Latest Defense News Israel ,Iran In a dramatic escalation of tensions in the Middle East, Iran launched a barrage of missiles and drones towards Israel, prompting a swift response from the Israeli military. The attack, which targeted various areas of Israel, marked the first direct military assault by Iran on the country.According to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, over 300 projectiles were fired by Iran, with the majority intercepted by Israel's defense systems. In a statement, the Israeli military indicated that more than 99 percent of the incoming missiles were successfully intercepted."More than 300 projectiles were fired by Iran at Israel overnight, and over 99 per cent of them were intercepted," the Israeli military stated.Netanyahu took to social media to reassure the public, emphasizing that the initial attacks had been repelled but cautioning that the confrontation was ongoing. "We intercepted, we repelled, together we shall win," he wrote in a brief post.The attack by Iran came shortly after a suspected Israeli airstrike in Syria resulted in the deaths of two Iranian generals at an Iranian consular building. This exchange of hostilities underscores the escalating tensions between the two regional adversaries.The Israeli military's spokesman, Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari, provided further details, stating that Iran had deployed a combination of drones, cruise missiles, and ballistic missiles in the assault. He noted that the majority of the incoming threats were intercepted outside of Israel's borders, with warplanes intercepting over 10 cruise missiles alone.The missile attack has raised concerns of a wider and more serious conflict in the volatile region. Booms and sirens reverberated across Israel as citizens sought shelter from the incoming projectiles. The brazen nature of Iran's direct assault on Israel signifies a dangerous escalation in an already volatile region.As tensions continue to simmer, the international community remains on edge, monitoring developments closely for any signs of further escalation. The exchange of fire between Iran and Israel underscores the fragility of the situation and the potential for further violence in the days ahead.

Latest Science News World Researchers have discovered a type of organelle, a fundamental cellular structure, that can turn nitrogen gas into a form that is useful for cell growth. The discovery of the structure, called a nitroplast, in algae could bolster efforts to genetically engineer plants to convert, or ‘fix’, their own nitrogen, which could boost crop yields and reduce the need for fertilizers. The work was published in Science on 11 April The textbooks say nitrogen fixation only occurs in bacteria and archaea,” says ocean ecologist Jonathan Zehr at the University of California, Santa Cruz, a co-author of the study. This species of algae is the “first nitrogen-fixing eukaryote”, he adds, referring to the group of organisms that includes plants and animals. In 2012, Zehr and his colleagues reported that the marine algae Braarudosphaera bigelowii interacted closely with a bacterium called UCYN-A that seemed to live in, or on, the algal cells2. The researchers hypothesised that UCYN-A converts nitrogen gas into compounds that the algae use to grow, such as ammonia. In return, the bacteria were thought to gain a carbon-based energy source from the algae. But in the latest study, Zehr and his colleagues conclude that UCYN-A should be classed as organelles inside the algae, rather than as a separate organism. According to genetic analysis from a previous study, ancestors of the algae and bacteria entered a symbiotic relationship around 100 million years ago, says Zehr. Eventually, this gave rise to the nitroplast organelle, now seen in B. bigelowii. Defining organellesResearchers use two key criteria to decide whether a bacterial cell has become an organelle in a host cell. First, the cell structure in question must be passed down through generations of the host cell. Second, the structure must be reliant on proteins provided by the host cell. By imaging dozens of algae cells at various stages of cell division, the team found that the nitroplast splits in two just before the whole algae cell divides. In this way, one nitroplast is passed down from the parent cell to its offspring, as happens with other cell structures. Next, the researchers found that the nitroplast gets the proteins it needs to grow from the wider algae cell. The nitroplast itself — which makes up more than 8% of the volume of each host cell — lacks key proteins required for photosynthesis and making genetic material, says Zehr. “A lot of these proteins [from the algae] are just filling those gaps in metabolism,” he says. The discovery was made possible thanks to work by study author Kyoko Hagino at Kochi University in Japan, who spent around a decade fine-tuning a way to grow the algae in the lab — which allowed it to be studied in more detail, says Zehr. “It’s quite remarkable,” says Siv Andersson, who studies how organelles evolve at Uppsala University in Sweden. “They really see all these hallmarks that we think are characteristic of organelles.” Upgraded plantsUnderstanding how the nitroplast interacts with its host cell could support efforts to engineer crops that can fix their own nitrogen, says Zehr. This would reduce the need for nitrogen-based fertilizers and avoid some of the environmental damage they cause. “The tricks that are involved in making this system work could be used in engineering land plants,” he says. “Crop yields are majorly limited by availability of nitrogen,” says Eva Nowack, who studies symbiotic bacteria at the Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf in Germany. “Having a nitrogen-fixing organelle in a crop plant would be, of course, fantastic.” But introducing this ability into plants will be no easy feat, she warns. Plant cells containing the genetic code for the nitroplast would need to be engineered in such a way that the genes were transferred stably from generation to generation, for example. “That would be the most difficult thing to do,” she says. “It’s both a pleasure and very impressive to see this work build up to what is certainly a major stepping stone in understanding,” says Jeffrey Elhai, a cell biologist at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Vriginia.

