Israel said its war against Iran was entering a “decisive phase” on Saturday, with explosions in cities across the Middle East and attacks on the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad and key energy facilities in the United Arab Emirates. Security sources said Washington’s embassy in Iraq was hit by a drone attack, the second time it has been targeted since February 28, when the United States and Israel attacked Iran, plunging the Gulf region into a conflict that has sent shockwaves through the global economy.

After Kirti Azad criticism, Suryakumar Yadav, Gautam Gambhir visit temple again with T20 World Cup - Watch
Gautam Gambhir and SuryaKumar Yadav pray at Shree Siddhivinayak Temple

Members of the Indian national cricket team visited the Shree Siddhivinayak temple in Mumbai on Saturday to continue celebrating their ICC Men’s T20 World Cup victory, even as their previous temple visit sparked a controversy over comments made by former cricketer-turned-politician Kirti Azad.head coach Gautam Gambhir and captain Suryakumar Yadav standing beside ICC President Jay Shah After the victory, he had earlier visited the shrine in Ahmedabad with the trophy and offered prayers despite the controversy surrounding the earlier visit.Kirti Azad questions temple visitThe controversy started when Kirti Azad criticized the team’s decision to take the trophy to the temple, arguing that World Cup victory belongs to all Indians regardless of religion.“1.4 billion people get excited when an Indian team from different religions wins. Athletes or sports do not belong to any religion or caste but only to the sport,” Azad said. “Why not a mosque? Why not a church? Why not a gurdwara? The trophy belongs to 1.4 billion Indians of all faiths, not the victory of one religion,” he added. Harbhajan Singh Criticism of AzadFormer India spinner Harbhajan Singh strongly criticized Azad’s remarks, accusing him of unnecessarily politicizing the issue.“It is ridiculous for someone to politicize players taking trophies to temples. Kirti himself is a former cricketer, so I did not expect him to say such things. Maybe he takes politics more seriously and forgets that he is a sportsman,” Harbhajan said. “I expected more because when taking on such a tough task, the rewards should be greater. But congratulations to the team for showing everyone how strong India is,” he added.Gambhir also defended the team’s celebrationsGautam Gambhir also defended the team’s actions, saying the controversy was unnecessary and had the potential to overshadow the achievements of the players.“It’s not even worth answering the question. This is a big moment for the entire country and we should be celebrating the World Cup win,” Gambhir said while talking to ANI.“If you want to downplay the achievements of these 15 players and their efforts, then tomorrow anyone can make any statement and we’ll start taking it seriously. It’s not fair to the boys.”“The kids are under so much pressure. If you make a statement like that today, you’re disparaging your own players and your own team.”Players shy away from controversyMeanwhile, India batsman Ishan Kishan dismissed questions about the controversy, urging the media to instead focus on the team’s historic achievement.“Winning the World Cup is a great thing. You should ask good questions. What can I say about what Kirti Azad said? Please ask good questions and it will be enjoyable,” Kishan said.

In “Satte Pe Satta” she is paired with comedian Paintal.

22-year-old foreign student dies after donating plasma in Canada: 'No correlation between passing and...'

Federal health authorities are investigating the death of a 22-year-old Nigerian international student who died after donating plasma at a paid collection center in Canada. Health Canada confirmed that Rodiat Alabede died on October 25, 2025, after attending an appointment at the Grifols Plasma Donation Center on Taylor Avenue in Winnipeg, Manitoba. The federal department said it has received reports of two fatal adverse reactions involving plasma donors, with the second death reported on Jan. 30, 2026, at another Grifols clinic in Winnipeg.Alabed moved to Canada from Nigeria in 2022 to study at the University of Winnipeg, where he trained as a social worker. She was active in the community and well-liked by those who knew her, friends said. During the donation process, she reportedly became unresponsive and died shortly after. Officials have not formally determined whether the plasma donation procedure itself caused her death.Health Canada confirmed it received mandatory reports from the clinic after the two deaths and sent inspectors to facilities operated by Grifols. Grifols is a Spanish healthcare company that operates multiple plasma collection centers across Canada. Griffiths publicly expressed his condolences to the family of the deceased. The company said it has “no reason to believe there is a correlation between the death of a donor and plasma donation,” noting that donors undergo health assessments before being approved to donate plasma.Plasma donation involves drawing blood, separating the plasma, and returning red blood cells to the donor. The procedure is often used in medical treatment and research, and paid plasma donation clinics reimburse donors. In Canada, individuals who donate plasma at such for-profit centers can be paid up to about C$100 each time, with additional bonuses for frequent visits, making donating plasma a source of income for some students and low-income earners.

However, the gesture sparked a lot of discussion online. “There’s no way he’s just doing it on camera. Look closely at his hands. Pete Hegseth isn’t even trying to hide it. The handshake isn’t random,” one profile on X wrote.

The video shows Hegseth, wearing a suit and baseball cap, meeting with a U.S. service member. They shook hands and talked, capturing the moment on camera.

Others also pointed out Hegseth’s handshake and explain “Pete Hegseth and officers performing masonic handshake.” Another one additional “Pete Hegseth and his Masonic handshake… Now you know who is pushing for this war.”

Pete Hegseth’s handshake: fact check

Heggs’ handshake sparks speculation Freemasonry shake hands. However, there is no suggestion that Hegseth had any Masonic connections, nor that the handshake had any deeper meaning than ordinary courtesy.

Grok fact-checked various social media speculation about the gesture and explain “The handshake between Pete Hegseth and the Air Force officer is a standard, palm-to-palm, military-style handshake that is common in official greetings. The video slows down the handshake, zooms in on the hands, and overlays an old Masonic chart, labeling it “Handshake of Fellows,” suggesting Signaling a secret signal.” The AI chatbot added, “This is a classic conspiracy editor; the actual grip varies with angle, pressure, and habits. Heggs has zero documented connection to Freemasonry – his affiliation is with the Christian Conservatism (CREC). network). There is no evidence that this is normal.”

In another post, Grok explain “Superimposed on the video is a Masonic handshake that appears to be a standard handshake between Hegseth (in civilian clothes) and a uniformed officer at Joint Base Andrews. There is no reliable record of Hegseth being a Freemason – he is publicly associated with the conservative Christian Nationalist Church Network (CREC), which is not aligned with Freemasonry. This is a normal firm handshake, not a secret signal. Conspiracy clips often exaggerate everyday interactions in this way.”

Therefore, the suggestion that the Heggs handshake has any connection with Freemasonry appears to be a conspiracy theory without any basis in fact.

Speculation about Hegseth comes as the defense secretary comes under intense scrutiny as president of the United States Donald Trump Launching the epic Operation Fury, a joint effort with Israel, they eliminated Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and sparked the ongoing war in the Middle East.
