Ceasefire Under Threat? Iran Doubts Israel's Commitment, Says 'Finger On The Trigger…' | DETAILS
Iran's top military commander has warned that the Islamic Republic does not trust Israel to honor the current ceasefire, just six days after a brutal 12-day air war. In a call with Saudi Arabia's defense minister, Gen. Abdolrahim Mousavi said Iran remains on alert and ready to respond with force if provoked. The conflict, which began with Israeli strikes on Iranian nuclear and military sites, killed top commanders and triggered a massive Iranian missile-and-drone retaliation that left dozens dead in Israel. Despite the truce, both sides are bracing for further escalation as distrust and regional tensions remain high.#IranChinaDeal #MiddleEastTensions #AirPowerShift #MilitaryStrategy #Geopolitics #DefenseNews #GlobalSecurity #J10C #ChengduJ10C #FighterJets #AirForceModernization #IranIsraelConflict #PersianGulfCrisis #IranAirForce #IDFStrikes

Protests In Turkey After Magazine Accused Of Drawing Prophet Muhammad Cartoon In Istanbul
Turkish authorities have detained three staff members of the satirical magazine Leman over a cartoon that depicted a Muslim man named Muhammad and a Jewish man named Moses shaking hands above a war-torn scene. The image sparked outrage among government officials and religious conservatives who claimed it depicted the Prophet Muhammad. Protests erupted in Istanbul, with clashes between demonstrators and police. Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya confirmed the arrests and condemned the cartoon. Leman issued an apology, stating that the character was a fictional civilian victim of Israeli attacks, not the Islamic prophet. The magazine said no disrespect toward Islam was intended, while tensions remain high across the country.#ProphetMuhammad #CartoonControversy #HumanRights #SatireCrisis #ViralNews #WhatHappened #WatchThis #SocialUnrest #ClashesInIstanbul

Iran-linked hackers threaten to release Trump aides' emails
Iran-linked hackers have threatened to disclose more emails stolen from U.S. President Donald Trump's circle, after distributing a prior batch to the media ahead of the 2024 U.S. election. In online chats with Reuters on Sunday (June 29, 2025) and Monday (June 30, 2025), the hackers, who go by the pseudonym Robert, said they had roughly 100 gigabytes of emails from the accounts of White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, Mr. Trump's lawyer Lindsey Halligan, Mr. Trump's Adviser Roger Stone and porn star-turned-Mr. Trump antagonist Stormy Daniels. Robert raised the possibility of selling the material but otherwise did not provide details of their plans. The hackers did not describe the content of the emails. U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi described the intrusion as "an unconscionable cyber-attack." The White House and the FBI responded with a statement from FBI Director Kash Patel, who said: "Anyone associated with any kind of breach of national security will be fully investigated and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law." Ms. Halligan, Mr. Stone, a representative for Ms. Daniels and the U.S. cyberdefense agency CISA did not respond to requests for comment. Iran's mission to the United Nations did not return a message seeking comment. Tehran has in the past denied committing cyberespionage. Robert materialized in the final months of the 2024 presidential campaign, when they claimed to have breached the email accounts of several Mr. Trump allies, including Mr. Wiles. The hackers then distributed emails to journalists. Reuters previously authenticated some of the leaked material, including an email that appeared to document a financial arrangement between Mr. Trump and lawyers representing former presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. - now Mr. Trump's Health Secretary. Other material included Mr. Trump's campaign communication about Republican office-seekers and discussion of settlement negotiations with Ms/ Daniels. Although the leaked documents did garner some coverage last year, they did not fundamentally alter the presidential race, which Mr. Trump won. The U.S. Justice Department in a September 2024 indictment alleged that Iran's Revolutionary Guards ran the Robert hacking operation. In conversations with Reuters, the hackers declined to address the allegation. After Mr. Trump's election, Robert told Reuters that no more leaks were planned. As recently as May, the hackers told Reuters, "I am retired, man." But the group resumed communication after this month's 12-day air war between Israel and Iran, which was capped by U.S. bombing of Iran's nuclear sites. In messages this week, Robert said they were organizing a sale of stolen emails and wanted Reuters to "broadcast this matter." American Enterprise Institute scholar Frederick Kagan, who has written about Iranian cyberespionage, said Tehran suffered serious damage in the conflict and its spies were likely trying to retaliate in ways that did not draw more U.S. or Israeli action. "A default explanation is that everyone's been ordered to use all the asymmetric stuff that they can that's not likely to trigger a resumption of major Israeli/U.S. military activity," he said. "Leaking a bunch more emails is not likely to do that." Despite worries that Tehran could unleash digital havoc, Iran's hackers took a low profile during the conflict. U.S. cyber officials warned on Monday that American companies and critical infrastructure operators might still be in Tehran's crosshairs.

