Israel Eliminates Iran’s Air Force Chief Hajizadeh in Bunker Strike; Over 20 Iranian Leaders Killed

Israel has eliminated IRGC Aerospace Force Chief Brigadier General Amir Ali Hajizadeh in a precision airstrike on a secret underground command bunker. The Israeli Defense Forces confirmed that over 20 senior Iranian military officials, including commanders of Iran’s drone and air defense units, were also killed in the strike. The targeted facility was reportedly being used to coordinate an imminent large-scale attack on Israel. Hajizadeh, a key architect of Iran’s missile and drone programs, had previously overseen major offensives including the April and October 2024 attacks on Israel and the infamous 2019 drone strike on Saudi oil facilities. #IsraelIranWar #HajizadehKilled #IsraelStrikesIran #IRGCUnderAttack #IranGeneralsKilled #MiddleEastConflict #OperationRisingLion #IsraelAirstrike #IranMissileThreat #TehranUnderFire #IsraelDefenseForces #IranWarNews #IranIsraelTensions #BreakingNews #IDFStrike Also Read Avoid Unnecessary Movements: India's Advisory For Nationals As Israel Strikes Iran :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/avoid-unnecessary-movements-indias-advisory-for-nationals-as-israel-strikes-iran-4180249.html?ref=DMDesc Israel Attacks Iran's Nuclear, Missile Sites With Explosions Booming Across Tehran; Hossein Salami Killed :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israel-attacks-irans-capital-with-explosions-booming-across-tehran-hossein-salami-killed-4180211.html?ref=DMDesc Who Is Hossein Salami, Iran's Revolutionary Guards Chief, Killed By Israel? :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/who-is-hossein-salami-iran-revolutionary-guards-chief-killed-by-israel-4180209.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~PR.152~

Wrongful DEATH lawsuit | $5 Million payout to family of Trump supporter Ashli Babbitt’s family

The Trump administration has agreed to pay $5 million to Ashli Babbitt’s family, settling a $30 million wrongful death lawsuit. Babbitt, a Trump supporter and Air Force veteran, was fatally shot by Capitol Police during the January 6 Capitol riot. Though the officer was cleared of wrongdoing, Babbitt's family argued she was unarmed and received no warning. Trump has cast her as a martyr, while Capitol Police expressed disappointment, maintaining the officer acted in self-defense with no laws broken. #AshliBabbitt #Jan6 #CapitolRiots #TrumpNews #WrongfulDeath #USPolitics #CapitolPolice #MartyrDebate #AirForceVeteran #BabbittSettlement #CapitolHill #TrumpSupporter #BabbittLawsuit #JusticeDebate #SelfDefense #PoliceUseOfForce #CapitolShooting #BreakingNews #MartyrNarrative #TrumpReturns #BidenCertification #PoliticalViolence #DCRiots #CivilSettlement #CapitolIncident #HeroOrVictim #USLaw #PoliceNegligence #CongressAttack #CourtSettlement ~GR.125~HT.408~

DGMO Confirms All Pakistani Attacks Failed | 40 Soldiers Killed in Heavy LoC Fire Between May 7–10

In a major update on Operation Sindoor, DGMO Lt. General Rajiv Ghai revealed that Pakistan launched repeated wave-style air attacks targeting Indian airfields and supply dumps between May 7 and May 10. All attacks were successfully thwarted by India’s integrated air defence systems. Meanwhile, heavy retaliatory action along the Line of Control resulted in the reported loss of 35 to 40 Pakistani soldiers due to artillery and small arms fire. This joint Indian Army and Air Force operation marks a significant escalation in India's military posture following the Pahalgam terror attack, reinforcing India's message of zero tolerance for cross-border aggression. #OperationSindoor #DGMOBriefing #IndiaStrikesBack #LoCTensions #PakistanCasualties #WaveAttackFailed #IndianAirDefence #IAFSuccess #MilitaryUpdate #May7to10 #RajivGhai #CrossBorderFire #IndiaDefence #LOCFire #PakistanArmyLosses Also Read India-Pakistan War: DGMO Says India Killed Over 40 Pakistan Army Personnel In Shelling Along LoC :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/india-pakistan-war-dgmo-says-india-killed-over-40-pakistan-army-personnel-in-shelling-along-loc-4150613.html?ref=DMDesc India Strikes JeM HQ In Bahawalpur Hardest In Operation Sindoor: Sources :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/india-strikes-jem-hq-in-bahawalpur-hardest-in-operation-sindoor-sources-4150505.html?ref=DMDesc Operation Sindoor: IAF Executes Missions with Precision, Operations Still Underway :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/operation-sindoor-iaf-executes-missions-with-precision-operations-still-underway-4150345.html?ref=DMDesc

Bhutto FACT-CHECKED at UN Over 'Muslim Vilification' Lie | Journalist EXPOSES Anti-India Claim

Pakistan's Bilawal Bhutto Zardari faced an awkward moment at a UN press briefing after a journalist fact-checked his claim that India was "demonising Muslims" following the Pahalgam terror attack. Bhutto alleged India was politicising the tragedy to vilify Muslims, but the journalist countered with firsthand experience, highlighting Muslim officers leading Indian Army briefings. Bhutto, visibly unsettled, admitted, "You're absolutely right." The episode casts doubt on Pakistan’s narrative as Bhutto leads a diplomatic team to counter India’s global stance post-Operation Sindoor. #BilawalBhutto #UNPressBriefing #IndiaPakistan #OperationSindoor #FactCheck #PahalgamAttack #IndianArmy #PakClaims #IndianMuslims #ColSofiyaQureshi #VyomikaSingh #KashmirIssue #Terrorism #IslamabadDiplomacy #UNNews #GlobalPolitics #PakNarrative #IndiaDefense #IndianMuslimOfficers #PakistanUN #JournalistFactCheck #SouthAsiaNews #BustedAtUN #BhuttoEmbarrassed #KashmirTensions #IndiaPakistanTensions #PPP #BilawalAtUN #BreakingNews #IndiaNarrative #TruthAtUN Also Read Bilawal Bhutto Admits UN Hurdles On Kashmir As Pakistan, India Launch Parallel Diplomacy In US :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/bilawal-bhutto-admits-un-hurdles-on-kashmir-as-pakistan-india-launch-parallel-diplomacy-in-us-4171933.html?ref=DMDesc Team Shashi Tharoor, Bilawal Bhutto To Jostle In US This Week As India And Pakistan Step Up Diplomatic Push :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/team-shashi-tharoor-bilawal-bhutto-to-jostle-in-us-this-week-as-india-and-pakistan-step-up-diplomat-4170769.html?ref=DMDesc United Nations Under-Secretary-General For Peace Operations Praises India :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/united-nations-under-secretary-general-for-peace-operations-praises-india-4168359.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.346~HT.408~GR.125~
