US Iran War: A conditional ceasefire has been announced on Wednesday regarding the ongoing war between America and Iran. In such a situation, Pakistan is trying to take credit for stopping the war. Now there is a demand for giving Nobel Peace Prize to Pakistan regarding this. This demand seems very ridiculous. The media and some institutions there are raising the demand for awarding the Nobel Peace Prize to Pakistan.

While announcing the ceasefire, US President Donald Trump had taken the names of Shehbaz Sharif and Munir. The media there is highlighting this very thing and demanding to give peace prize under an agenda. The media there is continuously citing Pakistan’s role as important and taking credit for mediation in the ceasefire. For this, she is demanding that the Prime Ministers Shehbaz Sharif and Asim Munir get the Nobel Peace Prize.

Retired Pak colonel claims – the country stopped a big war

In an article published in The Nation, retired Lieutenant Colonel Syed Ahmed Nadeem Qadri has written that Pakistan prevented a major war. Played the role of mediator between America and Iran.

They helped stabilize global energy supplies and markets. Apart from this, he continuously tried to stop military action by promoting diplomacy. Apart from this, Karachi’s Chamber of Commerce and Industry gave the credit of ceasefire to Shahbaz Sharif and Asim Munir.

Which country celebrated Iran if not Pakistan?
Here, even though Pakistan is praising itself regarding the ceasefire, many reports suggest that Pakistan did this only at the behest of America. Shahbaz and Munir are just pawns. Apart from this, America’s draft tweet has also raised questions on Pakistan’s credibility.

At the same time, China has played a real role in convincing Iran for ceasefire. This has also been confirmed by US President Donald Trump. He had said on Wednesday that I think China has persuaded Iran for talks. Also played an important role in ceasefire. Apart from this, the New York Times had quoted Iranian officials as saying that China used its powers to put pressure on Iran and prepare it for ceasefire.

Iran US Israel War: US President Donald Trump has announced a ceasefire for two weeks amid the war with Iran. This big decision of Trump has not only averted the sound of war, but has also given a new flight to the Indian rupee and the stock market. In early trade on Wednesday, the rupee strengthened by 50 paise to reach 92.56 against the US dollar. Yesterday it closed at 93.06.

The announcement of a two-week ceasefire between America and Iran is the biggest reason behind this strengthening of the rupee. Not only the rupee, there is a Diwali like atmosphere in the stock market today. Sensex has jumped by more than 2800 points and reached the level of 77 thousand 144, while Nifty has also seen an increase of more than 821 points.

There has been a huge fall in the prices of crude oil in the international market. Brent crude has fallen by more than 12% to around $95 per barrel. After Iran’s agreement to open the ‘Strait of Hormuz’, the fear of interruption in oil supply has ended, the direct effect of which has been seen in the fall in the dollar index. Although selling by foreign investors (FIIs) continued yesterday, news of global peace has increased risk appetite in the market.

What benefit does the general public get from the strengthening of the rupee?

When the Indian Rupee strengthens against the Dollar, it has a direct and positive impact on our pockets. Its main benefits are given below.

Relief in prices of petrol and diesel

India buys about 80% of its crude oil needs from abroad. Which is paid in dollars. In such a situation, when the rupee strengthens, oil import becomes cheaper. This increases the possibility of reduction in prices of petrol and diesel in future.

control on inflation

Due to low freight costs, prices of fruits, vegetables and everyday items come down. When fuel is cheap, the cost of transporting goods from one city to another reduces, due to which the retail inflation rate comes down.

Electronics and foreign gadgets will be cheaper

Parts of smartphones, laptops, and other electronic goods are mostly imported. Lower import costs create pressure on companies to reduce prices, due to which you can get cheaper mobiles and computers.

Foreign travel and education affordable

If your child is studying abroad or you are planning to travel abroad, then you will get direct benefit. Earlier you had to pay 93 rupees for 1 dollar, now you have to pay 92.56. That means you will save on every dollar.

Reduction in prices of edible oils

India imports palm oil and other edible oils in large quantities. Due to strengthening of rupee, the import cost of these oils will reduce and your kitchen budget will be balanced.

The Indian government on Saturday (April 4, 2026) termed as false the reports which claimed that a tanker loaded with Iranian crude oil, which was earlier scheduled to come to India, is now changing its course midway and heading towards China due to ‘payment related problems’. The Petroleum Ministry said that India has not faced any payment related problem in securing the import of crude oil. India imports crude oil from more than 40 countries. Companies have complete freedom to buy oil from different places.

