Shashi Tharoor TEARS INTO U.S ‘Mediation’ In India-PAK Ceasefire | Delegation SLAMS West’s Media

Congress MP Shashi Tharoor clarified India’s position on third-party mediation amid Operation Sindoor. He revealed that several global powers—including the U.S., France, UAE, and Saudi Arabia—reached out following India’s retaliatory strikes. Tharoor emphasized that India is not seeking war, but acted against terrorism. Any message relayed to Pakistan was indirect, not part of a formal mediation process. Tharoor reaffirmed that India never initiated aggression, maintaining a clear stance: “If they stop, we stop.” #OperationSindoor #IndiaPakistan #ShashiTharoor #NoMediation #AntiTerrorStrike #IndiaStandsFirm #PakistanTerror #TharoorStatement #IndiaForeignPolicy #WarOnTerror #IndiaNews #GlobalDiplomacy #NoToWar #IndianArmy #IndiaDefence #UAE #USIndiaRelations #France #SaudiArabia #IndiaPeace #SecurityFirst #RetaliationNotWar #IndiaResponds #IndiaPakistanTensions #IndiaSpeaks #BreakingNews #ANI #PeaceNotWar #IndiaInFocus #GeoPolitics #TerrorResponse Also Read Congress Vs Shashi Tharoor Strife Deepens: Party Says He's Part Of Family, MP Hits Out At Critics :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/congress-vs-shashi-tharoor-strife-deepens-party-says-hes-part-of-family-mp-hits-out-at-critics-4167287.html?ref=DMDesc Multi-Party Indian Delegation In Guyana Backs Tharoor’s Tough Message On Terrorism :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/multi-party-indian-delegation-in-guyana-backs-tharoor-s-tough-message-on-terrorism-4164031.html?ref=DMDesc Shashi Tharoor Says 'I Don't Work For Govt', Backs Operation Sindoor As India's Response To Pahalgam Attack :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/shashi-tharoor-says-i-dont-work-for-govt-backs-operation-sindoor-as-indias-response-to-pahalgam-4163119.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.102~

Gulf Royals Begged Trump to Halt Iran Strike? MBS, MBZ, Emir Tamim Warned Trump About War With Iran

In a dramatic diplomatic twist, Gulf powerhouses Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar reportedly urged President Trump to stand down from launching a military strike on Iran. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS), UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed (MBZ), and Qatari Emir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani warned that such action could provoke devastating Iranian retaliation—especially against U.S. bases on Gulf soil. As fears of regional chaos mounted, the Gulf leaders pushed Trump toward diplomacy and a new nuclear deal instead of confrontation. Trump, meanwhile, told Israeli PM Netanyahu to hold back on unilateral action and hinted that a “very strong document” with Iran could be signed soon. #Trump #IranStrike #MBS #MBZ #EmirTamim #GulfDiplomacy #MiddleEastCrisis #TrumpIranTensions #SaudiArabia #UAE #Qatar #IranDeal #TrumpForeignPolicy #NoWarWithIran #GulfStates Also Read Appeals Court Allows Trump To Continue Collecting Tariffs Under Emergency Powers Law For Now :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/appeals-court-allows-trump-to-continue-collecting-tariffs-under-emergency-powers-law-for-now-4167703.html?ref=DMDesc Harvard Granted One Month Extension In Trump Dispute Over International Student Ban: Reports :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/harvard-granted-one-month-extension-in-trump-dispute-over-international-student-ban-reports-4167515.html?ref=DMDesc Elon Musk Exits Trump Administration After Slamming ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ on His Way Out :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/elon-musk-exits-trump-administration-after-slamming-big-beautiful-bill-on-his-way-out-4166709.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.346~

Trump’s Final Warning To Iran: ‘Move Fast Or Face Consequences’ Says U.S President On Nuclear Deal

President Trump has revealed that Iran received a fresh U.S. proposal for a new nuclear agreement. Urging swift action, Trump warned Tehran to “move quickly” or face serious consequences. Secretary of State Marco Rubio stressed the urgency, citing Iran’s 60% enriched uranium stockpile—just a short step from weapons-grade levels. With four rounds of backchannel talks in Oman and increasing pressure from Congress, the stakes are high. Trump claims Iran has “sort of agreed,” promising a future without “nuclear dust”—but Republicans are demanding a tougher stance. #Trump #IranDeal #NuclearTalks #Iran #MarcoRubio #IAEA #NuclearWeapons #MiddleEast #USPolitics #TrumpAdministration #BreakingNews #Geopolitics #InternationalRelations #Diplomacy #IranNuclearProgram #USIranRelations #HardlinePolicy #NuclearCrisis #SecurityThreat #OmanTalks #TrumpVsIran #EnrichedUranium #RepublicanPressure #WhiteHouse #IAEAReport #GlobalSecurity #WeaponizationWarning #NuclearAgreement #RubioStatement #TrumpSpeech Also Read What is Al-Ayyala, The Hair-Flipping Ritual Performed By Women To Welcome Trump In UAE? :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/what-is-al-ayyala-the-hair-flipping-ritual-performed-by-women-to-welcome-trump-in-uae-4155333.html?ref=DMDesc Days After Pahalgam Attack, Pakistan Signed Deal With Trump Family-Backed Cryptocurrency Venture :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/days-after-pahalgam-attack-pakistan-signed-deal-with-trump-family-backed-cryptocurrency-venture-4154893.html?ref=DMDesc Kangana Ranaut Takes Jibe At Donald Trump, Later Deletes It - Says Did It On 'JP Nadda's Request' :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/kangana-ranaut-takes-jibe-at-donald-trump-says-deleted-post-on-jp-naddas-request-4154455.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.420~GR.124~
