U.S. President Donald Trump has publicly pressured Israeli President Isaac Herzog to immediately pardon Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, arguing that Netanyahu needs to be fully focused on Israel’s conflict with Iran rather than his ongoing corruption trial. Trump labeled Herzog “a disgrace,” claiming the Israeli president previously promised a pardon multiple times - a claim Herzog’s office denies. Herzog responded that Israel is a sovereign democracy governed by the rule of law, and any pardon request is being reviewed through formal legal procedures.

In the widening US-Israel war with Iran, Iranian Shahed drones have emerged as a potent and persistent threat to U.S. and allied forces across the Middle East. These low-cost, one-way attack UAVs, chiefly the Shahed-136 and similar variants can fly low and slow, making them harder to detect and intercept with radar and prompting U.S. defence officials to acknowledge they pose a bigger challenge than anticipated.

Trump admits there are chances of Iran retaliating on US soil- 'Some people will die'

<p>Israel fooled Iran into believing that it was safe for their Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, to leave his safe house and visit the palace for a meeting with his senior officials before they rained down a barrage of missiles, which killed him. These included Blue Sparrows, which travel to the edge of space before hitting their targets. Israel deployed a deceptive tactic in Tel Aviv to give Tehran a false sense of security. The Israel Defense Forces knew that if Iran spotted a build-up of activity around its central military complex in Tel Aviv, it would be alerted that a major operation was in the works. The idea was to take Khamenei and other officials by surprise. So they hatched a plan. Israeli leaders gave the impression that they were taking the week off for Shabbat celebrations.

<p>The United States is reportedly preparing to fight the Iran war till September, a timeline that aligns with Nostradamus' seven-month war prophecy. According to Politico, the Pentagon has increased the number of intelligence officers at its Florida headquarters to support operations in Iran for at least 100 days, which could even stretch to September.

However, the military is apparently working with a longer timeline in mind as the conflict spirals and spreads to Gulf countries. On Saturday (February 28), Israel and the US launched an attack on Iran, which killed Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei.

Iran war could go on till September, report suggests, just like Nostradamus prophesied - 'Seven months great war'

<p>As war ravages the Middle East, and the Russia-Ukraine crisis refuses to end, people are urgently looking up psychic prophecies and doomsday warnings that were made centuries ago. Modern-day astrologers have also jumped in, predicting by looking at the stars which region could witness the next catastrophe. A travel astrologer warned travellers going to the Middle East two days before the Iran war started to avoid the trip if possible for the week. “Middle East is a hotbed for uncertainty this week - those travelling to UAE, Oman and Iran especially - please be careful!” she wrote last week, along with a video. As the Iran war ravages the Middle East, clips of her forecast have started circulating online, and people are shocked by the accuracy. However, what is catching the eye most is her latest warning about Central Asia, Pakistan, Afghanistan and India. Natalia, a self-described expert in astrocartography and locational astrology, has warned that the planetary alignments suggest heightened tensions in parts of Central and South Asia later this year.</p><h2><strong>Astrologer predicts volatile period for Central Asia</strong></h2><p>Natalia cites two planets - Mars and Uranus - as being the problem. She says in the video that the planets will form a "square" in early December, creating volatility. However, before that, the same conjunction will move slightly east and create problems in "Central Asia". She says in the video, "So around the 4th of July, Mars and Uranus—our favourite duo, which just caused a lot of havoc here—they’re going to move slightly to the east. So the energies during a conjunction are going to be quite similar, like very volatile, and it’s going to hit Central Asia." She tells people to be careful while travelling through “India, Pakistan and Afghanistan” around these dates.</p><p>Also Read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/trending/nostradamus-prophecy-on-us-iran-war-suicide-drones-1772686098998"><strong>People think THIS Nostradamus prophecy is linked to suicide drones being used in US-Iran war</strong></a><br>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Watch the videos below</strong></p>

<p>It won't end in July, and in December, Mars and Uranus will once again create tensions in the region. “And then on the 5th of December this year, we are going to have another Mars and Uranus square," she says, adding that things could heat up "near Karachi, Pakistan, and Afghanistan." She cites the current violence that has shrouded the region, with Pakistan and Afghanistan engaged in a conflict. "All I’m saying is it’s going to culminate around this date." The two dates she specifies are July 4, 2026 - when a Mars–Uranus conjunction passes through Uzbekistan and areas west of Karachi and Kabul - and December 5, 2026 - when the same conjunction affects "Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Muscat (Oman), Afghanistan and Pakistan, maybe India too."</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Natalia further states that conflicts in this region may already have begun, and that these dates indicate their peak periods. She added that the military might not just fight the war, but since “Uranus will be in Gemini", it could lean towards "more technology or information-based conflicts."</p>

An astrologer who predicted the Iran war has warned of a conflict in Central Asia. She has forecast two dates when India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan could go through a period of turmoil, warning travellers to be mindful while going through these regions near these two particular dates.

As war ravages the Middle East, and the Russia-Ukraine crisis refuses to end, people are urgently looking up psychic prophecies and doomsday warnings that were made centuries ago. Modern-day astrologers have also jumped in, predicting by looking at the stars which region could witness the next catastrophe. A travel astrologer warned travellers going to the Middle East two days before the Iran war started to avoid the trip if possible for the week. “Middle East is a hotbed for uncertainty this week - those travelling to UAE, Oman and Iran especially - please be careful!” she wrote last week, along with a video. As the Iran war ravages the Middle East, clips of her forecast have started circulating online, and people are shocked by the accuracy. However, what is catching the eye most is her latest warning about Central Asia, Pakistan, Afghanistan and India. Natalia, a self-described expert in astrocartography and locational astrology, has warned that the planetary alignments suggest heightened tensions in parts of Central and South Asia later this year. Astrologer predicts volatile period for Central Asia Natalia cites two planets - Mars and Uranus - as being the problem. She says in the video that the planets will form a "square" in early December, creating volatility. However, before that, the same conjunction will move slightly east and create problems in "Central Asia". She says in the video, "So around the 4th of July, Mars and Uranus—our favourite duo, which just caused a lot of havoc here—they’re going to move slightly to the east. So the energies during a conjunction are going to be quite similar, like very volatile, and it’s going to hit Central Asia." She tells people to be careful while travelling through “India, Pakistan and Afghanistan” around these dates.

Iran’s internet blackout during US-Israel strikes has left civilians without critical information on attacks, evacuation warnings, or damaged hospitals, raising fears among rights groups of a worsening humanitarian toll.

As war spreads across West Asia, the Iranian government has cut off its citizens from the internet, rights groups have said that the blackout increases the risk of worsening the human toll of the war.

‘We know nothing’: Internet blackout puts Iranians in dark amid US-Israeli bombings

U.S. President Donald Trump has declared that the United States must be involved in selecting Iran’s next supreme leader following the reported death of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei during the ongoing US‑Israel military campaign against Iran. Trump rejected the likely succession of Mojtaba Khamenei, calling him “unacceptable,” and said Washington should help choose a leader who can bring “harmony and peace” instead of renewed hostility

Starmer said the UK’s longstanding position is that the best solution is a negotiated settlement with Tehran, and that Britain should use military and diplomatic strength to protect its citizens and allies while pushing for de‑escalation.
