India's stance on Indus treaty unchanged; Iran holds Khamenei's funeral

India has said that its stance on the Indus Water Treaty remains unchanged following cross-border terror attacks and to accelerate key water management projects to maximise domestic water use. In West Asia, a 60-day ceasefire between Iran, the United States, and Israel has reignited debate over shifting regional power dynamics, even as preparations continue for the funeral of Iran's late Supreme Leader under heightened security. Back home, the alleged theft of donations at the Ayodhya Ram Temple has triggered a major political storm, with the RSS calling it a betrayal of faith and demanding a thorough probe and reforms in temple management. The controversy has intensified the political battle between the ruling party and the opposition over accountability, transparency, and the management of public trusts and religious institutions.
