Good news for Israel as THIS European country decides to purchase Iron Dome air defence system, not Germany, France or Italy, name is...
Iron Dome missile shield New Delhi: In a significant development amid the intensifying Russia-Ukraine war, a big European country has decided to acquire the much-talked about Iron Dome air defence system of Israel. For those unversed, the Iron Dome air defence system of Israel is a mobile all-weather air defense system designed to intercept and destroy short-range rockets and artillery shells. In the recent development, the southeastern European country named Romania has decided to purchase the famous air defence system. As part of a broader strategy to enhance national security, Romanian Defence Minister Ionuț Moșteanu has confirmed that the contract for the SHORAD-VSHORAD system is scheduled to be signed in the autumn of 2025, a report by Defence Industry Europe said. Why is Romania buying Iron Dome air defence system? 'These are defensive missile batteries that we don't have, and we need them. If I were to give an example, when we see images from Tel Aviv when the Iranians attack and we see the Iron Dome, that is SHORAD-VSHORAD, and it protects Tel Aviv. It will protect us as well. Whether it's airports, military bases, or, God forbid, we need to defend our cities', the Bulgarian minister was quoted as saying by the report. Speaking to public broadcaster TVR, Moșteanu, the Bulgarian Minister had said that the military procurement currently accounts for nearly 30% of the national defence budget of Bulgaria and Future purchases, including short-range missiles and corvettes will also be made. Bad news for Turkey? 'There is no Black Sea strategy without Turkey. It is the strongest. We will have to take these steps, these discussions, and it will be in the national defence strategy, there will be a Black Sea strategy,' the minister added. Israeli PM Netanyahu nominates US President Trump for Nobel Peace Prize In a significant development after US President Trump hosted Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu for dinner at the White House, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said that he had sent a letter to the Nobel Prize Committee nominating US President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize. The Israeli Prime Minister also claimed that he had personally handed a copy of the nomination letter to Trump during their dinner at the White House. (With inputs from agencies)

Maharashtra: Auto driver assaulted for ‘anti-Marathi' remarks by persons linked to Uddhav Sena
An auto rickshaw driver was assaulted allegedly by a group of unidentified persons believed to be members of the Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) in Maharashtra's Palghar district on Saturday for making 'anti-Marathi' remarks, PTI reported. The driver, a migrant worker living in the Virar area, had earlier been recorded in a purported video in which he allegedly refused to speak Marathi and made 'derogatory' comments about the language, Maharashtra and Marathi icons. The clip was circulated widely online. On Saturday, he was allegedly attacked near Virar railway station by a group that included several women. Another video, showing the assault, was also shared on social media. The attackers reportedly forced the man to publicly apologise to a resident and his sister, accusing him of misbehaving with her earlier, PTI reported. He was also asked to apologise to the state for 'insulting' it and its linguistic and cultural heritage. No case has been registered in the matter so far. An unidentified police official told PTI, 'We have seen the viral video and are verifying the facts, but as of now, no complaint has been received from either party.' Uday Jadhav, a leader from the Uddhav Sena who was present at the scene, told reporters that the party would not remain silent if anyone insulted the Marathi language or people. 'The driver had the audacity to speak ill of Maharashtra and Marathi manoos,' PTI quoted him as saying. 'He was taught a befitting lesson. We made him apologise to the people of the state and to those he had offended.' The incident took place over a week after seven unidentified persons, believed to be members of the Raj Thackeray-led Maharashtra Navnirman Sena, assaulted a shopkeeper in Thane district for not speaking in Marathi. On July 5, suspected workers of the party also vandalised the Mumbai office of entrepreneur Sushil Kedia, a day after he posted on social media that he had lived in the city for 30 years without learning Marathi 'properly'. The incidents took place amid an escalating row in Maharashtra, triggered by the state government's move to make Hindi a 'generally' taught third language for Class 1 to Class 5 in Marathi and English medium schools.
