US joining Israeli strikes would cause hell, says Iranian minister 
LONDON — The US joining Israeli strikes would cause "hell for the whole region", Iran's deputy foreign minister has told the BBC.Saeed Khatibzadeh said this is "not America's war" and if US President Donald Trump does get involved, he will always be remembered as "a president who entered a war he doesn't belong in".He said US involvement would turn the conflict into a "quagmire", continue aggression and delay an end to the "brutal atrocities".His comments came after the Soroka hospital in southern Israel was hit during an Iranian missile attack. Iranian state media reported that the strike targeted a military site next to the hospital, and not the facility itself.Israel's Ministry of Health said 71 people were injured...

Chinese navy drill near Japan sparks concern
SINGAPORE — A Chinese naval drill near Japan has sparked concern from Tokyo, which in recent days lodged a protest with Beijing and made the rare decision to publicly disclose Chinese military movements.In the last few weeks China's two aircraft carriers, the Shandong and the Liaoning, have been conducting simultaneous drills in the Pacific, in an unprecedented move.Chinese fighter jets have done hundreds of landings and take-offs from the carriers. A few came close to Japanese surveillance planes, prompting Tokyo to convey its "serious concerns" to Beijing.China has said its activities are consistent with international law and accused Japan of conducting "dangerous moves".On Tuesday, the Japanese defence ministry released a map tracing the Chinese aircraft...

Thai PM faces calls to quit after leaked phone call
BANGKOK — Thai Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra's coalition government is on the brink of collapse after a phone call between her and former Cambodian leader Hun Sen about a festering border dispute was leaked.The leak provoked public anger and prompted a key coalition partner of the 38-year-old Paetongtarn's Peu Thai party to quit.In the call, she addressed Hun Sen, a family friend and senior politician in the South East Asian region, as "uncle" and appeared to dismiss a Thai military commander."I would like to apologise for the leaked audio of my conversation with a Cambodian leader which has caused public resentment," Paetongtarn said on Thursday, as the pressure on her intensified.Bhumjaithai, the second-largest party in Paetongtarn's ruling...

Trump focused on avoiding wider conflict as he nears decision on US strikes in Iran
WASHINGTON — As President Donald Trump weighs whether to join Israel’s strikes on Iran — including using bunker-busting bombs to target nuclear facilities deep underground — a discussion is underway among his top officials over how the US can strike those targets without becoming embroiled in a full-scale war, sources familiar with the matter said.For Trump, trying to avoid prolonging the conflict that began last Thursday has become a top imperative. While he is receptive to arguments, including from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, that only the US can decisively end Iran’s nuclear ambitions, he is deeply wary of becoming bogged down in the type of foreign conflict he vowed to avoid, the sources said.Over the weekend, some US allies received word that the Trump...

Devastating crash threatens Air India's ambitious turnaround
AHMEDABAD — Days after the devastating Air India-171 crash killed at least 270 people, investigators from across the world are putting their heads together to find out what exactly went wrong. So far, there is no indication of where the fault lies, and it could take months before we have an answer.But as the waiting game begins, the Tata Group — which owns the airline along with other iconic brands such as Jaguar Land Rover and Tetley Tea – confronts a litany of unprecedented challenges at a critical juncture of the carrier's ambitious turnaround.The narrative was just beginning to change for Air India in the lead-up to the tragedy.In the hands of a new private owner - the Tatas bought the airline from the government in 2022 – Air India showed an operating profit, better...

US embassies must vet students for ‘hostile attitudes’ but can resume visa appointments, State Department says
WASHINGTON — The US State Department told embassies and consulates they must vet student visa applicants for “hostile attitudes towards our citizens, culture, government, institutions, or founding principles” but said they should resume appointments that were paused in late May.The new guidance was sent to US diplomatic posts worldwide in a cable seen by CNN Wednesday. It says the vetting will look at student and exchange visa applicants’ “entire online presence.” Applicants will be asked to set their social media profiles to public as part of the new vetting, and the cable notes that “limited access to, or visibility of, online presence could be construed as an effort to evade or hide certain activity.”It comes as the Trump administration has taken significant actions that...
