Israel accuses China of helping Iran to rebuild its ballistic missiles programme, warns Beijing as it says..., its ambassador to US...
New Delhi: There has been a long-standing tension between Israel and Iran. Even though the war between the two countries has stopped, the sharp rhetoric is still going on. Meanwhile, Israel has claimed that China is helping Iran rebuild its ballistic missile program. Israel's ambassador to the US, Dr. Michael Leiter, has warned China that this is a very worrying sign. What did the Israeli ambassador say? The ambassador said, 'While we have succeeded in causing considerable damage to the program, it is now our responsibility to ensure that negative elements, especially China, do not help Iran rebuild it.' He also said that he was referring to reports of chemical precursors for missile fuel being sent from China to Iran, aimed at making the restoration of the missile array possible. The Israel Iran conflict Let us tell you that the war between Israel and Iran escalated significantly last month. The Israeli army targeted Iran's ballistic missile program, including launchers. Iran responded to the Israeli attacks that began on June 13 by firing more than 370 ballistic missiles at Israel in the first four days of the war. When USA and Iran launched attacks on each other The war between the two continued for several days, in which America also entered later. In coordination with Israel, the United States launched a series of strikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities: Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. These attacks, part of Operation Midnight Hammer, involved the use of B-2 stealth bombers carrying bunker buster bombs and submarine-launched Tomahawk missiles. The strikes targeted facilities involved in uranium enrichment and nuclear research, with the goal of crippling Iran's nuclear programme. Following these attacks, Iran launched missiles at Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar on 23 June 2025, in retaliation for the United States strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities on 22 June as part of the Iran–Israel war. The attack, codenamed Operation Glad Tidings of Victory, followed a 16 June drone attack by Iran on the US consulate in Erbil, Iraq.

BJP slams TG govt for ‘failure' to utilise central funds
Hyderabad: Bharatiya Janata Party state unit spokesperson Amarnath Sarangula has launched a scathing attack on the Congress-led state government headed by Chief Minister Revanth Reddy. He claimed serious inefficiency and negligence in using central funds meant for the welfare and development of Telangana. Addressing the media on Saturday, Sarangula said, 'The Centre has been proactive in releasing funds to Telangana, but the incompetent Congress government is failing to utilize them. Instead of blaming the Modi government every day, Chief Minister Revanth Reddy should reflect on his government's shortcomings.' He pointed out that Rs. 2,016 crore under various central schemes remained unutilized in the state government's bank accounts, as revealed in the recent CAG quarterly report. The BJP leader criticized the state's management of public finances and asserted that, due to a lack of reforms and administrative inefficiency, Telangana had missed out on significant financial opportunities. 'Around Rs. 40,000 crore is being missed out because of the state's inability to implement citizen-centric reforms,' he noted, adding that this included Rs. 5,000 crore annually due to unimplemented power sector reforms. Delay in conducting Gram Panchayat elections had caused a loss of Rs. 1,500 crore in Finance Commission grants, he stated. Sarangula revealed that between 2020-21 and February 2025, the Centre released an impressive Rs. 78,859.87 crore to Telangana, yet large amounts remained idle each year. 'The Congress government's poor financial management had led to a loss of Rs. 7,857 crore in borrowing capacity and Rs. 5,000 crore in matching grants for central schemes,' he said. Criticizing the outgo for Hyderabad Metro Phase-2, Sarangula highlighted that the estimated cost of Rs. 24,269 crore (Rs. 318 crore per km) was 30% higher than that of similar projects elsewhere. He called for clarity and transparency from the state. Citing further inefficiencies, he pointed to under-utilization in key welfare schemes such as Minority Welfare, tuition fee reimbursement, and the 'Shaadi Mubarak' scheme. 'A double-engine government is the need of the hour to ensure Telangana's growth and optimal use of central funds,' Sarangula commented.
