'How long before Vivek...': Conspiracy theorists want Ramaswamy in Elon's 'Indian-dominated' party; wild prediction says Tucker Carlson may run for president
Social media users said Vivek Ramaswamy should join Elon Musk's America Party as there are no actual Americans. As Elon Musk can't contest for presidential election as he was not born in the US, conspiracy theorists worked overtime to find out possible disruptors who could join Elon Musk's America Party and lead it. And the first choice was Vivek Ramaswamy who apparently did not have a good run working as the co-lead of the Department of Government Efficiency along with Elon Musk. But social media users said Vivek Ramaswamy would be the best fit for America Party as it already has no 'actual American' and Vivek will be an addition. Elon Musk earlier promised that he would launch a new party if the 'Big, Beautiful Bill' gets passed. He kept his promise, and not only was it launched, but its paperwork was also done. According to the FEC document, Tesla CFO Vaibhav Taneja was listed as the treasurer. The revelation drew a massive backlash as neither Elon Musk nor Vaibhav is an American, though the name of the party is America Party. Vivek Ramaswamy has been endorsed as the GOP gubernatorial candidate for Ohio and has already raised a record fund in a very short time while the primary is one year away. But Vivek Ramaswamy recently slammed the race-based attack toward NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, while the attack was being led by MAGA. Elon Musk's launching of a new party was seen as a parallel to Vivek Ramaswamy's last year's rant against American culture -- and social media users Sunday concluded that MAGA should not have believed either of them. Tucker Carlson to run for president in 2028? Meanwhile, Trump aide Laura Loomer predicted that Tucker Carlson may run for President in 2028 -- from Elon Musk's party. "There's a reason why he is trying to undermine US foreign policy and present himself as a kingmaker on a global scale," Loomer said. Amid US-Iran-Israel tension, Carlson Saturday announced he would soon air his interview with Iranian president Masoud Pezeshkian. 'We know we'll be criticized for doing this interview. Why did we do it anyway? Well, we did it because we were just at war with Iran 10 days ago, and maybe again,' Carlson said in a preview clip of his show, The Tucker Carlson Show.

Indian-flagged vessels safe for now, all eyes on war escalation
India is closely monitoring developments that may trigger maritime disruptions due to any escalation of the US-Iran-Israel conflict , senior officials said Monday. Indian-flagged vessels and Indian seafarers calling at ports of Iran and transiting through the Strait of Hormuz are advised to exercise due caution while operating in or navigating through the region, they said, citing the June 13 advisory issued by the Directorate General (DG) of Shipping. "Stakeholders are strongly advised to monitor the safety and status of Indian crew onboard vessels operating in Iranian waters," the advisory had said while adding seafarers in Iran are requested to remain vigilant, avoid unnecessary movement, and follow the Indian embassy's official social media handles.

Of these around one or two are Indian-flagged vessels. Live Events "There is no imminent threat to Indian flagged vessels since we have good relations with both Israel and Iran," a senior official told ET. Tensions have heightened in West Asia after the United States attacked Iranian nuclear facilities in the weekend. Iran has threatened retaliation despite calls from Western nations for restraint. Israel, too, is showing no signs of backing down. Sector watchers say while tensions persist, there are currently no indications of imminent threats to commercial shipping in the region. "Multiple vessels from unaligned nations have successfully navigated the Strait of Hormuz without incident, a positive sign for the near future," an official said. A bigger concern is persistently high levels of electronic interference, particularly affecting Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), continue to plague the area. "Electronic interference originating from the Port of Bandar Abbas is excessively affecting the Central Arabian Gulf. In response, some vessels are opting to transit the Strait of Hormuz during daylight hours," a sector watcher said.

Qatar warns of retaliation after Iranian strike on US Base in Doha: ‘We reserve the right to respond'
Tensions in the Middle East spiked further on Monday night (June 23) after Iran confirmed that it had launched strikes on the Al Udeid Air Base in Doha, Qatar — home to US Central Command's regional headquarters — in retaliation for American attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities. Iranian state television declared the assault as a 'mighty and successful response by the armed forces of Iran to America's aggression'. Qatar responded swiftly, denouncing the Iranian strike and emphasising its right to defend its sovereignty. 'Qatar reserves the right to respond directly and in accordance with international law,' a government statement said on late Monday. Despite its close ties with both Tehran and Washington, Doha has grown increasingly concerned over being caught in the crossfire of the expanding US-Iran-Israel conflict. In a statement aimed at calming its Gulf neighbor, Iran's Supreme National Security Council said: 'This action does not pose any threat to our friendly and brotherly neighbor Qatar.' Qatar's Ministry of Defence confirmed that its air defenses successfully intercepted a missile targeting the Al-Udeid Air Base, home to the US Central Command. In a statement, the ministry said there were no casualties or injuries, crediting the 'vigilance of the armed forces' and prior precautionary measures for averting harm. It reassured the public that the country's airspace and territory remain secure, adding that the Qatari Armed Forces are fully prepared to address any threat. Citizens and residents were urged to rely on official sources for updates and guidance. Prior to the strike, Qatar preemptively closed its airspace amid Iranian threats. The US and the UK embassies all urged their nationals to shelter in place. 'Out of an abundance of caution we recommend American citizens shelter in place until further notice,' the US Embassy in Doha stated. 'We would like to reassure the public that the security situation in the state remains stable,' said Majed al-Ansari, spokesperson for Qatar's Foreign Ministry, adding that foreign embassy alerts did 'not necessarily reflect the existence of specific or credible threats.' Satellite imagery shows US troop movement Satellite images taken by Planet Labs and analyzed by AFP show a sharp drawdown in visible aircraft at Al Udeid Air Base. On June 5, nearly 40 military planes were parked on the tarmac. By June 19, only three remained — indicating a possible precautionary repositioning by the US. In neighboring Bahrain, host to the US Navy's Fifth Fleet, the American Embassy announced it had 'temporarily shifted a portion of its employees to local telework.' Bahraini officials also directed most government workers to stay home due to 'regional circumstances.' The Iran-US confrontation comes as Israel intensifies its war campaign against Iran. Israeli strikes Monday hit symbolic targets in Tehran — including the notorious Evin prison and roads near the Fordo nuclear enrichment site. 'The Iranian dictator will be punished with full force for attacking the Israeli home front,' said Israel's Defense Ministry. While Israel insists it is not aiming for regime change in Tehran, its operations have moved deeper into the Iranian heartland. Trump weighs in: 'Why not regime change?' President Donald Trump, who authorised the recent US strikes, escalated rhetoric further on Monday. 'If the current Iranian Regime is unable to MAKE IRAN GREAT AGAIN, why wouldn't there be a Regime change???' he posted on Truth Social.
