Amidst the ongoing widespread protests in Iran, there is once again acute tension in the relations between America and Iran. On Friday (January 2, 2026), the Speaker of Iran’s Parliament warned in clear words that if America took any aggressive step, the American military bases and forces present in the region would be considered legitimate targets. This statement came at a time when US President Donald Trump had threatened to intervene in the ongoing protests in Iran.

According to Fox News report, this statement of the Iranian Parliament Speaker came just hours after a warning in which a senior advisor to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei had said that if America interferes in Iran’s internal affairs, anarchy could spread in the entire region. Iran believes that external interference will worsen the situation. Earlier, President Trump had issued a strong statement saying that if Iranian security forces use lethal force against peaceful protesters, then America can intervene. This statement has further increased the already existing tension between the two countries.

Violence in protests, 7 people dead so far

There have been reports of violent clashes during the ongoing protests in Iran for the past few days. At least 7 people have died in the clash between security forces and protesters. This movement started from Sunday and gradually spread to many parts of the country. The root of the protests is the deepening economic crisis. Common people are extremely angry with inflation, unemployment and falling value of the national currency. The situation has become such that people’s anger is clearly visible on the streets.

Economic crisis became the main reason for protest

This protest was first seen in the capital Tehran, where traders and shopkeepers raised their voice against the economic policies of the government. The huge fall in Iran’s currency Rial, weak economic growth and continuously rising prices have increased the problems of the common people. According to government data, the inflation rate reached 42.5 percent in December. The value of Riyal against the Dollar has fallen so much that the value of one American Dollar has become approximately 14 lakh Riyal. Due to this the purchasing power of common citizens has been badly affected.

President’s soft language, but limited options

Iranian President Masoud Pejeshkian has shown a relatively soft stance towards the protests. He publicly acknowledged that if people’s livelihood problems were not resolved, it would have serious moral and social consequences. In a program broadcast on state TV, he said that the problems of the public cannot be ignored. However, the President also admitted that in the current economic situation the government has limited options. The path of improvement is not easy due to currency depreciation and international pressures.

Government warning and strict stance of law

Iran’s Prosecutor General has said that the government considers peaceful economic protests as legitimate, but any kind of violence or attempt to spread insecurity will not be tolerated. He warned that strict action would be taken in such cases.

US President Donald Trump has confirmed that America has taken military action on Venezuelan soil for the first time. According to Trump, this attack was carried out on a dock from where boats were allegedly loaded for drug smuggling. This action is being seen as a strategy to increase pressure on Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.

Trump spoke openly about this operation during his meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Florida. He said that a massive explosion occurred in the dock area, where drugs were loaded into boats. Trump said that now that entire area has been destroyed and it is not possible to use it for drug smuggling.

American action increased from sea to land

US action has so far been limited to boats involved in drug smuggling in the Caribbean Sea and the eastern Pacific Ocean, but this is the first time there have been indications of US operations reaching Venezuelan soil. It is clear from this that America has tightened its strategy against drug networks.

Trump remained silent on who attacked

Donald Trump did not say whether the attack was carried out by the US Army or the CIA. He also did not clearly say that the attack took place inside Venezuela, but did say that this action was taken near the coast. Trump said that he has complete information, but he does not want to reveal much about it.

Hinted earlier in radio interview

Earlier, Trump had indicated in a radio interview that an important place related to drug smuggling had been destroyed. He had said that since September till now, boats carrying drugs have been attacked 29 times, in which 105 people have been killed. However, American officials have not yet shared much information regarding this latest action.

Venezuelan silence and oil blockade

According to AP report, there has been no official reaction yet from the Venezuelan government on this attack. At the same time, America has already imposed oil blockade on Venezuela, so that the sources of income of Maduro government can be weakened. In the last few months, Trump has been hinting that America may increase its action outside the sea as well. In October he also admitted that the CIA had been given permission to conduct covert operations in Venezuela.

Airstrikes in Nigeria: America has conducted several deadly air strikes against ISIS terrorists in Nigeria. US President Donald Trump has given this information. Trump alleges that these terrorist groups were targeting and killing Christians in the area.

Posting on his social media platform Truth Social, President Trump said that these air strikes were carried out on his orders. He wrote that the hideouts of ISIS terrorists operating in northwestern Nigeria were targeted. Trump said, ‘Tonight the Commander in Chief, on my instructions, targeted ISIS terrorists in northwest Nigeria.

Accused of targeting Christians

President Trump alleged that these terrorists were targeting and brutally killing innocent Christians. He said that such level of violence has not been seen in many years or even centuries. According to Trump, he had already warned these terrorists that if the killing of Christians did not stop, they would have to face serious consequences.

