UK rejects Trump’s anti-Muslim propaganda on social media

The United Kingdom has once again distanced from US President Donald Trump for his anti-Muslim propaganda saying he was “wrong” to share the videos posted by Jayda Fransen, the deputy leader of Britain first, a far- right and ultra- nationalist political group.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]However, according to a latest BBC report, Donald Trump has told British PM Theresa May to focus on “terrorism” in UK.

The spokesperson further said, “British people overwhelmingly reject the prejudiced rhetoric of the far-right, which is the antithesis of the values that this country represents — decency, tolerance and respect.”

However the British spokesperson said that US President Donald Trump’s upcoming 2018 state visit for now remains on.

This is the second time within few months when UK has publicly differed US administration on a Muslim related issue. Tension between US and UK surfaced in September when British foreign secretary Boris Johnson urged the world to have faith in nuclear deal potential to create more open Iran, while his US counterpart Rex Tillerson argued Iran was not fulfilling the deal’s expectations. Most of the European countries and other UN Security Council permanent members, except US, are supporting the continuation of the Iran nuclear deal.

UK rejects Trump’s anti-Muslim propaganda on social media

Fransen was convicted by British court in 2016 for harassing women wearing Islamic veil (hijab). She is banned from entering mosques in UK for her “regular mosque invasions”.

Meanwhile, Jeremy Corbyn, the opposition Labour Party leader in British parliament called Trump’s re-tweets “abhorrent, dangerous and a threat to our society.”[/vc_column_text][vc_raw_html]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[/vc_raw_html][vc_column_text]David Lammy, another Labour lawmaker told US President that he was “not welcome in my country and my city.”[/vc_column_text][vc_raw_html]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[/vc_raw_html][vc_column_text]Similarly the Muslim Council of Britain has urged the country’s authorities to distance themselves from Trump and his comments.[/vc_column_text][vc_raw_html]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[/vc_raw_html][vc_column_text]The videos posted by far-right Britain First deputy leader Jayda Fransen, depict purported Muslims assaulting people and in one video smashing a statue of the Virgin Mary.

Donald Trump, who had during his early days in white House warned that immigration from Muslim majority nations threatens European and US security, frequently re-tweets other messages whose political views he finds matching those of his own.

Jayda Fransen was encouraged by Trump’s re-tweet and expressed thanks to US president. She said that “GOD BLESS YOU TRUMP!” all in capital letters.

Meanwhile white House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders defended Trump’s re-tweets saying that he shared the videos to start a conversation about border security and immigration. He was quoted saying, “I think his goal is to promote strong borders and strong national security.”

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) responded to Trump’s move by calling “incitement of violence against American Muslims”

“By his unconscionable and irresponsible actions this morning, President Trump is clearly telling members of his base that they should hate Islam and Muslims,” said Nihad Awad, the national executive director of CAIR.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Israel-Lebanon ceasefire to begin within hours as Trump announces 10-day truce

Israel and Lebanon may begin a 10-day ceasefire within hours after a proposal announced by Donald Trump amid ongoing tensions.

Published

Donald Trump

A temporary halt in hostilities between Israel and Lebanon is expected to begin within hours after US President Donald Trump announced a proposed 10-day ceasefire between the two sides, amid ongoing tensions in the region.

According to his statement, the ceasefire is likely to take effect around 5 p.m. Eastern Time, although independent confirmation from both sides is still awaited.

The development follows discussions involving Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Lebanese President Joseph Aoun, with mediation efforts led by the United States.

Officials indicated that the proposed truce is aimed at creating a limited window to reduce violence and potentially pave the way for broader diplomatic engagement. The situation along the Israel-Lebanon border has remained tense in recent weeks, with escalation linked to the activities of Hezbollah.

Diplomatic efforts have intensified in recent days, with discussions facilitated by the United States, including the involvement of US Secretary of State Marco Rubio. However, details of the agreement and the extent of coordination between the parties remain unclear.

