Former Karnataka CM Bommai undergoes heart surgery
Bengaluru (PTI): Former Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai has undergone a coronary artery bypass surgery, and is recovering at a private hospital here, sources close to him said.
Coronary artery bypass surgery is done to restore blood flow around a blocked heart artery.
Informing his followers that he has had surgery, Bommai said in a post on social media platform X that he is now “taking complete rest as advised by the doctors.”
Stating that he is eagerly waiting to come back as soon as possible after full recovery, the 63-year-old BJP leader, who underwent the surgery on Monday, told his well wishers and followers: “As I am currently in the hospital, if you all come to see me in the hospital, it will disturb other patients…therefore, I request you not to come to the hospital.”
“Your good wishes have made me mentally stronger and I will return to public service soon. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who wished me well,” added Bommai.
Bommai’s predecessor as chief minister BS Yediyurappa, in a post on X, wished him a speedy recovery.

US rules out use of nuclear weapons against Iran
Washington DC: The White House has reportedly ruled out the use of nuclear weapons against Iran, even as uncertainty continues over ongoing peace negotiations and a deadline set by US President Donald Trump approaches.
Issues bout a possible escalation had increased after US Vice President JD Vance said that the United States has “tools in our toolkit that we so far haven’t decided to use” in dealing with Iran.
His remarks came amid rising tensions and ahead of a deadline linked to peace efforts.
The situation has attracted attention as Trump warned Iran that its “whole civilization will die tonight tonight” if an agreement is not reached by Tuesday at 8 pm.
This statement led to speculation about the possibility of extreme military measures, including a nuclear strike.
Following Vance’s comments, the White House issued a clarification distancing itself from such interpretations. In a post on X, it said, "Literally nothing @VP said here 'implies' this, you absolute buffoons." In a later statement, it added that “only the president knows” what action will be taken regarding Iran.
