'Nothing Implies This, Buffoons': US Says Not Considering Nukes Against Iran

US Vice President JD Vance warned Iran on Tuesday, hours before President Donald Trump's deadline ended at 8 pm EST (5.30 am IST), that America has "tools in our toolkit that we so far haven't decided to use". He expressed "hope", however, that negotiations would prevent their deployment.

The reference to tools heightened fears that the US, which seems to be unsure about an end goal for the war, would use a nuclear weapon against Iran. An account associated with former vice president Kamala Harris also said Vance's remarks implied Trump "might use nuclear weapons".

The White House took to X to quash the speculation and, in the same breath, insult those who thought it was a possibility. "Literally nothing @VP said here 'implies' this, you absolute buffoons," the White House's handle posted.

Trump's Big Warning To Iran

Earlier in the day, Trump had issued a big warning to Iran and said that the "whole civilisation will die tonight". In a post on Truth Social, he said that, although he does not want it to happen, "it probably will".

"A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don't want that to happen, but it probably will," he wrote.

He said that tonight will be "one of the most important moments" in world history, as 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death will "finally end."

Iran's Response To Trump

The Iranian Embassy in South Africa replied to Trump, saying, "You and your allies will suffer an unforgettable hit from the ancient civilisation of Iran". Another Iranian Embassy in Turkiye also hit back saying, a "psychopath's threat" will not end what time could not. 

The post read, "Alexander burned it. The Mongols ravaged it. History tested it. Iran is still here. A psychopath's threats won't end what time couldn't."

Sarfaraz "Not Even Being Allowed To Fail": Questions Raised On Selectors

-
https://ift.tt/gjQfS59 Sarfaraz Khan 's long absence from the Indian Test team has raised quite a few eyebrows. Several former players feel that the Mumbai batter, who has not played a Test since November 2024, deserves a chance in the squad. Former India player Aakash Chopra believes Sarfaraz has fallen victim to a perception battle. The 28-year-old has so far played six Tests, scoring 371 runs at an average of 37.10. He has three fifties and one century to his name. "I think there is a clarity issue in the case of Sarfaraz. I think it is a case of perception and understanding. I am trying to think-they might have a perception that he may not do as well in swinging conditions or play fast bowling well. Maybe he is not our guy in SENA countries. So he did not get the chance. But even to make that perception, I have to allow him to fail. He is not even being allowed to fail. And now there is no place in the team as well," Chopra said on Shubhankar Mishra's YouTube ch...

Wild Elephant Rips Off Camera After Spotting It, Forest Officer Shares Video

-
https://ift.tt/kE6JKcG Elephants are one of the most social and intelligent animals on the planet, known for their strong awareness of surroundings and protective herd dynamics. A recent video circulating on social media highlighted this intelligence, where an elephant expressed its clear displeasure when its personal space was intruded upon by humans and their recording devices. The 28-second video shared by Indian Forest Service (IFS) officer Parveen Kaswan shows a wild elephant charging towards the camera and clattering into it after spotting the device from afar. After the camera falls on the ground, the elephant calmly walks away from the spot, having completed its objective. "Privacy is important !! The moment this elephant noticed something unnatural setup (a camera) it decided to remove it. How intelligent," wrote Kaswan on X (formerly Twitter). "IR and White Flash cameras are installed in park for population and habitat study. Currently, 210 such cameras are...
