Iran’s Revolutionary Guards claim Trump suffered…

TEHRAN: Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has claimed that international media outlets are increasingly portraying US President Donald Trump as having suffered a defeat in the conflict with Iran.

In a statement, the IRGC said reports from various parts of the world were highlighting what it described as the failure of the United States to achieve its objectives against Iran.

The Guards further claimed that the war had placed the Trump administration in a situation of its own making, with international coverage allegedly pointing to Washington’s difficulties in achieving its declared goals.

According to the IRGC, recent agreements between the parties should not be viewed simply as diplomatic arrangements but as evidence of what it described as an American retreat in the face of Iran’s military capabilities and negotiating position.

The Iranian force also maintained that the United States and Israel had failed to accomplish their stated objectives despite extensive military operations and accompanying media campaigns.

The IRGC characterized the latest agreements as reflecting Iran’s ability to withstand military pressure and secure a stronger position at the negotiating table.

    Spider-Man: Brand New Day overcomes leak fears as …

    Spider-Man: Brand New Day has proven that even a major piracy leak cannot slow down one of Marvel’s biggest theatrical events in years. Just hours before the highly anticipated film officially premiered, a high-quality bootleg copy reportedly surfaced online and quickly spread across X, the social media platform owned by Elon Musk. The leak sparked concerns that piracy could hurt the movie’s opening-day performance, with fans urged across social media to avoid spoilers and support the official theatrical release.  Despite those fears, the latest Spider-Man adventure bounced back in spectacular fashion. According to early box office figures, Spider-Man: Brand New Day earned an astonishing $72 million in preview screenings, setting a new Marvel record. The figure surpassed the previous preview record of $60 million, which had been held by Avengers: Endgame since 2019. The milestone highlights the enormous excitement surrounding Tom Holland’s return as Peter Parker and demonstrates that audience demand remained strong despite the piracy concerns.  Industry analysts now expect the film to deliver one of the biggest opening weekends in box office history, with projections ranging between $260 million and $280 million worldwide. If those estimates hold, Brand New Day will cement itself as one of Marvel Studios’ most successful launches ever.  The overwhelming interest is hardly surprising. The film marks Holland’s first solo Spider-Man outing since 2021’s Spider-Man: No Way Home. The story follows Peter Parker as he struggles with life after Doctor Strange’s memory spell erased his identity from the world. Living in isolation, Peter faces emotional challenges while confronting dangerous new enemies in a fresh chapter for the Marvel Cinematic Universe.  Marvel has also benefited from an extensive promotional campaign leading up to the release. Earlier this year, the movie’s trailer generated unprecedented online attention, becoming the biggest trailer launch in history with more than 719 million views in its first 24 hours. That record later placed it ahead of the first Avengers: Doomsday trailer, underlining just how much anticipation surrounded the Spider-Man sequel long before tickets went on sale.  The recent piracy incident nevertheless serves as another reminder of the growing challenge facing major Hollywood releases. High-profile films increasingly become targets for online leaks, forcing studios to step up security while encouraging audiences to experience blockbusters in theaters instead of through illegal copies.  For Marvel, however, the early results suggest the leak had little impact on audience enthusiasm. Instead of slowing momentum, Spider-Man: Brand New Day has swung past expectations, broken a long-standing Marvel preview record, and positioned itself as one of the defining box office successes of 2026.

    Eman Fatima gets emotional discussing divorce controversy

    Content creator Eman Fatima has emotionally opened up regarding her ongoing divorce controversy with her estranged husband, prominent Pakistani YouTuber and vlogger Rajab Butt, sharing the intense emotional toll, public scrutiny, and personal heartbreaks that have accompanied their high-profile split. ​The public breakdown of their marriage captured widespread attention after legal divorce notices were issued, transforming a once-private marital dispute into a heavily debated online saga. Addressing her followers in an emotional video statement, Eman broke down while expressing her pain over how the fallout has affected both her and their infant son, Kivan. ​Responding to criticism accusing her of leveraging public sympathy and playing the “woman’s card” to sway opinion, Eman firmly rejected the claims, emphasizing that her primary motivation in speaking out has been to defend her character and safeguard her child’s future. She shared the immense difficulty of navigating pregnancy, health struggles, and legal complications largely in isolation, expressing deep regret over how private vulnerabilities were broadcast to digital audiences for content and engagement. ​”No woman marries expecting it to end in public humiliation or divorce, especially when a child is involved. To be accused of playing cards or seeking clout while simply trying to protect my dignity and my son is heartbreaking. I stayed silent through so much, but when false narratives threaten your integrity, you have no choice but to speak up. All I wanted was respect and a stable home for my child.” ​Eman also reflected on the breakdown of trust within the relationship, addressing allegations of infidelity and persistent domestic friction with in-laws that plagued their brief time together. She lamented that despite making compromises and forgiving past mistakes, the lack of private resolution and mutual respect ultimately made sustaining the marriage impossible. ​The emotional statement has reignited intense debate across social media, drawing widespread sympathy from fans and digital creators who condemned the trend of turning personal family tragedies into public online fodder. Many users voiced support for Eman, urging both parties to handle their remaining legal matters privately for the well-being of their young son. ​As the couple moves toward formal legal closure, Eman’s candid response highlights the dark side of influencer culture, where private grief and familial breakdown are increasingly exposed to the unforgiving spotlight of public judgment.

