According to a report by The Wall Street Journal, Iranian naval authorities communicated over radio frequencies that any vessel crossing the strait without explicit permission from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy would face the risk of being targeted. 

The development comes in the backdrop of a temporary pause in hostilities between the United States and Iran. US President Donald Trump has agreed to halt military action against Iran for a period of two weeks, conditional upon the uninterrupted and secure reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.

Despite the ceasefire arrangement, reports indicate that maritime activity in the region remains subdued, with several vessels choosing to stay put amid uncertainty. Visual evidence cited by the publication suggests continued military presence, including aircraft patrols over the Persian Gulf, reflecting the fragile nature of the situation.

The Strait of Hormuz, a narrow channel between Iran and Oman measuring roughly 34 km at its widest point, is one of the world’s most critical energy corridors. A significant share of global oil shipments, along with other essential commodities such as fertilisers, pass through this route, making any disruption a matter of international concern.

Earlier, Trump had escalated rhetoric by warning of severe consequences, but later confirmed a de-escalation effort through a ceasefire announcement on his social media platform. He stated that the proposal for a temporary truce had been put forward by Shehbaz Sharif, with support from Pakistan’s military leadership under Asim Munir.

While the agreement signals a pause in direct confrontation, the situation in and around the Strait of Hormuz continues to be closely monitored, given its global economic significance and the persistent military presence in the region.

Speaking to reporters, Hegseth asserted that Washington’s large-scale offensive had severely weakened Iran’s defence capabilities. He emphasised that Iran’s missile infrastructure had been rendered largely ineffective after the strikes.

According to him, the operation involved an extensive overnight assault, during which US forces reportedly carried out around 800 strikes targeting key military and industrial installations. He claimed these attacks had devastated Iran’s defence production network, leaving several facilities completely destroyed.

Hegseth further alleged that Iran’s leadership had also been impacted during the offensive. He stated that Mojtaba Khamenei, whom he referred to as Iran’s new Supreme Leader, had been injured in joint US-Israeli strikes, though he did not provide any supporting evidence.

The remarks came shortly after Washington and Tehran reached an agreement on a temporary ceasefire expected to last two weeks, raising questions about the broader implications of the recent escalation in tensions.

Iran, in its proposed 10-point ceasefire plan, included a provision allowing both Tehran and Muscat to charge transit fees on ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz. However, Oman rejected the idea, stating that “no tolls can be imposed for crossing Hormuz.”

Oman’s Transport Minister said the country has agreements in place that guarantee ships can pass through the strait without any charges. He stressed Oman’s commitment to maintaining free and secure navigation through this key maritime route.

The 34-kilometre-wide stretch of water between Iran and Oman is considered an international waterway, and neither country has historically imposed tolls. The strait is a vital chokepoint, handling about one-fifth of the world’s oil trade.

Iran, however, has argued that the proposed fees would help fund post-war reconstruction, as the conflict has caused significant damage to its defence, administrative, and civilian infrastructure.

What is Iran proposing?

Iran wants any long-term peace agreement—following the war triggered by US and Israeli strikes on February 28—to allow it to charge ships passing through the strait, according to a senior Iranian official cited by Reuters.

The proposed fee would depend on factors such as the type of vessel, its cargo, and other prevailing conditions, though details remain unclear.

Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabdi said Tehran is working on a framework with Oman that would require ships to obtain permits or licences before transiting the strait, describing the move as a way to regulate and facilitate passage rather than restrict it.

Oman had earlier confirmed discussions with Iran on ensuring smooth transit through the strait, but had not indicated any agreement on imposing such measures.

The sudden surge in the infections has raised alarming concerns over gaps in immunisation and public health concerns. According to the reports, over 900 confirmed cases and more than 7,500 suspected infections have been recorded since March 2026, with the outbreak affecting a majority of districts across the country.

The outbreak gained momentum in March 2026 and more than 900 confirmed cases have been reported across the country. The majority of deaths have occurred among young children, particularly those under five.

Hospitals and health institutes are struggling to contain the outbreak and facing difficulties in coping with influx of patients, asserting that the actual number may be significantly higher than that reported. 

Adding a layer to woes, the situation seems more concerning as many affected children are either unvaccinated or too young to have received their first routine measles dose. 

