The Washington Post report claimed that Indian officials had prepared a proposal in May 2025 under which a plan was being made to transfer approximately $3.9 billion of investment of government insurance company LIC to Adani Group companies. However, LIC has strongly refuted this report on October 25 calling it completely false and misleading. LIC said in its statement that this news seems to have been published with the aim of influencing their decision making process and damaging their reputation. The company clarified that any investment decisions are taken only after board-approved policies and detailed due diligence, and any external pressure has no role in it. The report also said that LIC had invested $570 million in Adani Ports & SEZ in May 2025, while international surveillance on Adani Group was going on at that time. But LIC pointed out that its portfolio is diversified and its exposure to Adani Group is only less than 2% of the total loans. Both LIC and Adani have completely rejected these allegations, which has brought relief to investors. Now all eyes will be on the Stock Market Reaction of Monday (27 October).

Iran israel conflict: The tension between Iran and Israel is constantly on boil, but now a report of the Washington Post has revealed the planning behind this confrontation. According to the report, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu decided to attack Iran before meeting US President Donald Trump in April. The attack was not part of the strategy made months ago, not based on any sudden intelligence information.

Preparations for the attack on Iran were already running
In October 2024, the Israeli Air Force and intelligence agencies demolished Iran’s aerial security system and Hizbullah was also severely damaged. Israeli agencies formulated a hit list of Iranian nuclear scientists and military officers, making it clear that the attack was just waiting for the time. By March 2025, Israel had reached the conclusion whether America would have to attack Iran by June.

Netanyahu’s order- “Eliminate scientists”
On Israeli TV, Netanyahu said in clear terms, “We will target scientists and finish them.” Mossad had monitored Iranian scientists for years. Drone and missile launchers were sent to Iran under a secret operation, killing at least 10 senior scientists. Also, Iran’s nuclear and missile programs were deeply damaged. The attack was not an immediate reaction, but the implementation of the decision taken months ago, which was finalized only two weeks ago.

America’s opposition and Trump’s separate opinion
Although Israeli intelligence agencies suspected that Iranian scientists were re -working on nuclear weapons, the American intelligence community believed that Tehran had not given any such order. Despite this, Donald Trump dismissed these assaults, saying that Iran is “very close” to acquiring atomic bombs.

Former Israeli intelligence officer Danny Citrinovich criticized the decision, saying, “We should have given a chance to the diplomatic path as well. The operation has given us military success, but its strategic risk is very heavy.”

Netanyahu’s only goal for 30 years
Netanyahu has been considering Iran’s nuclear program as a threat to Israel’s security for the last three decades. One of his advisors even said that “Most of the scientists we were watching are now in hell.”

The conversation of a father and son, who holds different places in both India’s politics and international journalism, has caught everyone’s attention these days. This was not a common conversation, but an interview, where the son was taking interview and the father was answering questions. The occasion was the all-party delegation led by Shashi Tharoor about ‘Operation Sindoor’ in America and his son Ishaan Tharoor was questioning.

Ishaan Tharoor is a columnist of global affairs in America’s famous newspaper Washington Post. He asked his father and Congress MP Shashi Tharoor serious questions. The most important question in the conversation was about the terrorist attack in Pahalgam in Jammu and Kashmir, in which many innocent tourists lost their lives.

Ishaan’s twin brother Kanishka Tharoor is also a writer. Ishaan has been raised and educated in an entire international environment.

Education and career
