Gunman killed in Istanbul consulate attack

A gunman was killed and two others injured following a shootout near the Israeli consulate in Istanbul, in what Turkish authorities have described as a terrorist incident. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan condemned the attack as a “heinous act of terror,” vowing that such actions would not undermine the country’s security environment. According to Interior Minister Mustafa Ciftci, two police officers sustained minor injuries during the exchange of fire. One officer was hit in the leg and the other in the ear, but both are reported to be in stable condition. Authorities said the attackers had travelled from the city of Izmit using a rental vehicle. The gunman who was killed was identified as Yunus E.S., described by officials as having links to an extremist group exploiting religion—widely interpreted as a reference to Islamic State, although no organisation has claimed responsibility.

Iran warns of ‘much more devastating’ retaliation if civilians are hit

Iran’s central military command has warned it will launch “much more devastating” retaliation if its adversaries carry out further strikes on civilian targets or infrastructure. The warning comes amid spiralling tensions with the United States and Israel over attacks on Iranian territory and regional interests. In a statement carried by state media, commanders said that any repeat attacks on civilian sites would trigger broader and more destructive waves of offensive and retaliatory operations. They accused Washington and Tel Aviv of already resorting to hitting non‑military facilities in an effort to compensate for battlefield “failures”. Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said its recent “True Promise” operations had targeted enemy assets in countries hosting US and Israeli forces, including sites in the UAE, Bahrain and Kuwait. It warned that if civilian facilities continue to be attacked, the next phase of strikes would […]

Israeli strikes kill Iran Guards intelligence chief amid US–Iran tensions

US–Israeli strikes have killed the head of intelligence of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Major General Majid Khademi, in a fresh escalation of the ongoing confrontation with Tehran. The Guards announced on Monday that Khademi was killed “at dawn” in what they described as a terrorist attack by the American‑Zionist enemy. Khademi was a key figure in one of Iran’s most powerful security organs, overseeing sensitive intelligence operations at home and abroad. Israeli sources cited by international media said the precision strike also eliminated at least one senior Quds Force commander involved in overseas operations. The killing follows a series of joint US–Israeli attacks that have targeted senior Iranian commanders since late February, including officers linked to naval and regional operations. Iranian officials have vowed retaliation, warning that the death of such a high‑ranking intelligence chief will not go unanswered. […]

Europe Turns Back to Nuclear Energy

Across Europe, rising gas prices and fuel costs are once again putting pressure on households and businesses. As energy bills climb, concerns are growing about the continent’s dependence on imported fossil fuels and its vulnerability to global crises. While governments like the UK have urged calm, the European Commission has advised citizens to reduce travel and work more from home to limit energy demand. Officials warn the situation could worsen, particularly depending on developments in the Middle East. This renewed pressure has brought energy independence back into focus. After the shock of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Europe is once again reassessing how it powers its economies. Nuclear energy returns to the spotlight Nuclear power is increasingly being reconsidered as part of Europe’s long-term energy strategy. Speaking at a recent summit in Paris, Ursula von der Leyen described Europe’s move […]

The Last Queen of Bengal’s Theatre

In mid-20th century Bengal, eastern India, some of the most celebrated female stage performers were, in fact, men. Among them, Chapal Bhaduri stood out. Known on stage as Chapal Rani, he became one of the most prominent figures in jatra, a traditional travelling theatre form that once attracted large rural audiences. Across global theatre traditions—from Europe to Asia—it was common for male actors to portray female roles. In Bengal, this practice thrived within jatra, a vibrant performance style blending music, mythology and drama. These productions were staged in open-air settings and relied heavily on expressive acting, elaborate costumes and powerful vocal delivery. In the book Chapal Rani: The Last Queen of Bengal, author Sandip Roy explores Bhaduri’s rise to fame and his gradual fall into obscurity. Through his story, the book sheds light on a fading theatrical tradition where gender […]

US Town Unites Against Immigration Facility

In the small town of Social Circle, an unusual alliance has emerged as residents from across the political spectrum unite to oppose plans for a large immigration detention centre. Democrat Gareth Fenley and conservative John Miller, despite their differing views, have spent months monitoring a massive warehouse purchased by the Department of Homeland Security. The site is part of a broader $38.3 billion federal initiative to expand detention facilities across the United States. Each day, the two residents visit the property, checking for signs of construction. So far, the site remains unchanged, raising cautious hope among locals that the project may be delayed or reconsidered. The proposed facility could house up to 10,000 detainees—effectively tripling the town’s population of around 5,000 people. While many residents support stricter immigration policies, they argue that their town lacks the infrastructure to support such […]

Iran boosts Kharg Island oil exports despite ongoing war

Iran’s oil exports from Kharg Island have increased despite the ongoing war with the United States and Israel, according to Iranian officials and local media. Kharg is Iran’s main export terminal and handles the vast majority of the country’s crude shipments. Moussa Ahmadi, head of the Iranian parliament’s energy commission, said that inspections and meetings on the island showed that oil exports have not decreased in recent days but have actually gone up. His comments were carried by Iran’s ISNA news agency. Kharg Island normally handles around 90 to 95 percent of Iran’s crude exports, estimated at about 1.7 to 2 million barrels per day before the latest escalation. Despite air strikes on military targets there, US officials have said they deliberately avoided hitting oil loading infrastructure, allowing exports to continue. Maritime data firms report that crude loading at Kharg […]

US Israeli strike near Iran nuclear plant kills guard

Iran says a joint US Israeli strike has hit an area close to the Bushehr nuclear power plant in the country’s southwest, killing one person. According to the Atomic Energy Organisation of Iran, the victim was a security guard stationed at the site. The attack reportedly struck a support or side building in the vicinity of the plant rather than the main nuclear facilities themselves. Iranian officials said there was no damage to the reactor or core infrastructure and that electricity production at the Bushehr plant has not been affected. State media reported that the strike occurred at about 8:30 am local time on Saturday, amid continuing US Israeli air operations against Iranian targets across the country. The Bushehr incident is the latest in a series of attacks that have also hit military bases, industrial sites and other strategic locations […]

Traoré Rejects Democracy in Burkina Faso

Burkina Faso’s military leader, Ibrahim Traoré, has openly criticized democracy, saying the system “kills” and should be abandoned by the country. In an interview broadcast on state television, the 38-year-old leader argued that democracy is not suited to Burkina Faso or much of Africa. “People need to forget about the issue of democracy. Democracy is not for us,” he stated, without outlining a clear alternative model. Traoré, who took power in a 2022 coup, had initially promised a return to civilian rule by July 2024. However, the military government later extended its transition period by five years. In January, authorities also suspended all political parties, describing the move as part of efforts to rebuild the state. To support his argument, Traoré pointed to Libya, suggesting that attempts to impose democracy there led to instability and conflict. He claimed that Western-backed […]