‘Warned’

Trump wrote in his message, ‘I had already warned these terrorists that if they did not stop the massacre of Christians, they would have to pay a heavy price and the same happened tonight.’

American army did a perfect strike

According to the President, America carried out many precise air strikes in this military operation. He said that the US Defense Department carried out this action. Trump wrote, ‘The Department of War delivered many perfect strikes, something only the United States can do.’

Strict stance against terrorism

Trump said that this action reflects his tough stance against terrorism. He wrote, ‘Under my leadership our country will not allow radical Islamic terrorism to flourish.’ Along with this, he praised the American Army and while wishing a Merry Christmas, he said, ‘God bless our army and Merry Christmas to everyone, even the dead terrorists, Merry Christmas.’ At the same time, the US Africa Command (US AFRICOM) has said that the action taken against ISIS in Sokoto, Nigeria (called ‘Soboto’ in the AFRICOM statement) was taken at the request of the Nigerian authorities.

US Vice President JD Vance has defended America’s Aermarks on the alleged Venezuela drug smuggling boat at Caribbean. He said that if critics call it a war crime, then they do not mind. Vance wrote on X (East Twitter), “Killing members of Cartel who harm our citizens is the best use of our army.”

The statement came on the day when the administration said that the four -engine boat was destroyed in the aircraft and 11 people were killed. The Trump administration says that the boat was of Tren De Aragua gang, which Trump recently declared a terrorist organization. Trump said that the gang people were sending drugs to America along with Venezuela President Nikola Maduro.

JD Vance gave this answer on people’s question

Some people said, “Killing citizens of another country without a legal process is a war crime.” To this, Vance replied, “I don’t mind what you call it.” Law experts say that this strike can violate the UN charter, as the force in international law can only be used with the approval of the council of self -defense or security.

White House Deputy-Press Secretary said this

White House Deputy-Press Secretary Ana Kelly said that the attack was carried out against a terrorist organization and to protect the national interests of America.

US officials made a statement

President Donald Trump said, “Whoever is thinking of bringing drugs in America, be careful.” At the same time, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said that this attack will not be alone. “We have aerial, water and naval resources. Any other narco-attentive will pay the same result.”

American coast guard action

The American Coast Guard usually stops suspected smuggled boats and seize illegal goods. Last month, the Coast Guard seized about 20,000 kg of cocaine in the Pacific Ocean. Vance has been in favor of strict steps against Cartel for a long time. He said that we have thousands of soldiers who are ready to fight against Mexican Cartel. We will send them.

update in progress…

New weapon technology: Technological innovation in the military sector plays an important role in strengthening the security of any country. During 2024-2025, some new techniques are coming out which will not only completely change the military strategies, but will also bring modern warfare to a new level. Let’s know about 5 such major military techniques which will affect the defense system of the whole world in the coming time.

Artificial Intelligence (AI)

AI is no longer limited to software or chatbot, but it is now playing a big role in making war strategies, sensing enemies and saving soldiers from danger. AI systems help commanders to take immediate decisions by processing huge amounts of data in real-time.

AI-equipped drones and autonomous vehicles are now replacing humans in monitoring, attacks and discovery campaigns. Apart from this, AI has also become a game changer in cyber security, which deactivates the danger and deactivates the threat much faster than the traditional methods.

State -of -the -art defense equipment

Due to the technical reforms in military equipment, now from bulletproof jackets to missile systems, they have become stronger, strong and agile than ever. Nanomaterials and composit technology prepared new body arms, not only provide protection to soldiers, as well as maintain their speed and stamina.

In addition, exoskeleton suits provide additional strength to the soldiers, so that they can carry heavy goods for a long time. At the same time, weapons like laser and direct energy weapons are now becoming a new tool to neutralize the dangers rapidly.

Internet of Military Things (IOMT)

IOMT means adding all military devices, vehicles and systems to be added so that they can share data in real-time. This gives the army accurate information of every moment like location, health, ammunition conditions etc. of soldiers.

With the help of Light Fidelity (Lifi) technology, defense communication is now being done through light waves instead of radio waves. It not only sends the data very fast but also almost eliminates the possibility of hacking or interception.

Robotics

Now robots are not limited to the factory just. In modern war, drones, ground vehicles and underwater robots such as autonomous systems monitoring, bomb defuse, logistics and enemy discovery are working – that too without any human danger.

With the help of AI, these systems can find a way out in dangerous areas and can take decisions and complete the mission. With the help of AUVS (Autonomous Underwater Vehicles) in marine operations, now mine detection and C survey have also become easier.

Big data and analytics

The army has millions of data points per day from satellite, drones, sensors and communication networks. By analyzing them, not only the enemy strategies can be understood in advance, but the maintenance, logistics and contingents of weapons can also be managed in a smart way.

