The second F-15 airman had been missing for hours. Iran, according to President Donald Trump, had no idea. Then a "mole" leaked the information to the media, and a hunt began. "They Didn't Know There Was Somebody Missing" Speaking in the White House briefing room on Monday, Trump said a media report revealing that US forces had rescued one F-15 crew member but were still searching for a second had complicated the rescue operation by alerting Iran. "We're looking very hard to find that leaker. They basically said that we have one, and there's somebody missing. Well, [Iran] didn't know there was somebody missing until this leaker gave the information," Trump said. Trump said the disclosure forced the US military into a far more difficult position. "It became a much more difficult operation because a leaker leaked that we have one, we've rescued one, but there's another one out there that we're trying to get," he sai...

Royal Challengers Bengaluru mentor Dinesh Karthik believes it will be difficult to keep Devdutt Padikkal out of the Indian team for long, given the manner in which he is batting in IPL 2026 following stellar domestic performances. Padikkal starred in RCB's big win against Chennai Super Kings on Sunday, scoring a blistering 50 off 29 balls. Asked about Padikkal's composed knock at the Chinnaswamy Stadium, Karthik, who is also RCB's batting coach, highlighted his composure during a tough initial phase before opening up. "The first thing that stands out is his determination. On a pitch like this, when runs don't come easily at the start, many batters try to force a big shot and end up giving their wicket away. Devdutt showed great courage to stay patient when the going was tough," Karthik told Star Sports. Karthik also suggested that Padikkal's current form would make it difficult for the BCCI selection committee to keep him out of the Indian team for much ...

Navy SEAL Team 6 special operations troops went into the mountains of Iran on Saturday night to rescue the missing US F-15 airman. But before that, the mission came close to never launching at all. US President Donald Trump told Axios that when a radio message came through from the stranded weapons systems officer of the downed F-15E, US officials initially suspected it was an Iranian deception designed to lure American forces into a trap. Trump told the US news outlet the airman sent a short, unusual message after ejecting from the aircraft. "He said: 'Power be to God.'"  After the radio message came through, they suspected he might already be in Iranian custody and that the Iranians were "sending false signals" to draw US forces in. Trump also said the US military had "beeping information" about the officer's location, which was being tracked even as doubts about the radio message grew. As per the report, people who knew the officer con...

NASA's monumental Artemis II mission successfully launched from Florida's Kennedy Space Center on Wednesday (Apr 1), carried by the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and Orion spacecraft. While millions watched the historic liftoff, a brief security lapse caught the attention of eagle-eyed space enthusiasts, who spotted mission commander Reid Wiseman inadvertently broadcast his tablet PIN to the global audience while preparing for launch. The incident took place 19 minutes before Wednesday's launch as Wiseman, 50, grabbed his stylus and entered the four-digit code, with the camera focused on him. As the incident went viral, social media users joked that Wiseman should have been informed by the NASA team to practice extra caution while entering the password. "My guy just typed his iPad PIN directly into a 4K overhead shot, unlocking it for the entire planet. Command module getting opensourced but it's ok because it's for the gram," said one user while ano...

Two more Congress leaders have come out in support of the NDA government's handling of the war in the Middle-East, deviating sharply from the party stand. While former Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh, Kamal Nath, flatly said there is no LPG crisis, Anand Sharma, the foreign minister in the erstwhile UPA government, applauded India's "diplomatic handling of the crisis" in a series of posts on X, formerly Twitter. In what could amplify any trouble within the party, he added, "National unity and a mature response guided by national interest is the need of the hour". Earlier, Congress's Shashi Tharoor and Manish Tewari had deviated from the party stand regarding the war in the Middle-East. The party, though, had not commented on the matter. The two leaders' comments had left the party red-faced earlier also, especially on the matter of Operation Sindoor. The party had benched them during the Op Sindoor debate in parliament. This time, two more leaders...

US President Donald Trump fired Attorney General Pam Bondi over her handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files and what he sees as a lack of aggression in targeting his enemies. Trump was reportedly 'frustrated' with Bondi, according to the Associated Press. Pam "will be transitioning to a much needed and important new job in the private sector," Trump announced on his Truth Social platform. "Our Deputy Attorney General, and a very talented and respected Legal Mind, Todd Blanche, will step in to serve as Acting Attorney General", he said. The report says that Trump has privately discussed replacing Bondi with Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin. Zeldin, a former Republican congressman from New York, has been publicly and privately praised by Trump, who at an event in February described him as “our secret weapon.” Bondi, a former state attorney general in Florida and a Trump loyalist who was part of his legal team during his first impea...

The buzz around Ramayana just got louder, and not entirely for the right reasons. As excitement builds for Ranbir Kapoor's look as Lord Rama, the makers made a surprising move. The first visuals were unveiled in Los Angeles. Not in India. Fans back home noticed, and they are not happy. A Grand Reveal... But Not At Home? Ranbir Kapoor, along with director Nitesh Tiwari and producer Namit Malhotra, travelled to Los Angeles to present the first visuals of Ramayana to a select global audience. While the move signals the film's massive international ambitions, it has also left many Indian fans feeling sidelined. After all, this isn't just any story-it's Ramayana, an epic deeply woven into Indian culture. So when the first glimpse went to an audience miles away, reactions online were swift and sharp. Internet Reactions Reddit, in particular, saw a wave of reactions, with users questioning the strategy and expressing frustration. A user wrote, "How is promoting ...

Following the back-to-back success of Dhurandhar and its sequel, Dhurandhar: The Revenge, actor R Madhavan has caught the internet's attention for his defence acumen. In a series of posts on X (formerly Twitter), from over a decade ago, Madhavan suggested that the Indian government should opt for French-made Rafale fighter jets instead of other American and European options. In the Aditya Dhar-directed spy thrillers, Madhavan portrays Ajay Sanyal, a character inspired by India's National Security Advisor (NSA), Ajit Doval. Impressed by Madhavan's defence takes, social media users joked that the actor had been preparing to play Sanyal's character for years. "My strongest recommendation to the Air Force would be to go for the Rafale. Between the F18, F16, Eurofighter Typhoon, Gripen and the Mig 35," wrote Madhavan in a post dated December 10, 2011. "The most agile and effortless was the Rafale. Had a very duty-bound tech feel about it. The rockstar is ce...
