Gaza City bears the scars of relentless conflict, its neighborhoods carved by fire and rubble. Recent images reveal a city under siege: entire blocks of buildings erased, streets hollowed out, and makeshift shelters for displaced families vanished within weeks. The relentless advance of armored vehicles leaves tracks across once-thriving streets, marking a landscape transformed into a battlefield.

The city’s Sheikh Radwan, Zeitoun, and Tuffah districts have endured some of the heaviest damage. In Sheikh Radwan, roughly three kilometers from the city center, high-rises have been reduced to debris, leaving empty spaces where life once thrived. Satellite visuals capture the precise …

Putin Meets Modi And Xi As Russia Secures Oil Partnerships

September 2, 2025 9:40 am

Monday’s meeting between Russia’s Vladimir Putin, China’s Xi Jinping, and India’s Narendra Modi highlighted a rare display of diplomatic solidarity and offered Putin an opportunity to engage directly with his country’s top oil buyers.

India and China have increasingly turned to Russian oil since Western nations imposed sanctions following Moscow’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine. Lower prices, coupled with restricted global trade, drew the two Asian giants to Russian crude, helping sustain Moscow’s economy amid mounting Western pressure.

At the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit in Tianjin, the three leaders discussed strengthening economic ties and coordinating strategies in a forum that …

Trump Claims India Offers Tariff Cuts Amid Trade Tensions

September 2, 2025 9:29 am

US President Donald Trump said India has offered to cut its tariffs “to nothing” even as he described the current trade standoff with the country as “a totally one-sided disaster.”

The remarks come after the United States imposed tariffs of 50% on certain Indian goods last week, including a 25% penalty linked to Delhi’s continued purchase of Russian oil. India has not formally responded to Trump’s latest comments, but tensions over the issue of Russian energy have strained ties between Washington and New Delhi to historic lows.

Trump accused India of benefiting disproportionately in trade, writing that the country sells …

September 1, 2025 7:13 pm

President Donald Trump is standing by his decision to approve 600,000 student visas for Chinese nationals, brushing aside criticism from some of his closest allies who argue the move undercuts his America First message.

In an interview with the Daily Caller, Mr. Trump called it “insulting” to deny entry to students from China, insisting the policy would boost U.S. universities, particularly smaller institutions that rely heavily on international tuition revenue.

“I have a very good relationship with President Xi,” Mr. Trump said, referring to China’s leader. “I think it’s very insulting to a country when you say you’re not going …