Through Big data, social media and open-source data can also be identified in advance the possibility of terrorist activities and instability. This makes the armies prepare in advance and the response is fast and accurate.

Even though Russian President Vladimir Putin is described as his close US President Donald Trump, but these days a statement of Trump is seen to be a sword in both countries. Russia has erupted over Trump’s statement ‘fire playing’. Russia’s Deputy NSA (and former Prime Minister) Dimitri Medvedev has retaliated and threatened the third world war, after which the tension has increased again among the two superpowers.

Donald Trump recently described Putin as a crazy and threatened Russia’s collapse, which has tremendous resentment in Putin administration. The ceasefire or permanent war between Russia and Ukraine has increased in the US and Russia. Despite Trump’s repeated efforts, Putin is not a matter of tuss. Russia has bluntly said that the ceasefire will happen only when there is an agreement with Ukraine. After this statement from Russia, Trump threatened Russia, but now Russia has also retaliated on Trump.

Dimitri Medvedev, deputy chairman of Russia’s Security Council, said, ‘Trump has said about Putin that he is playing with fire and he can do something bad with Russia. I know the same bad thing and that is the third world war. Hopefully Trump understands this. Trump’s attacks on Putin continue. Trump is badly upset when the Russian-Ukraine war is not ended. Despite all the values ​​of Trump, Putin has failed to explain it. Greed, threatened, threatened, despite its Russia is not ready to talk ahead of the agreement. In such a situation, Trump has once again erupted.

Regarding Trump’s Words About Putin “Playing with Fire” and “Really bad things” Haappening to Russia. I only know of one really bad thing – wwiii.
I HOPE Trump Undrstands This!

—Dmitry medvedev (@medvedevrussiae) May 27, 2025

In a post on Truth Social, Trump said, ‘Vladimir Putin does not realize that if I was not there, very bad things would have already happened in Russia, and I mean very bad things. He is playing with fire! ‘ Earlier, Trump had declared Putin as a crazy. Trump even threatened Russia’s collapse. Trump had said, ‘He is unnecessarily killing many people, and I am not just talking about soldiers. Missiles and drones are being fired in cities of Ukraine without any reason. I have always said that he wants not just a piece of Ukraine, but the whole Ukraine, and perhaps it is proving right, but if he does so, it will cause Russia’s collapse.

Russia alleges that western countries are continuously supplying arms to Ukraine to weaken Russia, which threatens regional stability. Russian External Affairs Minister Sergei Lavarov has made it clear that the ceasefire will not do until the agreement is reached. Russia no longer trusts the ceasefire and will not return to the old paths again. Lavarov said in a press conference, ‘We have gone through this situation before. We have seen how time is taken in the name of a ceasefire, and then the same old policies are repeated. The demands of western countries are unilateral and completely ignores Russia’s security concerns. Russia will not back down from any step to protect its national security and interests.

From where Pakistan was attacking the drone, India destroyed the airbase of that Murid in Operation Sindoor, satellite image came out

In campaigns like Operation Sindoor, the whole world has seen India’s growing military strength. Seeing this, the way the Indian Army took accurate action on the terrorist bases present in Pakistan, the big companies of America, who made military weapons, have lost their sweat. American experts say that in view of India, America needs immediate defense reform.

In the Small Wars Journal, John Spencer and Vincent Vyilla wrote that in 2014, this step was taken to make domestic products and self -reliance in the defense sector in 2014 and after 10 years, this effort in Operation Sindoor brought color and the whole world is his witness.

India is rapid innovation in the military sector, manufacturing modern weapons with new technology for war, which is also low and more and more weapons are being emphasized in the country, while the US is trapped in the old and cold warlords. There is also a lot of difference in the cost of Indian and American weapons. The price of Indian Pinaka rocket is less than 56 thousand dollars, while the US GMLRS missile costs $ 1,48,000. Similarly, the price of India’s sky missile defense system is equal to a fraction of Patriot or Nasams platform in America.

The deal was signed with Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL) for Rs 1,982 crore to create a sky defense system, while the US NASAMS defense system is priced at Rs 3,842 crore. The largest companies in American defense industry are Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Northrop Gumman, Rethon Technology and General Dynamics. According to SIPRI, 9 of the world’s 20 largest defense companies are Americans.

Experts say that America’s acquisition process is quite slow. Here it takes years to make changes in the military sector and sometimes in decades, modernization is done. The high cost of American weapons is also a major reason for this, which obstruct modernization. F-35 is an accurate example of this, which costs $ 1.7 trillion and has been criticized several times for its poor performance. US Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall has also accepted that the F-35 program was a big mistake, which will not be repeated again.
