Prime Minister Narendra Modi received Uzbekistan's highest state honour from President Shavkat Mirziyoyev, and AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi used the moment to question the BJP-RSS narrative around Mughal emperor Babur.

Prime Minister Modi met Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian on the sidelines of the SCO summit in Bishkek.

Mohan Bhagwat's Toronto address recasts India's role as a world teacher rather than a great power. The speech's soft-power logic aligns with New Delhi's humanitarian outreach and resonates with the Indian-origin diaspora amid cautious India-Canada ties.

Iran launched missile strikes on US bases in Jordan after American forces hit Iranian rocket launchers near Larak island. The US Treasury is preparing weekly secondary sanctions on banks linked to Iran.
