US Rejects International Criminal Court, Renames Artificial Intelligence to 'Super Intelligence'

Speaking on global conflicts and foreign policy, Donald Trump outlined the United States' stance on Iran, maritime security, and peace initiatives across the Middle East and beyond. Trump noted that US naval escorts in the Strait of Hormuz have kept oil shipments flowing despite violations by Tehran. Weighing diplomatic engagement against military confrontation, Trump asked, 'Will a deal be made with Iran that lets them rebuild and create a far greater country than it ever was before? Maybe one of the greatest in the Middle East or even the world, or do I annihilate the Islamic Republic and do it quickly, never giving them a chance to kill and destroy people and countries again?' He called for total economic isolation until Iran ends its nuclear ambitions and attacks on commercial shipping. Trump also highlighted the United Nations Security Council's endorsement of the 20-point Gaza Peace Plan, the establishment of the Board of Peace, and his role in mediating numerous protracted international conflicts.

Addressing global delegates, US President Donald Trump stated that the United States is stronger than ever as the nation marks 250 years of independence. Trump highlighted domestic economic achievements, noting the creation of over one million private sector jobs, record low poverty rates, and significant tax cuts. Turning to security, he asserted that border security has reached historic highs and violent crime has plummeted across major American cities. On foreign policy, Trump detailed decisive military measures taken against Iran, including Operation Midnight Hammer and Operation Epic Fury, which targeted and dismantled key military and nuclear infrastructure. Declaring that 'America is back', Trump emphasised his administration's commitment to confronting international threats directly, settling long-standing geopolitical challenges, and fostering global stability and economic strength through decisive leadership.

The 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly is underway in New York amid intense global conflicts, including a massive escalation in the Russia-Ukraine war and rising war clouds over Iran. European states and the NATO alliance face growing concerns over the conflict expanding beyond Ukraine. US President Donald Trump arrived at the United Nations headquarters to address the gathering, delivering a direct message to Russian President Vladimir Putin to end and settle the war. Meanwhile, Russia maintains that weapon supplies by multiple nations to Ukraine remain unacceptable as global leaders convene to address security and economic concerns.

A debate on women's safety in the national capital focuses on the alarming rise of sexual assault cases in Delhi, including the gang rape of a seventeen-year-old girl in the back lane of Lady Shri Ram College. Congress MP and former Union Minister Renuka Chowdhury, former NCW Chairperson Lalitha Kumaramangalam, women's rights activist Yogita Bhayana, and LSR student union president Anusha Garg discuss systemic administrative and policing failures. Renuka Chowdhury questioned the inaction over persistent crimes, stating, 'the national capital has been the national capital of rape for many years now' and asking 'why are we still in this situation where girls are being raped, there are predators all around, we are being hunted, and we still keep talking about it?' Panelists called for strict accountability, urgent parliamentary intervention, and robust reforms to ensure public safety for women.
