US-Israel strike hits building linked to Iran’s Supreme Leader selection panel

New Delhi: Israel on Tuesday carried out an airstrike on a building in Qom that houses Iran’s Council of Experts, according to an Israeli defence official cited by various media reports.

An Israeli official reportedly said the goal was…

US Diplomat reveals why Iran was targeted: ‘460 kg of uranium, enough for 11 bombs’

New Delhi: The joint US-Israel attack on Iran came after Tehran insisted it had the “inalienable right” to enrich uranium. US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff told Fox News that Iran had secretly stockpiled 460 kg of uranium enriched to 60%, enough for about 11 nuclear bombs. “The Iranians told us directly… they could make 11 nuclear bombs,” Witkoff said. He added that talks in Geneva had failed because Iran was determined to continue its nuclear and ballistic missile programs while supporting military groups like Hezbollah. What the US and Israel wanted? Witkoff said the US sought three main goals in…

IAEA confirms damage at Iran’s Natanz nuclear site amid ardent strikes by Israel and US

Tehran: The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has confirmed structural damage at Iran’s nuclear site in Natanz, following a review of the most recent satellite images. The UN nuclear watchdog said the damage appears to affect buildings at the facility’s entrance, Aljazeera reported. In a statement, the agency said there were no signs of radiation leaks and no further impact on the main underground enrichment plant. It noted that the facility had already suffered heavy damage during last year’s 12-day conflict, when Israel launched strikes against Iran. The United States also carried out attacks during that period, targeting Natanz and…

Iran struck by 4.3 magnitude earthquake, epicenter in Gerash city amid conflict with US-Israel

Tehran: An earthquake of 4.3 magnitude struck near the city of Gerash in southern Iran on Tuesday, according to the United States Geological Survey. The quake occurred at a shallow depth of around 10 km and is typical of natural tectonic activity in the seismically active region. Seismically, this is consistent with natural tectonic activity in southern Iran, which sits along the active Zagros fault system, where shallow quakes are common. However, the timing, during the ongoing US military campaign known as Operation Epic Fury, has drawn attention to the quake’s geographic proximity to several sensitive Iranian sites. The tremor comes amid…

Mysterious earthquake swarm hits Nevada, most-secret base in US used for nuclear testing

Reno (Nevada): A series of mysterious earthquakes were reported near one of America's most secretive bases used for nuclear testing. In the last few days, the US Geological Survey (USGS) has detected 16 moderate tremors, all stronger than 2.5 in magnitude, in the vicinity of Tonopah Test Range in Nevada, better known as 'Area 52.' It should be noted that both Area 52 and its more famous neighbor, Area 51, sit on a massive complex just north of Las Vegas called the Nevada Test and Training Range (NTTR). US military carried out experimental aircraft testing in this remote area It…

Earthquake of 6.1 magnitude strikes off Indonesia’s Sumatra island, tremors felt across the country

Jakarta: A massive earthquake pof 6.1 magnitude struck off Indonesia’s Sumatra island on Tuesday, according to the United States Geological Survey (USGS). The tremor has hit in waters near Sumatra, a region that frequently experiences seismic activity due to its location along the Pacific “Ring of Fire,” where several tectonic plates converge. However, there were no immediate reports of casualties or damage. It should be noted that Indonesia is part of the Pacific “Ring of Fire,” a region known for frequent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, making it particularly vulnerable to seismic events. Moreover, Indonesia’s Sumatra region lies along a major…
