Tensions in West Asia have escalated dramatically as Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi issues stern warnings about the far-reaching consequences of the conflict. Araghchi states that the unfolding war will send global shockwaves affecting all nations, regardless of wealth, religion or ethnicity. Recent developments include Iran's cluster missile strikes on Tel Aviv in retaliation for the assassination of top security official Larijani, as confirmed by the IRGC. Major General Abdollahi has warned of devastating retaliatory strikes and "unexpected surprises" if enemies persist. The wave of repercussions from West Asia is now sweeping across the globe, signaling a period of unprecedented geopolitical uncertainty. WATCH

Iran has claimed a historic first — striking a US F-35 stealth fighter jet during an active combat mission, a move that could reshape the narrative around air dominance in the ongoing conflict. A video circulating online appears to show the moment the jet was hit mid-air, with visible smoke and the aircraft veering off course. Iran’s Revolutionary Guard says the strike happened over central Iranian airspace using advanced air defence systems. The United States has confirmed that an F-35 was forced to make an emergency landing after encountering a missile barrage, though officials have not confirmed a direct hit.
