“Do not drop those bombs”: Trump warns Israel against striking Iran again
Washington, D.C.: US President Donald Trump has issued a blunt warning to Israel not to launch fresh airstrikes on Iran, after Israel’s defence ministry announced plans for “intense strikes” in response to what it called an Iranian ceasefire breach.
Posting on Truth Social, Trump wrote: “ISRAEL. DO NOT DROP THOSE BOMBS. IF YOU DO IT IS A MAJOR VIOLATION. BRING YOUR PILOTS HOME, NOW!”
The statement comes amid renewed volatility in the region, as both Israel and Iran have accused each other of violating the temporary ceasefire deal.
Trump criticised Israel’s rapid retaliation after the ceasefire, suggesting the country has lost strategic clarity after years of conflict. “They’ve been fighting so long and so hard that they don’t know what the fuck they’re doing,” he said.
In an interaction with reporters, the US president also stated: “I didn’t like that Israel ‘unloaded’ immediately after agreeing to a ceasefire.” He added that “both sides” were responsible for ceasefire violations.
Despite the rising tensions, Trump reaffirmed his position that Iran would not be allowed to rebuild its nuclear programme. However, when asked directly whether the ceasefire had been broken, he responded ambiguously: “I don’t think so.”
Trump’s remarks mark a rare and direct criticism of Israel by a US president.

Nation was under Emergency when Vande Mataram completed 100 years: PM Modi in LS
New Delhi (PTI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday lamented that when national song Vande Mataram completed 100 years, the Constitution was "throttled" and nation chained by Emergency.
Initiating a discussion on 150 years of Vande Mataram in the Lok Sabha, Modi noted that when Vande Mataram completed 50 years, India was reeling under colonialism.
"When Vande Mataram completed 50 years, country was under colonial rule while at its 100th anniversary the nation was under Emergency," he said.
The prime minister noted that the mantra of Vande Mataram gave power and inspiration to the entire country during freedom struggle
"The mantra energised and inspired India’s freedom movement and showed the path of courage and determination. Remembering that sacred Vande Mataram today is a great privilege for all of us in this House.

"It is a matter of pride for us that we are witnessing the historic occasion of Vande Mataram completing 150 years," he said.
"When Vande Mataram completed 100 years, the nation was chained by the Emergency. At that time, the Constitution was throttled and those who lived and died for patriotism were pushed behind prison bars. The Emergency was a dark chapter in our history. Now we have the opportunity to restore the greatness of Vande Mataram. And I believe this opportunity should not be allowed to pass," Modi said.
