Putin Expresses Solidarity with Tehran After Leadership Transition

Putin expresses solidarity with Tehran after leadership transition Russian President Vladimir Putin has extended congratulations to Mojtaba Khamenei following his appointment as Iran’s new Supreme Leader, pledging Moscow’s continued support for Tehran amid an intensifying regional conflict. The leadership shift came after the death of Ali Khamenei, who was reportedly killed in US-Israeli airstrikes last week. The strikes have sharply escalated tensions in the Middle East and triggered a series of retaliatory actions by Iran. In a message addressed to Mojtaba Khamenei, Putin reiterated Russia’s longstanding alliance with Tehran. “I would like to reaffirm our unwavering support for Tehran and solidarity with our Iranian friends,” he said, adding that “Russia has been and will remain a reliable partner” to Iran. The statement reflects Moscow’s strategic partnership with Iran, which has deepened in recent years through economic cooperation, military coordination, and shared geopolitical interests. Putin says Mojtaba must lead Iran through ‘severe trials’ In his message, Putin said he was confident the new Supreme Leader would preserve his father’s legacy while guiding Iran through a period of extraordinary challenges. He expressed belief that Mojtaba would continue the policies and vision established by Ali Khamenei and help maintain national unity during a time of crisis. Putin said the new leader would carry forward his father’s legacy “with honor” and bring together the Iranian people “in the face of severe trials.” At the same time, the Russian leader acknowledged that Mojtaba Khamenei’s tenure begins under extremely difficult circumstances. The United States and Israel have continued a large-scale military campaign targeting Iranian facilities and assets since the strikes that reportedly killed the former Supreme Leader. The conflict has rapidly expanded, raising fears of a broader regional confrontation. Iran launches retaliatory strikes across the region In response to the airstrikes, Iran has launched multiple waves of drone and missile attacks targeting Israel as well as Gulf states that host US military installations. Officials say the strikes were aimed at deterring further military action and demonstrating Iran’s ability to retaliate against Western military assets in the region. The escalation has heightened concerns among regional governments and international observers that the conflict could evolve into a wider war involving multiple Middle Eastern states. Reports claim Russia is sharing intelligence with Tehran Amid the escalating crisis, reports indicate that Russia may be actively assisting Iran by sharing intelligence related to US military operations in the region. According to a report by The Washington Post, Moscow has provided Tehran with real-time information on US warships, aircraft, and other military assets operating in the Middle East since the conflict intensified. The report cited three officials familiar with the matter, who confirmed the intelligence sharing on condition of anonymity due to the sensitive nature of the information. If confirmed, such cooperation would represent a significant step in Russia’s support for Iran during the ongoing confrontation with the United States and Israel. China supports the appointment and urges respect for Iran’s sovereignty Meanwhile, China has also backed Mojtaba Khamenei’s appointment, describing the transition as consistent with Iran’s constitutional framework. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun emphasized that the decision was an internal matter for Iran and should be respected by the international community. “ China opposes interference in other countries’ internal affairs under any pretext, and Iran’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity should be respected,” he said. Beijing’s comments signal diplomatic support for Tehran at a time when global attention is focused on the unfolding conflict and its potential geopolitical consequences. A volatile moment for the Middle East The appointment of Mojtaba Khamenei marks a significant moment in Iran’s political history, occurring amid military confrontation and rising global tensions. With Russia and China voicing support for Tehran and the United States and Israel continuing military operations, analysts warn that the situation remains highly volatile. The coming weeks are expected to test the leadership of Iran’s new Supreme Leader as the country navigates one of the most challenging periods in its modern history. Tags: Mojtaba Khamenei

Opposition Moves to Impeach Chief Election Commissioner Over Alleged Bias

With the Opposition this week working on a motion to impeach Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar for alleged “biased conduct”, the process that is expected to be followed will be the same as the one for removing a judge. Here’s what the Opposition is planning — and what the law says. What is the Opposition’s contention? Initiated by the Trinamool Congress, the Opposition has drafted the impeachment motion against Kumar and is in the process of collecting the required number of signatures from MPs, sources say. One of the grounds against him, as per the sources, will be his “completely biased conduct”. The Trinamool has accused the Election Commission of targeting West Bengal during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, in which it deployed micro-observers to review the decisions taken by the statutory authority only in the state. As per Article 324 (5) of the Constitution, the “Chief Election Commissioner shall not be removed from his office except in like manner and on the like grounds as a Judge of the Supreme Court.” It also says that Election Commissioners can only be removed on the recommendation of the Chief Election Commissioner. The article also states that this process is “subject to provisions of any law made by Parliament” on the matter. Following from that, Parliament passed the Chief Election Commissioner and Other Election Commissioners (Appointment, Conditions of Service and Term of Office) Act, 2023 in December 2023. Section 11 of the Act provides for the resignation and removal process. It sticks to the same process as mentioned in the Constitution. “The Chief Election Commissioner shall not be removed from his office except in like manner and on the like grounds as a Judge of the Supreme Court,” it says. The process for removing a judge of the Supreme Court is as per Article 124 of the Constitution and the Judges (Inquiry) Act, 1968. Article 124 (4) says that a Supreme Court judge can be removed “by an order of the President passed after an address by each House of Parliament supported by a majority of the total membership of that House and by a majority of not less than two-thirds of the members of that House present and voting has been presented to the President in the same session for such removal on the ground of proved misbehaviour or incapacity.” The next clause adds that Parliament may pass a law to regulate the procedure for presenting such an address and investigation and proof of “misbehaviour or incapacity” of a judge. As per Section 3 of the Judges (Inquiry) Act, a motion for presenting an address to the President for removal of a judge must be signed by at least 100 members in the case of the Lok Sabha or 50 members in the Rajya Sabha . The Speaker of the Lok Sabha or the Chairman of the Council of States or Rajya Sabha can decide to admit or refuse the motion. In the case the motion is accepted, the Speaker or Chairman have to set up a three-member committee to investigate. The members of the committee have to include one judge of the Supreme Court, one Chief Justice of a High Court and a distinguished jurist. The report of the committee is then to be submitted to the Speaker or Chairman. In case the committee finds the judge guilty of misbehaviour or suffering from incapacity, the motion will be taken up by the House or Houses in which it is pending, the Act says. If passed, the address to remove the judge is sent to the President.

