Strikes Continue In Iran Despite Trump Announcing Pause On Attacks

Strikes Continue In Iran Despite Trump Announcing Pause On Attacks

United States-Israeli attacks struck several Iranian cities overnight on Tuesday, with no sign of de-escalation despite claims from US President Donald Trump that Washington was holding talks with Tehran to end the conflict. Explosions were reported in Tehran and other key locations, while Iranian officials also reported damage to gas facilities and pipelines. The continued strikes come amid rising regional tensions, uncertainty over possible negotiations, and growing concern about the impact of the conflict on global energy supplies and security across the Gulf region. Strikes Hit Cities Large explosions were reported in the Iranian capital Tehran, while attacks also targeted Tabriz, Isfahan and Karaj, according to Iranian media reports. The Fars news agency said Israeli-US strikes hit two gas facilities and a pipeline in central Iran hours after planned attacks on power infrastructure were reportedly delayed. “As part of the ongoing attacks carried out by the Zionist and American enemy, the gas administration building and the gas pressure regulation station on Kaveh Street in Isfahan were targeted,” Fars reported, adding that the facilities were partially damaged. The agency also said a projectile struck near the Khorramshahr gas pipeline processing station in south-western Iran, quoting the governor of the border city. Local reports also said a university professor, Saeed Shamaghdari of the Iran University of Science and Technology, was killed along with his two children after his residence north of Tehran was hit. Israel has previously accused Iranian academics of links to weapons development. Talks Unclear As Conflict Widens The strikes came as diplomatic signals remained uncertain. Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi held calls with officials in Egypt and Oman in the past 24 hours, according to reports. However, senior Iranian figures denied that direct talks with the United States had taken place, despite Trump saying discussions were “very good and productive”. Iranian lawmaker Esmaeil Kowsari said officials must act cautiously before entering negotiations, warning that previous claims of talks had proved misleading, reports said. The conflict has spread across the wider Middle East, pushing oil prices higher and raising fears of a global energy crisis. Saudi Arabia said its air defence systems intercepted 19 drones targeting the Eastern Province, while Kuwait reported multiple missile and drone alerts overnight, with sirens sounding repeatedly until early morning, according to regional reports.

Cancelling a Train Ticket? New Railway Rule Slaps Heavy Penalty; Here’s How To Do It Right

Cancelling a Train Ticket? New Railway Rule Slaps Heavy Penalty; Here’s How To Do It Right

If you often book train tickets and plans change at the last minute, this update from Indian Railways may matter more than you think. In a move that could change how passengers cancel tickets or choose where to board, new rules are being rolled out in phases between April 1 and April 15, 2026. The changes focus on refund penalties and flexibility in boarding points.  At the same time, officials say the revised system is also aimed at addressing misuse in ticket bookings while making things more convenient for genuine passengers. What Are The New Cancellation Rules For Confirmed Tickets? Under the revised system, passengers cancelling tickets more than 72 hours before departure will get the highest refund, with only a flat cancellation charge per passenger.  If a ticket is cancelled between 72 hours and 24 hours before departure, 25% of the fare will be deducted, subject to the minimum charge. The penalty increases as departure nears. For cancellations between 24 hours and 8 hours before departure, 50% of the fare will be deducted. If a ticket is cancelled less than 8 hours before departure, no refund will be given. “According to an assessment of touts ticketing patterns, touts would book extra tickets and cancel unsold ones before train departure times, gaining significant booking amounts back as refunds,” Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said. He added that stricter rules are expected to curb such practices. How To Cancel Train Tickets And Change Boarding Point Online? To cancel a ticket, log in to your booking account, open the booked ticket section, select the journey, and choose the cancel option. The refund will depend on how early the cancellation is made, based on the revised rules. Passengers can also change their boarding station through the same platform up to 30 minutes before departure. Earlier, this option was available only before chart preparation. The Railway Ministry said this change will help passengers in cities with multiple stations, allowing them to choose a more convenient boarding point.

