Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has strongly criticized the ongoing military strikes against Iran, describing the escalation in the Middle East as a “disaster” and warning that the world cannot risk repeating the mistakes of history. His remarks come shortly after a trade threat was issued to Spain in response to Madrid’s refusal to allow two jointly operated military bases on Spanish territory to be used in the strikes.

Tensions between Israel and Iran intensified on Wednesday after a senior Iranian military spokesperson warned that any attack on Iran’s embassy in Beirut could trigger retaliatory strikes against Israeli diplomatic missions worldwide. The statement reflects growing hostility between the two regional rivals as security concerns continue to rise across West Asia.

Recent figures from th

The United States has reportedly suffered nearly $2 billion in military equipment losses during the first four days of escalating hostilities with Iran following a joint US–Israel military campaign.

This move comes as India faces severe supply disruptions, particularly after Iranian attacks targeted vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, a critical oil route that handles 40% of India's crude imports. The current geopolitical tensions have left India vulnerable, as its crude stocks cover only about 25 days of demand, and inventories of refined products like gasoline, g

Mojtaba, the second-eldest son of Ali Khamenei, has been long speculated as a potential successo

Defence ministry sources say the proposal from the Indian Air Force will soon be taken up fo