Why did the Iranian ship turn towards China?

A statement from the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas said that the reports ignored how the oil trade works. The ministry said, the names of possible ports for unloading goods from the ship are often written in the bill of landing. Cargo ships running at sea can change their destination on the basis of operational freedom to improve business.

Government termed media reports as false

The ministry said, ‘Despite Middle East supply problems, India has met its crude oil needs including from Iran. Many reports mentioning payment related problems are false. India’s crude oil requirement for the coming months is completely secure. On the rumor spread regarding LPG supply, the government said, ‘The LPG ship named Sea Bird has reached Mangaluru Port on April 2 with about 44 thousand metric tons of Iranian gas and at present unloading is going on.’

Iranian ship was about to reach Gujarat?

Ship tracking company ‘Coupler’ claimed that the Aframax tanker named ‘Ping Shun’ is now moving towards Dongying, China as its destination instead of Vadinar in Gujarat. Recently, after the temporary relaxation of sanctions given by America, Indian refiners are exploring the possibility of purchasing some consignments of Iranian oil present in the sea. Sumit Ritolia, chief analyst of Coupler’s refining and modeling department, had claimed that the reason for the change in the destination of the ship could be the terms related to payment. A refinery with a capacity of 20 million tonnes per annum of Nayara Energy, backed by Russian oil company Rosneft, is located in Vadinar.

India has been a big buyer of Iranian crude oil

Ritolia said it is not unusual for Iranian crude to change destinations during its journey, but it shows that trade terms and financial risks have now become as important as logistics. India’s Oil Ministry has already said that the decision to resume purchasing Iranian oil will depend on technical and commercial feasibility. India has historically been a big buyer of Iranian crude oil.

Amidst the ongoing war in the Middle East, questions are being raised about Iran’s new supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei’s hold on power in Tehran. This is happening because since assuming the post of Supreme Leader on March 8, he has not appeared in public even once. On the other hand, US President Donald Trump and Foreign Minister Marco Rubio have also claimed several times that Mujtaba Khamenei is probably dead.

Mujtaba Khamenei was not seen in public

As long as Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was the Supreme Leader, he used to give speeches on television after a certain time, which sent the message that he was a regular part of politics. In contrast, Mojtaba Khamenei has so far conveyed his message only through government TV anchors. Apart from this, Iranian officials also shared AI-generated pictures of Mujtaba to answer America. In such a situation, the perception is becoming stronger that the real power is in the hands of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.

The Guardian quoted the Iranian ambassador to Cyprus as saying that Mojtaba Khamenei was also injured in the attack on February 28. The ambassador had told that Mujtaba had suffered injuries in that attack. For the first time on March 12, in his address to the nation, Mujtaba Khamenei had talked about taking revenge from America and Israel and threatened to close the Strait of Hormuz. Although he himself did not appear in front of the TV, rather the anchor read his message.

Threatened America through written message

On March 18, Mujtaba Khamenei had threatened to take revenge on the death of Supreme National Security Council Secretary Ali Larijani and Basij commander Ghulamreza Suleimani. After this, on the occasion of Navroz on March 20, he also addressed through a written message. His father Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was seen on TV every year on this occasion. On March 21, he did not even attend the Eid al-Fitr prayers in Tehran.

US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said that Mojtaba Khamenei has been injured in the attack on Iran and perhaps his face has been disfigured. Trump declared him dead because no one has heard from him. The Iranian Ambassador to the United Nations said that Mujtaba is absent due to security reasons. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi claimed that Mujtaba Khamenei is completely healthy and is handling the affairs of the country.

Mujtaba Khamenei’s remaining underground for any reason is changing the direction of Iran’s politics. According to BBC, experts believe that now the thinking is growing rapidly that the complete command of power in this war is in the hands of IRGC.

The fear of collapse of Tehran’s top leadership has increased after US President Donald Trump’s claim about Iran’s new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei. Trump claimed that Iran’s army has been completely destroyed and their supreme leader and military leadership has been destroyed. Meanwhile, Russian Ambassador to Iran Alexey Dedov said that Mojtaba Khamenei is in Iran, but is avoiding appearing in public.

What did the Russian ambassador say about Mojtaba Khamenei?

