'We Will Die': Zelensky Rattled Over Trump-Putin Diesel Deal; 'Feeling Betrayed' | Watch

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has delivered a blunt message to US President Donald Trump, admitting that he feels betrayed as Washington's relationship with Kyiv comes under mounting strain. In an explosive interview with British broadcaster Piers Morgan, Zelensky accused Trump of choosing Russia over Ukraine as the US moves ahead with a controversial diesel deal with Moscow. The rift has deepened following Trump's remarks about replacing Zelensky, his announcement of an energy truce between Russia and Ukraine, and threats to cut intelligence support and arms shipments unless Kyiv halts strikes on Russian oil refineries. Zelensky has also warned that restrictions on Ukraine's access to Elon Musk's Starlink satellite internet service could cost lives on the battlefield.

ON CAM: Iran Sinks Ship With 2,500 Containers In US-Approved Strait Of Hormuz Transit Route

Chilling footage from the Strait of Hormuz shows the aftermath of an alleged attack on a container ship, with containers scattered across the water and small boats moving through the wreckage. Iranian media, including Press TV, shared the footage, while Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy claimed the vessel struck a naval mine, triggering an explosion and a severe fire. The ship was reportedly carrying around 2,500 containers when the incident occurred in the southern part of the strategic waterway. The footage offers a glimpse into the growing dangers facing commercial shipping amid the ongoing US-Iran war. Once one of the world's busiest maritime corridors, the Strait of Hormuz has become a major flashpoint, with threats of naval mines, projectile attacks and disruptions to vital shipping routes. Before the war began on February 28, an estimated 125 to 140 large commercial vessels passed through the strait daily.

Mumbai, Oct 15 (PTI) The rupee appreciated 31 paise to 94.86 against the US dollar in early trade on Thursday, supported by the ongoing impact of the Reserve Bank of Indias structural forex interventions and liquidity-tightening measures.