Strait of Hormuz: A Critical Route for Global Oil Supply at Risk

Crude Oil From Strait of Hormuz: Amid rising tensions in the Middle East, the Strait of Hormuz has once again come to the center of global discussion आहे.इराणच्याइस्लामिक The Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has warned that not a single drop of oil will be allowed to go out of this route if the situation becomes more serious. According to experts, if this important sea route is closed, then there can be a big impact on the oil supply in the world market and there is a possibility of a big increase in fuel prices. Why is the Strait of Hormuz so important? The Strait of Hormuz is a narrow sea route connecting the Persian Gulf and the Arabian Sea. Its width is about 33 kilometers. However, such a short route supplies about 20 to 25 percent of the world's crude oil. Apart from this, a large amount of natural gas is also transported through this route, which is also a major security route for oil producers like India.

The war between the US-Israel and Iran has been going on for the last 12 days. Iran is targeting the Gulf countries in response to the attacks on it. These attacks are mainly on US bases or bases associated with it. The US issued a notice to its citizens not to leave the country and not to travel there. The GCC countries are not attacking Iran despite the continuous Iranian attacks on themselves and this is what is bothering the US. The US has started to withdraw troops from its military base in Riyadh. A US Senator Lindsey Graham said that the American people are being killed and the US is spending billions of dollars to remove the terrorist Iranian regime that is threatening the region. On the other hand, Saudi Arabia seems to be only issuing statements and doing some things behind the scenes that help only nominally.

"He very emotionally said that a mistake had happened on his part. A lot of mistakes have happened in our years-long marriage, but I never said I am leaving him or will go to the media or that I will take legal steps," she said. "My intention was not to tarnish the image of the government or my husband. That is what I said yesterday also. He called this morning and apologised and said we can sort out the issue. That is what I was waiting for. Definitely not going forward with the complaint now. We are going to resolve it together," Menon told the channel.

Menon said that her allegations were made in an "emotional outburst" after the minister denied her claims of infidelity and termed her call to 112 -- Emergency Response Support System -- as "madness". "We all make mistakes in life, because he was a minister, everyone came to know what he did. But there is no need for the minister to apologise to the public.

Uttar Pradesh Cabinet Expansion May Be Delayed Amid Ongoing Assembly Elections

Lucknow: Amid speculations of cabinet expansion in Uttar Pradesh, it may have to wait for a while. The current political situation does not seem to favour an immediate expansion. It is believed that the Yogi government can take a decision on cabinet expansion only after the upcoming assembly elections in five states, including West Bengal, Assam and Tamil Nadu. When will the cabinet expansion take place? According to sources, the process of swearing-in of the new chief minister in Bihar is also to be completed before this. There is a possibility of a change or expansion in Team Yogi in Uttar Pradesh only after this. The central leadership and organization of the BJP are busy with these political activities, so the cabinet expansion may be postponed for some time. Currently, so many ministers including the CM have been sworn in that the cabinet was also expanded on 26 September 2021, about six months before the 2022 assembly elections. A total of seven ministers were sworn in the Yogi government at that time. Jitin Prasada was made a cabinet minister, while Paltu Ram, Sanjay Kumar Gond, Sangeeta Balwant Dharam Prajapati, Dinesh Gangveer Singh were made ministers in the second term of the Yogi government.

Uttar Pradesh Cabinet Expansion Delayed Amid Election Focus

The much-awaited expansion of the Yogi cabinet in Uttar Pradesh politics seems to be on the cards. There was talk in the corridors of power that a new team could be announced around Holi, but now the top leadership of the party has changed its priorities. The wait for many MLAs to become ministers has increased by at least two months. According to the latest developments, now there will be a change in Uttar Pradesh only after the results of the assembly elections in five states, including West Bengal and Assam. According to BJP sources, the central leadership is currently busy with the assembly elections in West Bengal, Assam, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and Puducherry. Also, the political turmoil over the formation of a new government in Bihar and the coronation of the chief minister has also caught Delhi's attention. The party high command believes that it will be organizationally challenging to expand the cabinet in a huge state like Uttar Pradesh amid the election summer of these important states. The leadership is currently drawing on its full energy to ensure a victory in the next assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh in 2026.

Pentagon Spends $5.6 Billion on Weapons in First 48 Hours of Operation Against Iran

According to a Washington Post report, the Pentagon spent $5.6 billion, or about $52 billion, on weapons in the first 48 hours of its military operation against Iran. This staggering figure has raised concerns among officials about the rapid depletion of "America's most advanced weapons in short supply." The estimate, presented to Congress on Monday, has sparked a new debate over the administration's claim that the mission "is not rapidly reducing US military readiness. To sustain the ongoing campaign, the White House may request a supplemental defense budget this week, which could be several times as much as $10 billion. In response to The Washington Post's questions about the state of the national stockpiles, Pentagon chief spokesman Sean Parnell said the department has everything it needs to accomplish any mission at a time and place of the president's choosing and on any timeline." The Washington Post reported that the US military and President Donald Trump "will use laser bombs inside this growing stockpile."