World Tuberculosis Day 2026: Signs, Causes, Treatment And All You Need To Know About This Disease

Every year on March 24, World Tuberculosis Day is observed to raise awareness about one of the world’s oldest yet still prevalent infectious diseases. It serves as a reminder that despite medical advancements, tuberculosis (TB) continues to impact millions of lives globally. The day encourages early detection, timely treatment, and informed understanding, because awareness is often the first step toward prevention. ALSO READ: No Smoking Day 2026: Know The Health Benefits Of Quitting Smoking And Tips To Beat Cravings Understanding Tuberculosis Tuberculosis is a bacterial infection caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. While it primarily targets the lungs, it can also spread to other parts of the body, making it a condition that requires careful attention and timely care. There are different forms of TB, each with its own impact on the body: Pulmonary TB affects the lungs and is the most common form. Extrapulmonary TB spreads beyond the lungs, impacting areas like the lymph nodes, spine, or brain. Latent TB exists in the body without causing symptoms. Active TB is symptomatic and can spread to others. Recognising the type of TB plays a key role in determining the right course of treatment. Symptoms Of Tuberculosis TB often develops gradually, and its symptoms may initially seem mild. However, as the condition progresses, certain signs become more noticeable. Common symptoms include: A persistent cough lasting more than two to three weeks Fever that doesn’t subside Night sweats Unexplained weight loss Blood in sputum Constant fatigue When these symptoms linger, they shouldn’t be ignored. Early testing can make a significant difference in both treatment and recovery. Common Causes Of Tuberculosis Tuberculosis spreads through the air. When an infected person coughs or sneezes, tiny droplets carrying the bacteria can be inhaled by others nearby. Certain factors increase the risk of infection: Close and prolonged contact with someone who has TB A weakened immune system Poor nutrition or malnutrition Existing conditions like diabetes Smoking habits Simple precautions, along with timely diagnosis, can go a long way in reducing the spread of this infection.

Dalal Street Ends Higher Following Oil-Import Relief, Sensex Rises Over 1,300 Points, Nifty Tests 22,900

The Indian benchmark indices ended higher on Tuesday as the Sensex jumped over 1,372 points to end trade at 74,068, while the Nifty rose more than 445 points to close at 22,957.80, at 3:30 PM. In the 30-share BSE Sensex, among the top gainers were stocks such as IndiGo, L&T, Eternal, Bajaj Finance and Asian Paints. PowerGrid was the laggard. In the broader markets, the Nifty Microcap 250 gained 2.88 per cent as volatility remained high. Sectorally, the Nifty Media index gained 3.21 per cent. Previously, during the early morning session, the BSE Sensex opened the session around 73,900, rallying more than 1,100 points, and the NSE Nifty50 started trading near 22,850, soaring over 300 points, at 9:15 AM. Equities Rally, Oil Prices Retreat Global markets rallied after US President Donald Trump signalled that Washington was engaging with Iran, fuelling hopes of a diplomatic breakthrough. Wall Street reacted sharply, with the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average gaining over 1 per cent. Markets reversed earlier losses within minutes of the announcement, reflecting a swift shift in investor sentiment. Oil prices also declined, dropping from above $112 per barrel to below $100 as concerns over immediate supply disruptions eased. Oil Slips Below $100, Uncertainty Remains Brent crude fell below the $100 mark following the announcement, offering some relief to energy-importing economies such as India. However, analysts cautioned that the correction may not be sustained, with the broader energy market remaining vulnerable. Estimates cited by the International Energy Agency indicate that global oil supply has fallen by around 11 million barrels per day since the conflict began, making the disruption more severe than previous energy shocks. Strait Of Hormuz Continues To Pose Risk The Strait of Hormuz remains a critical concern for global markets, with nearly 30 per cent of the world’s crude oil passing through the route. Iran has previously warned of potential disruptions in the strait, raising the risk of renewed supply shocks. Any escalation in the region could quickly reverse the recent easing in oil prices. Experts noted that even if tensions subside, restoring normal supply chains may take time, keeping volatility elevated. Rally Built On Expectations, Not Certainty Despite the rebound, market participants remain cautious. Analysts said the rally is largely driven by expectations of de-escalation rather than confirmed developments. Past trends during the conflict have shown that temporary market recoveries were often followed by renewed volatility after fresh attacks. There is still no clear evidence of sustained negotiations between the US and Iran, leaving uncertainty over the longer-term outlook. Implications For India And Global Economy The developments carry significant implications for India, given its dependence on crude imports from the Gulf region. Prolonged disruptions could push up fuel prices, widen the current account deficit and add to inflationary pressures. A sustained crisis could also affect global growth, trade flows and currency stability. While markets have responded positively in the short term, analysts maintain that underlying risks linked to the conflict and energy markets remain firmly in place.