The outbreak is primarily driven by a key concern—gaps in vaccination coverage. Health officials report that many of the affected children were either not vaccinated or had missed routine immunisation doses, making them more susceptible to infection. According to the WHO, at least 95% coverage with two doses is necessary to prevent measles outbreaks, and even minor drops can enable the virus to spread quickly.

Globally, measles is often the first disease to reappear when immunisation systems weaken, highlighting shortcomings in public health infrastructure. Although Bangladesh had made notable progress in vaccination over the years, recent disruptions have undone some of these gains. Experts attribute this to delays in immunisation programmes, including missed campaigns during periods of political unrest and strain on the healthcare system. Routine vaccination drives, particularly those aimed at infants, were interrupted, resulting in a group of children with little or no protection against the disease.

A large number of cases have been reported among children under five, especially infants. Many of those affected are younger than nine months—the age at which the first measles vaccine dose is usually given—making them particularly vulnerable. UNICEF has cautioned that immunity gaps in this age group can quickly lead to widespread outbreaks.

Vaccine shortages and supply challenges

Shortages of vaccines and delays in procurement have further worsened the situation. Public health experts have pointed to weaknesses in vaccine stock management and distribution, which have restricted availability in high-risk areas. These issues are compounded by unequal access to healthcare across regions, leaving some communities significantly under-immunised.

The truce, announced by Donald Trump on Tuesday, is expected to ease immediate hostilities in the region. As part of the agreement, Iran will also reopen the strategically crucial Strait of Hormuz, a key global oil transit route that carries nearly 20 percent of the world’s petroleum supply.

The ceasefire comes amid rising fears of prolonged conflict impacting global energy markets and regional stability. While the development is being seen as a significant diplomatic breakthrough, several countries have urged both nations to remain committed to dialogue and avoid further escalation.

Below is a snapshot of how nations have responded:

Iraq

Iraq’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs welcomed the ceasefire but stressed that sustained peace would depend on strict adherence by both Washington and Tehran. The ministry underscored the importance of dialogue and cautioned against any actions that could reignite tensions. Iraq, which has witnessed repeated flare-ups involving US forces and Iran-backed groups, called for restraint on all sides.

Egypt

Egypt described the ceasefire as a crucial opportunity to prioritise diplomacy over conflict. Its foreign ministry highlighted the need to halt military operations completely and ensure freedom of international navigation. Cairo also indicated it would continue working alongside Pakistan and Turkiye to support regional stability, while emphasising the importance of addressing Gulf nations’ security concerns during upcoming talks.

Israel

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu backed the US decision to pause strikes, stating that efforts must continue to neutralise what he described as threats posed by Iran. However, he clarified that the ceasefire does not extend to Lebanon, where Israeli forces remain engaged in conflict with Hezbollah.

Oman

Oman welcomed the announcement and acknowledged Pakistan’s role in facilitating dialogue. Its foreign ministry called for intensified diplomatic efforts aimed at resolving the crisis at its roots and achieving a permanent end to hostilities in the region.

United Nations

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres urged all parties to honour the ceasefire, stressing that it could pave the way for a broader and lasting peace. He also highlighted the urgent need to protect civilian lives and reduce humanitarian suffering, while appreciating the role of Pakistan and other mediators.

Japan

Japan termed the ceasefire a “positive move” and expressed hope that it would lead to a comprehensive agreement. Officials reiterated that de-escalation in the Middle East remains a key priority for Tokyo.

Indonesia

Indonesia called on both nations to respect each other’s sovereignty and pursue diplomacy. The country also urged an investigation into the deaths of its UN peacekeepers killed in recent violence in Lebanon.

Malaysia

Malaysia described the truce as a meaningful step toward restoring stability in the Middle East. It urged all parties to fully implement the agreement in good faith and avoid any actions that could disrupt fragile regional peace or impact global energy security.

Australia

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, along with Foreign Minister Penny Wong, welcomed the development and warned of the broader economic consequences of prolonged conflict. They noted that disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz had already triggered significant shocks to global energy supplies.

New Zealand

Foreign Minister Winston Peters described the ceasefire as encouraging but emphasised that more work is needed to secure a durable peace. He pointed to the widespread impact the conflict has had beyond the Middle East.

Germany

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz praised the ceasefire and acknowledged Pakistan’s mediation efforts. He stressed that the focus must now shift to achieving a long-term resolution through diplomatic negotiations.

Ukraine

Ukraine welcomed the agreement and linked it to broader global conflicts. Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha called for similar decisive action to end the ongoing war with Russia, suggesting that strong diplomatic pressure can deliver results.