Latest Defence NewsIndiaIsrael warned on Saturday that Iran would suffer the "consequences for choosing to escalate the situation any further" as fears grew of wider conflict more than six months into Israel's war against Hamas militants in the Gaza Strip.The strong warning came after Iran seized a container ship linked to Israel in the Gulf, and the United States announced it was sending more troops to the troubled region.The White House has repeatedly warned Tehran against carrying out a potentially imminent attack on Israel in response to an air strike on an Iranian diplomatic building in Damascus earlier this month.Tehran has vowed to avenge the April 1 strike -- which killed 16 people, including two Iranian generals, and has been widely blamed on Israel -- but has not specified how.Iran's Revolutionary Guards seized a container ship "related" to Israel in the Strait of Hormuz on Saturday, which was now heading towards Iranian waters, state media reported.The ship's operator, the Italian-Swiss group MSC, said it was working with the relevant authorities to ensure the wellbeing of the 25 crew onboard.Not long after the seizure was announced, Israeli military spokesman Daniel Hagari said that "Iran will bear the consequences for choosing to escalate the situation any further".An adviser to Iran's supreme leader said that Israel was in "complete panic" over Tehran's looming response."They don't know what Iran wants to do, so they and their supporters are terrified," senior adviser Yahya Rahim said.Israel teen found deadThe Gaza war began with Hamas's unprecedented October 7 attack against Israel which resulted in the deaths of 1,170 people, mostly civilians, according to Israeli figures.Israel's retaliatory offensive has killed at least 33,686 people in Gaza, mostly women and children, according to the territory's health ministry.The toll rose by 52 over the last 24 hours, the ministry said.Israel's military said it had struck more than 30 Hamas targets across Gaza over the previous day.In the main central city of Deir al-Balah, fire burned in the rubble of a destroyed mosque.Israel's military "demanded that the whole area be evacuated" before it was "wiped out in minutes", said Abdullah Baraka, a witness.In nearby Nuseirat refugee camp, Abd Thabet said residents had been warned to evacuate on Friday evening ahead of a large explosion that caused "massive destruction"."All of the houses were demolished, including my home," the 35-year-old told AFP."There are children, women and the elderly, and we left without anything with us from our homes."Tensions have also flared in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, where a missing Israeli teenager was found dead on Saturday.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called the death of 14-year-old Benjamin Achimeir a "heinous murder".After the boy went missing near the city of Ramallah on Friday, hundreds of Jewish settlers backed by Israeli forces raided nearby Palestinian villages, torching cars and homes, leaving at least one villager dead and dozens injured.After the body of the teenager was found, Israel's Defence Minister Yoav Gallant warned against Israeli citizens taking "revenge" for his death.Travel warningsFollowing Iran's retaliation threats, Israel said it was strengthening air defences and paused leave for combat units.A US defence official in Washington said that "we are moving additional assets to the region to bolster regional deterrence efforts and increase force protection for US forces".The Netherlands said that its embassy in Tehran and consulate in Arbil, Iraq, would remain closed on Sunday "in connection with the rising tensions between Iran and Israel".France earlier warned its nationals against travelling to the region, while the US embassy in Israel said it was restricting the movements of its diplomats over security fears.German airline Lufthansa said its planes would no longer use Iranian airspace, while its subsidiary Austrian Airlines made a similar move. Australian airline Qantas said its long-haul Perth-London flights would also avoid Iranian airspace.Gaza truce talks which started on Sunday in Cairo have brought no breakthrough on a plan presented by US, Qatari and Egyptian mediators, which Hamas has said it was studying.Calls for more aid accessWashington has also ramped up pressure on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to increase aid flows to Gaza where the United Nations warns of imminent famine.Israel's military said an undisclosed number of aid trucks had been allowed to enter Gaza Thursday through a newly opened border crossing.Despite repeated requests for comment, Israeli authorities did not disclose the exact location of the new crossing.The UN Security Council has said that "more should be done to bring the required relief given the scale of needs in Gaza."During the October attack, Hamas militants seized about 250 hostages, 129 of whom Israel says remain in Gaza, including 34 the army says are dead.Netanyahu is under huge pressure from relatives of the hostages to get their loved ones home.

