the broader economic implications of a possible diplomatic breakthrough.   Home / Videos / Trump pays Iran $3 bn?

US Ally attacked: Iran-linked groups’ direct message for Trump after America cuts off cash flow?

US Ally attacked: Iran-linked groups’ direct message for Trump after America cuts off cash flow?

Published on Apr 25, 2026 01:27 pm IST An attack on a U.S. ally, carried out by Iran‑linked groups, is being read as a direct message to Washington – and personally to Donald Trump – after America moved to choke off Tehran’s cash flows and oil revenues. In this video, we break down what happened on the ground, why this particular ally was hit, and how the strike fits into Iran’s wider strategy of using proxies to push back without triggering a full‑scale direct war. We’ll look at whether this was retaliation for U.S. sanctions, oil seizures, or financial pressure, and how it might reshape American security guarantees across the region.   Home / Videos / US Ally attacked: Iran-linked groups’ direct message for Trump after America cuts off cash flow?

After Iran attacks European nation’s base, another NATO ally abandons US, sides with Tehran?| Israel

Published on Mar 02, 2026 10:58 pm IST Tensions inside NATO are surfacing after France publicly criticized U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran, saying the action should have been debated at the United Nations first. French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot warned against unilateral escalation even as Iran retaliated across the region. The remarks came after a drone strike hit the RAF base at Akrotiri in Cyprus, prompting President Nikos Christodoulides to place the country on full alert while stressing non-involvement. The conflict erupted after strikes that reportedly killed Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, triggering missile and drone attacks across the Middle East.   News / Videos / After Iran attacks European nation’s base, another NATO ally abandons US, sides with Tehran?| Israel Disclaimer: We do not own any of the content, ideas, images, or text presented here.

India–US trade deal reaffirms what had started looking hazy: India’s role as US ally & China counter | Explained News

India–US trade deal reaffirms what had started looking hazy: India’s role as US ally & China counter | Explained News

3 min readNew DelhiUpdated: Feb 3, 2026 01:39 AM IST India–US trade deal announced: The steep cut in US tariffs to 18 per cent from 50 per cent under the trade deal has reinforced what was always believed in New Delhi but had begun looking hazy — that the US sees in India an ally and counterweight to China as it seeks to rewrite the norms of the global trade order. Prima facie, an 18 per cent headline tariff places India in a reasonably good position against competitors in terms of accessing the American market, but the fine print of the deal would really hold the key to how favourable it is from New Delhi’s perspective. India’s deal with the European Union (EU), for instance, was well-negotiated and strived to balance the concerns on both sides, but US President Donald Trump’s negotiation strategy is typically extractive. A convergence between the two countries on the reciprocal tariff was achieved over the last week, with a number of ‘sticky issues’ having been addressed. Crucial among those is …

In ‘Bharat Ratna for Nitish’ chorus, ‘unusual’ backing from NDA ally and Tej Pratap’s Lalu twist| India News

After Janata Dal (United) leader KC Tyagi proposed Bharat Ratna to be conferred on Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, several leaders from the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), of which Kumar’s JD(U) is a key part, have came out in support of the request. File photo of Chirag Paswan, Nitish Kumar and Tej Pratap Yadav. (PTI) The call for India’s highest civilian honour for the longest-serving Bihar CM has also found unexpected backing from one of Lalu Prasad Yadav’s son, with a condition attached. The ruffle in Bihar politics — dormant since the assembly elections in November except for a row after Nitish Kumar pulled down a Muslim woman’s face covering or niqab (also called hijab in some reports) — gathered pace after JD(U) MP KC Tyagi wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the Bharat Ratna for Nitish Kumar. Tyagi called Kumar a “precious gem” of the socialist movement. Also Read: Bharat Ratna for Nitish?