Amid all the appreciation, a social media post by Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has triggered widespread debate after an apparent 'draft message' inadvertently published on X and later edited. 

The message swiftly drew attention with netizens suggesting that the inclusion of the word 'Draft' signals that the post may have not been intended for public in its original form until approved. 

Within a short span, the tweet was edited, removing the draft label but retaining the core content.

The original text of the tweet is: "Draft - Pakistan's PM Message on X Diplomatic efforts for peaceful settlement of the ongoing war in the Middle East are progressing steadily, strongly and powerfully with the potential to lead to substantive results in near future. To allow diplomacy to run its course, I earnestly request President Trump to extend the deadline for two weeks. Pakistan, in all sincerity, requests the Iranian brothers to open Strait of Hormuz for a corresponding period of two weeks as a goodwill gesture. We also urge all warring parties to observe a ceasefire everywhere for two weeks to allow diplomacy to achieve conclusive termination of war, in the interest of long-term peace and stability in the region."

The edited text remained largely unchanged with only removal of the word draft. 

The episode has since sparked speculation over possible gaps in internal communication and the handling of sensitive diplomatic messaging in the digital era.

The tweet was intended for reference to the United States’ decision to pause its bombing campaign for two weeks and consider Iran’s 10-point proposal, which was described as a “workable” basis for negotiations.

In a statement shortly after Trump's announcement on Tuesday night, Iran’s Supreme National Security Council said the US had suspended its “bombing and attack” campaign and accepted the two-week, “double-sided” ceasefire after being compelled by Tehran’s military and political pressure.

“Iran achieved a great victory and forced the criminal America to accept its 10-point plan,” the Council said, claiming that Washington had agreed to key demands including guarantees of non-aggression, recognition of Iran’s nuclear enrichment rights, lifting of sanctions, and withdrawal of US forces from the region.

Meanwhile Iran also explicitly mentioned that the ceasefire does not mean an end to hostilities. It said that the pause in fighting is conditional and tied to negotiations over Washington's compliance to Tehran's conditions. It also further warned that the battle could continue it its demands are not met.  

"This does not mean an end to the war and Iran will accept an end to the war only when, in view of Iran's acceptance of the principles envisaged in the 10-point plan, its details are also finalised in the negotiations," it added.

According to Iran’s semi-official Mehr News Agency, the proposal presented in negotiations with the US includes:

A US commitment to ensure no further acts of aggression against Iran

Continued Iranian control over the Strait of Hormuz

Acceptance of Iran’s uranium enrichment rights

Lifting of all primary sanctions

Lifting of all secondary sanctions

Termination of all resolutions against Iran by the UN Security Council

Termination of resolutions by the International Atomic Energy Agency’s Board of Governors

Payment of damages to Iran for war losses

Withdrawal of US combat forces from the region

Cessation of hostilities across all fronts, including Lebanon

Meanwhile Iran agreed to a two-week ceasefire, opening a diplomatic window to de-escalate the 40-day conflict and Tehran also accepted the truce and agreed to conditionally reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

"I hold off the destructive force being sent tonight to Iran, and subject to the Islamic Republic of Iran agreeing to the COMPLETE, IMMEDIATE, and SAFE OPENING of the Strait of Hormuz, I agree to suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks," Trump announced.

“If attacks on Iran are halted, our powerful armed forces will cease their defensive operations,” Iran said, adding it is considering the US request for negotiations based on its 15-point proposal, along with Washington’s acceptance of Iran’s 10-point plan as a framework for talks.

In a post on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), Iran's Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi wrote, "If attacks against Iran are halted, our Powerful Armed Forces will cease their defensive operations."

Araghchi also expressed gratitude and appreciation for his "dear brothers" - Shehbaz Sharif and Asim Munir. He thanked them for their "tireless efforts to end the war in the region."

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has warned that it will retaliate beyond the region and could cut off oil and gas supplies to the United States and its allies “for years” if Washington crosses its “red lines” by targeting civilian facilities.

In a fresh warning, the US President stated, “An entire civilisation could perish tonight,” as the deadline he set for the complete reopening of the Strait of Hormuz ends at 8 pm. 

Meanwhile, Tehran announced that it has immediately halted all direct and indirect communication channels with Washington. The conflict, which began on February 28, has now entered its sixth week with no indication of de-escalation.

