A severe solar storm is approaching, raising concerns of extensive damage.

Image
  The Sun's internal thermal reactions have become so active that they have caused deep concern among scientists. The huge explosions on the Sun are called 'X-class solar flares', which are among the most powerful solar explosions. The source of these flares is a large and highly active dark spot on the Sun, a sunspot, which is currently facing Earth. On May 13, at 11:38 AM, a solar flare of magnitude X-1.2 was emitted from the Sun. The next day, a more powerful flare of magnitude X-2.7 was emitted from the same location. As a result, radio signals were cut off over large areas of North and South America, Europe, Africa, the Middle East and Southeast Asia. Effects and risks of solar storms Such solar eruptions, called 'coronal mass ejections', can have devastating consequences if they hit the Earth's magnetic field. Potential risks include: Satellite failure or permanent damage Power outage (including transformers) Mobile and internet outages Disruption to train...

Alia has been appointed as the head of the Punjab political committee by Imran Khan.

Image
  The founder of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and imprisoned former Prime Minister Imran Khan has appointed Alia Hamza as the head of the political committee in Punjab. It has been reported that Imran Khan, while incarcerated, expressed strong objections to the formation of a four-member political committee in Punjab. He instructed the PTI leadership to appoint Alia Hamza as the head of the political committee. Subsequently, in accordance with that directive, Alia Hamza was designated as the head of the political committee in Punjab. Previously, the political committee formed by PTI leaders included Salman Akram Raja, Omar Ayub Khan, and Usman Akram. The PTI leaders informed Imran Khan about the formation of this high-ranking committee, which was deemed to be of higher status than Alia Hamza. However, Imran Khan raised objections to this decision. Later, a message regarding Alia Hamza was sent to the PTI leadership through Senator Ali Zafar.

Israel has halted the training of female soldiers; what is the reason behind this?

Image
  The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have discontinued the training program for female soldiers. These trained soldiers were expected to serve in the 'Combat Mobility Unit'. Their primary responsibilities included supplying equipment to infantry forces in enemy territories and rehabilitating injured soldiers. This information was reported by the media outlet Jerusalem Post. On Thursday, May 29, IDF Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Yair Golan made this decision. This decision was made due to concerns regarding health and fitness. According to the IDF, the professional performance of the women participating in this training was as robust as that of their male counterparts. However, their levels of physical and combat fitness fell short of the necessary standards for their roles. The IDF further stated that medical data indicates that continuing the current training would not be advisable.

The Trump administration has issued a directive to suspend visa interviews for foreign students.

Image
  Since taking office for his second term, US President Donald Trump has been issuing decrees in the education sector one after another. On Tuesday, his administration issued another dire directive. In this, US embassies around the world have been asked to suspend student and exchange program (FMJ) visa interview schedules. The directive was given as part of preparations for the soon-to-be-introduced strict social media vetting process for foreign applicants. On the same day, the Trump administration decided to cancel all government financial agreements with Harvard University. According to these agreements, Harvard was supposed to receive about $100 million in funding. In a cable sent to embassies on the issue of interview suspension, the US State Department said that no additional student or exchange visitor visa appointments can be scheduled until further notice. The new directive could have a serious impact on US universities. The cable mentioned that the existing operations an...

What the ruling government is stating, is it opening the 'door for discussion' regarding Imran's release?

Image
  Pakistan's Defense Minister Khawaja Asif has termed the much-discussed 'give and take' proposal made by his sister Aleema Khan for the release of jailed former Prime Minister Imran Khan as 'worthy of consideration'. Appearing on Geo News' talk show Aaj Shahzeb Khanzada Ke Saath on Tuesday, Khawaja Asif said, 'Although Aleema's proposal is a weak attempt, it cannot be completely dismissed. The matter can be seen after investigation.' However, he immediately criticized the 'indecent' language and aggressive campaign against state institutions by PTI workers - especially those residing abroad. He alleged that 'the consent and support of the party's top leadership is behind all these campaigns.' Khawaja Asif also said that despite repeated calls for dialogue from the former ruling party, the party's statement and position are still unclear. Do they really want dialogue or are they just looking for a 'deal' to protect the...

Four individuals were killed in Gaza amid allegations of aid theft, according to statements made by Hamas.

Image
  Hamas-affiliated forces have executed four people accused of looting aid trucks that have recently begun entering Gaza. In the incident, an influential clan leader in southern Gaza has publicly challenged Hamas. This was claimed in a report published on Monday by Reuters. The British media reported, citing a source close to the incident, that the four were accused of involvement in an incident that took place last week. In the incident, six Gaza security personnel were killed in an Israeli air strike while protecting an aid truck. The source said, “The four criminals were involved in looting and are responsible for the deaths of members of the forces assigned to protect the aid.” A Hamas-affiliated front group that describes itself as a “Palestinian resistance organization” said that it is searching for seven more suspects. Israel partially eased its blockade of Gaza last week under international pressure. As a result, humanitarian aid has begun to enter Gaza for the first time i...

