Massive Twin Blasts, Cars Hurled In The Air: Israeli Strikes In Busy Tehran Street
Last Updated: The purported CCTV footage, which is doing the rounds on social media, shows twin explosions in a busy city street with buildings and moving traffic on the roads Iranian media has released footage of an explosion, which it claimed was of two simultaneous Israeli strikes in Tehran. The CCTV footage, which could not be confirmed by News18, is doing the rounds on social media. The purported video shows twin explosions in a busy city street with buildings and moving traffic on the roads. It can be seen in the video that the explosions cause a number of cars with passengers inside to be hurled in the air as the video ends in a cloud of debris raining from the blast. Iranian media released CCTV footage showing the two simultaneous Israeli strikes in northern Tehran hitting a building sideways and on the road directly hitting civilian vehicles in is in Tajrish, District 1, north Tehran.📍 35.8049358, 51.4344565 — Qais Alamdar (@Qaisalamdar) July 3, 2025 The purported strikes on Tehran were reportedly part of the 12-day air assault conducted under Operation 'Rising Lion' by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) earlier this month. According to the Pentagon, the recent Israeli and American strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities have pushed back Tehran's atomic ambitions by up to two years. 'We have degraded their programme by one to two years at least," Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said. 'We're thinking probably closer to two years." The Israeli operation, which involved over 125 US aircraft — including B-2 stealth bombers, fighter jets, and aerial tankers — targeted Iran's nuclear infrastructure at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. In parallel, a US-guided missile submarine launched Tomahawk cruise missiles at a third facility. Israel launched preemptive strikes against Iranian nuclear sites on June 13, citing intelligence that Tehran had reached 'a point of no return" in its pursuit of nuclear weapons. According to Israeli defence officials, Iran has developed the capacity to rapidly enrich uranium and assemble nuclear bombs, with sufficient fissile material for up to 15 weapons. The strikes marked a dramatic escalation in what officials describe as a broader Iranian strategy combining nuclear development, missile proliferation, and proxy warfare aimed at Israel's destruction. A US-brokered ceasefire went into effect on June 24. Location : Tehran, Iran First Published:

Dream to nightmare: Illegal immigrant from Haryana duped by agent; returns after 15-month US ordeal
When 27-year-old Vishal left his village of Nandgarh in Haryana's Yamuna Nagar district in April 2024, he carried with him the hopes of his family and a dream - to make it big in the United States. What he did not know was that the journey would lead him through jungles, jails, and the very edge of survival. Videos of Vishal being handcuffed and pinned down by US immigration officers at Newark International Airport last month had sparked outrage and confusion online. Many assumed he was a student. But he was an illegal immigrant for sure. But the truth, however, is far more complex and heartbreaking. Tracked down by this reporter on Wednesday, a visibly shaken Vishal had returned to his village just a week ago, on June 26, after 15 harrowing months. He is not a student, but a farmer, a Class 10 pass-out who once tilled his family's land. And he had been duped out of Rs 45 lakh by a Karnal-based agent who promised him an American work visa. 'My family sold our land to pay the agent,' Vishal said quietly. 'He told us I'd first go to Europe and then be taken to the US through Central America. One of our relatives in Italy helped me get a nine-month farm visa. I reached Verona, stayed there for eight days, and then flew to Rome.'

Gold, lies and eBay: US novelist, 80, accused of selling stolen gold from 18th century shipwreck
What began as a glittering underwater mystery off the coast of France has turned into an international legal matter, the one now involving an 80-year-old American novelist and her husband. Eleonora 'Gay' Courter, a Florida based writer known for her marine themed fiction and her 82-year-old husband, Philip, are facing the possibility of standing trial in France according to The Guardian. Authorities accuse the couple of illegally selling gold bars stolen from an 18th century shipwreck Le Prince de Conty, a French trading vessel that sank in 1746 near Brittany. The vessel which had been on a voyage from Asia was discovered in 1974 and partially dug out by French archaeologists. The site revealed valuable Chinese porcelain, tea crates, and gold bars until a violent storm in 1985 scattered the wreck and halted official recovery efforts. However, the treasure apparently caught illegal attention long before that. In 2018, suspicions arose when head of France's underwater archaeology department Michel L'Hour, spotted five gold bars being auctioned on a US website. He contacted authorities who seized the items and returned them to France in 2022. The seller was identified as Eleonora Courter. Courter maintained she had received the gold from French contact, including 78-year-old Annette May Pesty, who once claimed on Antiques Roadshow that she found the treasure while diving off Cape Verde. However, investigators traced the origin of the gold ingots back to Pesty's brother-in-law, Yves Gladu, an underwater photographer with a long history of clandestine dives at the Prince de Conty site. In a 2022 confession, Gladu admitted retrieving 16 gold bars over a 23 year period between 1976 and 1999. He claimed to have sold them all to a Swiss retiree in 2006, denying any involvement with the Courters' stash. Yet investigators allege the Courters had access to at least 23 bars and sold 18 of them some on eBay netting nearly 200,000 dollars. The couple insisted the proceeds were meant for Gladu and said they had no idea the items were stolen. Their attorney, Gregory Levy, said they were nice people who were misled. 'They didn't see the harm, as US laws regarding gold ownership differ greatly from French regulations,' he said, adding that the couple did not profit personally from the sales. The Courters were arrested in the UK in 2022 and placed under house arrest. French prosecutors in Brest have since recommended a trial for the couple, Gladu, and Pesty. A judge is expected to rule on the matter soon, with proceedings likely to begin in late 2026. Courter has authored several novels and nonfiction works many set on the high seas including a memoir about being quarantined on a cruise ship during the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020.