Indian Embassy in Tehran issues advisory

The Indian Embassy in Tehran on Tuesday issued an advisory asking Indian nationals in Iran to stay put for the next 48 hours, remain indoors and avoid visiting electrical sites, military areas and upper floors of high-rise buildings.

Citizens accommodated in hotels arranged by the embassy have been directed to stay inside and remain in constant touch with the teams stationed on-site. All Indian nationals have also been urged to keep a close watch on official updates, while emergency helplines continue to remain active.

Iranian embassy in South Africa responds

The Iran embassy in South Africa took to X and responded to Trump's threats. “You and your allies will suffer an unforgettable hit from the ancient civilization of Iran,” it said in an X post.

Tensions mount

Key infrastructure targeted

Besides Kharg Island, several other locations were also targeted. Bridges in Qom and Kashan were struck during the attacks. Near Kashan, a railway bridge in Yahyabad was hit, resulting in the death of two persons and injuries to three others.

Another strike targeted a bridge on the Tabriz–Zanjan highway in northwestern Iran, indicating a broader focus on disrupting transport and infrastructure networks.

Strikes follow Trump’s warning

The attacks came shortly after US President Donald Trump warned Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz by 8 pm (US time) on Tuesday or face military action against key installations. The Strait of Hormuz is a crucial global oil route, through which nearly 20% of the world’s oil supply passes.

Iran launches retaliatory strike

Following the attacks, Iran responded by launching a strike in Sharjah, UAE. Tehran had earlier warned that it would not remain silent and would target US interests and its allies in the region if provoked.

Trump issues strong threat

Trump reiterated his hard stance, stating that Iran could be “wiped out in a single night” if it failed to reach an agreement with the United States before the deadline. He added that while talks with Iranian leaders were ongoing, it remained unclear whether a deal would be achieved.

Iran rejects ceasefire proposal

Iran has rejected a temporary ceasefire proposal, insisting instead on a permanent solution. It has demanded the removal of sanctions as part of any agreement.

From 48 hours to over two weeks

The standoff began on March 22, when Trump issued a sharp 48-hour ultimatum to Iran, warning of strikes on key energy sites if it failed to comply. However, that initial deadline has since stretched to nearly 408 hours.

Just before the first deadline expired, Trump announced a five-day pause, citing “productive conversations” with Tehran. This was followed by another extension, pushing the deadline further into early April. Most recently, he granted an additional 24 hours, setting April 7 as the new cutoff.

Tough talk continues

Despite repeatedly delaying action, Trump has maintained a hard stance. He has warned that failure to reach an agreement could lead to attacks on Iran’s energy infrastructure.

In one of his latest remarks, he indicated that a deal is still possible but made it clear that military action remains on the table if talks fail.

Negotiations still underway

Backchannel diplomacy continues, with reports suggesting that the US and Iran are communicating through mediators such as Pakistan, Turkey and Egypt. While Trump has described the talks as progressing, Iran has reportedly rejected the US proposal and put forward its own terms.

What happens next?

With the deadline now ending today, all eyes are on whether Trump will follow through on his threats or extend the timeline once again.

Given his pattern of delays, another extension cannot be ruled out. However, Trump has insisted that this deadline is final.

The statement clearly warned that being on trains or close to railway tracks could put lives at risk. Along with the message, the Israeli military also shared a graphic in Persian, calling it an “urgent warning” and repeating the same instructions for people across the country.

This alert comes at a time when tensions between Israel and Iran are high. The situation has been tense since late February, after a series of attacks, and both sides have continued to exchange threats and military actions. The United States is also involved in the ongoing conflict alongside Israel.

However, the advisory did not mention any specific cities or railway routes, which has created confusion about where the risk is highest. So far, there has been no official reaction from Iranian authorities regarding this warning.

Even without detailed information, the strong language used in the message shows that the situation is serious. The warning directly targets civilians and public transport.

Citing inputs from a diplomatic memo shared by US-Israeli intelligence sources with its Gulf allies, the report further states that Khamenei is undergoing treatment  at a hospital in the Iranian city of Qom. 

"Mojtaba Khamenei is being treated in Qom in a severe condition, unable to be involved in any decision-making by the regime," the memo reads, as reported by the Times.

Disclosing Supreme Leader's locatin the memo further stated, he is presently residing in the central city, 87 miles south of Tehran, and is considered sacred as per the doctrines of Shia Islam.