    Muttahida Madaris Council distances itself from Ma…

      The United Madaris Council has clarified that the recent statement made by Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman reflects only the political position of his party and should not be regarded as the stance of the council. In an official statement, the United Madaris Council emphasized that Maulana Fazlur Rehman’s remarks represent his personal and political viewpoint as the leader of his political party. The council stressed that it does not endorse or represent the views expressed in his statement and should not be associated with them. Council spokesperson Mir Asif Akbar Qadri stated that the United Madaris Council does not speak on behalf of any political party and remains an independent platform representing religious seminaries. He reiterated that the council’s primary focus is on educational, religious, and social matters concerning madaris rather than political affairs. The spokesperson further said that the sacrifices made by the martyrs and veterans of the Pakistan Armed Forces are a source of national pride and respect. He described the country’s martyrs and decorated military personnel as national heroes whose courage and dedication have played a vital role in safeguarding Pakistan’s sovereignty and security. Mir Asif Akbar Qadri added that any negative narrative against the sacrifices of the martyrs is unacceptable. He stressed that honoring those who laid down their lives in defense of the country is a collective national responsibility and that their services should always be acknowledged with dignity and respect. The United Madaris Council also rejected any attempts to associate religious seminaries, mosques, scholars, or students with activities that are considered anti-state. According to the spokesperson, madaris and religious institutions have no connection with actions that undermine the interests of the state or threaten national stability. He explained that religious seminaries across Pakistan are dedicated to providing Islamic education, promoting moral values, and serving society through peaceful means. The council believes that these institutions play an important role in educating students, strengthening ethical values, and fostering religious harmony. The spokesperson also expressed concern over the use of the names of madaris, mosques, religious scholars, and students in political campaigns or partisan debates. He stated that involving religious institutions in political controversies is unfair and creates unnecessary misunderstandings about their role in society. According to the council, religious seminaries should not be drawn into political disputes, as doing so can damage their reputation and distract them from their educational and religious responsibilities. The organization urged all political stakeholders to avoid using the names of religious institutions to advance political narratives. The statement reaffirmed that the United Madaris Council remains committed to promoting peace, unity, religious education, and national harmony. It also reiterated its support for the rule of law, constitutional values, and the stability of Pakistan. The council concluded by emphasizing that while individuals and political parties are free to express their own opinions, those views should not be attributed to religious institutions or the United Madaris Council unless officially endorsed. It called for responsible public discourse and urged all segments of society to work together for national unity, mutual respect, and the country’s continued peace and progress.

    Aryan Khan sparks dating rumours after London outing

    Aryan Khan, son of Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, has once again found himself at the centre of relationship speculation after he was spotted with a mystery woman during a recent outing in London. Photos and videos of the pair quickly went viral on social media, prompting fans to speculate about Aryan’s personal life. According to reports, the woman accompanying Aryan has been identified by social media users as content creator Vini Takyar. The two were allegedly seen leaving a casino in London together, with footage of the outing circulating widely online. Neither Aryan nor Vini has publicly addressed the dating rumours. For the outing, both Aryan and Vini opted for coordinated all-black outfits. Aryan kept his look understated, wearing a black T-shirt paired with matching trousers, while Vini also chose an all-black ensemble, adding to the attention surrounding their appearance together. The speculation gained further momentum after Vini shared photographs from her London trip on Instagram shortly after the videos surfaced online. She captioned the post simply, “London, ily.” Fans were also quick to notice that Aryan and Vini follow each other on Instagram, leading many to wonder if there is more than friendship between them. However, neither has confirmed the nature of their relationship, and no official statement has been issued by either side. This is not the first time Aryan Khan has made headlines over his rumoured love life. In recent years, he was linked to Brazilian model and actress Larissa Bonesi, although neither of them confirmed the reports. The speculation surrounding Larissa intensified after she appeared in promotional campaigns for D’YAVOL X, Aryan Khan’s luxury streetwear label. She was also seen attending the premiere of Aryan’s directorial debut web series, The Ba****ds of Bollywood, further fuelling rumours at the time. Despite the constant public interest in his personal life, Aryan has largely stayed away from discussing relationships and maintains a relatively private presence compared to other celebrity children. Professionally, Aryan has chosen a path different from his father. Instead of pursuing acting, he has focused on filmmaking and entrepreneurship. He first entered the business world by launching his premium fashion label, D’YAVOL X, which has collaborated with several well-known personalities and has become one of India’s most talked-about luxury streetwear brands. Aryan later made his directorial debut with The Ba****ds of Bollywood, marking his first major project behind the camera. The series attracted significant attention even before its release, with fans eager to see the filmmaker’s creative vision. Although Aryan generally avoids media attention and keeps his social media activity limited, his public appearances frequently generate widespread discussion online. Every outing, brand event or interaction is closely followed by fans, making him one of Bollywood’s most-watched celebrity children. The latest London sighting has once again sparked debate across social media, with many fans speculating about a possible romance between Aryan Khan and Vini Takyar. However, until either of them comments publicly, the reports remain unconfirmed. For now, Aryan continues to focus on expanding his career as a filmmaker and entrepreneur, while his private life remains a subject of intense curiosity among fans and entertainment followers.
