'NOT NUKE, BUT 15,000 KM!': Iran's Longest-Range Weapon Plan Out, US Caught Off Guard?

A stunning threat from Iranian cleric Abdolnabi Mousavifard has triggered fresh alarm over Tehrans missile ambitions. During Friday prayers in Ahvaz on August 7, Mousavifard reportedly said Iran is preparing to extend its missile range to 15,000 kilometresa range that could theoretically put the continental United States within reach. Mousavifard also called for revenge and urged the destruction of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, while claiming Irans missiles can already reach Jerusalem. Iran is widely believed to possess the Middle Easts largest and most diverse missile arsenal, with thousands of ballistic and cruise missiles. Tehran has also built extensive underground missile cities and invested heavily in drones, hypersonic systems and electronic warfare.

SC reserves order on Abu Salem's plea for release after 25 years in jail

The Supreme Court on Monday reserved its order on gangster Abu Salem's plea seeking release from prison, in which he argued that he has completed the maximum 25-year jail term permitted under the India-Portugal extradition agreement. During the hearing, the bench questioned his claim that remission could be counted towards the 25-year limit, while Salem's counsel argued his undertrial custody and earned remission should be considered. The Bombay High Court had earlier rejected his plea, saying the 25-year term would end only in November 2030.

Will not bow to US bullying: Araghchi rejects Washington's pressure tactics at SCO summit

Bishkek, July 25: Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi reaffirmed that Tehran will refuse to cave to American pressure or intimidation, asserting that the country will not submit to coercion or force. According to a report by Press TV, while speaking to journalists following a meeting of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) Council of Foreign Ministers in Cholpon-Ata, Kyrgyzstan, Araghchi addressed discussions regarding diplomatic channels. Asked about bilateral exchanges on the sidelines, he stated that the principal barrier between Tehran and Washington is not a lack of communication pathways, but rather the United States' persistent reliance on ullying and coercion. Iran has shown that it will not bow to US bullying and will under no circumstances respond to the language of force, pressure, and threats, Araghchi stressed. He noted that holding talks with Pakistan, which serves as a mediating party, concerning various proposals was a natural step. Outlining Tehran's core stance, Araghchi added, Protecting the Iranian people and protecting Iran's interests in the Strait of Hormuz are among our principles. As long as the rightful objectives and demands of the Iranian people are not realized, we will naturally continue our path, he stated, adding, We are not afraid of threats, nor will we succumb to pressure, and we do not tolerate the language of threats. Araghchi observed that Iran's armed forces on the front lines and its diplomats on the international stage are executing complementary roles in service of the nation. He urged member states of the SCO, which he characterised as a progressive organisation, to counter the unilateralist agenda of Washington and Western bodies seeking to dominate international relations. During the summit, Araghchi met with his counterparts from Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Pakistan, Egypt, Uzbekistan, and China on the sidelines. He noted holding detailed talks with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, confirming that Tehran maintains ongoing coordination with Beijing and Moscow. In his main address, Araghchi called on the SCO to take a strong stance against unilateralism, champion international law, and advocate for state sovereignty. Araghchi's remarks come as the US military has conducted air raids across the country for 13 consecutive nights. According to an informed official cited by Fars news agency, the US military targeted an LPG tanker entering from the direction of the Sea of Oman by launching two missiles, believing the vessel was attempting to transfer Iranian gas. Meanwhile, Fars reported that the US Ali Al-Salem Air Base in Kuwait was struck by a drone, and the headquarters of separatist groups in Erbil, Iraq, were targeted by several airstrikes. Additionally, Press TV reported that three explosions rocked the US-run al-Juffair military base in Bahrain. Meanwhile, issuing a stern warning, Major General Abdollahi, commander of Iran's Khatam Al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, stated that from this moment onward, for every Iranian martyred, one American soldier will be targeted, adding, We have prepared free and direct tickets to hell for you. This comes as American military posture in the region remains active. On Thursday, CENTCOM said that its forces successfully completed another round of strikes against Iran targeting its military assets, marking the 13th consecutive night of operations, while injuring at least two people in the Bandar Abbas region of the Islamic Republic. In retaliation, the Iranian Army on Friday carried out a fresh wave of drone strikes targeting US military bases in Kuwait, Bahrain and Jordan under its ongoing Operation Lightning. (ANI)
