Washington, June 30. The US Ambassador to India, Sergio Gore, stated that President Donald Trump considers Prime Minister Narendra Modi a friend and is fully prepared to strengthen relations with India.

He described the personal rapport between the two leaders as essential for advancing bilateral relations. At the US-India Strategic Partnership Forum (USISPF) Leadership Summit, Ambassador Gore mentioned that President Trump holds India in high regard and often talks about his experiences in the country. Gore stated that the US wants to work together with India and cares about this relationship.

He noted that the president is very concerned about this relationship. He recalled spending nearly two hours with the president just before the weekend in Washington, D.C., and mentioned that the president was very happy with what he saw in India. The president has very fond memories of his last visit, which he often talks about.

Ambassador Gore expressed hope that President Trump would return to India during his second term. He mentioned that he hopes the president will visit India to meet with them at some point. Highlighting the close personal relationship between the two leaders, Gore recalled an incident from a recent Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) event in Miami, where the president suggested calling the prime minister.

Gore noted that the president believed the prime minister would be awake, saying, 'He will get up. He is like me.' Although the call was scheduled for the next day, Gore stated that this incident reflects the nature of the relationship between Trump and PM Modi. Gore emphasized that the relationship between the two leaders has been beneficial for the larger strategic partnership since Trump's first term.

He stated that both governments are focused on delivering tangible results in trade, investment, defense, and technology. The US wants to work together with India. He mentioned that the next two years will be crucial for building mutual relations for decades to come.

Ambassador Gore stated that these next two years will set the path for the relationship for many decades. Therefore, everyone involved should consider it a long-term project. This is not just a one or two-year endeavor; what we are sowing now will support us for decades.

Gore remarked that for all those experts who tweet online and claim that this relationship is in trouble, when you look at the reality of this relationship, whether in trade, defense, or people-to-people ties, it stands strong. He stated that both governments are committed to enhancing cooperation in almost every major area. During the past six months, when he was in India, he witnessed tremendous potential across all sectors.

There is not a day that goes by without something new emerging for collaboration between our two countries. In any field you name, the US and India can work together and take it to great heights. Whether it is AI, technology, or defense, there are immense possibilities.

Since Trump's first term, a close working relationship has developed between Trump and PM Modi, identified by high-profile events like 'Howdy Modi' in Houston in 2019 and 'Namaste Trump' in Ahmedabad in 2020. Officials from both countries have often mentioned their personal rapport, which has helped advance cooperation in defense, trade, technology, and Indo-Pacific security.

Washington, June 29. The American news website 'Axios' has claimed, citing a senior US official, that the US and Iran have agreed to halt attacks on each other.

'Axios' stated that both parties are expected to meet in Doha, the capital of Qatar, on Tuesday. They will discuss resolving their disputes and differences regarding the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial route for oil supply. According to 'Axios', the official mentioned that both parties are planning to meet in Doha on Tuesday to resolve their dispute over the Strait of Hormuz.

The Doha talks are expected to include the head of the US technical team, Nick Stewart. The official stated that they have decided to halt all forms of military action. Another US official mentioned that both parties will currently withdraw and ships will be able to move freely as technical discussions continue.

Both US officials and a third source familiar with the matter confirmed the meeting scheduled for Tuesday. Initially, this meeting was proposed to be held in Switzerland to discuss Iran's nuclear program, but after recent military confrontations, its location was changed to Doha. Now, the agenda of the meeting has been limited to issues related to the Strait of Hormuz.

The White House has not yet made any official comment on the proposed talks. Notably, the Strait of Hormuz has emerged as the biggest challenge in implementing the agreement between the two countries. Iran had promised to facilitate the safe passage of commercial vessels through Hormuz.

In return, the US had lifted the blockade on Iranian ports. Last week, during talks in Switzerland, both parties also agreed to establish a hotline. According to Arab News, Mehdi Fazaili, a member of the publication office of Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, stated on Sunday to state television that Iran did not participate in the technical talks on Sunday due to attacks on the country and the failure to meet the terms of the agreement with the US.

Tehran, June 23. Iran's Parliament Speaker M.B. Ghalibaf has made it clear that the administration of the Hormuz Strait will never return to the pre-war situation.

