India can play greater role in West Asia peace: Iran FM Araghchi
New Delhi [India], May 15 : Highlighting New Delhis growing influence as a global peacemaker, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi on Friday asserted that India can play a greater role in de-escalating the volatile situation in West Asia. Addressing a press conference in the national capital following a meeting of the BRICS Foreign Ministers, Araghchi made it clear that Tehran sees no future in armed conflict. He stated that there is no military solution to the current crisis and that a negotiated settlement remains the only viable path forward. Underscoring Tehrans openness to Indian mediation, he remarked, We will welcome any constructive role by India. This outreach comes as West Asia remains locked in a cold, precarious stalemate following the eruption of hostilities on February 28, which pitted the combined forces of the United States and Israel against Iran. Although a fragile ceasefire currently holds, the region is defined by a high-stakes maritime tug-of-war within the strategic Strait of Hormuz. This vital artery of global commerce has become the primary battleground of a shifting energy war. In a bid to cripple Tehrans economic lifeline, the US has enforced a stringent naval blockade designed to choke off Iranian petroleum exports. In a retaliatory display of brinkmanship, Iran has imposed its own severe restrictions, partially shuttering the shipping lane to global traffic. Describing the current maritime status as very complicated, Araghchi stated that Iran is prepared to assist the passage of vessels, provided they are not at war with Tehran and coordinate directly with the Iranian navy. The consequences of this dual stranglehold have rippled across the planet, triggering massive spikes in international fuel prices. This has left the global energy market in a state of sustained, volatile disruption as the standoff continues to reshape regional and global trade. Against this backdrop, Araghchi noted that any potential dialogue with the United States is currently suffering from trust. Expressing a blunt assessment of the deadlock, he said, Iran has every reason not to trust the US, while Americans have every reason to trust us, adding that contradictory messages from Washington have fuelled Iranian scepticism. While Araghchi confirmed that Iran is attempting to maintain the truce to give diplomacy a chance, he warned that the Islamic Republic is equally prepared to go back to fighting should negotiations collapse. While acknowledging that existing mediation efforts through other regional players are in difficulty, the Foreign Ministers focus remained firmly on Indias potential to bridge the gap. He further reiterated that Tehran never wanted nuclear weapons, despite rising pressure from Washington. Araghchis comments follow recent statements from US President Donald Trump, who indicated that his patience with Iran was running out and demanded the immediate reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.

New Delhi Must Return Statehood without Delay: Dr Farooq
RK News Service Srinagar: May, 15: The Jammu and Kashmir National Conference President Dr. Farooq Abdullah on Friday urged the Centre to restore full statehood to Jammu and Kashmir and return complete administrative powers to the elected government, saying the move was essential for ensuring accountable, responsive and people-oriented governance in the Union Territory. He made these comments while addressing a gathering at Anantnag. Dr. Farooq said the people of Jammu and Kashmir have decisively expressed their will through the ballot and their democratic mandate must be respected without delay. He said elected representatives are fully aware of the geographical realities, local challenges and developmental needs of their respective areas because they remain in constant touch with the people at the grassroots level. A representative government listens, responds and acts according to the aspirations of the people, whereas bureaucratic systems often remain distant from public sentiment and ground realities, he said. Dr. Farooq said despite numerous challenges and constraints, the present National Conference government led by Omar Abdullah has remained steadfast in its commitment towards public welfare and pro-people governance. He said NC legislators continue to stay among the people, share their concerns, listen to their grievances and actively pursue solutions to their problems. Our workers and representatives are not disconnected from the masses. They stand with the people in times of difficulty and work tirelessly to ensure that public issues are resolved effectively, he said. Reiterating the demand for restoration of statehood, Dr. Farooq urged the Central Government to honour the commitments made to the people of Jammu and Kashmir. He questioned the continued delay in restoring statehood despite repeated assurances given before Parliament and the Supreme Court that it would be reinstated soon after the elections.

Want To Play Cricket And Carry On, Playing A World Cup For India Is Amazing, Says Kohli
ODI World Cup: Talismanic India batter Virat Kohli has reaffirmed his commitment to feature in the 2027 Mens ODI World Cup, saying he continues to prepare with the same zeal and discipline to play cricket and that being in a mega event will be an amazing prospect. Were in mid-2026. I have been asked many times, Do you want to play in 2027? Why would I leave home, get my stuff over and be like I dont know what I want. Of course, if Im playing, I want to play cricket, I want to carry on. Playing a World Cup for India is amazing, said Kohli in an episode of the RCB podcast released on Friday. Despite retiring from T20Is in 2024 and Test cricket in 2025, Kohli remains a vital figure in Indias ODI setup. With 54 centuries and 14,797 runs in the format, Kohli is the second-highest run-getter in ODIs and has already featured in four World Cups, including the victorious 2011 campaign on home soil. Today, my perspective is very clear. If I can add value to the environment that I'm a part of and the environment feels like I can add value, I'll be seen. If I'm made to feel like I need to prove my worth and my value, I'm not in that space. Because I'm being honest with my preparation. I'm being honest to how I approach the game. I put my head down. I work hard. I'm very thankful to god for giving me everything that I've been given in my cricketing career. I feel very blessed and grateful for the opportunity. And when I arrive to play, I put my head down, I work as hard, if not harder, than anyone else. And I play the game the right way. You want me to run from boundary to boundary for 40 overs in an ODI game, I will do that without a complaint. Because I prepare accordingly. I prepare for the fact that I will field 50 overs every ball like it's the last ball I'm going to play in my career, and I will bat that way and I will run between the wickets that way, and I will do everything possible for the team. After operating like this, if I have to be in a place where I have to prove my worth and value, that place is not meant to be for me. And I am very clear in my head from that perspective, he elaborated. Apart from playing for RCB in the IPL, Kohli featured for his state side, Delhi in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, where he made scores of 131 and 77. The right-handed batter has also scored three hundreds and as many fifties in his last seven ODI innings against New Zealand, South Africa and Australia. I'm at this stage in life, my career where I'm just doing things, even playing cricket, it gets to a stage which goes beyond numbers and achievements and all those kind of things. It's like a full circle feeling when you start off with just pure enjoyment of the game and then you set out with some goals in your mind and you achieve goal after goal and then through that whole journey you feel like Oh this is the big thing. But then you wake up the next morning, it's still going on, it's still not over. I'm at this stage in life, my career where I'm just doing things, even playing cricket, it gets to a stage which goes beyond numbers and achievements and all those kind of things.
