Pakistan hints at cutting fuel prices after US-Iran deal, eases Middle East tensions | World News

2 min readJun 18, 2026 10:00 PM IST Pakistan’s Petroleum Minister Ali Pervaiz Malik on Wednesday hinted that the government is considering reducing fuel prices following the announcement of a peace agreement between the United States and Iran. Speaking to Geo News, Malik said the government would “bring good news regarding a reduction in petroleum prices” after the two countries agreed on a framework to end hostilities. He added that Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif had previously assured the public that any fall in global oil prices would be passed on to consumers. The US and Iran have agreed to a peace deal, which they plan to formalise by Friday, June 19, 2026. Both countries have committed to concluding a final agreement upon signing a 14-point Memorandum of Understanding. The accord is aimed at halting the US blockade of Iran and reopening the Strait of Hormuz, a critical chokepoint for global oil and gas supplies. The conflict began on February 28, 2026, when US and Israeli forces struck Iran. The announcement sent oil prices sharply lower. …

Monsoon stalled, south and east UP brace for heatwave spell | Lucknow News

4 min readLucknowJun 17, 2026 05:00 AM IST With the monsoon yet to reach Uttar Pradesh, the state is likely to witness another spell of heatwave conditions over the coming days as temperatures continue to soar across several districts, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD). The Met’s report on Tuesday showed a significant rise in daytime temperatures across parts of eastern UP. Banda recorded maximum temperature of 43.4 degrees Celsius on Monday, while Prayagraj touched 44°C, figuring among the hottest cities in the country. Meteorologists attributed the heat wave to a lack of significant cloud cover. “At present, there is no major weather system influencing Uttar Pradesh. In the absence of significant cloud cover, daytime radiative heating is taking place, leading to a rise in temperatures,” said IMD scientist Atul Kumar Singh. He said temperatures in parts of southern and eastern Uttar Pradesh are climatologically high during this period because the region falls within one of the country’s peak heating zones when the sun is positioned near the Tropic of Cancer. According to him, …

How first-ever world championships will fuel yogasana’s growth curve in the Middle East?

How first-ever world championships will fuel yogasana’s growth curve in the Middle East?

When the inaugural World Yogasana Championships concluded at the EKA Arena in Ahmedabad earlier this week, India, with a century of gold medals, reinforced its dominance in a sport rooted in its ancient traditions. But beyond the medal table, another trend quietly emerged: the growing embrace of Yogasana across the Middle East. For a region where yoga has traditionally been associated more with wellness centres and fitness studios than competitive sport, the participation of countries such as Oman, Jordan, Iran and the United Arab Emirates at the first-ever World Yogasana Championships offered evidence that Yogasana is beginning to develop a sporting ecosystem of its own. The numbers tell part of the story. Oman finished with 21 medals, including 8 silver and 13 bronze medals, making it the most successful Gulf nation at the championships. Jordan claimed two bronze medals, while athletes from Iran and the UAE gained crucial exposure in an elite international competition. Yet officials and athletes believe the significance of Ahmedabad extends far beyond the medals won. The championships brought together 522 athletes …

The cult hero who ended East Bengal’s 22-year wait

The cult hero who ended East Bengal’s 22-year wait

When Youssef Ezzejjari signed with East Bengal FC, the Red & Gold faithful were cautiously optimistic. They had seen marquee strikers arrive in the City of Joy before, only to crumble under the crushing weight of expectation. Turns out, the footballing gods were on their side this time! As Emami East Bengal ended their agonizing wait to claim the Indian Super League title, the Spaniard who also represented Morocco at youth level, emerged not just as the top goal-scorer, but as the pulsating heart of a historic resurgence. “I cannot describe the emotions after that final whistle on the final day. We had a few intense weeks, but then the way we bounced back in the last game against Inter-Kashi was commendable. And the celebration after that with the fans, and in the locker room with the staff was simply amazing,” Youssef recalled in an exclusive conversation with The Bridge. That he would become a cult hero so soon was something not even he had imagined. “Since day one, the moment you arrive, you realise …

East Bengal win maiden ISL title

Tears flowed, the Red and Goldscarves swirled in the air and decades of pain disappeared into one unforgettable night as East Bengal finally reclaimed their place at the summit of Indian football. Twenty-two long years after their last national league triumph, the Red-and-Gold Brigade were crowned champions of India after defeating Inter Kashi 2-1 in a nerve-shredding Indian Super League 2025-26 finale at the Kishore Bharati Krirangan on Thursday. When the final whistle blew, the stadium erupted into scenes of pure emotion.

East Bengal edge out Mohun Bagan to maiden ISL title in dramatic final day

East Bengal edge out Mohun Bagan to maiden ISL title in dramatic final day

It was April 2004. Bhaichung Bhutia, Douglas da Silva and Dipankar Roy were on the scoresheet the last time East Bengal confirmed a national league title for themselves. The National Football League was the top flight of Indian football at the time, and this was East Bengal’s third time winning it in four seasons, apart from successfully defending the title that year. Their next league title came on Thursday, after a gap of 22 long years, and it came thanks to goals from a Spaniard and a Palestinian. East Bengal were in pole position to win, with the closest challengers being rivals Mohun Bagan Super Giant. Punjab FC and Mumbai City FC, the next two contenders, were up against each other at the JLN Stadium in New Delhi. Jamshedpur FC were facing Odisha FC at home and needed a miracle to win the title. *** The deadlock broke in the 15th minute, but not in the manner that one would’ve expected. Alfred turned in a long ball from inside the Inter Kashi half for the …

Esports World Cup 2026 moves to Paris from Saudi Arabia amid Middle East war escalation

3 min readMay 21, 2026 11:57 AM IST Amid rising tensions in the Middle East following an escalation into full-blown war involving Iran, Israel, and the United States, the Esports World Cup (EWC) 2026, which was originally scheduled to take place in Saudi Arabia, has been relocated to France. The tournament will now be held in the French capital, Paris, instead of Riyadh, the Saudi capital. The competition is set to run from July 6 to August 23.

Mohun Bagan Super Giant, East Bengal, Punjab FC, Mumbai City vie for title on final day of troubled season

Mohun Bagan Super Giant, East Bengal, Punjab FC, Mumbai City vie for title on final day of troubled season

4 min readNew DelhiUpdated: May 20, 2026 09:44 PM IST Half of the eight teams in the Indian Super League are in contention for the title going into the last four matches that are set to take place on Thursday. It is a thrilling finale to a season that many thought may never take place a couple of months ago but also one that is a product of the many problems that led to its delay and truncated format. That the title race has come down to the last day isn’t too surprising. With each team playing only a maximum of 13 matches, as opposed to 24 last season, the number of games have reduced by 11 and the number of participating teams has increased by one. Normally, the clear contenders for the ISL Shield, which is what is normally awarded to teams that top the league table, emerged only after teams had played about eight to 10 games a season, if not more. This year, they had just a handful of games left to …
