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.

Iranian Drones SHOT DOWN by French Rafales | France ADMITS Military Action in Israel-Iran War [Video]

Iranian Drones SHOT DOWN by French Rafales | France ADMITS Military Action in Israel-Iran War

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. #France #RafaleJets #IranAttack #TelAvivUnderAttack #IranIsraelConflict #IranStrikesHaifa #HaifaPort #MissileStrike #TelAvivExplosions #IsraelIranWar #IronDome #IDF #MiddleEastCrisis #TehranRetaliation #AyatollahKhamenei #IsraelDefense #TelAvivMissiles #IranMissileStrike #IsraelUnderFire #TelAvivSkyline #MilitaryTensions #IDFHeadquarters #IsraelVsIran #BreakingNews #MissileDefense #IsraelNews #IranNews #WarUpdates #TelAvivAttack #IsraelStrikesIran #IsraelIranWar Also Read From Hanoi With Drama: Did France’s First Lady Just Slap The President? :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/from-hanoi-with-drama-did-france-s-first-lady-just-slap-the-president-4164443.html?ref=DMDesc Rafale Marine Deal: India and France Strengthen Naval Forces with Rs 63,000 Crore Agreement :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/rafale-marine-deal-india-and-france-strengthen-naval-forces-with-rs-63000-crore-agreement-4137163.html?ref=DMDesc India-France $10 Billion Defense Deals: Rafale Jets & Scorpene Submarines On the Horizon :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/india-france-10-billion-defense-deals-rafale-jets-scorpene-submarines-on-the-horizon-4034341.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.420~GR.124~

Pakistan Flood HORROR: 300+ Dead As Floods Turn North Pakistan Into Graveyard | Rescue Underway

Pakistan Flood HORROR: Pakistan is reeling from catastrophic monsoon floods that have killed at least 321 people in just 48 hours, the National Disaster Management Authority confirmed on Saturday. Most of the victims—307—were in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, where flash floods swept away entire villages and homes. Nine deaths were reported in Pakistan-administered Kashmir and five in Gilgit-Baltistan. Torrential rains, landslides, and washed-out roads are crippling rescue efforts, with more rainfall forecast. The provincial government has declared Buner, Bajaur, Swat, Shangla, Mansehra, and Battagram disaster-hit zones. Over 2,000 rescuers are working relentlessly, often on foot, to reach survivors trapped in debris, as machinery and ambulances struggle to reach cut-off areas. Many families refuse to evacuate, mourning loved ones buried beneath rubble. The government has issued an urgent rain alert, warning of more devastation to come. International attention is now on Pakistan’s fragile infrastructure and the scale of this unfolding humanitarian disaster. #PakistanFloods #MonsoonDisaster #ClimateCrisis #KhyberPakhtunkhwa #PakistanNews #FloodTragedy #DisasterRelief #BreakingNews #MonsoonPakistan #GlobalNews #ClimateDisaster #RescueEfforts #HumanitarianCrisis #SouthAsiaFloods #FlashFloods #DisasterUpdate #PakistanRain #FloodVictims #ExtremeWeather #ClimateEmergency ~HT.410~ED.346~GR.124~