After returning from technical talks with the United States in Switzerland, Ghalibaf emphasized that the management of this strategic maritime route will remain entirely under Iran's control while adhering to international regulations. He described the talks in Switzerland as a diplomatic victory for Iran, claiming that due to Iran's pressure, the U.S. was forced to change its social media posts related to Lebanon and regional proxy groups. He also stated that Iran's participation played a crucial role in avoiding widespread conflict in the region and preventing large-scale bloodshed in Lebanon.

Ghalibaf clarified that Tehran has never trusted the U.S. and will not do so in the future. He mentioned that during the discussions in Switzerland, an agreement was reached on releasing Iran's frozen funds and easing oil sanctions. He concluded by calling for the country to remain united under the leadership of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Sayyid Mujtaba Khamenei.

The announcement by U.S. President Donald Trump regarding the completion of the deal with Iran has sparked a significant debate in global diplomatic circles. Trump is describing it as a major diplomatic success and a 'fantastic deal,' while official representatives from the U.S. and Iran are referring to it merely as a 'Memorandum of Understanding' (MOU).

These contradictory statements have created confusion worldwide about whether this is truly a nuclear agreement or just an initial step towards peace. Experts believe that Trump's aggressive and diplomatic style indicates he is presenting this agreement as a significant success to highlight his 'deal-maker' persona. However, there are also contradictions in his approach; on one hand, he talks about peace and opening the Strait of Hormuz, while on the other hand, he has issued a stern warning to Iran regarding military action.

This diplomatic ambiguity has become a topic of discussion among analysts about whether it is a calculated political maneuver. Although both countries have agreed to negotiate sensitive issues such as the nuclear program and uranium stockpile in the next 60 days, many critical issues remain unresolved on the ground.

It would be premature to label this as a final peace agreement or a complete nuclear deal. The international community is now closely watching what solutions the upcoming negotiations will provide for these unresolved issues.

A significant diplomatic victory has been achieved in the direction of ending decades-long nuclear tensions in the Middle East. U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have made it clear that they will not allow Iran to develop nuclear weapons.

Trump has announced that a 'framework agreement' has been prepared with Iran, which will permanently curb Tehran's nuclear programs. Netanyahu reiterated in his address that he has been leading an international campaign against Iran's nuclear threats for the past three decades. He firmly stated that as long as he is in power, Iran will not become a nuclear power.

Netanyahu expressed full agreement with President Trump on achieving this strategic goal, deeming it essential for Israel's security. According to the White House, Iran's supreme leader has also expressed his agreement to this arrangement.

After military pressure and extensive discussions with regional countries—Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, and Bahrain—a detailed Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) has been prepared. Formal signing of this agreement is expected in Europe by the end of this week, which will not only ensure Israel's security but also usher in a new era of stability across the Gulf region.

Sands Resorts Macao joins the 13th Annual MILT Congress as Platinum Partner, for the 7th year in a row signalling a decisive commitment to India’s fast-accelerating MICE and luxury travel market.

U.S. President Donald Trump has called for an immediate ceasefire to halt the escalating conflict between Israel and Iran. Trump clarified on social media that both countries are willing to stop the conflict and peace talks are ongoing.

He warned that the U.S. blockade on Iranian ports will remain in place until a final agreement is reached, and foolish obstacles should not affect the peace process. Tensions in the Middle East have reached a peak following direct clashes that began on Sunday. Israel claims that Iran launched approximately 30 ballistic missiles, to which Israel responded with precise attacks on Iranian military bases and petrochemical plants on Monday morning.

Iranian officials have described this as a strategic warning from the 'Axis of Resistance,' stating that the dynamics of the region have completely changed following this attack. In light of this tense situation, the Indian government has issued a strict advisory for its citizens in Iran.

The Indian Embassy has advised citizens not to travel to Iran and to leave the country immediately using available means of transport. The embassy has urged Indian citizens to remain extremely vigilant and to follow the embassy's instructions, considering the recent developments and security concerns in the region.

Washington, June 6. U.S. President Donald Trump stated that no final agreement has been reached yet to end the ongoing war with Iran, as the Iranian leadership is 'strong' and 'proud', but ultimately they will have no option but to agree.

Trump made these remarks in an interview with NBC News, indicating that while Iran is strong and filled with pride, they will have to do things they never thought they would have to do. He noted that they have no options, although it may take some time. Trump's comments come as negotiations to end the war between the U.S. and Iran have entered their fourth month.

