India sends its first astronaut into space in 41 years
India Celebrates Historic Space Mission: Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla Makes History
Jubilant scenes across India as Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla successfully launched into space aboard the Ax-4 mission — becoming the second Indian in space, and the first to reach NASA’s International Space Station (ISS).
The Ax-4 mission, a collaboration between NASA, ISRO, ESA, SpaceX, and Axiom Space, lifted off from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center with a four-member crew from India, Poland, and Hungary. The mission is led by veteran astronaut Peggy Whitson.
Shukla, 39, an Indian Air Force pilot with over 2,000 hours of flight experience, was one of four officers selected for India’s first human spaceflight mission in 2027. ISRO paid ₹5 billion for his seat and training on this mission.
Shortly after launch, Shukla proudly said:
> “We’re back in space after 41 years... I carry the Indian flag on my shoulder and the hopes of 1.4 billion people.”
His parents, watching from Lucknow with hundreds of students, were moved to tears and applause. Prime Minister Modi praised the mission, calling it the pride of the nation.
Shukla’s historic flight marks a giant leap for India’s space ambitions — aiming for a space station by 2035 and a Moon mission by 2040.

Trump's Iran gamble fraught with risk - at home and abroad
Donald Trump, who returned to the White House promising peace, has instead thrust the U.S. into the heart of the Iran-Israel conflict.
Rather than calming tensions, his leadership now sees the Middle East teetering on the edge of wider war.
In a national address, Trump called the U.S. airstrikes on three Iranian nuclear sites a "spectacular success."
He claimed the strikes could pave the way for lasting peace by halting Iran’s nuclear ambitions.
Iran downplayed the attack, reporting only minor damage to its Fordo site—raising questions about the true impact.
Flanked by key officials, Trump warned of future, harsher strikes if Iran doesn't stop its nuclear program.
He emphasized the U.S. has "many targets left" and promised swift and skilled action.
However, this escalation could trap the U.S. in a prolonged and dangerous conflict.
The UN Secretary General warned the decision may trigger a "spiral of chaos" in the already volatile region.
Iran’s Supreme Leader vowed retaliation, which could ignite a wider military confrontation.

Israel says it killed Iran's military coordinator with Hamas
Israel claims it has killed Saeed Izadi, a senior Iranian commander linked to Hamas's 7 October 2023 attack.
The IDF says he was one of the key planners of the attack that killed about 1,200 Israelis.
Izadi led the Palestine Corps of Iran’s Quds Force, managing ties with Hamas.
He reportedly financed, armed, and coordinated with Hamas leaders.
He had survived a previous Israeli strike in Damascus in April 2024.
On the same day, Israel also killed Behnam Shahriyari, another Quds Force commander.
Shahriyari helped transport weapons to Hamas and Hezbollah.
These strikes mark a major blow to Iran’s Quds Force if confirmed.
Iran hasn't officially acknowledged the deaths yet.
The conflict between Iran and Israel has now entered its ninth day.
