"Hope it will lead to a better future for Middle East": Israeli President thanks US after "precision" strikes in Iran
Tel Aviv [Israel], June 22 (ANI): Israeli President Isaac Herzog on Sunday, thanked US President Donald Trump for the 'brave step' taken by the United States of America in conducting strikes on three nuclear sites of Iran. Herzog said that the strikes show how the principles of 'liberty, responsibility and security' have triumphed, with the American action resulting as a brave step towards the security and safety of the world. He expressed hope that the action would help fasten the release of Israeli hostages and lead to a better future in West Asia. Herzog wrote on X, 'In the pages of human history, this is a moment when the principles of liberty, responsibility, and security have triumphed. A decisive moment between the axis of terror and evil and the axis of hope. Thank you, @POTUS @realDonaldTrump. Thank you, United States of America. This brave step serves the security and safety of the entire free world. I hope it will lead to a better future for the Middle East -- and help advance the urgent release of our hostages held in captivity in Gaza.' \ His remarks follow after Trump announced that United States conducted 'massive precision strikes' on the three key nuclear facilities in Iran- Fordow, Natanz and Esfahan. Trump also threatened of retaliation if peace is not achieved soon in Iran. The Embassy of Iran in India acknowledged that the sites had been hit and called it 'savage aggression--an act in violation of international laws', stressing particularly on the NPT. It further accused the the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) of indifference and complicity and said that it expects the international community to condemn these actions. As per a report in the CNN citing a US official, the US used six B-2 bombers to drop a dozen 'bunker buster' bombs on the Fordow nuclear site. Navy submarines fired 30 TLAM cruise missiles at two other sites, Natanz and Isfahan, and a B2 dropped two bunker busters on Natanz. The underground site at Fordow and the larger Natanz plant were Iran's two primary uranium enrichment facilities, out of which Natanz had already been hit by Israel with smaller weapons earlier in the week, the New York Times reported. The conflict between Israel and Iran entered its ninth day on Saturday, with the US now joining in support of Israel. The conflict started after Israel, on June 13, launched a massive airstrike on Iranian military and nuclear sites, dubbed 'Operation Rising Lion.' In response, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) launched a large-scale drone and missile operation, 'Operation True Promise 3', targeting Israeli fighter jet fuel production facilities and energy supply centres.

"Multiple schemes have zero money like PM Awas Yojna, Jal Jeevan Mission.." :BJD slams BJP govt's first year in Odisha
Bhubaneswar (Odisha) [India] June 22 (ANI): Biju Janata Dal (BJD) leader Bhrugu Baxipatra has criticised the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)- led government for its performance in Odisha during its first year, claiming that the state has not received any substantial benefits. Speaking to the ANI, Baxipatra highlighted that the grant allocated to Odisha has decreased compared to the previous year. He also claimed that several major schemes, including the PM Awas Yojana and Jal Jeevan Mission, have been allocated zero funds. 'One year has been completed, but Odisha received no benefits... The grant that Odisha had to get decreased since last year... Multiple schemes have zero money like PM Awas Yojna, Jal Jeevan Mission...', Baxipatra said on Saturday. The BJD leader also expressed concern over the rising incidents of crimes against women and children in the state, with 15 rapes reported daily and over 26,000 FIRs filed in the past year. 'In the last year, Odisha has topped in atrocities on women and children. 15 rapes are happening each day and 26 to 28 thousand FIRs have been filed,' he added. Further, the BJD leader also expressed concern over the state's health crisis, citing the deaths of over 100 people from cholera and diarrhoea. He claimed that investment in the state has come to a standstill, with a significant drop from Rs 37,000 crores last year to just Rs 40 crores this year. Baxipatra also criticised the BJP government's vision for the state. 'Over 100 people have died from Cholera and Diarrhoea in the state... Investment has stopped - investment of Rs 37,000 crores came in last year, while not even Rs 40 crore was received this year, and Jharkhand has surpassed us in this... We worry that the truth of the state is not somehow reaching the Prime Minister.', Baxipatra stated. The BJD leader slammed the BJP government, saying it lacks vision. 'Odisha has witnessed 16% growth under Naveen Patnaik and according to the present vision document, there will be only 9% growth in 2036 when the state completes 100 years. The government has no vision, it does not know how to function, has no experience in administration and it is not ready to learn... They should take a tutorial class to run this government,' he said. Earlier, it was announced that in the absence of former Odisha Chief Minister and Biju Janata Dal (BJD) president Naveen Patnaik, the duties of the party office will be managed by its Political Affairs Committee. Additionally, Debi Prasad Mishra, Senior Vice President, Headquarters, will oversee the coordination of activities and programmes. The former CM has announced that he will undergo a medical procedure for cervical arthritis in Mumbai. In an office order issued on Wednesday, Patnaik stated that during his absence, the day-to-day affairs of the BJD will be managed by the party's Political Affairs Committee. Additionally, Debi Prasad Mishra, Senior Vice President, Headquarters, has been entrusted with coordinating activities and programmes between the various wings of the party. (ANI)