The situation remains fluid, and the success of the ceasefire will depend on adherence by all sides involved. The conflict has already led to significant humanitarian and geopolitical consequences, including displacement and disruption in affected areas.

While the proposed ceasefire is being seen as an important step toward de-escalation, broader negotiations involving regional stakeholders are expected to be necessary for any lasting resolution.

US ends oil sanctions waiver for Iran and Russia, impact likely on India’s energy imports

The US decision to end the Iran and Russia oil waiver may impact India’s oil imports, fuel prices and global energy markets.

Published

on

US oil tanker

The United States has decided not to extend a temporary sanctions waiver that allowed limited trade in Iranian and Russian oil, marking a shift towards stricter enforcement of economic restrictions.

The waiver, introduced in March 2026, had permitted the sale of oil already loaded on ships to stabilise global supply during heightened geopolitical tensions. However, it is now set to expire around mid-April without renewal.

US officials have indicated that the move is part of a broader strategy to increase pressure on both Iran and Russia amid ongoing conflicts and geopolitical tensions.

What the waiver did and why it mattered

The short-term waiver allowed millions of barrels of oil—estimated at around 140 million barrels—to enter global markets, helping ease supply shortages and prevent sharp price spikes.

It also enabled countries like India to purchase discounted crude oil from Russia and resume limited imports from Iran after years of restrictions.

Impact on India

India, one of the world’s largest oil importers, is expected to feel the impact of the decision in several ways:

  • Reduced access to discounted oil
    India had been buying cheaper Russian crude and recently resumed Iranian imports under the waiver. Its end may limit these options.
  • Potential rise in fuel costs
    With fewer discounted supplies available, India may need to rely more on costlier sources, which could increase domestic fuel prices.
  • Supply diversification pressure
    India may need to explore alternative suppliers in the Middle East, Africa, or the US to maintain energy security.
  • Geopolitical balancing challenge
    The move adds pressure on India to align with US sanctions while managing its own economic interests.

Global energy market concerns

The end of the waiver comes at a time when global oil markets are already under stress due to conflict in West Asia and disruptions in key routes like the Strait of Hormuz.

Analysts warn that tightening sanctions could:

  • Reduce global oil supply
  • Increase price volatility
  • Intensify competition among major buyers like India and China

Bigger picture

The US decision reflects a broader shift from temporary relief measures to stricter enforcement of sanctions, even if it risks tightening global energy markets.

For India, the development highlights a recurring challenge—balancing affordable energy access with geopolitical realities.

Sanctioned tanker fails to breach US blockade, turns back near Strait of Hormuz

A US-sanctioned tanker failed to cross the Hormuz blockade and turned back, underscoring rising tensions and disruption in global shipping routes.

Published

A US-sanctioned oil tanker failed to break through a newly imposed American naval blockade and was forced to turn back near the Strait of Hormuz, highlighting growing tensions in the region.

The vessel, identified as the Rich Starry, reversed its course after attempting to exit the Gulf, according to shipping data. The development comes just days after the United States enforced restrictions on ships linked to Iranian ports.

The blockade was announced by Donald Trump following the collapse of recent diplomatic talks with Iran. The move aims to restrict maritime traffic associated with Iranian trade.

Officials said that during the first 24 hours of enforcement, no vessel successfully crossed the blockade. Several ships, including the sanctioned tanker, complied with instructions from US forces and turned back toward regional waters.

The tanker is reported to be linked to a Chinese company previously sanctioned for dealing with Iran. It was carrying a cargo of methanol loaded from the United Arab Emirates at the time of the incident.

The situation underscores the rising risks in one of the world’s most critical oil transit routes. The Strait of Hormuz typically handles a significant share of global energy shipments, but traffic has sharply declined due to ongoing geopolitical tensions.

The blockade, which applies specifically to vessels travelling to or from Iranian ports, has added further uncertainty for shipping companies, insurers and global energy markets.