The memo also suggests the intelligence agencies of the United States and Israel got hold of the Supreme Leader's location. However, they did not reveal it to the world before.

According to a Wall Street Journal report, the restrictions are placed from March 27 to May 6. Unprecedented airspace closures for such a long period are not very common and signals potential military drills that lost only a few days. 

NOTAMs (Notices to Air Missions) are alerts used to inform pilots and aviation authorities about temporary airspace risks or restrictions. This time, however, no official reason has been given, which has created confusion after military flights around Taiwan were suddenly halted.

Ray Powell, director of the SeaLight project at Stanford University, which tracks Chinese maritime activity, said, "What makes this especially notable is the combination of SFC-UNL with an extraordinary 40-day duration—and no announced exercise. That suggests not a discrete exercise but a sustained operational readiness posture—and one that China apparently doesn't feel the need to explain.”

He added, "If the zones are confirmed to be linked to exercises, the warnings would represent a meaningful shift in how Beijing uses airspace control as a tool of military signalling." 

China has blocked off large areas of airspace, even bigger than Taiwan itself, including regions north and south of Shanghai. These zones stretch from the Yellow Sea near South Korea to the East China Sea near Japan. In the past, China has used such drills to control routes that the US military might use in a possible conflict over Taiwan.

The timing is important because US aircraft carrier groups are currently in the Gulf region instead of the Pacific.

Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump is expected to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping during his visit to China on May 14–15. His trip was earlier planned for late March but was postponed due to unrest in the Middle East.

Before this meeting, officials from both countries held economic and trade talks in Paris in March to prepare for the high-level discussions.

The IRGC confirmed his death stating that he was killed in an attack carried out at dawn, as multiple airstrikes hit areas in and around the Iranian capital.

High-intensity explosions were reported across Tehran after low-flying jets struck several locations, including residential areas. Thick plumes of smoke were seen emanating near Azadi Square, with one strike reportedly hitting near the Sharif University of Technology. 

Iran's IRGC has directly blamed both the US and Israel for the strike that killed its chief without disclosing specific location. 

Notably the killing marks significant escalation in already raging conflict.

In response, Iran fired missiles at Israel and some Gulf countries.

Attacks were reported in Haifa in northern Israel, where at least two people were killed. At the same time, countries like Kuwait, the UAE, and Saudi Arabia activated their air defence systems to stop incoming missiles and drones.

Tensions are also increasing over the Strait of Hormuz, an important route for global oil trade.

US President Donald Trump has warned Iran to reopen the route and threatened to strike important infrastructure if it doesn’t. Iran has hinted it may widen its response, possibly targeting key waterways in the region.

The conflict has already affected energy supplies and caused global oil prices to rise.

Iranian military officials warned that if attacks on civilians continue, they will respond more strongly. They said future attacks would be bigger and target enemy interests across the region. 

According to sources cited by Reuters, the proposal outlines a two-stage approach. It begins with an immediate ceasefire, followed by negotiations toward a broader and more lasting agreement. The plan is informally being referred to as the “Islamabad Accord.”

Efforts to push the deal forward have involved multiple stakeholders. Pakistan’s Army Chief Asim Munir has reportedly remained in constant contact with US Vice President JD Vance, special envoy Steve Witkoff, and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi to discuss the framework.

However, Iran has taken a firm position on key conditions. A senior official said Tehran will not agree to reopen the Strait of Hormuz during a temporary truce and is unwilling to accept external pressure or strict deadlines.

Earlier reports by Axios suggested that negotiators were exploring a possible 45-day ceasefire as part of the initial phase. This could potentially create space for a more permanent resolution to the ongoing conflict.

The latest developments come shortly after US President Donald Trump issued a strong warning to Iran. He threatened strikes on Iranian energy and transport infrastructure if Tehran failed to reopen the strategic waterway. 

Trump had initially set a deadline for Iran, which was later extended by 20 hours to Tuesday evening. While he indicated that negotiations were still underway, he also warned of severe consequences if discussions fail.

Meanwhile, the conflict in the region continues to escalate. Airstrikes were reported on Monday, more than five weeks after the United States and Israel began sustained military action against Iran on February 28. The ongoing violence has led to heavy casualties and triggered a sharp rise in global oil prices.

