Amidst the increasing tension in the South China Sea, US Defense Minister Pete Hegseth has said that America will provide such technologies and equipment to its allied countries with the help of which they can jointly counter China’s ‘aggressive activities’. In multilateral meetings held in Kuala Lumpur, he accused China of spreading instability in the South China Sea and said that Washington will not leave its partners alone.

America targets China’s action in South China Sea
Hegseth told the defense ministers of ASEAN countries that China has not respected the sovereignty of neighboring countries and its policies are challenging the stability of the region. He said, ‘You feel the dangers of China’s aggression in the South China Sea and other areas every day. We must enhance our joint capabilities and develop technical cooperation for better monitoring of maritime activities, so that no country is left alone. He also said that America is capable of increasing innovation and technology rapidly and it wants to share these with its partners.

Concern increases over deployment of Chinese coast guard
Hegseth’s comments came at a time when the armies of Australia, New Zealand, Philippines and the US conducted joint exercises in the South China Sea. China described this action as ‘against regional peace and stability’. China claims almost the entire area of ​​the South China Sea, which borders the exclusive economic zones of Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines and Vietnam. China has deployed a huge fleet of coast guard ships in the sea, which have clashed several times with ships of Philippines, Malaysia and Vietnam.

However, China says that its action is defensive and its coast guard is working professionally. Chinese Defense Minister Dong Jun said on Friday that China and ASEAN should maintain peace and stability in the South China Sea by ‘uniting the Eastern Power’.

Tension increased after Trump’s nuclear test comment
Hegseth’s visit came at a time when President Donald Trump said on social media that he has directed the US military to ‘begin testing our nuclear weapons’. This directive is being seen as a signal for nuclear testing after 33 years, although it is not clear whether Trump meant nuclear blast testing or testing of nuclear-capable missiles. When Hegseth was asked about this, he said that the Defense Department would provide clarification soon, but ‘it is prudent to test a capable nuclear force.’

Indication of strengthening alliance in Indo-Pacific
Hegseth said that America is a supporter of peace but China’s activities should be closely monitored. He said that Washington is committed to creating such an army in the Indo-Pacific region that no one can compete with at the global level. He further said that dialogue with China is important and the talks with his Chinese counterpart were useful, but also warned that Beijing’s activities will have to be constantly monitored. “We do not want conflict, we want peace,” he told ASEAN defense ministers. But we have to ensure that China cannot establish its dominance over you or anyone else.

A major defense agreement has been signed between America and India amid the dispute over buying oil from Russia and arbitrary tariffs. Defense Minister Rajnath Singh and US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth signed the agreement for 10 years on Friday (October 31, 2025) in Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia.

This is the first time after Operation Sindoor that Rajnath Singh and Pete Hegseth met. Defense ministers of both the countries have come to participate in the ASEAN Plus meeting. Relations between India and America have soured since Operation Sindoor. India has always been denying US President Donald Trump’s claim of ceasefire regarding the ceasefire with Pakistan.

But keeping aside the bitterness, Rajnath Singh said about this agreement that a new chapter is beginning with the signing of the defense framework. At the same time, Pete Hegseth has described this agreement as historic and said that it is taking the India-US defense partnership forward.

This defense partnership is a sign of our increasing strategic convergence – Rajnath

Regarding the agreement, Defense Minister Rajnath Singh said, ‘A useful meeting was held with his American counterpart Pete Hegseth in Kuala Lumpur. We signed a 10-year ‘Framework for the US-India Major Defense Partnership’. This will usher in a new era in our already strong defense partnership. This defense framework will provide policy direction to the entire dimension of India-US defense relations. This is a sign of our growing strategic convergence and will usher in a new decade of partnership. He said, ‘Defence will remain a major pillar of our bilateral relations. Our partnership is important to ensure a free, open and rules-based Indo-Pacific region.

This agreement takes our defense partnership forward – Pete Hegseth

At the same time, US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said on the 10-year-old US-India Defense Framework Agreement, ‘It advances our defense partnership, which is a cornerstone for regional stability and deterrence. We are strengthening our coordination, information sharing and technology cooperation. Our defense ties are stronger than ever.

Rajnath-Hegseth had discussed about Operation Sindoor

After the Pahalgam massacre on April 22, US Defense Minister Pete Hegseth had a long talk with Defense Minister Rajnath Singh. During that time, Rajnath Singh had described Pakistan as a disease state i.e. an evil country and said that Pakistan is engaged in destabilizing South Asia and increasing global terrorism. At the same time, Hegseth had told Rajnath Singh that India has full right to self-defense and America stands firmly with India.

After Operation Sindoor, there was once again a conversation between Hegseth and Rajnath Singh. In which Rajnath Singh had clearly said that India will continue to take military action against terrorism. This conversation took place at a time when US President Donald Trump was repeatedly saying that he had stopped the ceasefire between India and Pakistan. But India has made it clear that the military confrontation has been stopped on the request of Pakistan. Trump had no role in the ceasefire.

