On the morning of Saturday, October 26, Israel launched airstrikes on 20 military targets across Iran. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared the operation a success, stating it severely weakened Iran's defence and missile production capabilities. Notably, Israel refrained from targeting Iran's nuclear sites, likely due to warnings from the Biden administration. While the strikes were precise, concerns about escalating conflict emerged. In Iran, a debate sparked over the appropriate response, with some advocating for military action to avoid appearing weak, while others noted the limited scale of the attacks and cautioned against retaliation that could provoke more significant Israeli strikes. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei remarked that Israel was miscalculating Iran's strength and determination. However, he also emphasized a measured approach, urging that the impact of Israeli actions should not be exaggerated or minimized. This indicated a preference for c...

I wrote a heartfelt letter for my daughter way back in 2013, celebrating her completion of the first year of MBBS at the esteemed SCB Medical College & Hospital, Cuttack while I was still serving in the Army. Today, I’d like to share that letter with all the parents who prioritize their children's careers and dreams. Celebrating Pukuria’s Journey: One Year of MBBS! It feels like just yesterday when I first heard that precious cry echoing through the bustling halls of the Bagdogra Base Hospital’s operating theatre. In that fleeting moment, I yearned to cradle you in my arms, to bask in the joy of our new beginning. Yet, duty called, and a doctor’s urgent voice grounded me: “Mr. Dash, help shift this patient to ICU immediately.” Each task pulled me away, but when I finally caught a glimpse of you nestled beside your mother, being carried into the ICU, my heart swelled with indescribable love. You were my little miracle, my beacon of hope. Now, as you celebrate your eighteenth bi...

  The recent escalation of tensions in the Middle East has been marked by a series of critical events that have intensified hostilities between Israel and Iran, as well as their associated militant groups. This complex conflict involves a web of geopolitical alliances and animosities, contributing to a volatile situation with severe implications for regional stability. The conflict's immediate spark occurred on April 1, when Israel conducted a strike on Iran’s consulate in Damascus, Syria. This operation resulted in the deaths of 13 individuals, including two Iranian military commanders. This act of aggression underscored Israel's longstanding policy of preemptively targeting Iranian assets in the region, reflecting deep-seated fears about Iranian influence and military capability. In response to the April strike, Iran launched a direct and unprecedented attack on Israeli territory on April 13, firing approximately 300 missiles and drones. This marked the first time Tehran enga...