In an interview with RTIV news outlet, the Russian ambassador also said that he has not yet had any contact with Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei. He said, ‘President Vladimir Putin was among the first people who sent a telegram of congratulations to Mojtaba Khamenei. He (Putin) had emphasized unwavering support for Tehran and solidarity with Iranian friends.

Trump had claimed Mojtaba’s death

Trump had earlier said, ‘I think their new supreme leader is also dead or in a very bad condition. Because no one has seen him or made any contact. Mojtaba Khamenei’s long silence seems to indicate that he is not alive. No one has contacted him. However, after Trump’s claims, Mojtaba Khamenei issued a message expressing gratitude to the people and religious leadership of Iraq. Since becoming the supreme leader, Mojtaba has not appeared in public even once.

US hints at ground attack in Iran

A large part of the world has been affected by the ongoing US-Iran war in the Middle East. The global oil supply chain has been affected by this. It has also had a direct impact on the oil supply of European countries. Meanwhile, America has indicated ground action in Iran. US Defense Minister Pete Hegseth said, ‘If necessary, America can also launch a ground invasion. However, it may not be needed.

America has once again threatened Iran amid the Middle East war. First President Donald Trump and now Defense Minister Pete Hegseth have warned Iran’s top leadership on Tuesday (31 March 2026). The US Defense Minister claimed that he is ready for ‘boots on the ground’ and the conflict will end only on his terms. He also said that if dialogue does not work out then ‘talks through bombs’ will be carried out.

America engaged in military preparations against Iran

US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said that talks regarding Iran are going on and are gaining momentum, but at the same time military options are also open. He said, ‘If needed, America can also launch a ground invasion. However, it may not be needed. He said that America’s strategy is to be a little ‘unpredictable’, so that the enemy cannot guess what the next step will be. He said, ‘You can neither fight nor win a war unless you tell your adversary what you are prepared to do and what you are not prepared to do, including the deployment of ground troops.’

Hegseth further said, ‘Our adversary is currently thinking that there are 15 different ways in which we can attack them with ground troops. He said that if needed, America can implement those options or perhaps we may not need to use them. Maybe things can be resolved through conversation. The main thing is to be unpredictable in this matter, certainly not to let anyone know what you are willing to do and what you are not.

Talks at diplomatic level also an option: America

General Dan Kane, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said that the military options that the US military can implement are quite broad. He said, ‘I would not like to limit the scope of the president’s decision-making, but there are many things, the most important of which is that Iran should take into account that our troops are present there and they act as a pressure point. I believe that keeping in mind the current situation, they should consider this matter carefully at the diplomatic level.

While answering the question regarding Trump’s aggressive attitude towards NATO, Hegseth said, ‘The mission will end only on our terms. In the words of the President, there is no doubt about it. As far as NATO is concerned, this decision will be left to the President, but I will just say that a lot has become clear. He said sarcastically, ‘The world has seen that when we make an effort on such a large scale on behalf of the free world, what are our allies ready to do for America?’

Hegseth takes aim at NATO

He said, ‘America is not in the range of their missiles. They reach our colleagues and others. Yet, when we ask for additional assistance or just basic air access, we face questions, obstacles, or hesitations. Finally, explaining the meaning of Trump’s truth post, Hegseth said that the President is indicating that if you have countries that are not ready to stand with you when needed, then your alliance does not have much meaning.

On the 31st day of the ongoing Middle East war, Iran heavily bombed American and Israeli targets. Iran said that if American soldiers land on their land, they will not go back. Meanwhile, Russia has once again come openly in support of Iran. Russian Foreign Minister Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Tuesday (31 March 2026) that America and Israel cannot see Iran as normal.

Nuclear threat increased due to Iran war: Russia

Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov also said that the American-Israeli attack on Iran has increased the threat to nuclear security in the region. He said that this could provoke Iran and its neighboring countries to develop nuclear weapons. Sergei Lavrov said that the Iran war could turn into a major regional crisis. According to Reuters report, Russia said that America is trying to bring about a change of power in Iran and Venezuela so that it can gain control over the oil there.

Trump’s warning to Iran

Russia’s statement has come at a time when America is threatening to conduct a ground operation by landing its troops in Iran. Iran made this war costly for the world by tightening its grip on the Strait of Hormuz, as a result of which there was fuel shortage in many countries. At the same time, Trump is repeatedly warning of a strong attack if the Strait of Hormuz is not opened. Regarding Trump’s threat, White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt said that the US military will always follow the law.

