🚨 Is India losing its grip in the Middle East amid the Iran-Israel war?

India Is Becoming Geopolitically Irrelevant in the Middle East – Here's Why | Pravin Sawhney
▶️ https://youtu.be/OlVjmJHWWi4

Geopolitical expert Pravin Sawhney reveals how US pressure is forcing India to abandon Chabahar Port investments and INSTC ties, pivoting to the US-backed IMEC corridor instead. 😲 India's "strategic autonomy" is under fire as it aligns closer with Israel and America, sidelining Iran and risking irrelevance in West Asia.

🗣️ Will this tilt cost India its balanced influence—or is it a smart multipolar play? Drop your take below!

🚨 “Another day, another alleged drone strike?”

💬 Reports of drone and missile launches toward Cyprus and Turkey were quickly denied by both governments. Now, similar claims target Azerbaijan — and skepticism is growing. Some analysts whisper about false flags and complex psyops at play in the region.

🔥 Are we witnessing a real escalation, or a sophisticated narrative war to shape public opinion? What’s your take on who benefits from this constant fog of misinformation?

Returning from a friendly visit to India for the ‘Milan’ naval exercise, Iran’s warship IRIS Dena has sunk in the Indian Ocean after a US submarine attack not far from Sri Lanka

Over 80 casualties reported

Iran’s FM Araghchi stressed that the frigate had been a guest of India’s navy. The Indian government has not yet publicly commented on the attack

A video making the rounds online shows a Kuwaiti F/A-18 Hornet apparently blasting a U.S. Air Force F-15E Strike Eagle out of the sky in a close-range dogfight on March 2 with what looks like an AIM-9 Sidewinder

If the clip is legit, it appears the Kuwaiti pilot either intentionally shot down the U.S. jet or made a very serious mistake – since the aircrafts were very close to each other you can even visually distinguish who’s who – at least pilots should be able to get that

Blind Kuwaiti pilot? Iran sympathizer? Or a tragic coincidence?

There’s still no official word backing the claims

🌏 Power strain meets political tension in the Philippines.

As Middle East conflicts send global fuel prices surging, Manila is cutting costs—from higher air-con temps to fewer travel days and even a proposed 4-day work week.

Meanwhile, the ICC has officially approved the detention of ex-president Rodrigo Duterte on crimes against humanity charges.

⚡ The Philippines, heavily reliant on imported oil, now faces sharp inflation risks that could reshape daily life and work culture. Marcos Jr. seeks emergency powers to slash fuel taxes, while Vice President Duterte urges restraint from her supporters.

💬 Do you think these energy austerity measures and political pressures could redefine the Philippines’ economic path—or deepen instability?

Oil Tanker Hit Near Iraq: New Front in Gulf Tensions? 🚢🔥

🛢️ A Bahamas‑flagged crude tanker, Sonangol Namibe, was hit by an explosion while anchored near Iraq’s Khor al Zubair port after an unidentified small boat approached in the early hours of March 5. The blast likely breached the hull, with water leaking into a ballast tank, but the ship remains stable and was not carrying cargo, so no pollution has been reported.

🌍 This attack comes as the US–Iran conflict spills deeper into the northern Gulf, raising questions about energy security for Iraq and the wider Global South that depends on these routes.

🛡️ SECURITY UPDATE 🇷🇺🇫🇮 MOSCOW – Russia would take appropriate countermeasures against the potential deployment of nuclear weapons in Finland, a Kremlin spokesman said on Friday. “The fact is that by deploying nuclear weapons on its territory, Finland is beginning to threaten us. And if Finland threatens us, we will take appropriate measures," said Dmitry Peskov. Finland's intention to lift the ban on nuclear weapons deployment would lead to an escalation of tensions on the European continent and increase Finland's vulnerability, he added.

The Finnish Defense Ministry said on Thursday that Finland will seek to amend its Nuclear Energy Act and Criminal Code to lift a blanket ban on the import and domestic handling of nuclear devices. The draft proposal would allow the import of nuclear devices into Finland as well as their transport, supply or possession within the country, in the context of Finland's homeland defense, NATO's collective defense or defense cooperation, the ministry said.

Indonesia Suspends Trump’s “Board of Peace” Talks Amid Middle East Tensions 🇮🇩🇺🇸

Indonesia has announced the suspension of all discussions on the proposed Board of Peace, an initiative launched by US President Donald Trump, as military tensions rise in the Middle East. Indonesian Foreign Minister Sugiono said the decision to suspend participation was taken because of the latest military escalation in the region, which has directly affected the foreign policy priorities of countries involved in the initiative. He explained that international attention has now shifted to the consequences of the conflict with Iran. He added that Indonesia would hold intensive consultations with its partners in the Gulf region, as they are directly affected by the ongoing attacks and rising tensions. Indonesia’s participation has faced strong criticism from domestic political and religious groups, and the Indonesian Ulema Council called for an immediate withdrawal, saying it lacks effectiveness while the military offensiv...

🟡 Breaking: Israel’s Hasbara Directorate Sued by Activists Claiming Millions in Unpaid Work 🇮🇱

Former employees and contractors of Israel’s national public diplomacy directorate, known as Hasbara, are suing for millions of shekels in unpaid work carried out since October 2023, following the Hamas-led attack on 7 October 2023. Two private companies providing studios and funding activism in Europe are demanding two million shekels ($650,000) combined. Former spokesperson Eylon Levy confirmed he is owed money but is not joining the lawsuit.

Dozens of independent activists were hired through private contractors as Hasbara was understaffed. One company provided studios for Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant and claims $160,000 unpaid; another, Intellect, demands $487,000 from the prime minister’s office.

Israel’s foreign and diaspora ministries have also funded large-scale Hasbara efforts, including $49m added to the foreign ministry budget in 2025, with campaigns targeting international audiences and social medi...