An unprecedented Russian attack in Ukraine, as stated by the Kremlin.

Image
  Moscow has spoken out about the unprecedented attacks that the Russian military has recently carried out across Ukraine, including the capital Kiev. The attacks are a response to attacks by Ukrainian forces on Russian civilian infrastructure and social facilities, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said. “We see that the Ukrainians are targeting our social infrastructure and civilian facilities. Our attacks are retaliatory and they are targeting only Ukrainian military facilities,” Peskov said at a press conference on Monday. Earlier on Sunday, Russia carried out precision missile and drone strikes on military targets in Ukrainian territory. Kiev has described the attack as unprecedented. However, the Russian Defense Ministry claims that it is a response to Ukrainian drone attacks. According to them, the targets of these attacks were Ukrainian missile and drone manufacturing factories, electronic intelligence centers and satellite communications centers. The ministry claimed that th...

After Trump referred to Putin as 'crazy', the Kremlin responded with a pointed remark.

Image
  US President Donald Trump recently called Putin a “crazy” over Russia’s recent attack on Ukraine. However, the Kremlin has slammed his response as an “emotional overreaction.” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters in Moscow on Monday that US President Donald Trump’s reaction to the latest Russian airstrikes in Ukraine was the result of “emotional overreaction.” Trump wrote on his Truth social media handle on Sunday that Russian President Vladimir Putin has “gone completely crazy” as Russia carried out airstrikes in Ukraine for the third consecutive night. Trump said, “I’ve always said that he (Putin) wants all of Ukraine, not just a part of it. Maybe that’s proving to be true. But if he (Putin) does that, it will lead to the downfall of Russia!” In a separate statement, the US president also said, “I’m not happy with what I’m seeing. I don’t know what’s wrong with him (Putin). What a disaster! They are killing so many people, I don’t like it at all.” Earlier, the Ukraini...

The Kashmiri Muslim family is oppressed. In India, simply having a beard and cap leads to being labeled a 'terrorist'.

Image
  In the region of Jammu and Kashmir administered by India, the Muslim community in Pahalgam is living in fear following a terrorist attack. Since that incident, their homes have been demolished, and they are facing harassment during their journeys. Moreover, they are subjected to abuse based solely on their clothing and physical appearance. The situation has escalated to the point where individuals in India are labeled as 'terrorists' simply for wearing a beard and cap. Furthermore, the media in the country portrays innocent individuals in such a manner that they appear to be the actual perpetrators of crimes. On Monday, a report by the BBC highlighted the story of one such victim. Farooq Ahmed, a resident of Jammu and Kashmir, hails from the town of Poonch in Kashmir. His brother, Mohammad Iqbal, was killed on May 7 during a conflict at the India-Pakistan border. Following his brother's death, Farooq Ahmed's family has had to endure extremely challenging circumstances...

The Belgian princess is also in trouble due to Trump's Harvard incident.

Image
  Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's daughter, Cleo Carney, and Princess Elisabeth of Belgium are also embroiled in an ongoing legal dispute between Harvard University and the administration of US President Donald Trump. The Trump administration has recently decided to revoke the admission of foreign students to Harvard University. Harvard University filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration on May 23. The case challenges the administration's decision. Harvard authorities say that the decision violates the First Amendment of the US Constitution and will have an "immediate and devastating" impact on their 7,000 international students. A US judge has then temporarily suspended the decision and issued a "restraining order" so that the students are not immediately affected. However, if the Trump administration's decision is upheld, Harvard will not be able to admit international students for the next two years. And those currently enrolled may have...

Netanyahu expresses concern over Trump's policies, is Israel becoming isolated?

Image
  President Donald Trump, a much-discussed figure in US politics, has returned to the world stage with his own strategic acumen. However, his return this time is a little different, a little more gray. Although he visited Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar during his recent Middle East tour, he did not visit Israel. Trump's neglect of Israel is not just a diplomatic blunder, but a deep political signal. The way Trump pursued a pro-Israel foreign policy during his previous term—moving the embassy to Jerusalem, recognizing the Golan Heights as 'Israeli territory'—all of these are in stark contrast to Trump's current administration. Although Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar were prominently featured in Trump's recent Middle East tour, the occupying power Israel was left out of the list. And this was one of the most discussed steps that gave rise to several national concerns and analyses. Neglect or strategic distance? Trump, however, sai...

