Bastille Day 2025 in Paris turned into a diplomatic and military spectacle as Indonesia—the world’s largest Muslim-majority nation—led the foreign guest honors. Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto arrived to oversee the march of his country’s troops, including a striking 200-member military drum unit, through the Champs-Élysées. The gesture marked a deepening of Franco-Indonesian defense ties, with expectations high for Jakarta to confirm major purchases of French Rafale fighter jets and other arms.

As the Iran-Israel war winds down, France has revealed its covert military role during the conflict. Defense Minister Sébastien Lecornu confirmed that French forces intercepted fewer than ten Iranian drones aimed at Israel before the ceasefire. Using Rafale jets and ground systems, France acted in self-defense to protect troops and regional installations. The revelation underscores limited NATO involvement in defending Israel and highlights the growing threat from Iran’s drone arsenal, which sought to map Israeli air defenses. France's move marks a rare and bold military admission in the Middle East crisis.

Trinamool Congress MP Saket Gokhale has issued an unconditional public apology and agreed to pay ₹50 lakh in damages after falsely accusing ex-diplomat Lakshmi Murdeshwar Puri of corruption. The Delhi High Court warned of civil detention if he failed to comply.
But Gokhale’s apology isn’t an isolated incident — it’s just another example in a long line of opposition leaders making defamatory claims, triggering outrage, and then quietly backtracking when confronted by the courts.
From Rahul Gandhi’s RSS allegations to the Rafale lie, from ‘khoon ki dalali’ to defaming NSA Ajit Doval’s son — the pattern is clear: slander first, apologise later.

As tensions escalate on Day 3 of the Thailand-Cambodia conflict, military analysts reveal a stark gap in capabilities. Thailand fields modern tanks, fighters like JAS-39 Gripens, and even a light carrier, while Cambodia relies on aging Cold War hardware with limited naval and air power. With China quietly backing Phnom Penh and Thailand’s forces enjoying a technological edge, the region watches closely—could this skirmish spiral into an all-out ASEAN war?

Vishal Yadav, a Navy HQ clerk, has been arrested for leaking sensitive military data to Pakistan’s ISI, including during Operation Sindoor — India’s retaliatory strike post the Pahalgam terror attack. Yadav was reportedly lured online by a female ISI handler posing as "Priya Sharma." Forensic scans showed data transfers and chats over several years. He was paid in crypto. A wider espionage crackdown is underway, with multiple suspects under interrogation. The breach raises serious national security concerns amid heightened Indo-Pak tensions.