Latest Defence News Iran In a recent incident that underscores the escalating tensions in the Middle East, Iran's paramilitary Revolutionary Guard executed a bold operation by rappelling down from a helicopter onto an Israeli-affiliated container ship near the Strait of Hormuz. This seizure, which occurred on Saturday, marks the latest episode in a series of attacks between Iran and Israel.The backdrop for this confrontation stems from a suspected Israeli strike earlier this month on an Iranian consular building in Syria, resulting in casualties, including a senior Guard general. Additionally, the prolonged Israeli war on Hamas in the Gaza Strip, now in its sixth month, has further exacerbated tensions across the region. With Iranian-backed entities like Hezbollah in Lebanon and Yemen's Houthi rebels also entangled in the conflict, the potential for a wider regional conflagration looms large.Iran's state-run IRNA reported that a special forces unit of the Guard's navy carried out the attack on the vessel, identified by other media sources as the Portuguese-flagged MSC Aries, associated with London-based Zodiac Maritime, a part of Israeli billionaire Eyal Ofer’s Zodiac Group. Both Zodiac Maritime and MSC refrained from immediate comment on the incident.A video shared by a Middle East defense official depicted the dramatic scene of Iranian commandos descending onto the ship's deck from a helicopter. The authenticity of the video was corroborated by known details of the MSC Aries, including the use of a Soviet-era Mil Mi-17 helicopter, previously employed by the Guard and Iranian-backed Houthis for similar operations.The British military's United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations confirmed that the vessel was seized by regional authorities in the Gulf of Oman off the Emirati port city of Fujairah. The MSC Aries, which had turned off its tracking data, was last located off Dubai heading toward the Strait of Hormuz, a common practice for Israeli-affiliated ships navigating through the region.This seizure is not an isolated incident but rather part of a pattern of Iranian maritime aggression dating back to 2019, amid escalating tensions with the West over Iran's nuclear program. While Iran has previously attempted to downplay the geopolitical motivations behind such actions, in this instance, Iranian authorities explicitly cited the vessel's Israeli links as the rationale for the seizure.The timing of the attack is significant, coming in the wake of threats from Iranian officials, including Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, to retaliate against Israel for the Syria strike. Western governments have issued warnings to their citizens in the region, anticipating potential reprisals.Despite historical animosity, Iran has largely refrained from direct military confrontations with Israel, preferring to act through proxy forces. However, Guard Gen. Ali Reza Tangsiri's recent remarks condemning the presence of Israelis in the region, particularly in the UAE following its diplomatic normalization with Israel, underscore Tehran's growing hostility towards its regional adversaries.President Joe Biden's warning to Iran not to attack Israel reflects the heightened concerns within the international community regarding the volatile situation in the Middle East. The Gulf of Oman, situated near the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz, serves as a crucial maritime chokepoint through which a significant portion of the world's oil supply traverses.The recent spate of incidents in the waters off Fujairah, including explosions and hijackings, further underscores the volatile nature of the region. While the US Navy has attributed some of these incidents to Iran, the UAE's efforts to mend ties with Tehran highlight the complex geopolitical dynamics at play.As tensions continue to escalate in the Middle East, the seizure of the MSC Aries serves as a stark reminder of the potential consequences of the ongoing confrontations between Iran and its adversaries. With the risk of further escalation looming large, diplomatic efforts to defuse tensions and prevent a wider conflict remain imperative for regional stability.