In response, Iran has effectively shut down the Strait of Hormuz, a vital route that carries nearly one-fifth of the world’s oil and gas supplies. Tehran has also launched strikes targeting US and Israeli military positions, along with key energy infrastructure across the Gulf region.

Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi wrote to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, condemning the US-Israeli attacks on Iran’s nuclear facilities. He said repeated strikes near the Bushehr plant pose serious risks to people and the environment, not just in Iran but across the region.

Araghchi described the situation as “intolerable” and warned that any radioactive leak could affect neighbouring countries, especially in the Gulf region. He even claimed the plant had been hit four times and said any fallout could threaten nearby Gulf capitals more than Tehran.

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) confirmed that a projectile struck near the plant recently. One staff member was killed by fragments, and a building was damaged, but importantly, no increase in radiation levels has been detected so far.

IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi expressed serious concern, stressing that nuclear facilities should never be targeted, as even nearby structures may contain critical safety systems. He urged all sides to show restraint and follow nuclear safety rules during conflict.

Meanwhile, Iran’s Tasnim news agency reported that the main parts of the plant were not damaged and that electricity production is continuing normally. The Bushehr plant, located on Iran’s Gulf coast, is the country’s only working nuclear power facility and is considered highly sensitive.

US President Donald Trump confirmed the news, saying that the crew member from the downed F-15E Strike Eagle is now “safe and sound”.

Iranian officials had earlier claimed that their air defence systems shot down the jet on Friday, marking the first such incident in the ongoing conflict. After the crash, both US and Iranian forces searched for the two crew members — the US trying to rescue them, and Iran trying to capture them.

"My fellow Americans, over the past several hours, the United States Military pulled off one of the most daring Search and Rescue Operations in US History, for one of our incredible Crew Member Officers, who also happens to be a highly respected Colonel," he wrote.

"This brave Warrior was behind enemy lines in the treacherous mountains of Iran, being hunted down by our enemies, who were getting closer and closer by the hour," Trump wrote.

One pilot was rescued quickly, but the second crew member had to hide and avoid capture in hostile conditions for two days. Iran had even announced a reward of $60,000 for anyone who captured him alive.

According to US officials, the missing airman was finally located overnight after managing to evade Iranian forces. The situation was urgent because Iranian authorities were believed to know his possible location.

Trump said the Pentagon closely tracked the officer around the clock and carefully planned the rescue. He added that multiple aircraft, equipped with powerful weapons, were sent to safely bring him back.

Pakistan’s Defence Minister, Khawaja Asif, said on Saturday that if there is any future conflict, it will not stay near the border and could reach deep inside India, even mentioning Kolkata as a possible target.

He said that if India tries any “false flag” operation, Pakistan would respond strongly and could take the conflict to Kolkata. He also claimed that such a plot might involve using their own people or detainees and blaming it on terrorism, but he did not give any evidence.

Pak Def Min Khawaja Asif issues an open threat against India:

“Inshallah, inshallah if they(????????) try again, they will face even greater humiliation than last year. This time, the conflict will not remain limited to 200 to 250km. We will enter their territory and strike them… pic.twitter.com/T5mZHsW429

— OsintTV ???? (@OsintTV) April 3, 2026

Asif further warned that the next conflict would go much beyond border areas. He said Pakistan could enter Indian territory and strike inside, claiming India would face greater consequences than before.

These statements are similar to earlier warnings from Pakistan, but it is still unclear what has changed on the ground.

In response, India’s Defence Minister Rajnath Singh gave a strong warning. He said that any aggressive move would get a firm and decisive reply.

Referring to India’s response after the Pahalgam terror attack April 2025, in which 26 people were killed, he said the operation is still ongoing. He added that if Pakistan repeats such actions, India’s armed forces will respond in a way they will not forget.

Christina had gone missing from Star Valley, a small town near Phoenix, under mysterious circumstances. According to initial reports, she had stepped out to check on her horse at a nearby stable but never returned home. 

Over the years, her case remained active. Police continued to revisit evidence and follow up on any information that surfaced. Her details were also added to national missing persons databases, while posters were widely circulated across different states in an effort to trace her.

The breakthrough in the case reportedly came after new leads emerged, aided by modern investigative techniques and technological advancements. However, officials have not shared specific details about how she was located or where she has been all these years.

Authorities have confirmed that her identity has been verified, bringing closure to a mystery that lasted over 30 years. Despite the public interest in the case, officials have chosen to keep further information confidential, citing her privacy and well-being.