Ceasefire request came from India: Pakistan Army

Image
  The Pakistan Army has said that it was not they, but India, who proposed the ceasefire amid the recent tensions. The country's Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Director General (DG) Lt. Gen. Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry said that New Delhi made the request through US mediation. He said that a conflict between the two nuclear-armed countries would have dire consequences for the entire region. At a press conference, he said that it was a conflict that could have affected the lives of 1.6 billion people. Pakistan acted responsibly and maturely. He said that those who want war do so only to fulfill their own interests. Peace is good for both countries. Those who are behind the war have narrow political interests in mind. Position on Kashmir The DG ISPR said that Kashmir is an internationally recognized dispute and it should be resolved based on the UN Charter and the will of the Kashmiris. He said that even though India is trying to present it as an internal matter, it is still an int...

Image
  Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has visited Saudi Arabia and Qatar ahead of the fourth round of indirect nuclear talks with the United States in Oman, which are scheduled to take place on Sunday. Al Jazeera reported on Saturday (May 10). The future course of Iran's nuclear program, uranium enrichment and the lifting of sanctions are among the topics discussed. In a statement in Doha on Saturday, Araghchi said that if the United States' goal is to take away our nuclear rights, Tehran will not back down from any of our rights. Iran has insisted that its program is for civilian purposes only and that it does not seek to develop any nuclear weapons. In an interview with Al Jazeera, Araghchi said, "I have said before that if the goal of the agreement is to ensure that Iran never acquires a nuclear weapon, then that has already been achieved, and the agreement is possible." But if the other side makes unrealistic demands, then there will be problems, he said. In a...

Hamas praises the Norwegian Confederation for its boycott of Israel.

  The Norwegian Confederation of Trade Unions (LO) has banned trade and investment with companies affiliated with the Jewish (Israeli) occupation. The Palestinian resistance movement Hamas has praised the decision. The armed group described it as a “courageous step.” In a statement obtained by Quds Press on Friday, Hamas called on labor unions and trade unions around the world to take this moral stand and continue to use all available means to isolate the fascist entity and expose its crimes against humanity. Earlier, the LO trade union voted unanimously at a general conference on Friday to adopt a resolution calling for a boycott of Israel and its products. “We want the fund to divest itself of companies operating in the occupied Palestinian territories,” Steiner Krogstad, the confederation’s deputy leader, said on Tuesday. He said the general policy of Norway’s sovereign wealth fund is that it does not invest in companies that violate international law. LO is Norway’s largest tra...

India sought the assistance of the United States for a ceasefire in response to Pakistan's strong retaliation.

Image
  Within hours of Delhi and Islamabad agreeing to a ceasefire brokered by US President Donald Trump, CNN's Nick Robertson claims that Pakistan's strong counterattack has shaken India's position, prompting India to quickly seek US mediation. In an interview with CNN, Nick Robertson said, "When India attacked three Pakistani airbases, Pakistan launched a massive and sustained missile and rocket attack targeting Indian military installations, airbases and weapons depots. This left India in a state of shock — they had no idea what was happening." CNN's Nick Robertson The ongoing tensions between the two countries began on May 7, when India carried out an "unprovoked" cross-border attack that killed at least 31 civilians, including children. In response, Pakistan shot down five Indian fighter jets, three of which were Rafales, as well as dozens of drones. At that time, India sent several drones into Pakistani airspace, of which Pakistan shot down about 80...

Image
  Russian President Vladimir Putin has proposed direct peace talks with Ukraine for the first time without any preconditions, the Kremlin said on Sunday. Vladimir Putin said, “We are interested in starting direct peace talks with Kiev and we are not setting any preconditions. This proposal was also made to Kiev’s representatives in Istanbul last Thursday.” Putin wants the possible dialogue between representatives of the two countries to take place in Turkey. He expressed hope that this dialogue will ultimately lead the two countries to a ceasefire. Putin also said that he would talk to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan about this. He added, “Our proposal is on the table. Now it depends on the Ukrainian government and its patrons, who are probably driven by their own political ambitions rather than the interests of the people.” However, Kiev has not yet responded to Putin’s recent peace dialogue proposal. Russia launched a military operation in Ukraine in February 2022. In this...

Pakistan claims to have destroyed India's S-400 air defense system.

Image
  Amid the ongoing tension over the Kashmir issue, Pakistan has now demanded the destruction of India's sophisticated air defense system S-400. India bought this air defense system from Russia. Pakistan claims that as part of Operation Bunyanum Marsus, they have successfully targeted and destroyed the S-400 air defense system located in Adampur in Jalandhar district of Punjab, India. According to Pakistani security sources, the country's air force used hypersonic missile technology in their retaliatory attack, in which a JF-17 Thunder aircraft is said to have been seriously damaged.