Latest Defence News Israel ,Iran Iran has developed a range of ballistic missiles and drones in a program that has long worried the West. The missiles are an important part of the arsenal at Tehran’s disposal as it threatens to retaliate against Israel for a strike on a building in the Iranian embassy compound in the Syrian capital of Damascus, which killed several Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps commanders, including two generals. Citing two unnamed US officials, CBS reported Friday that a major attack on Israel could be imminent and may include more than 100 drones and dozens of missiles aimed at military targets inside the country. They warned Israel would be challenged to fend off an assault of that scale. The officials said it was possible Tehran may still opt for a smaller-magnitude strike in order to avoid a dramatic escalation. According to Channel 12 news, ballistic missiles fired from Iran would take 12 minutes to reach Israel, cruise missiles would take two hours, and drones launched from the Islamic Republic would journey for nine hours to reach their target. According to the US Office of the Director of National Intelligence, Iran is armed with the largest number of ballistic missiles in the region. Here are some details: The semi-official Iranian news outlet ISNA published a graphic this week showing nine Iranian missiles it said could reach Israel. These included the ‘Sejil’, capable of flying at more than 17,000 km (10,500 miles) per hour and with a range of 2,500 km (1,550 miles), the ‘Kheibar’ with a range of 2,000 km (1,240 miles), and the ‘Haj Qasem’, which has a range of 1,400 km (870 miles) and is named after Quds Force commander Qasem Soleimani, who was killed in a US drone strike in Baghdad four years ago, ISNA said. Iran, a major producer of drones, said in August it had built an advanced homemade drone named Mohajer-10 with an operational range of 2,000 km (1,240 miles) and capable of flying for up to 24 hours with a payload of up to 300 kg (660 pounds). Iran says its ballistic missiles are an important deterrent and retaliatory force against the United States, Israel and other potential regional targets. It denies seeking nuclear weapons. Last June, Iran presented what officials described as its first domestically made hypersonic ballistic missile, the official IRNA news agency reported. Hypersonic missiles can fly at least five times faster than the speed of sound and on a complex trajectory, which makes them difficult to intercept. Despite US and European opposition, the Islamic Republic has said it will further develop its defensive missile program. The Arms Control Association, a Washington-based nongovernmental organization, says Iran’s missile program is largely based on North Korean and Russian designs and has benefited from Chinese assistance. The Arms Control Association says Iran’s short-range and medium-range ballistic missiles include: Shahab-1, with an estimated range of 300 km (190 miles); the Zolfaghar, with 700 km (435 miles); Shahab-3, with 800-1,000 km (500 to 620 miles); Emad-1, a missile under development with up to 2,000 km (1,240 miles); and Sejil, under development, with 1,500-2,500 km (930 to 1,550 miles). Iran also has cruise missiles such as the Kh-55, an air-launched nuclear-capable weapon with a range of up to 3,000 km (1,860 miles), and the advanced anti-ship missile the Khalid Farzh, with about 300 km (186 miles), capable of carrying a 1,000-kg (1.1-ton) warhead.Regional attacksIran's Revolutionary Guards utilized missiles in January, targeting what they claimed to be the spy headquarters of Israel in Iraq's Kurdistan region. They also reported launching strikes against Islamic State militants in Syria. Additionally, Iran announced missile attacks on two bases belonging to a Baluchi militant group in neighboring Pakistan. Both Saudi Arabia and the United States have asserted that they believe Iran was responsible for a drone and missile assault on Saudi Arabia's vital oil facilities in 2019. However, Tehran denied these allegations. In 2020, Iran launched missile attacks on US-led forces in Iraq, including the al-Asad air base. These strikes were in retaliation for a US drone strike that resulted in the death of Iranian commander Soleimani. The killing of Soleimani heightened concerns of a broader conflict in the Middle East.The Middle East continues to be a region rife with geopolitical tensions, where various actors vie for influence and power. Iran, in particular, has been accused by the United States and Western intelligence officials of providing extensive support to several militant groups across the region. Here's a breakdown of Iran's alleged backing for groups in Yemen, Lebanon, and Syria.Yemen's Houthis have been a focal point of Iran's alleged support, with the United States accusing Tehran of arming the group. The Houthis' actions, including missile attacks on shipping in the Red Sea and purported support for Palestinians during the Gaza conflict, have raised concerns about Iran's influence in the region. Despite Tehran's denial of arming the Houthis, incidents such as the 2022 missile attack on a UAE base