3 min readWashington DcUpdated: Jun 5, 2026 03:47 PM IST US President Donald Trump has declared that if Iran kills American military personnel, it would constitute “a very good reason” to restart full-scale military conflict with the Iranian regime. Speaking to reporters at the White House on Thursday, Trump established what he termed a clear “red line” in the ongoing tensions with Iran. When directly asked whether the killing of American troops would trigger renewed military action, the US President confirmed that such an event would justify resuming the war.

Delhi police barricade the fire spot where fire broke out yesterday morning, at Hauz Rani in New Delhi. (Raj K Raj/HT) On May 27, the government proposed a new fire safety framework, under which building owners can obtain fire clearances through private fire auditors – they will be empaneled, said the policy – rather than relying solely on inspections by Delhi Fire Services (DFS).