The ceasefire established in April is still holding, but diplomatic deadlock remains between the two countries. Recently, tensions have escalated due to military actions by both sides around the Strait of Hormuz, threatening the ceasefire. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio informed Congress members that the military operation conducted by the Trump administration, named 'Operation Epic Fury', has concluded.

He stated that the recent U.S. military actions were entirely defensive and were in response to Iranian attacks on ships near the Strait of Hormuz. Rubio emphasized that to protect their forces, they target not only drones but also those who launch them. He stated that if they do not attack ships, they will not take action, but responding is a necessity.

Trump and his Republican administration have consistently claimed that military actions against Iran, in collaboration with Israel, were necessary to halt its nuclear and ballistic missile programs. According to U.S. assessments, damage has been inflicted on Iran's nuclear and missile infrastructure, but its large stockpile of highly enriched uranium and thousands of drones and missiles still maintain its military capability. The war has led to a significant increase in oil and gas prices in global and U.S. markets.

Disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz have increased pressure on the U.S. to end the conflict. Trump also targeted critics who demand a quick agreement, stating that resolving such matters takes years. He remarked that these individuals have been fighting for 47 years and have continued to kill Americans.

He noted that many U.S. soldiers have been seriously injured due to the Iranian leadership, and this conflict has been ongoing for a long time. Trump compared the duration of the conflict to the Vietnam War, stating that he is moving very quickly and that it has only been three months. The Vietnam War lasted 19 years, and people are asking him when victory will come.

Trump reiterated that the U.S. has inflicted significant damage on Iran's military capabilities, claiming that they have destroyed most of their drone factories, launching pads, and missile production centers. He estimated that Iran retains about 21 to 22 percent of its original missile capability.

Trump acknowledged that this number is still significant but is much lower compared to the time when the war began. Recent attacks by Iran in the Persian Gulf region, targeting Kuwait International Airport and U.S. ships in the Oman Sea, indicate that Tehran still possesses effective drone and missile capabilities.

Russia, June 6. Russian President Vladimir Putin has strongly supported India's independent foreign policy and sovereignty on the international stage.

During the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF 26), Putin stated that India has never paid attention to orders or foreign 'decrees' received from outside its borders. Regarding sovereignty, President Putin emphasized that no questions can be raised about any country's sovereignty and its ability to make independent decisions. He further stated that naturally, India has never followed any orders that came from abroad.

Putin also added that attempts to pressure a reliable partner like India are completely 'futile', as India will not bow to the pressures of Western countries. Putin praised not only India's diplomatic strength but also acknowledged India's contributions on the economic front. He mentioned that India is now a significant partner in the global IT industry and one of the largest players worldwide.

Discussing the economic sanctions imposed by Western countries, Putin claimed that the strategy to isolate Russia has failed. He stated that Russia maintains strong relations with countries around the world and will continue to work on cross-border projects, roads, and railways. Putin also remarked that Americans are quite practical; they continue to cooperate but only where it benefits them.

This statement from Putin is seen as a direct response to U.S. President Donald Trump's pressure on India to reduce trade relations with Moscow. Speaking on the economic platform of BRICS versus G7, Putin also claimed that BRICS countries have now surpassed G7 countries on the economic front. He expressed confidence that Russia will remain attractive to foreign investors and that Moscow will continue to work with its partners and neighbors.

Amid rising tensions between the US and Iran, the US Parliament has dealt a significant political blow to President Donald Trump. The lower house passed an important resolution on Wednesday that limits the president's military action powers.

Passed by a narrow margin of 215-208, the main aim of this resolution is to prevent any military intervention against Iran without parliamentary approval. The division seen within the Republican camp poses a particular challenge for President Trump, as several members of his own party have supported the Democrats, rising above party politics. The actions of Republican lawmakers such as Thomas Massie, Brian Fitzpatrick, Tom Barrett, and Warren Davidson have put the administration on the back foot.

Speaker of the House Mike Johnson's attempts to block this resolution have failed, deepening the ongoing confrontation between the White House and Parliament. The opposition emphasizes constitutional responsibilities, stating that this step was taken to restore constitutional 'checks and balances'.

However, President Trump has the veto power, which allows him to block this bill, but this voting has made it clear that there is significant discontent in the legislature regarding the administration's policies. This development has not only sparked a debate on foreign policy but also indicated potential impacts on upcoming political decisions.