hosting US military personnel have fueled suspicions of Iranian involvement.In Lebanon, Iran-backed Hezbollah has boasted of its capabilities, claiming the ability to convert standard rockets into precision missiles with the assistance of Iranian experts. Hezbollah's leader, Hassan Nasrallah, has openly acknowledged the group's close ties with Iran and its access to advanced weaponry. This partnership has raised alarm bells among regional rivals and Western powers wary of Hezbollah's growing military prowess.Syria, too, has become a theater for Iran's alleged support for militant groups. Reports suggest that Iran has provided indigenous precision-guided missiles to bolster President Bashar al-Assad's forces in their fight against insurgents. Additionally, Iran has purportedly transferred some of its missile production capabilities to underground facilities in Syria, allowing Assad's military and pro-Tehran factions to manufacture their own weaponry.These developments underscore Iran's strategic calculus in the region, where it seeks to project power and influence through proxies and militant groups. The alleged support for the Houthis in Yemen, Hezbollah in Lebanon, and Assad's regime in Syria reflects Iran's broader ambitions to shape regional dynamics and challenge the influence of its adversaries.However, Iran's activities have also sparked concerns among regional stakeholders and the international community, leading to calls for greater scrutiny and diplomatic efforts to address destabilizing behavior. As tensions persist in the Middle East, understanding and addressing Iran's support for militant groups remains a complex and pressing challenge for policymakers seeking to promote stability and security in the region.

Latest Defence News Russia ,China Amidst the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, reports indicate that China has significantly aided Russia in bolstering its defense industrial base, marking its most ambitious expansion since the Soviet era. According to senior Biden administration officials, this collaboration includes joint efforts to produce drones within Russia.The support from China has enabled Russia to sustain its assault on Ukraine, exacerbating challenges faced by the Ukrainian military due to equipment and weapon shortages. Despite calls for a new American military aid package to Kyiv, efforts have been stymied by Republican opposition in the US Congress.A senior administration official emphasized the pivotal role of persuading China to cease its assistance to Russia, citing Chinese materials filling critical gaps in Russia's defense production cycle. This support has enabled Russia to rapidly reconstitute its military capabilities since its invasion of Ukraine over two years ago.Gen. Chris Cavoli, commander of US European Command, acknowledged Russia's success in rebuilding its military capacity, largely attributed to support from China. In 2023, 90% of Russia's micro-electronics imports originated from China, facilitating the production of missiles, tanks, and aircraft.Furthermore, China's contributions have fueled Russia's expansion of artillery production, with nitrocellulose imports crucial for this endeavor.

The Decipherment Odyssey: Champollion's TriumphFor decades, the hieroglyphic script remained an impenetrable barrier to understanding ancient Egyptian culture. However, the pioneering efforts of Jean-François Champollion in the early 19th century shattered this linguistic impasse. Drawing upon the Greek text inscribed on the Rosetta Stone, Champollion embarked on a Herculean task of decipherment, unraveling the phonetic codes of hieroglyphic symbols and unlocking a treasure trove of ancient wisdom. Legacy and Influence: Gateway to Ancient EgyptThe decipherment of the Rosetta Stone heralded a renaissance in the study of ancient Egypt, casting light upon its rich tapestry of history, culture, and religion. From the sacred rituals enshrined within temple walls to the timeless wisdom of the Book of the Dead, this iconic artifact opened a window into the soul of an ancient civilization.Historical Documentation: Beyond its linguistic significance, the Rosetta Stone serves as a valuable historical document, providing insights into the politics, administration, and culture of ancient Egypt during the Ptolemaic era. The decree inscribed on the stone grants tax exemptions to priests and proclaims the divine rule of King Ptolemy V. Cultural Exchange: The discovery of the Rosetta Stone sparked a renewed interest in ancient Egyptian culture and fostered cultural exchange between Europe and the Middle East.

Some whisper of hidden messages concealed within its inscriptions, suggesting a deeper layer of meaning beyond its historical facade. Others speculate on its extraterrestrial origins, weaving tales of cosmic intervention in the annals of human history. Suppressed Knowledge: A notion persists that the true significance of the Rosetta Stone has been deliberately obscured or downplayed by authorities. This theory posits that the stone holds secrets about human history, religion, or technology that powerful organizations wish to keep hidden from the public.