Iran set to buy Chinese J-10C fighter jets after Israeli drubbing
Last month, when dozens of Israeli and American warplanes swarmed Iranian skies and unleashed a bombing campaign, Iran's air force was nowhere in sight. Iran couldn't intercept much, and the air force didn't even scramble its jets. Days after the Israeli and American aerial offensive on Iran, reports suggest Tehran is now set to purchase Chinese Chengdu J-10C fighter jets, which is hosting an ageing and underfunded fleet. The move by Tehran to opt for the cheaper Chinese jets compatible with the PL-15 missiles, used by Pakistan's air force, comes after its deal with Russia for fighter jets made no has intensified negotiations with China to acquire the Chengdu J-10C, a 4.5-generation multirole fighter jet, after a failed deal with Russia for Su-35 aircraft, reported The Moscow Times, and Ukrainian news agency RBC which was earlier eyeing the twin-engine Russian Su-35, is now opting for the Chinese single-engine J-10C, a jet that is cheaper by nearly $40–60 million per unit, amid delays in Russian deliveries. With just four of the promised 50 Su-35 jets delivered since the 2023 contract, sanctions-hit Iran is now eyeing the Chinese J-10C, the same jet China's "iron brother" Pakistan had deployed against India during the mini-war in May.

Israel deployed F-35I Adir, F-16I Sufa, and F-15I Ra'am jets to strike Iran's nuclear sites, missile bases, and military infrastructure. (Image: AFP) advertisementWHY IRAN FAILED TO BUY CHENGDU-MADE J-10 EARLIERIran's interest in the J-10 dates back nearly two decades. In 2015, talks began for a deal involving 150 jets, but it fell through as China demanded payment in foreign currency, while cash-strapped Tehran could offer just oil and gas instead. The UN arms embargo on Iran at the time further stalled the agreement, reported Ukrainian news agency RBC Ukraine.A May 2025 report by Forbes suggests that Iran was interested in purchasing 36 J-10Cs from recently, around the time of the 2023 Hamas attack on Israel, Iran announced that it had finalised a deal with Moscow to acquire Sukhoi Su-35 fighter jets, Mi-28 attack helicopters, S-400 air-defense systems, and Yak-130 trainer aircraft. However, the only equipment Iran actually received from the deal was the training jets, according to a report in The Washington of 2025, Iran's Air Force has a vulnerable fleet of around 150 fighter jets, primarily Cold War-era American aircraft acquired before the 1979 Islamic Revolution, and some Soviet jets. These include F-4 Phantoms, F-5E/F Tigers, F-14A Tomcats, and MiG-29s. Though much of Tehran's fighter fleet is outdated and largely unserviceable, according to The Military Balance 2025, an open-source report by the London-based International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS).J-10 FIGHTER JETS CAN FIRE SUPERSONIC PL-15 MISSILESadvertisementThe J-10C, developed by China's Chengdu Aerospace Corporation, could very well be a significant upgrade for Iran's air force. The J-10C variant Iran is seeking, equipped with an AESA radar and PL-15 long-range missiles, may offer Iran enhanced manoeuvrability and multirole capabilities, to some extent comparable to some of Israel's frontline J-10C, referred to as the "Vigorous Dragon", is one of China's most advanced fourth-generation fighter jets, which helped its air force transition from older by a Chinese-made WS-10 engine, the aircraft has a delta wing-canard configuration, which offers superior agility in dogfights. What makes the J-10C particularly formidable is its active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar, which improves target tracking and resistance to jamming. Its compatibility with beyond-visual-range missiles like the PL-15, which reportedly outranges some Western counterparts, gives it the ability to strike targets from a deal, if finalised, will mark a shift in Tehran-Beijing defence ties, even as Moscow, another ally of the camp, appeared to have distanced itself from Iran in the wake of Israeli and American airstrikes.- EndsTune InMust Watch
