Following the Pahalgam terror attack and India¡¯s successful Operation Sindoor, the government has launched a global diplomatic offensive. Seven all-party parliamentary delegations, including leaders like Shashi Tharoor, Ravi Shankar Prasad, Kanimozhi, and Supriya Sule, will visit 33 nations and the EU headquarters in Brussels. The mission: to expose Pakistan¡¯s long-standing support for terrorism and reinforce India¡¯s zero-tolerance stance on terror. These delegations will carry a detailed dossier outlining Pakistan's role in attacks like 26/11 Mumbai, the Pahalgam massacre, and its links to global incidents such as 9/11 and the 2005 London bombings. They aim to counter Pakistan¡¯s narrative as it prepares to join the UN Security Council. India will present its new approach to counter-terrorism post-Operation Sindoor, emphasize its commitment to peace, and reiterate its readiness to defend itself. The outreach is targeted at strengthening international consensus against terrorism.

Asia is witnessing a fresh surge in COVID-19 cases, with India reporting 257 active cases, primarily in Kerala, Maharashtra, and Tamil Nadu. The rise is linked to the JN.1 variant and its subvariants LF.7 and NB.1.8, known for high transmissibility. JN.1, a descendant of Omicron, carries multiple mutations that help it evade immunity. While symptoms are mostly mild¡ªlike sore throat, cough, and fatigue¡ªIndia remains vigilant. Experts stress that updated vaccines still offer protection against severe illness. The situation is under control but monitored closely.

India is stepping into next-gen military technology with humanoid robot fighters, developed by DRDO, designed for high-risk combat missions. With AI-driven decision-making, stealth mobility, and real-time threat detection, these robotic warriors aim to enhance battlefield efficiency and reduce troop casualties.

In a historic first, India¡¯s External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar spoke with Taliban Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi, thanking him for condemning the Pahalgam terror attack. This marks the highest-level India-Taliban contact since the Taliban's 2021 takeover. The conversation followed Afghanistan¡¯s firm rejection of false Pakistani media claims about Indian missile strikes. Muttaqi praised India as a key regional partner and sought visa facilitation and prisoner returns. This development comes amid rising tensions between Pakistan and the Taliban over TTP activity.

In a bold statement during his Middle East tour, U.S. President Donald Trump urged Apple CEO Tim Cook to end iPhone manufacturing in India and shift production back to the United States. Speaking in Doha, Trump claimed Apple would be ¡°upping their production in the U.S.¡± ¡ª a push aligned with his second-term ¡°America First¡± manufacturing policy. Currently, Apple doesn¡¯t manufacture any iPhones in the U.S. China remains the largest hub, with India producing around 40 million units annually ¡ª nearly 15% of Apple¡¯s global output. Interestingly, CEO Tim Cook recently confirmed that, due to growing trade tensions with China, a majority of iPhones sold in the U.S. would be made in India by the June quarter. India swiftly responded to Trump¡¯s comments, calling them ¡°premature¡± without naming him directly. This development follows March¡¯s last-minute $2 billion iPhone shipment from India to the U.S. by Foxconn and Tata, just ahead of Trump¡¯s proposed reciprocal tariffs.

Pakistan is set to acquire 40 Chinese J-35A stealth fighter jets, marking China¡¯s first transfer of fifth-generation aircraft to a foreign ally. The move comes after India¡¯s Operation Sindoor, where the Indian Air Force (IAF) successfully neutralized Pakistani air defenses, striking key air bases and terror infrastructure. With Pakistan¡¯s JF-17 and J-10C struggling against India¡¯s Su-30MKI, Rafale, and upcoming AMCA stealth fighter, the country is rushing to upgrade its fleet. But will the J-35A be enough to challenge India¡¯s air dominance? Experts argue that India¡¯s superior pilot training, advanced missile systems, and multi-layered air defense network will continue to dominate the region, making Pakistan¡¯s J-35A acquisition insufficient to shift the balance of power.