Now, for the first time after defeating Pakistan, Rajnath Singh and Hegseth have met in Malaysia. It is believed that apart from the 10-year defense deal, the delay in the engine of LCA Tejas fighter jet and Operation Sindoor would also have been discussed between the two defense ministers.

Indian Navy announces joint Malabar exercise with US

At the time when the defense agreement was being signed in Kuala Lumpur by Rajnath and Hegseth, at the same time in the capital Delhi, the Indian Navy announced to organize joint exercise ‘Malabar’ with America, Australia and Japan. Vice Admiral Sanjay Vatsyayan, Co-Chief of the Indian Navy, informed that in the last week of November, Malabar Exercise is being organized at the Guam Military Base under the US Indo-Pacific Command.

It is believed that after this agreement, the date of Cope Exercise between the Indian and American Air Forces will also be announced soon. Air forces of Australia and Japan can also participate in this exercise.

President Trump has taken this step at the behest of US Homeland Security Minister Christie NoM. Trump wrote in a post on social media platform Truth Social that all necessary soldiers should be sent to protect the war -torn American state Portland.

Donald Trump wrote in the post on Truth Social Platform, ‘I am instructing Defense Minister Pete Hegseth to provide all the necessary soldiers to protect the Portland and any of our ice facilities due to the attacks by Antifa and other domestic terrorists and if needed, I am also allowing them to use full strength.

What did Trump do on social media,

President Donald Trump’s statement came at a time when Trump claimed that the crazy people of Portland were trying to burn buildings in the US state.

Trump said, ‘This is a small example, but this is the most violent example. This happens every night and it is being done for many years. You think that perhaps they may have spoken at some point, but what are they doing? But we are going there and we will catch a large number of people who are doing so in Portland. They are provoking people in a professional manner and are anarchist. He is really quite anarchist.

At the same time, in the beginning of September, President Trump described the living in Portland as living in hell and he said that he is planning to send more federal soldiers there. Trump’s plan has come amid federal control over Washington DC and a kind of threats in Chicago and Baltimor states, which he described as part of his comprehensive plan to reduce the rate of crime.

An official, on the condition of anonymity, said that apart from the Cruce, Hegseth has also removed the US Navy Reserve chief Vice Admiral Nancy Lacor and Navy Special War Command Commander Rear Admiral Milton Sands.

Unlike Trump’s claims, DIA reported

According to the report by the news agency Reuters, the three officials said they do not know why they were evacuated. The dismissal occurred at a time when the initial reports of the DIA about the US attack on Iran were contrary to the claims of President Donald Trump.

America bombed Iran

In fact, when the war broke out between Israeli and Iran, the US had bombed all three nuclear bases of Iran from B-2 bombers, after which Trump claimed that he had completely destroyed Iran’s nuclear bases. However, when the DIA report came out, it was told that there has been a limited loss on nuclear bases.

What did the Vice President of the Intelligence Committee tell?

American senator Mark Warner, vice -president of the Senate’s Intelligence Committee, said, “The dismissal of another senior National Security Officer shows the dangerous habit of the Trump administration, in which he sees intelligence as a test of loyalty instead of security of our country.” A DIA spokesman told NBC News that Deputy Director Christine Boardine immediately took over as acting director.

Rajnath singh phone call us: The statement released about the conversation on the phone of Defense Minister Rajnath Singh and his American counterpart Pete Hegseth, why did the Ministry of Defense change in less than 15 minutes, this remains a big question. In the second statement, important issues like Operation Sindoor, Pakistan and terrorists were missing important issues.

Rajnath Singh spoke to Hegseth on the phone on Tuesday evening (July 1, 2025).

Just 14 minutes later, at 8.30, the Department of Public Relations (DPR) of the Ministry of Defense released the revised press release which was very flat. In the second statement, all issues including pre-MP strike were removed from Operation Sindoor to Pakistan and terrorists.

India is angry with the way US President Donald Trump has tried to take credit for the ceasefire between India and Pakistan since Operation Sindoor. India has made it clear that military conflict has been stopped on Pakistan’s appeal. Trump had no role in ceasefire.

Why is India angry with Trump administration?
India is also angry that the Trump administration has weighed a terrorist-nation (Pakistan) and terrorism-suffering country (India) in the same scales. According to the second press release, Rajnath praised Hegseth for supporting India against terrorism. In such a situation, everyone is surprised by confusion on the statement issued from Rajnath Singh and US Defense Secretary about the phone-call. However, in both press releases, there is talk of increasing defense cooperation between India and the US, exercise, military exchange and industry cooperation.

In January this year, Hegseth took over as the Defense Secretary of America. In the last seven months, there has been a phone conversation between Rajnath and Hegseth. In the phone call on Tuesday, Rajnath expressed the possibility of meeting Hegseth soon.
