The image, posted with the caption “The End,” quickly went viral across social media as Tehran continued rejecting Washington’s nuclear demands. The controversial post came as fragile ceasefire hopes hang by a thread and fears grow that stalled diplomacy could once again push the region toward a dangerous military escalation between Iran, Israel and the United States.   Home / Videos / Iran’s psychological warfare reaches peak bizarreness?

Coward movie review: Lukas Dhont delivers striking new trench warfare romance | Hollywood News

Published by Parlour News

5 min readCannesMay 22, 2026 12:51 PM IST Coward movie review: When you think of the war in the trenches during the first World War, the images that come to mind are that of mud trampled under a million boots, young soldiers hunkered down just below the enemy sightline in the cold and damp, never knowing when it will be their turn to die, the grim reaper never far away. When the tall, silent Pierre (Emmanuel Macchia) arrives at a Belgian front, the war has been on for some time, even if it isn’t specifically mentioned. He learns, quickly enough, that flinching doesn’t help when the instruction — the ones ‘who are still breathing’ out first — when it comes to lifting bloody bodies out of trucks. But that doesn’t mean that he gets used to it, unlike so many others who get desensitized to the horrors that surround them. Pierre finds himself drawn to Francis (Valentin Campagne), so different in his quick-silver, artistically-inclined ways from his (Pierre’s) rather stolid self. In one of their …

Last Updated:March 04, 2026, 15:08 IST Sheshnaag-150 is a long-range loitering munition, commonly referred to as a ‘suicide drone’ or ‘kamikaze drone’ The ‘150’ in Sheshnaag-150 is understood to represent the range at which the weapon can strike its target, i.e., 150 kilometers. (Facebook) As wars in West Asia and Europe prove the potential of cheap, long-range drones, India is quietly developing its arsenal of unmanned strike weapons. While the use of loitering weapons is at an all-time high in the ongoing wars involving Iran, Israel, and the US, India is quietly developing an indigenous version of the weapon, called Sheshnaag-150, which is a long-range drone designed to loiter before striking the target. This marks India’s entry into a new style of warfare, which is changing battlefields worldwide. It is the style of precision strikes, which are carried out by relatively cheap, expendable, and unmanned drones. What Is Sheshnaag-150?

(Image: MEA/PTI) Al Jazeera, a Qatar-backed influential media platform known for peddling Islamist propaganda, has carried out another hit job with its biased reporting aimed at discrediting India’s diplomatic engagement during Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s strategic visit to Israel. Its coverage is full of factual inaccuracies, misleading claims, and attempts to misrepresent India’s policies on Kashmir, Palestine, and international relations. In the run-up to Prime Minister Modi’s visit to Israel, Al Jazeera published an article titled “Kashmir, spying, demolitions: How Modi’s India embraced ‘Israel model’”. The timing and content of this piece make it clear that the article was designed to discredit India’s diplomatic engagement and cast the visit in a negative light. The article was published on 24 February 2026, just one day …

Table Tennis veteran Kamlesh Mehta suspended as secretary general in fresh wave of TTFI administrative warfare

Published by Webster

2 min readNew DelhiJan 30, 2026 12:28 AM IST The Table Tennis Federation of India has suspended its secretary, former player Kamlesh Mehta, throwing the faction-ridden federation into fresh administrative chaos. TTFI president Meghna Ahlawat, who is wife of former Haryana Deputy CM Dushyant Chautala, and secretary Mehta were representing different factions in the governing body after being elected back in December 2022 as part of a “compromise”. More recently, they were at loggerheads over the scheduling of the AGM that was eventually held on Wednesday when the secretary was suspended. Yatin Tipnis, representing the Maharashtra State Association, was nominated as the senior joint secretary in the TTFI AGM and would look after the day to day running of the federation now that secretary’s post is suspended. Earlier this month, an Emergency Special General Meeting (SGM) was convened by Kamlesh Mehta in Mumbai. In a letter dated 15 January, TTFI president Ahlawat declared the SGM called by Mehta as unconstitutional and invalid. “The post of senior joint secretary was vacant so I was nominated in …

Movie Review: ‘Warfare,’ a forensic portrait of combat, hunts war-movie clichés | Hollywood

Published by Parlour News

Ray Mendoza and Alex Garland ’s “Warfare” is more defined by what it isn’t than what it is. Movie Review: ‘Warfare,’ a forensic portrait of combat, hunts war-movie clichés In their Iraq War -set film, there’s never any description of a wider strategy. There are no backstories to the American Navy SEALs whom we follow on an unspectacular mission. There’s not a short monologue about mom’s cooking back home, let alone a speculative word about life after the war. There’s not even a dramatic close-up to be had. “Warfare” aspires to be, simply, just that. We are effectively embedded in a platoon on what seems to be a minor mission in Iraq in 2006. Walking in two single-file lines down a Ramadi street at night, one soldier says, “I like this house.” Under the cover of darkness, they rush inside the apartment building to set up their position while keeping the family inside quiet. In the morning, their sniper, laid out on a raised bed, sweats while looking out on an increasingly anxious scene. His …

Before Centineo takes on the role of Brian/Zawi, a gunner in the high-octane spectacle, we are revisiting his previous forays into action-packed cinema and how they fared at the box office. While the now 28-year-old actor rose to fame as Peter Kavinsky in Netflix’s To All The Boys franchise, he has since branched out into action roles, including Charlie’s Angels and Black Adam. In the former film, which came out in 2019, he played Langston, a charming love interest for one of the Angels. Directed by Elizabeth Banks, the reboot of the popular ’90s flick featured Kristen Stewart, Naomi Scott, and Ella Balinska as the new generation of Angels.