India-Russia discussed Middle East crisis

India and Russia on Monday discussed ways to further expand their strategic partnership in view of the West Asia crisis and its economic consequences. The issue of increasing conflict in West Asia figured prominently in the meetings held by Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Andrey Rudenko in New Delhi. He also had a meeting with Foreign Minister S Jaishankar.

Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei has warned Israel and America on the death of Iranian National Security Council Secretary Ali Larijani. He issued a statement condoling Larijani’s death and said that his murderers would soon have to pay the price. Iran’s Supreme National Security Council had earlier confirmed that its secretary Ali Larijani had been killed in an attack.

Supreme Leader’s warning to Iran-America

Mojtaba Khamenei said, ‘I am deeply saddened to hear the tragic news of the martyrdom of Ali Larijani, his son and many colleagues. He was a very experienced person, who served Iran in political and security related fields for decades. Such terrorist acts only reflect the hostility of the enemies and will further strengthen the resolve of the Islamic nation of Iran. Without a doubt, justice will definitely be served.

In this war that started last month, Israel and America are continuously targeting the top leadership of Iran. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian confirmed on March 18 that his Intelligence Minister Ismail Khatib had been killed. Earlier Israel had said that Khatib was killed in air strikes last night. He posted on X and described the murder of Ismail Khatib, Ali Larijani and Nasirzadeh as cowardly.

Larijani was Iran’s chief nuclear negotiator

After the assassination of Larijani, the most influential person in Iranian politics, the decision-making process in Tehran has become complicated and its options have become limited as the war continues. Larijani took over the country’s top national security post in 2005, following growing concern in the West about Iran’s nuclear program, making him the country’s chief nuclear negotiator.

War is not limited to the Middle East only

Even on the 19th day of the war, the figures are in favor of America and Israel and more Iranian officers have been killed. Israel says that it has breached Iran’s security structure. This war is no longer just an American-Israeli air campaign against Iran. It is now a wider regional conflict, affecting Lebanon, the Gulf countries, global shipping and energy markets.

Now the issue is not whether America and Israel have caused serious damage to Iran or not. The question now is whether President Donald Trump can translate that military dominance into a political outcome that looks like victory, or whether Iran has succeeded in making the war longer and more expensive than Trump expected. Iran’s top leadership, including Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was completely eliminated on the very first day. Since then, American-Israeli forces have also killed several other important political and military figures.

Where is Trump weakening?

Israel and the US have weakened Iranian military infrastructure, targeted internal security forces and pushed Tehran into defensive mode. However, wars are not evaluated only on the basis of number of dead, destroyed air defense systems or command bunkers. It is also evaluated on the basis of economic losses, coalition cohesion and ability to dictate peace terms. This is where Trump’s position appears weaker.

Preparations for Eid ul Fitr 2026 have started in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Amidst the ongoing war in the Middle East, a major change has been made by the UAE administration regarding Eid. The UAE has banned places of offering prayers in the open and has announced that Eid prayers will be offered only in mosques.

The General Authority of Islamic Affairs, Endowment and Zakat has announced this. This major change has been made due to the tension and sensitivity created in the Gulf region due to the war between America, Israel and Iran. This change is giving a new shape to the way of celebrating Eid this year.

Appeal to follow the rules

Usually in UAE, people celebrate Eid ul Fitr with prayers by gathering in open spaces. Thousands of people gather since morning to celebrate Eid, but this time it will not be seen like this. This has been confirmed by the officials. An appeal has been made to the worshipers to follow the guidelines of the mosque and reach before time to avoid crowd.

Claim of arrangements to handle the crowd

This change related to Eid namaz seems to be related to management. However, Eid namaz is not limited to just a religious obligation, but it is also linked to the emotions of the people. People can offer namaz together with their families in the open fields. At the same time, more people gather in mosques than the space available. However, people have been assured that complete arrangements have been made to handle the crowd in mosques.

No change in namaz timings

There has been no change in the timing of Eid prayers. Let us tell you that in UAE, Eid prayers are usually offered between 5.45 am to 6.30 am after sunrise, after which sermons and prayers are given.

The purpose of this decision is to ensure the safety of the people and to organize this large-scale event smoothly. This becomes more important when there is uncertainty in the area.
