US President Donald Trump suggested the United States could take steps to ease pressure on global oil markets amid escalating tensions in the Gulf, including temporarily allowing India to continue purchasing Russian crude. Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One, Trump responded to questions about Washington’s decision to permit certain Russian oil sales to India following the announcement by US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. “If there were some, I would do it just to take a little of the pressure off,” Trump said, referencing potential measures such as using the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR). He emphasized that global oil supply remained strong despite the crisis, stating, “I think that the oil pressure—there’s a lot of oil. We’ve got a lot of oil. Our country has a tremendous amount and there’s a lot of oil out there. That’ll get healed very quickly.” The US granted a temporary waiver allowing India to purchase Russian oil after shipping routes through the Strait of Hormuz were disrupted due to the ongoing conflict in the Gulf. Bessent explained that the waiver was intended to stabilize global supply during the crisis, noting, “We had asked them to stop buying sanctioned Russian oil this fall. They did. They were going to substitute it with US oil,” but added that the waiver was a short-term measure to prevent sharp rises in global oil prices. The waiver, which permits India to accept Russian oil for 30 days, reflects Washington’s effort to balance geopolitical tensions with economic stability. India’s energy situation remains stable, with government sources stating the country is reviewing its energy situation twice daily and remains in a “very comfortable position” regarding energy security.#iran #strait_of_hormuz #scott_bessent #us_president_donald_trump

No foreign capital should dictate New Delhi: Farooq Abdullah Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Farooq Abdullah criticized India’s reliance on foreign influence, particularly the United States, during a recent statement. He emphasized that India, as a sovereign nation, should not seek permission from any external power for its decisions, including energy imports. Abdullah’s remarks followed the U.S. announcement of a 30-day waiver allowing India to import Russian oil amid geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. Abdullah accused the Indian government of prioritizing foreign interests over national autonomy. He referenced former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s concept of “strategic autonomy,” arguing that India must make its own choices for its economic and energy needs. “India will decide what is good for it,” he said, rejecting the notion that the U.S. should dictate India’s policies, particularly regarding energy security. The controversy stems from the U.S. decision to grant a temporary waiver for India to import Russian oil, which has raised questions about the country’s energy independence. Abdullah highlighted the irony of India’s dependence on foreign approval for critical decisions, even as it faces global supply chain challenges. He criticized the government for failing to assert India’s sovereignty, stating, “This country has to decide what is good for it. Nobody else should decide our future.” Opposition leaders, including Abdullah, have questioned why India requires U.S. endorsement for its energy strategies. They argue that such dependence undermines India’s ability to act in its own national interest. Abdullah’s comments reflect broader concerns about foreign policy decisions that prioritize external alliances over domestic priorities, particularly in sectors like energy and defense.#united_states #india #farooq_abdullah #jammu_and_kashmir #manmohan_singh

Kamal Haasan Slams Trump Over US 'Permission' to Buy Russian Oil Actor-politician Kamal Haasan has criticized US President Donald Trump on social media, accusing Washington of overstepping by granting India "permission" to purchase Russian oil amid global supply chain disruptions. Haasan, a member of India’s Rajya Sabha and leader of the Makkal Needhi Maiam party, posted a message on X addressing Trump, emphasizing India’s sovereignty and rejecting foreign interference. "Dear Mr. President, We, the people of India, belong to a free and sovereign nation. We no longer take orders from distant foreign shores. Please mind your own business to the best of your abilities," he wrote. Haasan also called for mutual respect between nations, stating, "Mutual respect between sovereign nations is the only foundation of lasting global peace. We wish your country and its people peace and prosperity." The controversy stems from remarks by Scott Bessent, US Treasury Secretary and a close aide to Trump. Bessent told Fox Business that the US had allowed India to buy Russian oil to address temporary supply gaps caused by the Middle East conflict. "The Indians have been very good actors. We had asked them to stop buying sanctioned Russian oil this fall. They did. They were going to substitute it with US oil. But to ease the temporary gap of oil around the world, we have given them permission to accept Russian oil. We may un-sanction other Russian oil," Bessent said. Trump later echoed this sentiment, suggesting the US might take steps to alleviate global oil pressure. "If there were some, I would do it just to take a little of the pressure off," he said, adding that "the oil pressure—there's a lot of oil. We've got a lot of oil. Our country has a tremendous amount and we have, there's a lot of oil out there. That'll get healed very quickly.#india #donald_trump #scott_bessent #kamal_haasan #us_treasury

YouTuber Anurag Dobhal’s Livestream Crash and Mental Health Crisis Anurag Dobhal, a popular YouTuber known as UK07 rider, made a harrowing livestream on the Delhi-Meerut expressway before crashing his Fortuner vehicle. Days prior to the incident, Dobhal had shared personal struggles, including claims of mental harassment and suicide attempts, which he attributed to personal and family conflicts. His livestream, which drew a large audience, included emotional revelations about feeling lonely and overwhelmed, with Dobhal addressing his mother and expressing a desire for love in his next life. The crash occurred at high speed, with reports indicating the vehicle was traveling over 140 km/h. The incident, which was live-streamed, sparked widespread attention as hundreds of thousands of viewers watched the event unfold. Dobhal’s vehicle veered off the road, leading to a collision. Witnesses rushed to his aid, calling emergency services and alerting the police. He was subsequently taken to Subharti Hospital in Meerut for treatment. Doctors confirmed he sustained injuries and fractures but described his condition as stable. Following the crash, Dobhal was discharged from the hospital after receiving a plaster for his injuries. However, he was referred to a higher medical facility for further care. His family and supporters have since expressed concern over his well-being, with some emphasizing the need for mental health support. Dobhal’s recent social media posts had detailed ongoing tensions within his family, which reportedly began after he married his longtime girlfriend, Ritika Chauhan, in April 2025. He alleged that personal and family disputes had led to mental harassment, contributing to his emotional distress.#anurag_dobhal #ritika_chauhan #uk07_rider #delhi_meerut_expressway #subharti_hospital
