Many of us had warned this would happen — an attack on Iran would spark a regional war. In June 2025, Iran’s controlled escalation targeted only Israel in retaliation. This time, Iran has regionalised its retaliation, with two key objectives — inflict maximum damage on the U.S.

THE US SECRETARY OF DEFENSE - PETE HEGSETH: • Wrote a book literally called 'American Crusade' — calling for a modern-day holy war against Muslims • Wrote that Islam 'is not a religion of peace, and it never has been' • Was reported to have repeatedly chanted 'Kill All

After more than 36 hours, Indian Navy has finally said it received information from Colombo about the Iris Dena’s distress call, and also sent a vessel to assist in the Sri Lankan search operations. Great, well done, but why so loathe to come out with this information yesterday?

For this relief, much thanks. thehindu.com/news/national/…

SOURCES : Days before the IRIS DENA incident south of Sri Lanka, India was approached by Iran to take in the Iranian Ship IRIS LAVAN, which was also in the region for the International Fleet Review. This request was received on 28 February 2026, indicating that a docking at

The Economist claims the U.S.-Israel invasion of #Iran is "a stunning operational success". I am sure nobody is surprised by the report. But, let's say, that's one way of looking at it. There is no military parity between Iran, a country that has lived under economic sanctions

There is a chapter on Iran in #OriginalSin, which opens in Tehran. This passage is from the chapter: For Ashraf, the only significance of the Azadi Square was its role in the revolution. But he was quite proud of the Milad Tower, the tallest tower in Iran, which was built by

This is a photo of US soldiers at RAF Fairford. They are loading bombs due to be dropped on Iran. Does this look "defensive" to you? Britain is knee deep in this illegal war.

This is insanity. The Supreme Court has no such powers. I hope responsible legislators, chief ministers, newspaper editors, and other citizens speak out against the Chief Justice behaving in such a despotic manner, going far beyond the powers vested under the Constitution.

This order is patently beyond the powers of the Chief Justice of India or any SC bench under the Constitution and any extant law. In my view, corruption in the broad and narrow terms not only in judicial pillar of our democracy but in the entire polity, including the political

Justice Atul Sreedharan continues to discharge his functions as a judge without fear or favour. In a matter relating to Namaz offered inside a private house in Bareilly, the Bench headed by Justice Sreedharan has ordered 24×7 armed police protection for the owner of the house.

I was just wondering whether a judicial ordercan amount to a 'Bill of Attainder', a term associated with legislation tainting individuals with criminality, and considered a violation of natural justice and the rule of law. This post is a precise exposition on this.

Impeccable strategy.

Sobering bit of history. There is a precedent for someone who was disqualified from polls for six years for corrupt pratices; but headed a political party, and went on to become a Congress CM and later a Governor: Marri Channa Reddy.

Government revokes detention of climate activist Sonam Wangchuk under NSA

I am utterly disgusted and deeply alarmed by what is unfolding. If the National Security Act, a law meant exclusively for genuine threats to the nation, can be slapped on someone one day and arbitrarily revoked the next at the government’s convenience, then the NSA itself

I was reflecting on the contrasts with China that the sorry, shabby Loomer episode illustrates. The contrast I refer to is not about openness versus control. It is about attitudes toward hierarchy and self-respect in public life. What Kissinger noticed in 1971 about India was
