Over 90% of global netizens condemn US-Israel aggression on Iran: survey 

A whopping 93% of netizens have condemned the joint US-Israeli military action in Iran, shows an online poll released by China Global Television Network (CGTN), calling it a violation of Iran’s sovereignty, security and territorial integrity. Respondents urged an immediate halt to military operations to prevent further escalation. The US-Israeli strike occurred amid ongoing diplomatic negotiations between Washington and Tehran. According to the survey, 86.8 per cent of respondents criticised the US for intensifying military deterrence during talks, describing it as an example of “American hegemony.” They argued that such actions undermine international law and diminish the prospects for resolving disputes through diplomacy. A total of 79.8 per cent of respondents agreed that force is not an effective means of settling international disputes, warning that military pressure often deepens hostility and narrows space for negotiation rather than resolving core differences.

Fahad Nazer, spokesperson for the Saudi Embassy in Washington, said the kingdom has consistently backed diplomatic efforts aimed at securing a credible agreement with Tehran. “The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has been consistent in supporting diplomatic efforts to reach a credible deal with Iran,” Nazer said in a statement posted on social media. “At no point in all our communication with the Trump administration did we lobby the president to adopt a different policy.” Read: Pakistan stands in full solidarity with Saudi Arabia, Gulf countries: PM Nazer’s comments came in response to a report by The Washington Post, which cited four people familiar with the matter as saying President Trump authorised strikes on Iran following weeks of lobbying by Israel and Saudi Arabia. The report added that US intelligence assessments found no imminent threat, but that regional allies advocated for military action. Saudi Arabia reiterated its long-standing position in favour of dialogue and diplomatic solutions to regional tensions, rejecting claims that it encouraged a shift toward direct military confrontation. The kingdom has repeatedly called for de-escalation and a political resolution to disputes involving Iran, emphasizing regional stability and security.

Indian devotees splurge on jets, gold idols as Hindu temple opens

The private jet parking lots at airports near the Indian city of Ayodhya are full and the shops have run out of gold-plated idols, as wealthy devotees prepare for the invite-only opening ceremony of one of Hinduism's holiest temples. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Asia's richest man Mukesh Ambani are among the 8,000 or so attendees at Monday's inauguration event for the Ram Temple, which devotees believe is built on the birthplace of Lord Ram, a sacred Hindu deity. The construction of the temple, which began after the Supreme Court awarded the site to Hindus in 2019 more than two decades after a Hindu mob razed a mosque there, triggering deadly riots, fulfils a key campaign promise of Modi and his Hindu nationalist party.
