NYU Students stage Anti-Israel protest by setting up tents outside Stern

Iran’s President warns of ‘massive’ response if Israel commits ‘even the smallest aggression’

Iran's President Ebrahim Raisi, in a recent statement, has issued a stark warning against Israel. If Israel dares to initiate even the "slightest incursion", Iran would retaliate with a "colossal and severe" response. This piece aims to dissect Raisi's words and decode the underlying significance in the current geopolitical scenario. Raisi's stern warning was delivered during an annual military parade, which, in a departure from tradition, was shifted to a military base in the northern outskirts of Tehran, away from its usual location in the southern fringes of the city.

President Biden warns Iran not to attack Israel – but admits attack will likely happen ‘soon’

"We are devoted to the defence of Israel. We will support Israel. We will help defend Israel and Iran will not succeed," Biden said. It was on the 12th of April, 2024, when President Biden, the 81-year-old leader of the free world, startled the international community with his stern warning to Iran. In the heart of Washington, adjacent to the West Wing, he stood in what many critics have termed as the "fake" White House and delivered words that would reverberate across continents. His message to Iran was simple yet potent, "Don't" attack Israel. This single-worded caution was in response to the escalating tensions between the two Middle Eastern Nations. When probed about the imminence of an attack on Israel, Biden, following his address to Al Sharpton's National Action Network, expre...
